Medically reviewed by Dr. Troy Austin, MD — double board-certified plastic surgeon ◆ Updated July 2026

A mommy makeover is a customized combination of procedures — most often a tummy tuck and a breast lift or augmentation, sometimes with liposuction — performed together in one surgery to restore the body after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Stretched abdominal muscles and deflated or sagging breasts are changes that diet and exercise simply can’t fix. At Southeastern Aesthetic Surgery in Augusta, GA, Dr. Troy Austin designs each mommy makeover around the changes that bother you most — nothing more, nothing less.

The training a combined surgery deserves.

A mommy makeover asks a surgeon to do several things well in one operation, safely. Dr. Austin is double board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery, completed his plastic surgery fellowship at the Medical College of Georgia, and trained in general surgery at the Ochsner Clinic Foundation in New Orleans. The surgeon who plans your makeover is the one who performs it, and he’ll tell you honestly what to combine and what to leave for another day.

Just as important is where it happens: your surgery is performed in our accredited on-site surgery center with board-certified anesthesia and careful attention to safe surgical time and recovery.

A mommy makeover isn't about becoming someone new. It's about giving a mom back the body she recognizes — safely, and in one recovery. Dr. Troy Austin

Is it right for you?

No amount of sit-ups fixes this.

If your abdominal muscles separated during pregnancy, no plank will pull them back together. If breastfeeding left your breasts deflated or sagging, no workout restores that volume. These are physical, structural changes — and feeling frustrated by them isn’t a lack of discipline. A mommy makeover is for mothers who are finished having children, at or near a stable weight, and ready to restore what pregnancy changed. Dr. Austin will listen first, then build a plan around your priorities.

The procedure

One surgery, one recovery.

The real advantage of a mommy makeover is efficiency: several corrections in one trip to the operating room, under one anesthesia, with one recovery instead of several.

Planned around your priorities

At your consultation, Dr. Austin listens to what bothers you most and maps a plan — which procedures, in what combination, and whether everything is best done together or thoughtfully staged.

Performed together, safely

Your combined procedure is performed under general anesthesia in our accredited on-site surgery center, typically over several hours. Most patients go home the same day or stay overnight for comfort and monitoring.

One recovery instead of several

Because it’s one surgery, you recover once — one stretch of downtime, one round of help at home — rather than repeating recovery for each procedure separately.

When staging is smarter

Sometimes doing everything at once isn’t the safest choice. If your goals would mean too long in surgery, Dr. Austin will recommend splitting the plan — because a great result should never come at the expense of safety.

Customized, not a package. No two mommy makeovers are alike — yours is built from the procedures you actually need.

Safety first

Combining procedures, responsibly.

It’s natural to wonder whether combining procedures is safe. Done thoughtfully, by the right surgeon in the right setting, a mommy makeover has a strong safety record — and Dr. Austin takes that seriously at every step.

The right surgeon & setting

Your surgery is performed by a double board-certified plastic surgeon in an accredited on-site surgery center, with board-certified anesthesia care throughout — not a lesser setting.

Sensible limits

The safest combined procedures respect reasonable surgical time. If your goals would push that too far, Dr. Austin stages them — the single most important decision in keeping a mommy makeover safe.

Guarding against complications

Careful measures reduce the risks that matter most — including steps to prevent blood clots (VTE), infection, and healing problems — with clear aftercare and close follow-up.

Honest candidacy

Being a non-smoker, in good health, and near a stable weight all lower your risk. If you’re not yet an ideal candidate, Dr. Austin will tell you — and help you get there.

Safety over ‘more.’

A responsible surgeon sometimes says “let’s stage this.” That answer protects you.

Investment

How much does a mommy makeover cost in Augusta?

Because every mommy makeover is customized, the price depends on which procedures you combine. In the Augusta area, most range from $12,000 to $25,000. Your exact, all-in quote — surgery, anesthesia, and facility — is confirmed in writing at your consultation.

Tummy tuck + breast surgery (core makeover) $20,000+
Add liposuction to your plan $1,100+
Add-ons (labiaplasty & more) Quoted individually
Consultation with Dr. Austin $100

Combining procedures is usually more affordable than having each done separately, because you share one anesthesia and one facility fee. Your exact price is confirmed in writing after your consultation, and financing is available through Cherry, CareCredit, PatientFi, and Alle Financing.

Timing & recovery

The right time, and what to expect.

When is the right time?

The best results come once you’re finished having children and at or near a stable weight. A mommy makeover won’t stop you from safely carrying a future pregnancy — but a pregnancy afterward can undo the results, so most mothers wait until their family is complete. If you’ve been breastfeeding, plan to wait three to six months after you finish so your breasts settle.

Recovery, honestly

  • Week 1: the hardest stretch — rest, limited movement, and help at home; arrange childcare in advance.
  • Weeks 2–3: many return to desk work; still no lifting or strain.
  • Weeks 4–6: gradually back to more activity as Dr. Austin clears you.
  • 6 weeks: most resume full activity and exercise; swelling keeps settling for months.

Planning around your family

Recovering with young children takes planning. Our team helps you think it through — from arranging help at home to, for out-of-town moms, a comfortable local stay for the first week.

Line up help early. The mothers who recover most comfortably are the ones who arranged childcare and support before surgery day.

Mommy makeover Questions.

What is a mommy makeover?

A mommy makeover is a customized combination of procedures — most often a tummy tuck and a breast lift or augmentation, sometimes with liposuction — performed together in one surgery to restore the body after pregnancy and breastfeeding. It addresses changes like stretched abdominal muscles and deflated or sagging breasts that diet and exercise can’t fix.

It’s tailored to you, not a fixed package. The core building blocks are a tummy tuck (for loose skin and separated muscles), a breast lift and/or augmentation (for shape and volume), and liposuction (for stubborn fat). Add-ons like labiaplasty or a BBL can be included. Dr. Austin combines only what fits your goals.

Because it’s customized, cost depends on which procedures you combine — most in the Augusta area range from about $12,000 to $25,000. Combining is usually more affordable than separate surgeries because you share one anesthesia and facility fee. Your written, all-in quote is confirmed at consultation, and financing is available through Cherry, CareCredit, PatientFi, and Alle Financing.

Yes — done thoughtfully, a mommy makeover has a strong safety record. Safety comes from the right surgeon (double board-certified), the right setting (an accredited surgery center with board-certified anesthesia), sensible limits on surgical time, and measures to prevent complications like blood clots. When goals would push surgery too long, Dr. Austin stages them — that judgment is what keeps it safe.

The first week is the hardest and you’ll need help at home; many return to desk work by two to three weeks, and most resume full activity around six weeks as cleared. Because it’s one combined surgery, you recover once rather than repeating recovery for each procedure. Swelling continues to settle for months.

The best results come once you’re finished having children and at or near a stable weight. If you’ve been breastfeeding, wait three to six months after you finish so your breasts settle. A mommy makeover won’t prevent a safe future pregnancy, but pregnancy afterward can undo the results — so most mothers wait until their family is complete.

No — it won’t stop you from safely carrying a pregnancy later. However, a future pregnancy can stretch the muscles and skin again and undo your results, which is why it’s usually best to wait until you’re done having children.

Yes — the procedures involved (like a tummy tuck and breast lift) do leave scars, but they’re placed where underwear, a bra, and swimwear conceal them, and they fade over about a year. Dr. Austin plans incisions carefully and guides you through scar care.

Often one surgery — that’s the main advantage. But if your goals would mean too much time under anesthesia, Dr. Austin will recommend staging for safety. He’ll give you an honest recommendation at your consultation.
