Enhance, Restore and Renew With a Mommy Makeover
Learn About Mommy Makeover Surgery, Candidacy, Recovery and Preparation From Dr. Tyler Frew at Balikian Plastic Surgery
Motherhood brings joy, pride, and unforgettable moments. But it can also leave lasting changes to your body that diet and exercise alone can’t fully address.
At Balikian Plastic Surgery in the Temecula Valley, Dr. Tyler Frew specializes in Mommy Makeovers that restore your shape, enhance your confidence and help you feel like yourself again.
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is not a one-size-fits-all procedure. Every woman’s body changes differently after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding, which is why Dr. Tyler Frew takes the time to understand your individual goals.
Instead of following a set formula, he creates a personalized surgical plan that targets the areas most affected, such as lifting and reshaping the breasts, tightening abdominal muscles, or contouring stubborn fat deposits.
This tailored approach ensures that your results look balanced, natural, and uniquely yours.
Commonly Combined Procedures for a Mommy Makeover
- Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) – Tightens abdominal muscles and removes stretched or loose skin for a smooth, toned look.
- Breast Lift and/or Augmentation – Restores fullness, shape, and symmetry; implants can be added for volume enhancement.
- Liposuction 360° – Removes stubborn fat from the waistline, back, and flanks for balanced contouring.
- Optional Enhancements – Labiaplasty, arm contouring, or other targeted procedures depending on your goals.
Every Mommy Makeover performed by Dr. Frew is custom-tailored to your body, your lifestyle, and your vision for your results.
Ideal Candidates for a Mommy Makeover
You may be a great candidate for a Mommy Makeover if you:
- Are at or near your goal weight
- Are in overall good health
- Have completed childbearing (future pregnancies can alter results)
- Want to address loose skin, breast changes, or stubborn fat
- Have realistic expectations about recovery and outcomes
A consultation with Dr. Tyler Frew at Balikian Plastic Surgery will help determine if a Mommy Makeover is the right path to restoring your body and confidence.
Mommy Makeover Transformations
Recovery With Dr. Frew’s Enhanced Approach
Recovery is a vital part of your Mommy Makeover journey, and Dr. Frew’s enhanced approach is designed to help you heal faster, safer, and with greater comfort.
Most Mommy Makeover patients can expect:
- Light activity within 1–2 weeks
- Return to work in 2–4 weeks (depending on job demands)
- Avoiding heavy lifting for 6 weeks
At Balikian Plastic Surgery, we incorporate an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol to make your recovery smoother and more comfortable. This modern approach reduces discomfort, limits the need for narcotics, and helps you return to normal life more quickly.
Advanced Photobiomodulation Recovery Support
As one of the few practices to offer advanced light-based therapy after surgery, we use this innovative treatment to speed healing, minimize swelling, and encourage natural skin tightening.
By stimulating your body’s own cellular repair, light therapy not only makes recovery more comfortable but also enhances the quality of your final results.
This added layer of care sets your Mommy Makeover experience at Balikian Plastic Surgery apart, giving you access to a recovery protocol that goes beyond the standard approach.
Preparing for Your Mommy Makeover
Preparing for your Mommy Makeover is just as important as the surgery itself, setting the stage for a smooth experience and a comfortable recovery.
- Book Your Consultation – Meet with Dr. Frew to discuss your goals, review your health history, and design a surgical plan tailored to you.
- Plan for Recovery – Arrange childcare, household help, and time off work so you can focus fully on healing without added stress.
- Prioritize Your Health – Eat a balanced, nutrient-rich diet, stay well hydrated, and avoid smoking or alcohol to optimize your body’s ability to heal.
- Prepare Your Recovery Space – Set up a comfortable area at home with essentials like pillows, medications, healthy snacks, and entertainment within easy reach.
By taking these steps in advance, you’ll give yourself the best opportunity to heal well, enjoy your results, and return to daily life with confidence.
