MOMMY MAKEOVER
WHAT IS A TUMMY TUCK (ABDOMINOPLASTY)?
A Tummy Tuck is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles. It is ideal for individuals who have loose or sagging skin, separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), or stubborn belly fat that persists even after weight loss or pregnancy. Dr. Hardik’s technique combines precision with aesthetics flattening the abdomen, refining the waistline, and enhancing posture for long-term comfort and confidence.

HOW THE PROCEDURE IS PERFORMED
Step 1: Marking & Planning
Surgical markings are made with you standing to map skin removal, lift vectors, and contour lines. General anesthesia is administered.
Step 2: Breast Rejuvenation
Depending on your goals, one or more breast procedures are performed:
- Breast Lift to restore shape
- Breast Augmentation for volume
- Breast Lift + Implants for optimal enhancement
- Breast Reduction (if required)
Step 3: Abdominal Muscle Tightening
Separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) are repaired to strengthen the core and flatten the midsection.
Step 4: Skin & Fat Removal (Tummy Tuck)
Excess skin and fat are removed from the lower abdomen, with VASER liposuction often added for fine contouring.
Step 5: Liposuction & Sculpting
Liposuction targets the flanks, waist, back, hips, and thighs for a refined hourglass silhouette.
Step 6: Skin Re-draping & Finishing
The skin is re-draped for smooth, natural contours. Incisions are closed with fine sutures to minimize scarring.
Step 5: Compression & Recovery Support
A compression garment is applied to maintain shape and reduce swelling.

- Have sagging or deflated breasts
- Experience abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti)
- Have stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise
- Maintain stable weight and good overall health
A consultation with Dr. Hardik will determine the safest and most effective plan for you.
3. How long after pregnancy or breastfeeding can I have a Mommy Makeover?
Most women can undergo a Mommy Makeover:
- 6 months after delivery, if not breastfeeding
- 3–6 months after stopping breastfeeding, to ensure breast size and hormones stabilize
The body must be fully recovered before surgery for optimal, long-lasting results.
4. Is it safe to combine multiple procedures in one surgery?
Yes — when performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Hardik, combining procedures is safe and has several benefits:
- Single anesthesia session
- Combined recovery period
- Harmonized body contouring
- More dramatic transformation
However, safety remains the priority, and your surgical plan will be created based on your health profile.
5. Will I be able to have children again after a Mommy Makeover?
Mommy Makeover does not affect your ability to become pregnant. However, future pregnancies may stretch the muscles and skin again, impacting the results. For best outcomes, this surgery is recommended after completing your family.
6. How long is the recovery period?
Recovery depends on the combination of procedures, but generally:
- 1 week: Light walking, back to desk work
- 2–3 weeks: Moderate daily activity
- 4–6 weeks: Resume non-strenuous workouts
- 3–6 months: Final contour becomes visible
Dr. Hardik provides a customized recovery plan to ensure safe and smooth healing.
7. Will I have scars after a Mommy Makeover?
Yes, but scars are placed strategically and fade significantly over time.
Common locations include:
- Around the areola or breast crease (breast lift/augmentation)
- Low bikini line (tummy tuck)
With proper scar care, silicone therapy, and laser options, scars become discreet and barely noticeable.
8. Is a Mommy Makeover painful?
Most patients describe the discomfort as manageable, especially with modern anesthesia and post-operative pain protocols.
You will receive:
- Pain management medications
- Muscle relaxants
- Lymphatic drainage support
Most mothers resume normal movement within a few days.
9. When will I see the final results?
You’ll see visible improvement immediately, but the final results typically appear by:
- 6 weeks: Major swelling reduces
- 3 months: Contours become defined
- 6 months: Final, sculpted shape is visible
The results are long-lasting with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
10. Are the results permanent?
Yes — the improvements are long-lasting. However, maintaining results depends on:
- Stable weight
- Healthy diet and exercise
- Avoiding future pregnancies
Fat removal and muscle repair are permanent unless reversed by weight gain or pregnancy.
11. What is the cost of a Mommy Makeover in Dubai?
Costs vary based on:
- Procedures combined
- Operating time
- Hospital selection
- Implants (if included)
- Complexity of your case
A detailed quotation is provided after your consultation and customized treatment plan.
12. Will I need to stay overnight at the hospital?
Yes. Most Mommy Makeover patients stay 1–2 nights for comfortable, safe monitoring.
This ensures pain control, mobility guidance, and early recovery support before discharge.
13. How soon can I care for my children after surgery?
Light caregiving is possible after a few days, but:
- Avoid lifting children for 4–6 weeks
- Support at home is essential during the first week
- Gentle movement is encouraged, but no strain
Dr. Hardik prioritizes safety and provides clear guidelines tailored to your routine.
14. Will liposuction be included in my Mommy Makeover?
In most cases, yes. Liposuction enhances contouring around the:
- Waist
- Abdomen
- Back
- Flanks
- Thighs
It significantly improves the final silhouette and is commonly used along with tummy tuck and breast procedures.
15. How do I prepare for my Mommy Makeover?
Preparation may include:
- Blood tests
- ECG (if needed)
- Avoiding smoking 4–6 weeks prior
- Stopping certain medications
- Arranging home support
- Maintaining stable weight
You will receive a personalized pre-operative checklist.
16. Can I choose not to undergo all Mommy Makeover procedures at once?
Absolutely. A Mommy Makeover is fully customizable, and you can choose to perform procedures in stages if that aligns better with your comfort, health, or recovery preferences. Some patients opt for a two-stage approach when combining larger procedures.
Dr. Hardik will recommend the safest sequencing based on your goals and anatomy.
17. How safe is a Mommy Makeover for women above 40?
Age alone is not a limiting factor. Women in their 40s and even early 50s can safely undergo a Mommy Makeover provided they are in good overall health. Pre-operative medical evaluation ensures
- Cardiac health
- Anesthesia fitness
Optimized recovery support
With modern surgical techniques and careful monitoring, outcomes are safe and successful.
18. Will a Mommy Makeover help with stretch marks?
Yes — particularly if the stretch marks are located below the navel. A tummy tuck removes the lower abdominal skin entirely, which often eliminates many stretch marks in that area. Remaining stretch marks may fade over time with skin tightening, scar therapy, and medical-grade skincare.
19. Can I breastfeed after a Mommy Makeover?
If your Mommy Makeover includes:
- Tummy Tuck: breastfeeding is unaffected.
- Breast Lift / Augmentation: breastfeeding may still be possible, but it depends on the technique used and individual anatomy.
However, the procedure is ideally performed after completing breastfeeding, so your results remain stable.
20. How long should I take off work after a Mommy Makeover?
This depends on the procedures you undergo and the nature of your job:
- Desk job: 10–14 days
- Moderately active job: 2–4 weeks
- Physically demanding job: 6 weeks or more
Most mothers comfortably manage everyday activities after the first week with proper support at home.
