What is a Mommy Makeover:
A Mommy Makeover is a group of procedures, varying patient to patient, designed to restore and invigorate a woman after her body has undergone the strain of childbirth. Pregnancy, delivery and breastfeeding can create different issues for each woman, and so the “Mommy Makeover” will be unique for each patient.
What Procedures are Included in a Mommy Makeover?
Dr. Rahban says mommy makeover procedures often include such procedures as:
Breast Lift
Many mothers consider a breast lift to raise the breasts to a higher placement on the chest and correct any breast asymmetries. Because breasts often sag with age and breastfeeding can accelerate this, a lift is often done during a mommy makeover to bring back the bounce in the breasts and give them a youthful, upward tilt again.
During this procedure, Dr. Rahban will reshape the breasts and remove excess breast skin and tissue. To enhance the nipples, he will reduce the size of the areola and raise them higher so that they point naturally upward.
Liposuction
After pregnancy, there are often stubborn pockets or areas of fat on the body that just won’t budge with diet and exercise. Common areas are the abdomen and thighs, but there may be others that are bothering you as well.
Dr. Rahban will perform liposuction to slim and contour your body, removing the fat permanently and shaping your physique beautifully.
Breast Augmentation
Breasts often lose volume after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Dr. Rahban corrects this with breast implants or fat augmentation to enhance the size and shape of the breasts.
During a fat transfer breast augmentation, Dr. Rahban harvests fat from an area of the body with surplus fat that can be attractively sculpted as a part of the procedure. He then purifies the fat cells. These cells are injected into the breasts to give them a full and natural appearance.
For breast implant breast augmentation, you will choose the size, shape and texture of implants that most suit your aesthetic goals. Dr. Rahban will place these precisely and symmetrically in your breasts to create a shapely, feminine and attractive curve.
Tummy Tuck
During pregnancy, the abdominal wall and skin expand to accommodate a growing baby or babies. The abdominal muscles often stretch to a point where the belly becomes lax and round and the skin becomes loose, conditions very hard or impossible to correct with diet and exercise.
A tummy tuck will tighten the muscles and skin and provide a firm, smooth abdominal area. He will remove excess fat and skin, tighten the muscles with permanent sutures, and reshape the area to give an attractive, tight tummy and contoured waistline again.
Dr. Rahban’s Mommy Makeover Before & Afters
Why you want a Mommy Makeover:
You need some help to get back in shape. Let's face it: child bearing is probably the most difficult thing that any woman's body will have to go through. Your body balloons in weight, and your skin expands to cover the extra girth – a girth that after the baby arrives is just no longer there. Breast feeding a child can cause your breasts to inflate and then deflate, often leaving them flat or out of shape.
Whatever your issues, Dr. Rahban's mommy makeover procedure in Beverly Hills can leave you feeling restored, refreshed and looking your best. Liposuction after pregnancy can get rid of those last pockets of fat that were easy to add and impossible to make go away. A tummy tuck after pregnancy will remove all of the extra skin on the front of your abdomen, and leave you a smooth, lean exterior to match your reduced body mass. And a breast lift after pregnancy will restore your breasts to their pre-pregnancy shape.
Are You a Candidate for a Mommy Makeover:
The best candidates for a mommy makeover in Los Angeles are in good overall health and at a stable weight. A mommy makeover is a good choice for you if you want to enhance your figure after pregnancy and childbirth. Most women who seek a mommy makeover want to smooth and tighten their stomach area and augment or lift their breasts. Labiaplasty is also a common procedure in a mommy makeover. It is important that all candidates have realistic expectations for a mommy makeover, and Dr. Rahban will work with you to ensure you know what can and cannot be accomplished with surgery.

