Pregnancy and breastfeeding lead to physical changes that can affect body shape and self-confidence. Despite a healthy lifestyle, some women experience persistent abdominal laxity, skin sagging, or localized fat deposits. The Mommy Makeover addresses these changes to restore a harmonious figure tailored to each woman.
The Mommy Makeover is a comprehensive surgical procedure that combines several treatments to reshape the body after pregnancy. It may include breast surgery (augmentation, reduction, or lift), abdominoplasty, and sometimes liposuction. Tailored to the patient’s anatomy and expectations, this custom approach delivers a balanced, natural-looking result.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can lead to bodily changes that are often difficult to reverse with diet and exercise alone. The Mommy Makeover is a personalized procedure that targets the areas most affected. Here you’ll find all the essential information about this transformative surgery.
Pricing varies depending on the procedures involved: - From €9,500 for abdominoplasty + breast augmentation - Around €10,500 for abdominoplasty + breast augmentation + liposuction - Up to €13,800 incl. VAT for abdominoplasty + liposuction + breast augmentation + breast lift
After childbirth, the skin and muscles of the abdomen may become lax, and the breasts may lose volume or sag. A Mommy Makeover restores body harmony by addressing these areas.
It is recommended to wait at least 6 months after delivery and after breastfeeding has ended before undergoing a Mommy Makeover. This allows the body to stabilize and ensures optimal surgical results.
The goal is to improve body contour by treating the areas most affected by pregnancy. While surgery can yield spectacular results, it’s important to maintain realistic expectations and a healthy lifestyle.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically lasts between 4 to 6 hours depending on the procedures involved. It often includes a tummy tuck, breast surgery, and sometimes liposuction.
Discomfort is usually moderate to significant and managed with pain relief. A feeling of tightness in the abdomen or breasts may occur in the first few days.
Yes, a Mommy Makeover combines several procedures in one operation to minimize anesthesia exposure and recovery time. In rare cases, your surgeon may recommend performing the procedures in two stages.
Recovery typically takes 3 to 4 weeks before resuming regular activities. Intense physical activity and sports can usually be resumed after 12 weeks.

Light activities such as walking can be resumed after one week. However, it is recommended to wait at least 6 weeks before returning to intense physical activity.
It is advised to avoid lifting heavy objects, including young children, during the first few weeks to prevent disrupting the healing process.
Temporary numbness or reduced sensitivity may occur but usually improves over time.
Results become visible as swelling subsides, but the final appearance stabilizes over several months as tissues settle into their new contour.
Yes, post-operative monitoring is essential to ensure proper healing and track your progress. If liposculpture is included, lymphatic drainage massages are highly recommended.
The results are long-lasting but may be affected by significant weight fluctuations or future pregnancies. A healthy lifestyle will help maintain the benefits of the surgery.

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to correct sagging breasts by lifting and reshaping them for a firmer, more youthful appearance. Aging, pregnancy, and weight fluctuations can affect breast firmness over time. This procedure removes excess skin and repositions the areola to restore a more toned silhouette. It can be performed on its own or combined with breast augmentation and delivers long-lasting, natural results tailored to each patient.
Beauty
Breast augmentation with lipofilling is an innovative solution that enhances the bust using only your own fat. This technique combines liposuction and the transfer of purified fat cells to sculpt the breast volume naturally, without implants. The result is soft, natural-looking, and long-lasting, while also refining donor areas such as the abdomen or thighs. Ideal for women seeking a moderate and progressive enhancement, this procedure delivers a harmonious result with a discreet, durable effect.

Abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, is an aesthetic and reconstructive surgical procedure designed to tighten and reshape the abdominal area. This procedure is particularly recommended after significant weight loss or pregnancy, when the abdominal skin has become lax or there is an excess of tissue. By tightening sagging skin and correcting imperfections, it offers a firmer, more harmonious abdomen, while enhancing comfort and self-confidence.
Beauty
Liposculpture or lipostructure is a surgical procedure designed to refine and redefine the silhouette by eliminating localized fat deposits from different areas of the body such as the arms, abdomen, or thighs. This method aims to harmoniously sculpt body contours rather than simply remove fat. It is important to note that it is not a weight loss method and is intended for patients with stable weight who maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Beauty
Upper arm liposuction helps refine and reshape the contour of the upper body when stubborn fat persists despite a healthy lifestyle. This targeted procedure improves arm definition for a more balanced and natural appearance.
Beauty
Lower limb liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove localized fat deposits on the hips, thighs, knees, or calves. It helps reshape the legs, refine the silhouette, and enhance daily comfort.

These techniques can be performed on their own or together, depending on your specific needs.
Beauty
The cervicofacial facelift is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to correct sagging skin and tissue in the face and neck. As we age, the skin loses elasticity, wrinkles deepen, and the cheeks begin to droop, giving the face a tired, aged appearance. A facelift helps restore a naturally rejuvenated look by lifting and tightening the skin. It can also address deep wrinkles and marionette lines. For enhanced results, the procedure is often combined with complementary techniques such as lipofilling or laser treatments.
Beauty
Lipofilling is a surgical technique that involves reinjecting the patient's own fat to restore volume or improve skin quality. The fat is harvested from areas such as the abdomen or thighs, then purified before being precisely reinjected into the face, breasts, or buttocks. Unlike conventional fillers, it provides natural and long-lasting results. Depending on the refinement of the fat, the technique is referred to as microfilling or nanofilling for more targeted corrections.
Beauty
Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to rejuvenate the eyelids. It is recommended for patients who experience sagging upper eyelids, puffiness, or a tired appearance. The procedure involves removing excess skin or fat, or tightening loose skin around the eyelids, to restore a youthful and refreshed look to the eyes and upper face. In some cases, when excess skin impairs vision, blepharoplasty may be classified as functional rather than purely aesthetic. If so, INAMI reimbursement may apply following an ophthalmologic evaluation.
Beauty
Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure that corrects nasal imperfections. Small irregularities in the nose, located at the center of the face, can affect both quality of life and self-confidence. The procedure enhances psychological and physical well-being by addressing common concerns such as a dorsal hump or a tip irregularity. In some cases, rhinoplasty also restores proper nasal function. This is referred to as septoplasty, a procedure reimbursed by the INAMI in Belgium.
Beauty

Penoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance or correct anatomical anomalies of the male genital area. It may be performed for aesthetic purposes, such as penile lengthening or girth enhancement based on the patient’s individual goals, or for reconstructive reasons, including the correction of abnormalities such as penile curvature or underdevelopment. This procedure is often sought by men with anatomically normal dimensions who nevertheless experience psychological discomfort or dissatisfaction with their appearance. Performed by experienced surgeons, penoplasty employs tailored surgical techniques to achieve natural-looking, personalized results.
