You value the experience of motherhood: the excitement of pregnancy, bonding with your children, seeing your family grow. What you just might miss, though: your pre-baby body. You remember your slimmer stomach, thinner thighs, and contoured waistline all too well. If your goal is a more sculpted and youthful silhouette, our skilled plastic surgeons can help you get there with a Mommy Makeover at our Shreveport, Louisiana, practice.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

The physical demands of pregnancy take a toll on multiple areas of your body. Excess, wrinkled abdominal skin that hangs over your waist, a belly pooch caused by diastasis recti, and deflated, sagging breasts are the most common physical reminders of pregnancy and breastfeeding. Many women also find that they can’t get rid of stubborn pockets of fat in other areas of the body, such as the thighs, buttocks, and lower back. Patients also express concerns about vaginal looseness and the appearance of skin conditions related to the hormonal changes of pregnancy.

The Wall Center Mommy Makeover Difference

Our plastic surgeons take a specialized approach to Mommy Makeover surgery that you won’t find at other practices.

Expertise: Our surgeons are recognized worldwide for advancing the art and science of breast enhancement and body contouring. They train other surgeons, publish research, and speak at international meetings, while remaining deeply connected to their Shreveport community and committed to delivering exceptional results for every patient.
Female perspective: Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Holly Casey Wall focuses her practice exclusively on cosmetic surgery of the breast and body, performing hundreds of procedures each year. Her first-hand experience as a wife and busy mom brings a unique perspective and connection that her patients cherish.
Safety at every step: Our on-site, accredited surgical center features state-of-the-art equipment, advanced anesthesia options, and an experienced support staff dedicated to your comfort and well-being. If you travel here or desire extra care after surgery, you can relax and recover in complete privacy under the care of a nurse at our on-site recovery suites.

To adhere to strict safety standards and achieve their exquisite signature results, our surgeons typically recommend that patients have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or lower to undergo a Mommy Makeover.

Our 360° Approach to Mommy Makeovers

Our Mommy Makeovers take a 360-degree approach to cosmetic enhancement, considering the entire female silhouette to renew the breasts, abdomen, and surrounding areas for harmony and proportion. Instead of focusing on isolated improvements, like a flatter stomach or lifted breasts, our surgeons evaluate how each procedure complements the next, creating cohesive results that are authentically you.

Benefits of These Combined Procedures

Our plastic surgeons have extensive experience combining plastic surgery procedures and are gratified by helping women achieve cosmetic goals unattainable through diet and exercise alone. Benefits to you include:

Comprehensive results – You’ll experience a more dramatic transformation by improving multiple areas with one surgery.
Improved comfort and convenience – By condensing all your healing into a single period, you’ll experience less overall discomfort and downtime.
Financial savings – You’ll pay surgical facility and anesthesia fees only once, resulting in significant cost savings.

Because patient safety is always the priority, our surgeons will recommend scheduling separate surgeries if a combination is likely to take too long to complete.

“Every insecurity I had was addressed with my surgery.

Dr. Holly was so wonderful in walking me through everything and answering all my questions. I now have the stomach I always wanted, and my breasts no longer embarrass me!”

What Does a Mommy Makeover Consist Of?

While every Mommy Makeover is unique, most are designed to renew areas affected by pregnancy, breastfeeding, and delivery, and include a combination of the following procedures:

Tummy Tuck

Our approach to tummy tuck surgery is far from standard. Like most surgeons, we tighten lax skin, repair the abdominal muscles, and reshape the belly button. We go beyond the norm by contouring and shaping the back, waist, hips, buttocks, and thighs together, all the way around the body. The result is a sleek, naturally feminine silhouette.

Liposuction With SAFELipo®

Whether performing liposuction with a tummy tuck or for fat removal on its own, our surgeons enhance it with SAFELipo. Dr. Simeon Wall Jr. developed this technique to remove excess fat from the tummy, hips, thighs, armpits near the breast, and other trouble spots without the contour deformities seen with traditional liposuction. Our surgeons use SAFELipo to put the finishing touches on most other procedures.

Breast Augmentation

Many women lose breast volume after pregnancy and breastfeeding, and many have always had naturally small breasts, making breast augmentation a Mommy Makeover favorite. Dr. Wall Jr. developed an innovative modified dual-plane breast augmentation technique that other practices don’t offer. The beauty of his technique is sleek chest-breast harmony, increased upper pole fullness (no pushup bra needed), and consistently centered implants for beautiful cleavage.

