SCHEDULE YOUR CONSULTATION or call (843) 755-6591A mommy makeover is a customized combination of surgical procedures designed to restore your body after pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight changes. Rather than a single standardized procedure, your mommy makeover is tailored to your specific goals and concerns.
The most common combination includes breast enhancement (augmentation, lift, or reduction), tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), and liposuction for body contouring. However, Dr. Clayton Crantford can modify this approach based on your individual needs, potentially adding thigh lifts, arm lifts, or labiaplasty. Many patients appreciate the ability to address multiple areas in a single procedure, reducing overall recovery time and achieving comprehensive results that help you feel like yourself again.
Ready to explore your mommy makeover options? Let’s discuss which procedures are right for your goals.
REQUEST A CONSULTATIONCustomize your procedure combination to address your unique needs and aesthetic goals.
Remove excess abdominal skin and fat, and tighten separated abdominal muscles caused by pregnancy. A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) creates a flatter, tighter midsection and is often the centerpiece of a mommy makeover.
Contour your body by removing stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Liposuction addresses areas like flanks, back, thighs, and arms, creating a more sculpted overall appearance.
Depending on your goals, we can add labiaplasty for intimate rejuvenation, thigh lift or arm lift for additional body contouring. Your procedure is designed entirely around your needs.
A Mommy Makeover combines multiple procedures in a single session, which makes thoughtful recovery planning even more important. Our Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols were built specifically for this — minimizing pain, opioid use, and downtime so you can get back to your family.
Long-acting Exparel nerve blocks combined with non-opioid analgesics control pain at every surgical site for up to 72 hours — critical for combined procedures where pain management spans multiple areas of the body at once.
Patients stand and take short walks within hours of surgery. After a longer combined procedure, early movement is especially important for circulation, clot prevention, and triggering the body’s natural healing response.
We guide every patient through a pre-surgical optimization plan — hydration, carbohydrate loading, and targeted supplementation — tailored to the metabolic demands of combined surgery and shown to reduce nausea and accelerate healing.
ERAS protocols are supported by decades of published research in major surgery. We adapt these principles specifically for combined aesthetic procedures — the result is a recovery that is measurably faster, safer, and more comfortable than traditional approaches.
Combined procedures are performed safely with proper surgical planning and anesthesia oversight.
Crantford Costa Plastic Surgery + Skin Clinic is accredited by Joint Commission, ensuring the highest standards of surgical care, safety protocols, and facility standards.
Board-certified anesthesiologists oversee all procedures, monitoring vital signs and ensuring your comfort and safety throughout the extended surgical time of a mommy makeover.
Dr. Crantford specializes in multi-procedure body contouring, understanding how to sequence and combine surgeries safely for optimal results and faster overall recovery.
Our Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program includes optimized pain management, nutrition, mobility, and follow-up care to help you heal faster and more comfortably.
From consultation to recovery, here’s what to expect with your personalized mommy makeover.
Dr. Crantford listens to your goals and concerns, examines you, discusses options, and designs your ideal combination of procedures tailored to your body and preferences.
All procedures are performed in a single session under general anesthesia, with careful sequencing to optimize results. Surgery typically takes 4 to 6 hours depending on the extent of your customized plan.
With our ERAS protocol, you’ll receive clear post-operative guidelines, regular follow-up appointments, and support to manage discomfort while healing. Most patients resume light activity within 2 to 4 weeks.
Combined procedures require a longer recovery period than single procedures, but comprehensive results are worth the investment.
Rest at home, pain management as directed, compression garment wear, minimal activity, wound care. You may feel fatigued but this is normal. Focus on hydration and following post-op instructions carefully.
Light walking encouraged, can resume some daily activities, reduced swelling, continued compression wear. You may feel stronger and experience less discomfort. Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity.
Can usually resume normal activities, light exercise, regular clothing. Final results continue to improve as swelling decreases over the next 3 to 6 months. Most patients feel back to themselves by 4 to 6 weeks.
Cost varies based on your customized procedure combination and surgical complexity.
Procedure Selection — The combination of procedures (breast, tummy tuck, lipo) affects total cost.
Surgical Complexity — Extent of tissue removal, repositioning, and contouring impacts surgical time and cost.
Anesthesia & Facility — Operating room time, anesthesia, facility fees, and support staff are included in your total investment.
Post-Operative Care — Follow-up visits, compression garments, and ERAS protocol support are included.
