Mommy Makeover in Irvine, CA
About Mommy Makeover
Procedure Quick Facts
- Restore Youthful Breast Shape and VolumeBreast augmentation, lift, or reduction can correct post-pregnancy sagging and volume loss, bringing back fullness and a perky, balanced silhouette that aligns with your body frame.
- Flatten and Tighten the Abdominal ContourTummy tuck surgery repairs separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), removes excess skin, and smooths stretch-marked tissue, creating a firmer, flatter midsection.
- Target Stubborn Fat Deposits in One SessionStrategic liposuction of the flanks, hips, or thighs sculpts areas often resistant to diet and exercise, yielding a more proportionate and athletic look.
- Single Recovery Period for Multiple ProceduresCombining surgeries reduces cumulative anesthesia exposure and allows you to heal once, minimizing downtime away from family, work, and daily life.
- Cost-Effective Comprehensive TransformationBundling procedures in a Mommy Makeover is often more affordable than scheduling each surgery separately, maximizing the value of your investment.
- Boost Confidence and Clothing OptionsReclaiming your pre-baby contours can expand wardrobe choices, improve comfort in swimwear and fitted clothing, and elevate self-esteem in every setting.

The Mommy Makeover Procedure
Mommy Makeover is performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort while multiple areas are addressed efficiently.
During the procedure:
- General anesthesia is administered and vital signs monitored
- Tummy tuck incision made; muscles repaired and skin tightened
- Breast augmentation, lift, or reduction performed as planned
- Targeted liposuction contours flanks, hips, or thighs
Incisions are closed with layered sutures, dressings applied, and you are gently awakened in the recovery suite with nursing support.

Mommy Makeover Results and Safety Considerations
Understanding how surgical technique, anatomy, and healing affect Mommy Makeover results can help you set realistic expectations and feel confident in your decision.
Achieving Natural-Looking Results
Our surgeons prioritize proportion and balance, ensuring your breasts, waist, and hips complement each other for an authentic, harmonious appearance. Precise muscle repair during tummy tuck restores a natural abdominal contour, while careful implant sizing and breast reshaping respect your frame.
Patient-specific factors—such as skin quality, existing breast tissue, and fat distribution—inform every step of the plan. By combining artistic judgment with proven surgical techniques, we create results that look like you, only refreshed.
Where Are the Incisions?
- Incision placement depends on the procedures performed during your Mommy Makeover.
- Low horizontal incision hidden in the bikini line for tummy tuck
- Incisions are carefully planned to follow natural contours and are closed with precision to support proper healing and minimize long-term visibility.
Is Scarring a Concern?
All surgical incisions create scars, but their appearance can be managed with meticulous closure, silicone therapy, and sun protection. Over time most scars fade to thin, pale lines.
Scar Healing Timeline
As your body heals, scars will change gradually over time:
- Weeks 1-2
Scars may appear red and slightly raised - Months 1-3
Scars typically soften and begin to flatten - Around 6 months
Noticeable fading often occurs - 1-2 years
Scars may continue to lighten and become less noticeable
Following post-operative instructions and recommended scar care plays an important role in how scars mature.

Dr. Song performed my breast implant surgery nearly 10 yrs ago with the ideal breast implant. I've had no issues in this time. I live on the other side of the country now, but I would've loved to come back for removal, since I'm on an all natural journey. I hope to find someone who can take care of me, keep me safe, & assured during & after surgery as Dr. Song & his staff did.
Thank you Dr. Song. I’m 10 days post opp and am so happy with my experience with my mommy makeover! I can’t tell you how comfortable Dr. Song and his staff made me feel throughout this whole process. Surgery is a bit of a scary decision and sometimes I agonized about for years but I can promise you are in the best care with this team. I highly highly recommend them and am already so happy with my results !
