Dr. Mark Schoemann is a board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon who frequently consults with women who desire to get their pre-pregnancy shape back.
Even though childbirth is an exciting and amazing experience for a woman, it usually does alter the size and shape of various body parts — and can leave one feeling frustrated. The great news is that it’s possible to get a youthful, slimmer, tighter figure thanks to the help of a holistic mommy makeover from Schoemann Plastic Surgery in Encinitas, CA. Though the mommy makeover is typically a blend of liposuction and skin removal to target both the upper body (arms and breasts) and lower body (such as the tummy), any area affected by pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or the birthing process can be corrected. In addition, nonsurgical procedures can be used to correct surface irregularities, such as hyperpigmentation and blotchy skin, from the quick fluctuation and stretching of the tissue and skin during pregnancy.
Combines multiple plastic surgery procedures—such as breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction—to restore your pre-pregnancy body
Addresses several concerns in one surgical procedure, minimizing overall recovery time and time away from family
Each mommy makeover is uniquely designed to meet your aesthetic goals, whether it’s restoring breast volume, tightening abdominal muscles, or removing excess skin
Typically performed under general anesthesia at our accredited surgical facility in San Diego
Ideal for many women at a stable weight with realistic expectations and a desire to correct post-pregnancy body changes
While having children is endlessly rewarding, it can also take a real physical toll. If you are a mom whose childbearing days are done, a mommy makeover can help you regain your pre-pregnancy figure.
The specific procedures included within a mommy makeover can vary from patient to patient; it really just depends on your needs, your goals, and your expectations. With that said, most mommy makeover patients choose to have some combination of breast augmentation, a breast lift, liposuction, and a tummy tuck. Dr. Schoemann uses a holistic approach to help determine the most effective combination of procedures to restore your pre-pregnancy self.
Consider the potential benefits that each of these procedures might offer as part of your mommy makeover.
Between pregnancy and breastfeeding, many moms find that their breast volume is significantly depleted. If your breasts are not as robust as they once were, implants can help you regain lost volume and form. For this reason, many of our patients choose to include breast augmentation in their mommy makeover procedure.
Have pregnancy and breastfeeding left you with droopy, sagging breasts, or with a nipple that falls under the breast fold? A breast lift can help you change the overall shape and physical appearance of your breasts, either on its own or in conjunction with breast augmentation. Breast lifts are very common within mommy makeovers.
Liposuction is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures in the entire country. Essentially, it involves excess fat cells being eliminated from your body, literally sucked out via a vacuum effect. Liposuction can be an ideal solution for moms who just cannot seem to lose those stubborn fat deposits, no matter how much they diet and exercise.
A tummy tuck procedure can be used either in addition to or instead of liposuction, allowing you to get rid of excess fat. A tummy tuck also involves the strengthening of your muscle wall, providing you with the flat abs you have dreamed of. For women whose ab muscles were damaged in childbirth, this restorative procedure can be a game changer.
A mommy makeover is a highly customizable procedure performed under general anesthesia. It is designed to combine several cosmetic surgery procedures into one surgical session.
Depending on your goals, Dr. Schoemann may perform a breast lift, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction, or other body contouring techniques. The entire mommy makeover surgery is tailored to address the physical effects of pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding on a woman’s body.
During the procedure, loose or excess skin may be removed, the abdominal muscles tightened, and stubborn fat deposits suctioned away. In breast surgery, options may include restoring breast volume with breast implants or reshaping sagging breasts through a breast lift. By performing multiple procedures at once, patients benefit from a more efficient recovery period and a comprehensive return to their pre-pregnancy body.
A mommy makeover addresses a wide range of post-pregnancy changes that many women experience. These include deflated or sagging breasts, weakened abdominal muscles, loose skin around the midsection, and areas of excess fat that do not respond to diet or exercise.
This combination approach also helps correct changes in breast volume, shape, and position, along with skin laxity and stretch marks across the belly. For moms who feel disconnected from their pre-baby body, this plastic surgery procedure can offer real, lasting improvements in both appearance and self-confidence.
A mommy makeover can target the breasts, abdomen, flanks, buttocks, thighs, and sometimes the arms—virtually any area affected by pregnancy and weight fluctuations. Most mommy makeover procedures focus on breast enhancement and abdominal contouring for a balanced, full-body transformation.
One of the great advantages of having a mommy makeover is that it allows you to combine multiple procedures into a single surgical experience. In other words, you will be put under, and then your surgeon can perform each of your chosen procedures on the same day.
There are a number of benefits to this. By limiting your exposure to anesthesia, it can help you reduce surgical risk. Additionally, having all of your procedures done at once can limit your recovery time. And of course, only having to schedule a single surgery can be more convenient and less expensive.
For so many new moms, surgery is necessary to regain their pre-pregnancy shape. Dr. Schoemann's goal is to help you regain your pre-pregnancy figure so you can resume life without worry. He will have a consultation with you to discuss your needs for safety and comfort to determine the right treatment plan for you.
The right candidates for a mommy makeover procedure are individuals who:
The mommy makeover recovery process varies depending on the specific procedures performed, but most patients should plan for about a week of initial downtime, followed by several weeks of gradual healing. During the first few weeks, you'll need help around the house, especially if you have young children. Activities that strain the abdominal muscles or stretch the incision areas should be avoided to prevent complications.
Wearing compression garments can minimize swelling and support your results. Most women can return to light activity within two weeks and resume more vigorous routines in four to six weeks. Dr. Schoemann and his team will guide you through every step, ensuring a safe and smooth recovery period tailored to your body and surgical plan.
Visible changes from mommy makeover surgery begin to emerge in the first few weeks as swelling decreases and your body heals. Final results typically take shape within three to six months, depending on the extent of the procedures and your body’s natural healing process.
Results from a mommy makeover can be long-lasting, especially when supported by a healthy lifestyle and stable weight. Although aging and gravity continue, many women enjoy their post-pregnancy transformation for years—with a more sculpted, balanced silhouette and enhanced body confidence.

The cost of a mommy makeover varies based on the number and type of procedures included. A detailed quote will be provided during your consultation, and financing options may be available. Since this is a cosmetic procedure, it’s not covered by health insurance.
Technically yes, but it’s best to wait until you're finished having children. Pregnancy after a mommy makeover can reverse or alter the results, especially in the abdominal and breast areas.
During your consultation, Dr. Schoemann will evaluate your goals, health history, and body to create a personalized surgical plan. Some patients benefit from breast surgery and a tummy tuck alone, while others may include liposuction or non-surgical enhancements.
Yes. Combining surgeries into a single session is common and generally safe when performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Schoemann. It also means one recovery period instead of multiple periods of downtime.
A tummy tuck can still be performed safely after a C-section. In fact, the tummy tuck incision often replaces the C-section scar, allowing for smoother results and skin tightening in the same area.
