There are many factors that can take a toll on your body shape, such as pregnancy, weight gain or loss, age, and menopause. If you want to regain your pre-childbearing contours, a Mommy Makeover at New Jersey’s Sood Center may be right for you. Dr. Mohit Sood and his team will provide a customized series of surgical procedures to address areas such as the breasts and belly, which are most highly impacted by pregnancy.
Pregnancy brings extraordinary changes to the body, many of which naturally resolve over time. However, some physical effects can linger long after childbirth and breastfeeding. The breasts, for example, often lose volume and firmness due to hormonal shifts and the stretching of skin and tissue. This can lead to a deflated or sagging appearance that doesn’t always respond to exercise or time.
The abdominal area also tends to experience lasting changes. As the belly expands to accommodate a growing baby, the skin and abdominal muscles stretch—sometimes separating in a condition known as diastasis recti. Even after returning to a healthy weight, many women find it difficult to tighten and tone this area fully, especially when loose skin or stubborn fat remains.
These lasting effects can impact confidence and comfort in your body. That’s where a Mommy Makeover comes in.
If you want to get your body back to the way it was before, a Mommy Makeover includes a host of body sculpting procedures that can be helpful. This is not a standard or one-size-fits-all procedure. Instead, this collection of cosmetic surgeries is customized based on your unique needs, lifestyle, and anatomy.
In most cases, this combined body contouring procedure will include some type of breast surgery and a tummy tuck, since it is designed to rejuvenate areas that are heavily affected by motherhood.
A Mommy Makeover can safely and effectively enhance multiple areas of the body—such as the breasts and abdomen—at the same time in a single surgical session. The goal is to restore your ideal aesthetic. Dr. Sood can help you decide which body areas you would like to target at a personalized consultation.
Feel Like You Again
A Mommy Makeover offers a powerful way to reclaim confidence and feel great in your own skin. One of the biggest benefits of a Mommy Makeover is how it helps women feel like the best version of themselves—strong, refreshed, and more in control of their appearance. A Mommy Makeover can bring back a flatter, firmer midsection and lift or reshape the breasts to better match how you feel on the inside.
One Recovery, Big Results
Many women love that a Mommy Makeover targets multiple concerns at once, saving time and offering a more dramatic transformation with just one recovery period. Clothes tend to fit better, workouts feel more rewarding, and that mirror moment each morning feels a little more empowering.
Confidence Isn’t Just Cosmetic
Beyond the physical changes, a Mommy Makeover often delivers a deep emotional benefit. It’s about prioritizing yourself after years of putting others first. For women who want to feel rejuvenated and confident, a Mommy Makeover isn’t just cosmetic—it’s a meaningful reset. From smoothing curves to boosting self-esteem, the benefits of a Mommy Makeover can last for years and truly enhance how you move through the world.
Prior to your Mommy Makeover, you will start by having an initial consultation with Dr. Sood. He will go over your medical history while also discussing your goals for the procedure. Anesthesia will be administered for your comfort, and the specific steps involved in the procedure will vary for each patient. When it comes to achieving the best possible results from your surgery, your recovery experience is just as important as the procedure itself. Dr. Sood and his team will provide guidelines and aftercare support to help ensure an optimal recovery.
Following the Mommy Makeover procedure, you can expect some soreness, tenderness, and swelling. You will need to get plenty of rest and avoid heavy exercise or lifting for several weeks. Some Mommy Makeover results will be visible, but the final look of your surgery will not be evident right away because it will take your body some time to heal and the results to “settle.”
One of the advantages of this treatment is that only one surgery will be required to rejuvenate multiple areas of your body at once. This makes it especially appealing for busy moms—and anyone with a schedule to keep!
A good candidate for a Mommy Makeover is someone who wants to address lingering changes to their body after pregnancy, such as stretched abdominal skin, separated muscles, or sagging breasts. If you’re bothered by the way your body has changed and want to restore a more youthful, confident appearance, a Mommy Makeover may be right for you. Ideal candidates are typically at or near their goal weight and have realistic expectations about what a Mommy Makeover can achieve. Whether it’s to fit better in clothes or feel more like yourself again, a Mommy Makeover offers a highly personalized solution.
Combining surgeries with a Mommy Makeover won’t always be the best option for every patient. Even if you’re not a new or recent mother, you might be eligible for a Mommy Makeover if you have experienced a pregnancy or simply want to address multiple areas at once.
I had a breast augmentation performed by Dr. Sood at the end of 2013. My goal was to have my breast look fuller again after having breastfed 3 children. Dr. Sood was very helpful before and after the surgery. I am totally pleased with the results and have recommended several women to make an appointment to see Dr. Sood.”
Most surgeons recommend waiting at least six months to one year after giving birth before having a Mommy Makeover. This allows time for your body to heal, your weight to stabilize, and hormones to return to normal. If you’re breastfeeding, it’s best to wait at least six months after you’ve stopped, as the breasts need time to settle into their post-lactation shape. It’s also ideal to be finished having children, since future pregnancies can affect your surgical results. Giving your body time to fully recover helps ensure safer procedures and more lasting, satisfying outcomes from your Mommy Makeover.
The cost of a Mommy Makeover will vary depending on which procedures you have chosen to include in your surgery. Dr. Sood will discuss this with you during your consultation and explain what is involved in the total cost of the procedure.
To preserve the best results from a Mommy Makeover, it’s important to maintain a stable weight, follow a healthy diet, and stay active with regular exercise. Significant weight fluctuations or future pregnancies can impact your surgical outcomes. Wearing any recommended compression garments and following our aftercare instructions also supports long-lasting results. Prioritize hydration, avoid smoking, and protect your scars from sun exposure to promote smooth healing. Routine follow-up appointments help your us monitor your progress and address concerns early. With the right lifestyle choices and self-care, you can enjoy your refreshed contours and confidence for years to come.
All of the procedures commonly included in Mommy Makeovers—such as liposuction, tummy tucks, and breast augmentation or breast lifts—can be performed as standalone procedures for patients who want to enhance specific areas. New Jersey’s Sood Center would also be happy to discuss other options for enhancing your body shape and contours, such as an arm lift, thigh lift, or a Brazilian butt lift.