Short-Scar Breast Lift With Implants

While breast implants alone can be enough in some cases, many moms require a lift as well to correct sagging and elevate the breasts. Our surgeons specialize in a unique footprint-elevating, short-scar breast lift with implants that enhances upper pole fullness and cleavage for a naturally beautiful shape.

Nonsurgical Mommy Makeover Options

Mommy Makeovers are personalized, so they don’t have to be surgical. We offer a diverse menu of nonsurgical options that can renew your appearance, including:

Facial rejuvenation is quick and easy with injectables, such as BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal fillers, MOXI® laser skin rejuvenation, microneedling, and others.
CoolSculpting® non-invasive fat reduction can reduce a double chin, saddlebags on the thighs, belly fat, and much more.
ThermiVa® tightens and rejuvenates the inner and outer labia, as well as the vaginal canal.

We can create a treatment plan to refresh your overall look or complement your surgical results within your available recovery time.

Mommy Makeover Recovery

Plan to be away from work and your normal daily activities for at least 2 weeks if your procedure includes a tummy tuck (it requires the most recovery time). In about 4 to 6 weeks, most Mommy Makeover patients feel like themselves again and are ready to resume exercise.

General Recovery Timeline

Day of surgery: Return home in the care of an adult.

Day 2: Remove your surgical garments (with help) and shower if you feel up to it.

Day 3: Swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the incision sites peak.

Days 3 to 5: EXPAREL wears off. Drains removed.

2 to 3 weeks: Ready to resume a desk job and gentle exercise. Easier to stand up straight.

4 weeks: Wearing your compression garment is no longer required.

5 to 6 weeks: Resume lifting heavier things and vigorous exercise.

6 to 12 months: Scars flatten and fade.

See our Guide to Mommy Makeover Recovery for more information. Our surgeons provide detailed post-op instructions to minimize discomfort and enhance healing.

What Do I Need for Mommy Makeover Recovery?

Help yourself by asking a reliable adult friend or family member to stay with you for the first few days to drive and help with meals, kids, pets, laundry, and hygiene.
Anticipate your medical needs by picking up prescriptions, stool softeners, and post-surgical garments in advance.
Ease your worries by electing to spend the night of surgery in our on-site guest suite under the care of a nurse.
Set up your space at home with a comfortable place to sit and sleep (recliners are great). Place a side table nearby for drinks to keep you hydrated, your cell phone and charger, remotes, and anything else you may need to rest.
Plan your wardrobe by ensuring you have button-front tops and elastic-waist bottoms that make clothing changes easier.

Mommy Makeover FAQ

How much weight does a Mommy Makeover take off?: It’s important to understand that a Mommy Makeover isn’t designed to help you lose weight. You should be at or near your goal weight when you undergo surgery. The procedure can slim your waist, abdomen, hips, back, and thighs, as well as enhance your breast and buttock contours. Although you may not see a dramatic difference on the scale, you will see it in the mirror and feel it in the way your clothes fit.
Is Mommy Makeover surgery worth it?: Most Mommy Makeover patients report being extremely happy with their results, many expressing that they wish they had done it sooner. According to RealSelf.com’s 2020 Most Worth It Ratings, 97% of patients said their Mommy Makeover was worth it.
Should I lose weight before a Mommy Makeover?: Surgeons usually want patients to be at a BMI of 30 or lower to undergo a Mommy Makeover. You can use our BMI calculator on this page to determine whether or not you need to lose weight to reduce your BMI.
What happens if I get pregnant after my Mommy Makeover?: If you get pregnant after a Mommy Makeover, the only additional risk is that you may reverse some of the benefits of your surgery. Your abdominal skin will stretch again, and your breasts will undergo the changes that come with pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Will I be able to take care of myself after a Mommy Makeover, or will I need help?: You will need a friend or loved one to drive you home and, ideally, spend the night with you after your procedure. You will also need help around the house for at least the first day—or longer if you have children or pets that need care. You won’t be able to reach, lift, bend, or stoop for a week or 2. Your priority should be resting and healing.
What do I need to prepare before my Mommy Makeover procedure?: We advise people to pick up their prescriptions and post-surgical garments, and stock up on nutritious, easy-to-prepare food. It’s also a good idea to set up your recovery area, whether that’s your bed or a comfy recliner. Be sure to have necessities such as remotes, phone chargers, and reading materials close at hand. If at all possible, arrange to have someone at home with you for at least the first few days.
