The term “Mommy Makeover” can be a source of confusion. It is not necessary to have been pregnant to benefit from a Mommy Makeover. A woman’s body changes for many reasons: weight loss or gain, aging, illness, and pregnancy. The Mommy Makeover is a procedure that combines several surgeries to help each patient reshape her body in a way that makes her feel better in her skin.
Pre-operative Instructions
- Do not smoke 6 weeks before your surgery.
- Do not consume alcohol one week before your surgery.
- Discontinue any aspirin or anti-inflammatory medications 15 days prior to your surgery.
- Discontinue birth control pills 20 days before your procedure.
- Breastfeeding should have stopped at least 3 to 6 months before breast surgery.
- Generally, a minimum of 6 weeks is required to recover from a vaginal delivery.
- Generally, a minimum of 8 weeks is required to recover from a cesarean delivery.
- If the delivery was difficult or if the mother experienced complications during labor or postpartum, it is advisable to wait longer before scheduling the Mommy Makeover.
Course of the Procedure
Since each patient is unique, every Mommy Makeover treatment in Tunisia is also more or less personalized. Surgeons performing this procedure, such as Dr. Balti, take the time to listen to each patient’s goals and assess undesirable imperfections in order to determine which surgeries to combine for the desired outcome.
The Mommy Makeover often combines several procedures from the following list:
Breast Augmentation, Breast Lift, Breast Reduction, Abdominoplasty, Liposuction.

Result
The breasts are lifted. If pregnancy and breastfeeding have caused a loss of volume, this can be addressed with breast implants. However, if the breasts are too large and causing problems, their size can be reduced. During the abdominoplasty, the abdominal muscles are tightened and reinforced to strengthen the torso and slim the waist. Finally, excess skin that has loosened and is often marked by stretch marks is removed.
