The Mommy Makeover is a plastic surgery procedure designed for women who wish to restore their post-pregnancy appearance. At Dr. Alexandre Charão’s clinic in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the demand for this transformative procedure has grown significantly, offering women the chance to feel rejuvenated and confident.
What Changes Occur After Pregnancy?
Motherhood brings an abundance of joy and new emotions for your family. However, it also causes unwanted physical changes to your body, including sagging skin, stretch marks, stubborn fat deposits, and enlarged breasts. Diet and intense exercise alone may not be enough to address these concerns.
The Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of aesthetic surgery procedures designed to restore, reshape, and contour areas affected by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding.
What Issues Can a Mommy Makeover Address?
Here are some common concerns that the Mommy Makeover can resolve:
- Correct sagging and restore breast volume
- Improve breast symmetry
- Repair stretched or enlarged nipples/areolas
- Remove excess sagging abdominal skin
- Repair stretched or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
- Reduce stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise
- Enhance the fit of clothing and swimwear
- Add volume and firmness to the buttocks
What Does a Mommy Makeover Include?
A Mommy Makeover is a term for a tailored set of cosmetic procedures designed to help women address common effects of pregnancy and aging on the breasts and abdomen, restoring their pre-pregnancy appearance.
The procedures may include:
- Breast lift (with or without implants)
- Mini tummy tuck
- Full tummy tuck
- MILA (scarless tummy tuck)
- Ultrasonic liposuction with Argoplasma
- Buttock reshaping (augmentation and projection)
Additional enhancements, such as cellulite reduction, saddlebag removal, arm slimming, and thigh contouring, can also be performed.
Addressing Post-Pregnancy Concerns
After pregnancy, many women report dissatisfaction with their post-baby body, including stretch marks, sagging skin, drooping breasts, separated abdominal muscles, stubborn fat deposits, and cellulite. Often, even after returning to pre-pregnancy weight, these changes persist despite diet and exercise.
Does this sound familiar?
Breast Lift (With or Without Implants)
Breast lift surgery is one of the key options in the Mommy Makeover, helping women restore the shape and firmness of their breasts after breastfeeding. This procedure not only enhances the aesthetics of sagging breasts but also boosts confidence, allowing women to feel comfortable in bikinis or low-cut tops.
It restores breast volume, position, and firmness, creating positive changes in both appearance and self-image. Many of our patients embrace a renewed sense of confidence, returning to their favorite activities and styles.
Quick Recovery Breast Augmentation
For women experiencing breast volume loss without sagging, breast augmentation with silicone implants or fat transfer is an excellent solution.
With this technique, patients can raise their arms on the same day (yes, it’s true—check out our videos for proof!). During your consultation, we’ll discuss implant types (round or anatomical), sizes, projections, and brands.
We often use an internal bra and muscle strap technique to enhance cleavage and ensure long-lasting, stable results.
Advanced Tummy Tuck
The tummy tuck procedure addresses abdominal sagging and excess skin while correcting muscle separation.
To maximize results, we combine the procedure with ultrasonic liposuction on the same day. This removes fat around the breasts (to eliminate “bra bulges”) and the sides of the abdomen, creating a curvier silhouette and improving hip proportions.
Ultrasonic Liposuction with Skin Retraction (Scar-Free)
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction is a powerful tool in the Mommy Makeover, removing stubborn fat deposits that persist despite diet and exercise.
This method offers faster recovery compared to traditional liposuction.
Whenever possible, we use skin-tightening technologies (such as Renuvion, Argoplasma, or BodyTite) to combat sagging without requiring cuts or leaving scars.
Buttock Enhancement and Firmness
Our signature technique combines your own fat with skin-tightening technology and individualized cellulite correction to create rounder, firmer, and more projected buttocks.
Silicone implants are not necessary (unless preferred by the patient). The fat removed during liposuction is treated to prevent absorption, ensuring long-lasting results.
Argoplasma technology further firms the buttocks, enhancing the results of a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).
Confidence or Self-Esteem?
The Mommy Makeover allows women to regain not only their physical appearance but also their emotional well-being and self-confidence. Real testimonials highlight the life-changing impact of this transformation.

In Summary
Regaining your pre-baby body after pregnancy and childbirth is a shared challenge for many women. Even after achieving a healthy weight, some areas may not return to their original shape despite diet and exercise. That’s when the Mommy Makeover becomes the ideal solution.
