About Mommy Makeover
Plastic Surgery Vegas frequently works with women who want their pre-pregnancy physique back. Even though childbirth is a miraculous, wonderful moment for a woman, it often will alter the look, shape, and size of various body parts — and could leave one feeling frustrated. The most exciting news is that it's possible to get a slim and taut appearance, thanks to the help of the mommy makeover procedure performed at Plastic Surgery Vegas. The mommy makeover procedure uses a blend of skin tightening and fat reduction methods to target the abdomen and breasts, and other affected body parts — essentially any body part affected by pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or breastfeeding can be addressed. Furthermore, nonsurgical remedies can be incorporated to repair surface irregularities, such as hyperpigmentation from the quick fluctuation and stretching of the tissue and skin during pregnancy.
Am I A Candidate for a mommy makeover?
The right candidates for body contouring and mommy makeover surgery are females who have undergone pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing, and have worked to achieve a slimmer, tighter figure through a clean diet with little result. For so many new moms, surgical intervention is needed to reclaim their pre-pregnancy body. If you have completed childbearing, but you are displeased with the effects remaining on your body, such as deflated, sagging breasts, wrinkled skin in the abdominal area, or unwanted pockets of fat in the hips, flanks, lower back, and buttocks, this procedure could help you. The overall goal of our team is to help you regain your pre-pregnancy body so you can resume life without feeling self-conscious.
how is a mommy makeover performed?
A mommy makeover is a unique surgery tailored for patients by our surgical team based on the areas of concern that need to be addressed. Many procedures can be considered together — the most common treatments are breast lift, breast implants, tummy tuck, and liposuction. These surgeries are performed using general anesthesia, lasting 3 – 7 hours, depending on the number of treatments. In addition, a day-long stay at the hospital may be needed. It is common to also incorporate nonsurgical skin procedures, such as laser treatments and injectables, to soften facial wrinkles and reduce surface imperfections.
Mommy Makeover Reviews
Dr. Higgins and all of the staff are exceptional!! Getting my body back after multiple pregnancies and other health issues has been a long journey for me. When I finally succeeded at reaching my goal weight, I was thrilled to be able to finally get to do the “mommy makeover.” It’s a big scary decision and finding such a caring and attentive doctor, nurses and staff is difficult. I was impressed by Dr. Higgins consultation where I didn’t feel pushed into anything I wasn’t comfortable with. He listened carefully to the look I wanted to achieve, and he assured me that he wouldn’t do anything he wouldn’t do to his own family. His assistants were more than helpful answering my emails and inquiries quickly. Before, during and after the surgery they were available and checked on my progress. The operating staff was also so sweet and kind and put my nerves at ease, keeping me laughing till I went in. Dr. Silver even worked when the office was closed during a holiday to get my pesky drain out! (THANK YOU!). Everything went smoothly and I am so ECSTATIC about my results. I did this so I can keep up with my family and gain my confidence back to participate in all the activities that used to hold me back due to being so self conscious. I haven’t felt or looked this great in 20 years!! Nothing can hold me back now! Now I go regularly for skin care as well! This place is gem in our desert. Dr. Higgins and Plastic Surgery Vegas staff, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!! - V
Exceptional, amazing, world-class! I could throw adjectives at this wonderful clinic and staff all day and still not do it justice. The professionalism, level and standard of care, and attention to detail are simply the best around. I received consults at several places and was completely convinced this was the right fit for me as soon as I started my consult with Dr. Silver. His expertise and bedside manner put me instantly at ease and I knew instantly I had found "my" surgeon - or one of them, as it eventually turned out. I was consulting for a breast lift and implant replacement as well as a tummy tuck - a "mommy makeover." I felt perfectly at ease with Dr. Silver doing the entire set of procedures, but he recommended - in my best interest health wise AND financially - to have two surgeons simultaneously and cut my time under anesthesia. I agreed and did a second consult with Dr. Edwards about a week later. The combined procedure was scheduled just a couple months out and they were even able to accommodate my request to push it back a month so I could get a short notice shoulder surgery first. I was pretty anxious having a few big procedures in a very short time span, but couldn't be happier with my results or my recovery. I'm convinced that everything from their pre-op care, sending a nurse home with me for my first night after surgery and all of the fantastic follow up care have led to my very quick recovery time. Friends who had the abdominoplasty warned me it was a very painful and arduous recovery. I was off pain meds (except basic Tylenol and then muscle relaxers at bedtime) within 2 days, drain-free and walking fully upright within a week. Obviously that's not a typical recovery, but I'm attributing a large portion of it to the skill of the surgical team and the post op care. You cannot go wrong with this place!! Amazing results and their glowing reviews and solid 5 star rating speak for themselves! Get in for that consult and let them work their magic - you won't regret the decision. Best of luck in your transformation! <3
I searched the whole Las Vegas area for the perfect doctor to handle my mommy makeover with a skilled hand, easy going, and perfection. Dr Higgin’s is amazing!!! Plus, you get to work with a sweet, funny, and wonderful staff!
