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.
What Are the Benefits of a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover offers a number of advantages, both physical and emotional, for women looking to restore their confidence and feel great in their own skin. By customizing the procedure, Dr. Stalder ensures each woman achieves her desired results. Here are some of the top benefits of a mommy makeover:
- Restores a pre-pregnancy figure by addressing areas affected by weight gain or breastfeeding

About UsMommy Makeover FAQs
How much does a mommy makeover cost?
The cost of a mommy makeover depends on the specific procedures included in your personalized plan. During your consultation, Dr. Stalder will outline your recommended treatment approach and provide a detailed cost estimate. While cost is a factor, a mommy makeover is a personal investment in restoring your body after pregnancy, and achieving safe, high-quality results should be the priority. At Stalder Plastic Surgery, we accept multiple payment options and can guide you through low-interest financing solutions to help make your procedure more affordable.
How do I decide what to include in my mommy makeover?
During your consultation, Dr. Stalder will take time to understand your goals and discuss any concerns before performing a physical evaluation. Based on this, Dr. Stalder can recommend procedures that align with your needs. Many women choose to combine breast enhancement (such as augmentation, a lift, or both) with a tummy tuck and liposuction for comprehensive results.
What about nonsurgical treatments?
Pregnancy and childbirth can bring about physical changes that are often difficult to reverse with nonsurgical treatments alone. During your consultation, your provider will review both surgical and noninvasive options to help you decide what’s right for your goals. Depending on your needs, treatments like noninvasive fat reduction, vaginal rejuvenation, or skin tightening may be recommended as part of your overall plan.

I can’t give enough thanks to Dr Stalder and his PA Megan. After a DMX to implant and a year of complications, they immediately developed a plan and I underwent a SHAEP FLAP procedure. The recovery from this surgery compared to the implants from another plastic surgeon was night and day. I knew right then I had chosen the right team this time. Megan is readily available by text for any questions or advice. I cannot say how grateful I am to this amazing team of medical professionals and a simple thank you is not enough.

Dr. Mark Stalder is an exceptional plastic surgeon, and my experience with his office came during a particularly challenging time in my life. With a strong family history of breast cancer on my maternal side, I made the decision to undergo a prophylactic double mastectomy with immediate DIEP reconstruction in an effort to prevent cancer. It was a difficult decision, but one that I did not take lightly. I chose to work with Stalder Plastic Surgery, and I am incredibly grateful for that choice. Throughout the process, every question I had was answered, and every concern I faced was addressed with professionalism and compassion. The entire team at Stalder Plastic Surgery supported me every step of the way, offering unmatched care and dedication. Having lost my mother to breast cancer, I am hopeful that I will never have to hear those dreaded words, “you have breast cancer,” in my lifetime.

When I decided to treat myself to a mastopexy for my 50th birthday, I asked some nurse friends who they recommended for a plastic surgeon. They both said they love and trust Dr Stalder and his team. His patients recover well, love their results, and have so much gratitude for Dr Stalder and his team. I am now among them!Without any pressure, Dr Stalder educated me about fat grafting to also add volume. I chose that option instead of mastopexy alone. I knew I’d love my results, but I didn’t fully appreciate how much of a perfectionist Dr Stalder is. He exceeded my expectations!Recovery was easy, results are beautiful, and I take every opportunity to refer people to Dr Stalder, so they can also have the best possible experience.
I had a great experience with Dr. Stalder and his team. He was very kind, informative, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. The staff (Jess) is friendly and welcoming, and Abby, the PA, was excellent as well. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
