Your Private Consultation

Every patient’s journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Eisemann at our Houston office. There, you’ll discuss your aesthetic goals, concerns, and medical history, and he’ll assess your anatomy, muscle tone, skin quality, and fat distribution to determine if a Mommy Makeover is right for you. Together, you’ll decide on the procedures and treatment areas addressed during your surgery.

What to Expect From Your Mommy Makeover in Houston

Because Mommy Makeovers are so customizable, every patient’s experience will be different. These procedures generally take four to five hours, and you’ll rest in a private recovery suite at our QUAD A-accredited facility after surgery. We use an advanced IV sedation with nerve block to prevent pain and support a smoother recovery process.

During surgery, Dr. Eisemann will make strategic incisions along the natural curves of your body to access your tissues. Depending on your treatment plan, he’ll either remove excess tissue, tighten weakened muscles, or use liposuction to remove localized fat deposits. Your skin will be carefully redraped to create defined, smooth contours, and your incisions will be closed with small sutures to promote consistent healing.

Gentle, Patient-First Recovery

Recovery after a Mommy Makeover looks different for every woman. Most patients experience swelling, redness, soreness, and bruising along their treatment areas, which should resolve within two weeks. Depending on your exact combination of procedures, we may provide supportive wraps and compression garments to reduce swelling and support your healing tissues.

Most patients resume light activity, such as social gatherings, desk work, and gentle movement, within two weeks. You’ll need to avoid strenuous activities, including intense exercise, for up to eight weeks to allow yourself to recover. You may need at-home assistance with pet care and childcare for several weeks as you heal.

A Personalized Post-Op Process

After your procedure, our team will share a customized recovery plan that’s tailored to your unique needs and surgical combination. This plan may include the following items:

  • Incision site care and cleaning protocols
  • Supportive garment guidance
  • Hygiene recommendations
  • Sun protection and exposure requirements
  • Recovery clothing options
  • Activity limitations
  • Sleep position restrictions
  • Swelling and pain management strategies

Over the coming months, you’ll return to our Houston office for regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Eisemann. There, he’ll remove any remaining sutures, monitor your healing progress, and clear you to resume high-impact activities, such as running, pilates, and lifting your children.

Completing Your Transformation

Many women opt to extend their Mommy Makeover to their face as well, choosing from a variety of non-surgical and surgical treatments to achieve a full-body refresh.

Complementary procedures include the following:

  • Facelift
  • Neck liposuction
  • Rhinoplasty
  • Laser skin resurfacing
  • Dermal fillers
  • IPL Photofacial

During your consultation, Dr. Eisemann will advise you on which treatments are safe to combine and which would benefit more from a phased approach.

Frequently Asked Questions Mommy Makeover

Will I have extensive scarring?

Dr. Eisemann strategically places incisions in easily hidden locations, such as underneath the breast curve, below the bikini line, and inside the armpit, to minimize the visibility of scars in the long term. If you’re concerned about scarring, our team can provide scar care recommendations after you’ve fully healed.

Can a Mommy Makeover address stretch marks?

Yes. By removing excess skin from the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks, we can reduce some stretch marks and smooth your skin's surface. The procedure will not remove all stretch marks from your body.

How soon after delivery can I have a Mommy Makeover?

We recommend waiting at least six months after childbirth before considering a Mommy Makeover. You will also need to wait until you’ve finished nursing your baby to pursue surgery.

When will I be able to lift my child again?

Every patient’s healing process is different, but most can lift their children again within six to eight weeks after their Mommy Makeover. Your individual timeline will depend on the procedures performed during your treatment, as arm lifts, abdominoplasties, and breast surgeries may require additional time.