What Our Patients Say: Liz N.
"I went to Dr. Rahban for a tummy tuck, number one because I had a huge tattoo on my lower abdomen and didn't want to go through laser removal, and since I had just had my baby I said why not get a tummy tuck?
I did consult with another doctor beforehand and she could not even compare to Dr. Rahban. She was more all about the money and didn't care about me and my concerns. When I saw Dr. Rahban all he cared about was me and my concerns. He didn't push any treatment. He said I needed to make sure this was something I wanted to do, and he also told me not to worry about the tattoo because he would make sure all of it was gone.
I made my decision and went through with it and all I can say is it was the best decision I have made.
I am about a month and a half out and I love my stomach. I look like a teen again, lol. Dr. Rahban did such a great job! My scar is very thin and I'm sure in a couple months I won't even have one." - Liz N

Mommy Makeover FAQ
Are there any side effects or risks involving a mommy makeover?
Just like any surgery, mommy makeovers carry risks like bleeding, infection, tissue death (also called necrosis), and DVT. Remember that although these risks are serious, they are also rare. Additionally, mommy makeover risks can be reduced substantially by the techniques your surgeon uses, and their attention to detail.
One of the mommy makeover risks patients are most interested in is scars. Some mommy makeover procedures have long scars, such as a tummy tuck, while others have much less noticeable scars, like a breast augmentation. No matter what type of scar you’re asking about, Dr. Rahban says that about half of your scar’s appearance will depend on your biology, and the other half will depend on the methods used in closing your mommy makeover incisions. When Dr. Rahban performs a mommy makeover, he is fastidious with how he closes the patient’s incisions. Most surgeons have a surgical assistant close their mommy makeover incisions, but Dr. Rahban is unique in that he closes these incisions himself, using multiple layers of closure which takes more time but is essential in reducing how visible the scar is.
What is the recovery time after a mommy makeover?
While mommy makeovers can vary in the specific procedures and accordingly recovery time, the cornerstone of any mommy makeover is a tummy tuck. With a tummy tuck, it takes about two weeks before a patient can return to a sedentary job and resume light housework. At six weeks out from the operation, you can typically start increasing your activity level and most patients are back to their regular activities by 3 months. The more work that is done during a mommy makeover surgery in Los Angeles, the longer you can expect your initial recovery phase to be. You will not be able to lift during the initial phases of recovery, so it’s important to make sure you have help around the house while you heal.

Should I wait until I'm done having children before having a Mommy Makeover?
Though there is no physical reason you can’t have children after a mommy makeover, having a baby will likely affect your mommy makeover results. The body undergoes substantial changes during pregnancy. Your tummy tuck scar will likely stretch and the hormones of pregnancy and breastfeeding can alter breast augmentation or breast lift results. If you know you want to have more children in the near future, it is usually best to wait to have your mommy makeover. However, if you do get pregnant after a mommy makeover, this is in no way dangerous to your health or your baby’s health.

How much does a Mommy Makeover cost?
The cost of a mommy makeover will vary based on the procedures you have. While the procedures you choose are major factors in the cost, there are other very important factors to understand that cause price variation between surgeons. These other factors that affect the cost are: the quality of the operating facilities, training of the anesthesia provider, follow up visits, and more. One thing you don’t want to do is look for a surgeon who offers the lowest price at the sake of cutting corners in your care. If you find a surgeon that you truly think will be the best choice, but cannot afford that surgeon right now, then wait. If you wait while you save money to afford the surgeon that is truly best for you, this will potentially save you significant disappointment and/or money in the long run, especially if you need a future surgery to correct your lower cost one.
How much does a Mommy Makeover cost?
Can I have a Mommy Makeover even if I don't have children?
Yes, you can absolutely have a mommy makeover even if you’ve never had children. A mommy makeover is a combination of procedures that got the name because often times it is women who have had children that are looking for these particular combinations. There are plenty of other people who would also benefit from these procedures - for instance people who have lost a lot of weight. If you are hoping for enhancements to your breasts as well as tummy area, then a customized procedure that is commonly called a “mommy makeover” may be the best choice for you, regardless of whether you’ve had children.
How long does the procedure take?
Mommy makeovers typically take between 3-6 hours to complete, based on the type and number of procedures that make up your mommy makeover. Sometimes the surgeries are done in stages with time to heal between each one. However, it is preferable to have the surgeries done on one day when possible, so you can have dedicated time off work and caretaking during your one healing phase.
Are all procedures performed at one time?
A mommy makeover is fairly unique in that it involves several cosmetic procedures performed in a single visit. This is convenient for our patients because when you have several cosmetic procedures in a single session, you have only a single period of recovery. It is also cost-saving, since the combination of treatments can reduce overall surgery expenses including anesthesia and operating room costs.
