Pregnancy and childbirth can lead to lasting changes in the body, even for women who maintain a healthy lifestyle. Shifts in breast volume, abdominal muscle separation, loose skin, and stubborn fat can make it difficult to feel comfortable in your body or confident in clothing. A mommy makeover offers a surgical path to address these changes in a coordinated, efficient way.
At Peak Plastic Surgery Center in Denver, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon Dr. Eric Barker performs fully customized mommy makeover procedures designed to restore balance, proportion, and comfort after pregnancy.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have completed childbearing
- Are in good overall physical and mental health
- Have concerns related to pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Have maintained a stable weight for several months
- Have realistic expectations for surgical improvement
A private consultation allows Dr. Barker to assess candidacy and develop a plan that aligns with your lifestyle and goals.
What to Expect From Surgery
Mommy makeover procedures are performed under general anesthesia. Surgery duration varies with the procedure mix but typically lasts several hours.
Some patients may stay overnight for monitoring, while others return home the same day. Dr. Barker and the Peak Plastic Surgery Center team provide detailed pre- and post-operative instructions to support a smooth experience.
Recovery and Healing
Recovery timelines vary based on the procedures performed. Most patients resume light daily activities within a couple of weeks, progressing gradually back to normal routines.
Swelling, tightness, and fatigue are expected early in recovery and improve over time. Full healing can take several months, and final results continue to refine as tissues settle.
Results of a Mommy Makeover
As healing progresses, patients typically notice:
- A flatter, firmer abdomen
- Improved breast shape and position
- More defined body contours
- Better fit in clothing
- Increased comfort and confidence
Results are long-lasting when weight remains stable.

Mommy Makeover FAQ
The cost of a mommy makeover can vary, depending on which procedures are part of your treatment plan. During your consultation, Dr. Barker will present his recommendations and discuss potential costs. A mommy makeover is an investment in rejuvenating your body and confidence after having children. Peak Plastic Surgery accepts many payment options, and we will help you find low-interest financing options.
During your initial consultation with Dr. Barker, he will listen to your needs and concerns before performing a physical examination. After this, he will make suggestions on what should be a part of your treatment plan. There is a wide array of options to choose from, including a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), breast surgery, and VASER liposuction. Dr. Barker will ensure you are comfortable with your decision and that the customized plan addresses your specific concerns and goals.
During your consultation, Dr. Barker will discuss both surgical and non-surgical procedures. Based on your concerns and goals, he will advise you on whether non-invasive options can be considered.
Although a mommy makeover gives you a beautiful new figure, it does leave surgical scars. Dr. Barker will create clean, small incisions. Most scars from this surgery can be concealed by swimsuits and underwear. When reviewing your recovery instructions, Dr. Barker or a member of his team will provide tips on scar care to help your sutures heal and fade over time.
Ideally, you should wait to have a mommy makeover until after your family is complete, so the surgical results are not compromised. Should you have another child after your mommy makeover, revision surgery can be performed to refresh your results if needed.
