New Orleans, LA plastic surgeon Dr. Mark W. Stalder regularly works with women who want to regain their pre-pregnancy bodies. While childbirth is an exciting and rewarding moment for a woman, it can change the size and shape of certain body parts and leave one feeling self-conscious. The great news is that getting a slim and toned body is possible, thanks to the assistance of the mommy makeover surgical procedure performed at Stalder Plastic Surgery. The mommy makeover procedure uses a blend of liposuction and skin removal to reshape both the upper body (arms and breasts) and lower body (such as the tummy). Basically, any body part affected by weight gain or breastfeeding can be addressed. Furthermore, nonsurgical remedies can be used to enhance surface imperfections, such as skin problems or stretch marks, from the rapid fluctuation and stretching of the skin during pregnancy.
What Happens During a Mommy Makeover?
The mommy makeover procedure is a body contouring treatment tailored for each woman by Dr. Stalder. Many procedures can be performed together — the most popular treatments are liposuction of the flanks and lower back, as well as breast lift surgery, breast implants, and tummy tuck surgery. The mommy makeover surgeries are performed while the patient is under general anesthesia, lasting 3 – 7 hours depending on the complexity. In addition, a day-long stay at the hospital may be needed. It is common to also incorporate nonsurgical methods, such as an injectable or a laser treatment, to soften facial wrinkles.
After a recovery period in the hospital, you will recover at home with rest and proper aftercare. Recovery from a mommy makeover is generally a slow process. Walking will be hard the first couple of weeks, and a step-by-step home healing protocol will be needed to ensure the incisions heal properly. The majority of women find the healing process can take around six months. Even though the primary recovery could take months, the majority of women can get back to a normal routine within several weeks. Exercise should wait for approximately two months. In the end, the mommy makeover procedure at Stalder Plastic Surgery can be life-changing for women, creating a newfound love for their figure once again.

Stalder Plastic Surgery Reviews
I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with the team at Stalder Plastic Surgery. They are sensitive, caring, professional, comforting and smart. They walked me through a life changing surgery and I felt that they were a constant source of support.
Dr. Stalder and his office staff are beyond amazing. They make you feel so comfortable and welcome. They made my reconstruction journey so pleasant and calming.
On August 1, 2023 at the age of 69 I was diagnosed with breast cancer in my right breast. So many things go through your mind at this time and so many choices to make. Within a week I had a team that consisted of an oncologist, radiologist, breast surgeon and plastic surgeon. All amazing doctors, but my plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Stalder, of Stalder Plastic Surgery hit it out the ballpark. My spouse and I went into our first visit with so many questions, we had a list, and each question was patiently answered. During a few consultations with Dr. Stalder I decided that I would do a double mastectomy with DIEP Flap reconstruction. Even though my cancer was only in my right breast I didn’t want the concern of it occurring in my left breast at a later date. Jess, Dr. Stalder’s patient rep had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. She had gone through the same surgery I was about to undergo. I spoke to her at length about my decision and what was to come. Jess was so very so helpful and supportive and really put my mind at ease with my decision. Abby, Dr. Stalder’s PA is the best, such a sweetheart. She was there for every visit from pre-op to all of my follow ups. When she went out on maternity leave, Alexa stepped in, once again another fabulous person. She made me feel as if she had been there from day one as well. I can’t leave Angie out either. On a few occasions when I called with a question and staff was with other patients she always answered my questions or made sure I got my question answered. The surgery I chose consisted of two surgeries, the first the Masectomy and DIEP flap and then a few months later there was the “tweaking” surgery. The second one was to even out my breasts and move the scar from the DIEP flap and tighten up my belly. The first surgery was September 19, 2023 and the second was on February 19, 2024. All through these surgeries Dr. Stalder and his amazing team have been right there along for the ride with me. Always patient and kind when I came in for follow-ups with my list of questions. Dr. Stalder always walks in with the biggest smile and makes you feel so comfortable. And let me tell you how important that is considering you are completely naked during those follow up visits. It’s been almost a year since my first surgery and I can’t thank Dr. Stalder, Jess, Abby, Alexa and Angie enough for their professionalism, kindness, compassion, making me feel like a person, not just a patient, and for giving my spouse piece of mind during this ordeal as well. You guys rock!
Dr. Stalder and his staff are deserving of more than 5 stars. They are truly the best - doctor, physician's assistant , Abby and office staff, Jess. My mastectomy and reconstruction surgeries were very difficult and had many unforeseen complications. Dr. Stalder was so caring and encouraging. He and his staff were never more than a phone call away. They were always patient and kind. The end results are amazing; he has made me feel whole again. I am forever grateful for Dr. Stalder and staff.
From the day I met Dr Stalder he always asked me what I wanted rather than force anything on me. I trusted the process from the start and in the course of a year, the work done to my body is unbelievable. The more I heal the more beautiful everything is. From him to his 5 star staff, they are truly some wonderful people. My breasts look amazing!!! I still can’t believe how it all came together! Anytime I had a question him and his team were there to provide the answers almost in the blink of an eye! I am so honored to have worked with Dr Stalder and his team. I will never forget you all as I continue on with my life. You all were a special part of my breast cancer journey. Waking up to Abby checking on me also warmed my heart. She’s such a sweetheart ! I love you all and pray you continue to do an amazing job with individuals dealing with cancer. You have restored my dignity and helped me to love myself again.
