Tummy tucks and lipo are popular ‘mommy makeover’ cosmetic procedures
During a May performance at Beale Street Music Festival in Memphis, Tennessee, singer and rapper Cardi B revealed that she underwent liposuction and a breast augmentation after having her daughter Kulture.
Cardi B isn’t the first celebrity to share her decision to get a “mommy makeover,” or a cosmetic surgery that helps reshape a woman’s body after giving birth. Actress and cookbook author Ayesha Curry said she had breast-related surgery after having her first child in December 2018, according to Buzzfeed.
These procedures aren’t just for the rich and famous. In 2010, a reported 112,000 women had tummy tucks and 90,000 women had breast lifts, two common mommy makeover procedures, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
While it’s unclear how many of those women were new moms, the procedures are so popular among that population that “the mommy makeover” has become an overarching term for all of the potential cosmetic procedures a new mom may want, including those that tighten loose skin, lift breasts, and enlarge butts.

“In the past we saw a lot of women in their 50s getting these types of procedures. But today we are seeing young mothers in their 30s coming in for procedures such as tummy tucks and breast lifts. They don’t want to wait years to reestablish how they used to look. They want their pre-baby bodies back now,” Dr. Phillip Haeck, a former ASPS president, said in a statement about the 2010 statistics.
Dr. Alan Matarasso, the current president of ASPS, told INSIDER that the procedures can help account for factors that are out of a new mom’s control, like loose skin, stretch marks, and muscle separation. “No amount of exercise” will reverse those body changes, he said.
According to Matarasso, if women opt for a procedure, they’ll need to wait until they’re no longer nursing their child and have a normal menstrual cycle again, which can be anywhere between two and seven months.
From vaginal rejuvenation to butt augmentation, here are six popular “mommy makeover” procedures, according to ASPS.