Dr. Higgins is the absolute best! I had a mommy makeover and his work has exceeded all my expectations. Dr. Higgins is also the most caring & responsive surgeon I've worked with. When he says he's available, he truly means it. His entire staff and the staff at the office are also so caring, accommodating and responsive. I am so happy with my decision to use Dr. Higgins and would recommend him to anyone!
I had the pleasure of undergoing a mommy makeover with Dr. Higgins at Plastic Surgery Vegas (PSV) five weeks ago, and I am beyond impressed with the results and the care I received. From the start, the entire staff at PSV, his medical assistants, surgical nurses and the entire team, were exceptional. Their professionalism and support made the entire process smooth and reassuring. Dr. Higgins stands out for his compassion, skill, and remarkable talent in body transformation. His bedside manner is excellent, and his surgical expertise is truly impressive—his hands seem almost magical. At just five weeks post-surgery, I am already amazed by how my body looks, and I am excited to see the final results once the swelling fully subsides. Thank you, Dr. Higgins, and everyone at Plastic Surgery Vegas, for making this experience so positive. Your dedication and expertise are greatly appreciated!

what is recovery like following a mommy makeover?
Once leaving the hospital, you will begin your recovery at home with rest. The recovery process is generally a lengthy process. Walking will be hard the first week or so, and a step-by-step, at-home treatment protocol will be provided to help the incisions and sutures heal properly. The majority of women find the healing process can last about six months. Even though the primary recovery could take months, the majority of women are able to return to a normal routine within several weeks. Working out should wait for around two months. In the end, this surgery at Plastic Surgery Vegas can be an amazing journey for women, giving them their self-confidence once again.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I decide what to include in my mommy makeover?
During your initial consultation, we will listen to your concerns and goals before performing a physical examination. Following this, we can make suggestions on what to include in your surgical plan. Most women want a breast surgery (augmentation and/or a lift), plus liposuction and a body lift.
What about nonsurgical treatments?
Childbirth and pregnancy are hard on your body so nonsurgical procedures are usually not enough to get the results you want. In your consultation, we will explain both nonsurgical and surgical options. Based on your needs and goals, we will let you know if procedures, like CoolSculpting, vaginal rejuvenation, or noninvasive skin tightening, can be helpful.
Will I have scars?
Although a mommy makeover offers a beautiful new figure, it does leave some scarring. Our surgical team will do our best to make clean, small incisions and place them in areas that can be hidden with clothing. As part of your post-surgical care instructions, we will give you tips on scar care so your stitches heal flat and eventually fade.
What if I get pregnant again?
We recommend that patients wait to have a mommy makeover until after all pregnancies have been completed so the surgical results are not compromised. In most cases, all treated areas of your body are at risk of changing if you got pregnant again. Should you get pregnant after a mommy makeover, another surgery may be performed to refresh your results.
