Mommy Makeover in Los Alamitos, CA

Triple board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Mehrzad egularly works with women who wish to have their pre-pregnancy bodies back. Regaining self-confidence after pregnancy can be difficult. A woman’s body goes through an enormous amount of change during pregnancy –physically, emotionally, and hormonally. Mothers sometimes find it difficult to put themselves first and take the first step to regain their confidence. There is something important we tell all of our mommy makeover patients: a mother with a positive self-image benefits herself and the people around her, especially her family!

Patient success stories and transformations

Ideal candidates for a mommy makeover

Mommy makeovers are one of Dr. Mehrzad specialties with years of experience, he has helped hundreds of moms feel better about their bodies! All mothers deserve to feel and look beautiful, and our mommy makeover packages are customized to meet each patient’s unique needs.

What to expect from a Mommy Makeover

Once leaving our surgical center, you will begin to recover at home with rest and the post-operative instructions we supply. The recovery process is generally gradual. Moving around and walking straight will be difficult the first week or so, and a step-by-step, at-home healing protocol will be required to help the incisions heal properly. Most patients find the healing process can last around six months. While the primary recovery could take months, the majority of women are able to return to a somewhat normal routine within several weeks. Exercise should be avoided for around two months. In the end, the mommy makeover procedure at Ocean Plastic Surgery Center can be an amazing journey for women, allowing them to love the way they look and feel once again.

Frequently asked questions for a Mommy Makeover

Mommy makeover costs will vary, depending on which procedures are part of your surgical plan. During your consultation, Dr. Mehrzad will develop your treatment plan, and then he will be able to discuss possible costs. A mommy makeover is about rejuvenating your body after having children so it is best to concentrate on getting amazing results rather than shopping for the cheapest surgeon. Ocean Plastic Surgery Center takes several payment methods, and we can give you information on finding low-interest financing to make your mommy makeover affordable.

During your consultation with Dr. Mehrzad, he will listen to your wants and needs before performing a physical examination. Following this, he can give you suggestions on what to include in your treatment plan. Often, women want a breast surgery (an augmentation, lift, or both) together with a tummy tuck and liposuction.

Childbirth and pregnancy are hard on your body, which is why nonsurgical procedures usually aren't enough to produce significant improvements on their own. In your consultation, Dr. Mehrzad will go over both nonsurgical and surgical treatments. After listening to your concerns and goals, he will tell you if any nonsurgical procedures may be helpful.

Although a mommy makeover gives you a rejuvenated figure, it does leave surgical scars. Dr. Mehrzad will create clean, small incisions. Most scars will be placed so they can be hidden with swimsuits and underwear. When reviewing your post-surgical care instructions, Dr. Aiello or a member of his team will give you tips on scar care so your sutures will heal flat and eventually fade.

Ideally, you should hold off on getting a mommy makeover until your family is complete so your results aren't compromised. In most cases, all treated areas of your body are at risk of changing if you get pregnant again. Should you have another child after a mommy makeover, another surgery may be done to restore your results.

Mommy Makeover FAQs

Can I combine everything in one day?

Often yes within safe time limits; some plans are staged for safer recovery.

How soon after childbirth?

Generally 6–12 months after delivery and breastfeeding, with stable weight.

How do you keep results natural?

We plan for soft transitions, appropriate volumes, and incisions that respect natural lines so the outcome looks like you—refreshed and proportional.

What is your approach to pain and nausea control?

We use multimodal analgesia and anti‑emetics to keep you comfortable, reduce opioid needs, and help you mobilize early for faster recovery.

What if my weight changes later?

Moderate shifts won’t erase results, but large gains or losses can affect contour. We’ll discuss maintenance and timing that suit your goals.

Do you offer virtual consultations?

Yes—virtual consults are available for out‑of‑area patients from Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Newport Beach, and beyond, with in‑person measurements before surgery.

When are follow‑ups scheduled?

We typically see you within the first week, then at key milestones to guide healing, garment use, and scar care.
