Restore Your Body After Pregnancy With a Personalized Surgical Plan by Dr. George Kamel
Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can bring profound and lasting changes to a woman’s body. Even with a healthy lifestyle, many women experience loose abdominal skin, separated muscles, stubborn fat, and changes in breast shape or volume that do not improve with diet or exercise alone. A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of procedures designed to restore body contours, improve proportion, and help patients feel confident in their appearance again.
At GK Plastic Surgery, Mommy Makeover procedures are performed by Dr. George Kamel, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon with advanced training in aesthetic, reconstructive, and body contouring surgery. Every Mommy Makeover is planned with a focus on safety, balance, and natural-looking results that complement each patient’s unique anatomy.
A Message From Dr. George Kamel
“As a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, my approach to Mommy Makeover surgery is grounded in careful planning, surgical precision, and respect for each patient’s individual anatomy. Pregnancy can change the body in complex ways, affecting the breasts, abdomen, and overall contour. My goal is not to create dramatic or exaggerated results, but to restore balance, proportion, and function while maintaining a natural appearance. Every Mommy Makeover I perform is customized, with safety, long-term outcomes, and patient confidence at the forefront of every decision.
“For years I’ve always wanted a breast lift but I’ve always been hesitant. Not really sure why. I guess finding the right doctor played a major part. Dr. George Kamel came highly recommended by one of my coworkers and After meeting him I understood why… Very genuine & professional ! Let’s just say you won’t be disappointed with the results. I absolutely love my new tatas. He is the Best of the Best. Ladies, he’s really easy on the eyes too… And the office staff were super helpful and very nice!“Erin P.
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is not a single operation, it is a personalized surgical approach that combines multiple procedures into one comprehensive treatment plan. The goal is to address the physical changes most commonly associated with pregnancy and childbirth, including the breasts, abdomen, and areas affected by stubborn fat deposits.
By combining procedures, patients benefit from one anesthesia experience, a coordinated surgical plan, and a single recovery period, rather than undergoing multiple surgeries at different times.
Common Procedures Included in a Mommy Makeover
Each Mommy Makeover is tailored to the individual. Dr. Kamel works closely with every patient to determine which procedures will best achieve their goals while maintaining natural proportions.
Breast Procedures
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can lead to volume loss, sagging, or changes in breast shape. Breast procedures commonly included in a Mommy Makeover may include:
- Breast augmentation to restore lost volume
- Breast lift to correct sagging and reposition the breasts
- Breast reduction for patients experiencing discomfort or disproportion
In some cases, breast augmentation and breast lift are performed together to restore both volume and position.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
A tummy tuck is often the cornerstone of a Mommy Makeover. This procedure removes excess skin, tightens weakened or separated abdominal muscles, and reshapes the midsection. Muscle separation, also known as diastasis recti, is common after pregnancy and cannot be corrected with exercise alone. Repairing the abdominal muscles can improve both appearance and core strength.
Liposuction
Liposuction is frequently used to remove stubborn fat deposits that remain despite healthy habits. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, waist, flanks, hips, thighs, and back. Liposuction helps refine contours and enhance the overall results of the Mommy Makeover.
Additional procedures may be incorporated depending on a patient’s goals, such as arm lift, thigh lift, or other body contouring options.
Why Combine Procedures?
Combining procedures into a Mommy Makeover offers several important benefits:
- A single anesthesia session rather than multiple surgeries
- One coordinated recovery period
- More harmonious and balanced aesthetic results
- Reduced overall downtime compared to staged procedures
Dr. Kamel carefully evaluates each patient’s health, anatomy, and surgical goals to ensure combination surgery is appropriate and safe.

The Mommy Makeover Process
Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. Dr. Kamel will review your medical history, examine your anatomy, and discuss your aesthetic goals in detail. He will explain which procedures are recommended, what results are realistically achievable, and what recovery will involve.
Surgery
Mommy Makeover surgery is performed in an accredited surgical setting with a qualified anesthesia team. The length of surgery depends on the procedures included and the complexity of the treatment plan.
Recovery
Recovery varies based on the combination of procedures performed. Most patients require several weeks of limited activity and support at home, especially during the early healing phase. Dr. Kamel and his team provide detailed postoperative instructions and closely monitor your recovery to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
While initial improvements are visible within weeks, final results continue to refine over several months as swelling resolves and tissues settle.

Ideal candidates for a Mommy Makeover typically:
- Are finished having children
- Are at or near a stable, healthy weight
- Are in good overall physical health
- Do not smoke or are willing to stop smoking before surgery
