Consultant Plastic Surgeon, Bengaluru. 22+ years in practice.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding change the body in ways diet and exercise cannot always address. A Mommy Makeover combines a small number of surgical procedures into one planned treatment and one recovery period, tailored at consultation by Dr. Rajendra S. Gujjalanavar.
Dr. Rajendra S. Gujjalanavar is a Consultant Plastic Surgeon practising in Bengaluru, with a background spanning aesthetic surgery, breast surgery, body contouring, craniofacial surgery and supermicrosurgery. Mommy Makeover surgery is planned personally by him, and every combination of procedures is decided with safety and recovery in mind rather than volume.
Three clear stages, so there are no surprises at any point in the process.
An unhurried, private discussion of your goals. Dr. Rajendra examines you, explains what is realistic, and recommends a combination of procedures suited to your anatomy and your recovery capacity.
Surgery is performed in an accredited facility under appropriate anaesthesia, with the agreed procedures carried out in a single planned session where it is safe to do so.
Written aftercare instructions and scheduled follow-up visits. Results are often visible early, and continue to improve over the following weeks as swelling settles.
Motherhood brings physical changes that are entirely normal, and for many women some of those changes do not reverse on their own. A Mommy Makeover is a combined surgical approach that addresses several of them together, in one plan and one recovery.
No two post-pregnancy bodies are the same. The combination of procedures is decided at consultation based on examination, your goals and your priorities.
Combining too much in one sitting increases risk. Dr. Rajendra generally advises limiting a Mommy Makeover to two or three procedures, which supports patient safety and a smoother healing process.
Written aftercare, scheduled reviews and a direct line to the clinic. Most patients can expect up to around two weeks before returning to normal activities.
Your consultation, your surgical plan and your follow-up are handled by the operating surgeon, not delegated to a coordinator.
Photographs are shared with written patient consent. They are shown to illustrate the kind of change surgery can achieve, not to predict your outcome.
A Mommy Makeover addresses several areas at a time. These are the areas most commonly discussed at consultation, along with the surgical options that may be considered for each.
Many women notice a loss of volume, stretching or heaviness in the breasts after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Loose or hanging skin across the abdomen, a caesarean scar and stretch marks are among the most common concerns raised.
Loose or heavier upper arms that do not respond to training are frequently raised in post-pregnancy consultations.
Fullness across the flanks and the area around the bra line is a common contour concern after pregnancy.
Changes in shape or volume, including hip dips, can affect overall proportion and the way clothing fits.
Fat distribution around the thighs can shift after pregnancy and often resists diet and exercise.
Surgery is not the right answer for everyone, and candidacy can only be established in person. Here is how Dr. Rajendra approaches that decision.
A Mommy Makeover is not a weight loss procedure and is not a substitute for diet or exercise. It addresses skin laxity and contour that remain after weight has stabilised.
It is generally advisable to limit the number of procedures performed at one time to two or three. This supports patient safety and a smoother healing process, and it is why Dr. Rajendra may recommend staging surgery rather than combining everything at once.
Results are often appreciated early, with further improvement over the following weeks as swelling subsides. This is in-depth surgery, and it can take up to around two weeks before normal activities are resumed.
All surgery carries risk, including risks related to anaesthesia, bleeding, infection, scarring and the possibility of revision. These are explained fully at your consultation before any decision is made.

A Mommy Makeover is a combination of different procedures designed to restore the look of a woman’s body to its pre-pregnancy state. The procedures commonly combined include a tummy tuck, breast augmentation with lift (if necessary) and body sculpting. The first and simplest way to address loose skin after pregnancy is through a tummy tuck. In addition to removing the skin and stretch marks during the abdominoplasty, the surgeon may tighten, if necessary, the abdominal muscles (diastasis recti repair) if they have been weakened by your pregnancy. Using FDA-approved implants, a breast augmentation restores fullness and perkiness to your breasts.
Mommy makeover is an outpatient procedure, performed using general anesthesia. You can expect and are encouraged to walk around on your own a few hours after surgery and every couple of hours for the first few days to ensure proper circulation, and most patients feel up to leaving the house within five to seven days. You may feel sore the first week or so, and you will need to limit strenuous exercise for about 2-4 weeks. You can expect up to 14 days of downtime and lifting restrictions for 6 weeks. You will be asked to wear a supportive compression garment for a certain period of time after your procedures—it is crucial to follow your instructions to ensure you heal optimally and for the best possible results.
If you choose to do a breast augmentation with or without a lift, breast implants are placed partially beneath the pectoral muscle—the preferred method in most cases—your breasts may seem to sit high on the chest at first and even up to 3 or 4 months based on your anatomy. This is normal, and your implants will settle into their optimal position over the next several months, with final results typically after 6+ months.
Yes. You will be sent home in compression garments following surgery. For the best possible result, it is crucial you wear these garment(s) as instructed. Garments can worn up to 4 months post-op for enhanced results.

Yes. Patients can expect 6 weeks of lifting restrictions. You will need to refrain from swimming, hot tubs, baths, etc for 6 weeks following your surgery. It is vital to NOT get your incisions wet or submerged in water while they are healing to minimize the risk of infection.
It’s best to wait until you’re finished having children. Pregnancy can undo the results of your mommy makeover. During your consultation, you’ll discuss your family planning goals to ensure the timing is right for you.
In the United States, the average cost for a mommy makeover can range from $6,500 to $27,000 (or more). During your consultation,The Surgeon will be able to assess your individual needs and goals and provide you with a personalized cost estimate for your mommy makeover. Be sure to ask our team about our financing options during your consultation.
It’s important to remember that the cost is just one factor to consider. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in mommy makeovers is crucial for achieving safe and optimal results.
The Doctor recommends waiting at least 6 months after childbirth and finishing breastfeeding before considering surgery. This allows your body to heal, your weight to stabilize, and ensures the safest and most effective results.
A consultation is where candidacy, technique, timing and cost are all established. There is no obligation to proceed, and you will leave with a clear picture of what surgery could and could not achieve for you.
