Mommy Makeover in Albany NY
Mommy Makeover Overview
Restore Breast And Body Shape With A Plan Built Around Your Anatomy.
A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of breast and body procedures designed to restore shape, proportion, and confidence after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight change, or aging.
A plan can pair a breast procedure with liposuction or a tummy tuck based on the amount of fat, loose skin, and abdominal-wall weakness.

Your Options
Choose the breast and abdominal procedures separately.
A Mommy Makeover is tailored to your anatomy and goals. Dr. David Tauber considers which components can reasonably be combined and when staging them is the better plan.
1. Abdominal and waist contouring
Lipo 360 addresses localized fat when skin removal or muscle repair is not needed. A tummy tuck without muscle repair adds skin removal when laxity is present. When abdominal-wall weakness or separation contributes to bulging, a tummy tuck with muscle repair adds plication. Mini, full, and extended describe how far skin removal reaches.
2. Breast volume and position
Breast augmentation adds volume. A breast lift raises and reshapes tissue and nipple position. Breast reduction makes the breasts smaller and lighter while reshaping them. A lift with implants can address both volume loss and low position.
Not every patient needs every component, and some do not need abdominal surgery.
Typical Total Investment
Compare the exact breast and abdominal combination.
“Mommy Makeover” is not one generic operation. These estimated total patient costs include shaping liposuction, with standard implants included for implant procedures.
| Abdominal option | Breast augmentation | Breast lift | Lift with implants | Breast reduction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mini tummy tuck | $7,910–$12,790+ | $11,190–$17,450+ | $14,360–$20,630+ | $14,300–$20,580+ |
| Tummy tuck without muscle repair | $12,790–$19,050+ | $15,870–$23,680+ | $19,050–$26,830+ | $19,030–$26,780+ |
| Tummy tuck with muscle repair | $14,360–$20,630+ | $17,450–$25,230+ | $20,630–$28,380+ | $20,580–$28,330+ |

These are planning ranges, not binding quotes. Mini, tummy tuck without muscle repair, and tummy tuck with muscle repair estimates include shaping liposuction. Tummy tuck with muscle repair also includes abdominal-wall plication. Your written estimate controls and may change with anatomy, surgical extent, implant selection, devices, supplies, or staging.

Recovery Timeline
What to expect after a Mommy Makeover.
Recovery depends on the procedures included, particularly whether abdominal-wall plication is needed. Combining breast and abdominal surgery can increase the need for help at home.
Many patients return to light activity or desk work, depending on comfort and the procedures performed.
Moderate exercise may resume gradually when healing is progressing appropriately and your surgeon clears you.
Most patients can return to full activity and heavy lifting once cleared by their surgeon.
Swelling continues to improve and scars mature gradually over time.
Candidacy And Tradeoffs
When a Mommy Makeover may not be the right choice.
Timing and safety: Near-term pregnancy plans, recent breastfeeding, active nicotine use, unstable weight, or medical issues may make elective combined surgery less suitable.
Recovery and scope: Combining procedures can mean several scars, a longer recovery, activity restrictions, possible drains, implant considerations, and a need for help at home. For some patients, staging procedures or addressing one concern first makes more sense.
If the concerns are mild or your goals can be met with a smaller operation, the added extent of a full Mommy Makeover may not be worthwhile. Your consultation should weigh the expected improvement against these tradeoffs.

Risk Transparency
What can go wrong — and how we plan for it.
Every surgery carries risk, especially when multiple procedures are combined. The goal is to reduce risk through careful patient selection, appropriate procedure planning, reasonable operative time, anesthesia planning, and close postoperative follow-up.
- Healing issues: Incision care, activity restrictions, and follow-up visits help monitor early healing.
- Fluid collection: Drains, compression, and follow-up may be used when appropriate.
- Scarring: Incisions are planned strategically, but scar quality depends on biology, tension, and aftercare.
- Asymmetry or contour irregularity: Some unevenness can occur as swelling settles and tissues heal.
