What is a Mommy Makeover....Dr. Elizabeth Lee answers your questions

Pregnancy and motherhood are beautiful, life-changing experiences—but they can also leave lasting changes to your body. Many women notice differences in their breasts, abdomen, and overall shape that don’t fully respond to diet and exercise.

At ArtfulSurgery, Dr. Elizabeth Lee offers a Mommy Makeover in Lafayette, CA—a personalized surgical approach designed to restore your body and confidence after pregnancy.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is not a single procedure, but a customized combination of surgeries tailored to your specific goals and anatomy.

Pregnancy can permanently affect:

  • Breasts (volume loss, sagging, asymmetry)
  • Abdomen (loose skin, stretched muscles)
  • Hips and waist (stubborn fat deposits)

A Mommy Makeover addresses these concerns in a comprehensive, strategic way—helping restore balance and natural-looking results.

What Procedures Are Included?

Every Mommy Makeover at ArtfulSurgery is individualized, but commonly includes:

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

  • Removes excess skin
  • Tightens abdominal muscles (repairs rectus diastasis)
  • Creates a flatter, more toned abdomen

Breast Enhancement

  • Breast augmentation to restore volume

  • Breast reduction for improved comfort and proportion

Liposuction

  • Targets stubborn fat in hips, waist, and thighs
  • Refines body contour for a balanced result

Why Choose a Mommy Makeover?

  • Addresses multiple areas in one surgery
  • Creates more balanced, natural-looking results
  • Reduces overall recovery time compared to separate procedures
  • Fully customized to your body and goals

Dr. Lee carefully designs each plan to match your lifestyle, anatomy, and aesthetic vision.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

  • You are finished having children
  • You are done breastfeeding
