Motherhood changes everything, including our bodies. Many women throughout Central Florida feel a deep sense of pride in the journey of pregnancy and raising children, but it is also very common to experience lingering physical changes that do not respond to diet, workouts, or lifestyle adjustments. Stretched abdominal muscles, loose skin, deflated breast volume, breast sagging, stubborn pockets of fat, and changes in body proportions can impact daily comfort and self-confidence.

A Mommy Makeover is not about reversing pregnancy or chasing a “perfect” look. It is about restoring your confidence and helping you feel at home in your own body again. At NH Cosmetic Surgery in MetroWest Orlando, mommy makeover procedures are carefully personalized to align with each woman's goals, lifestyle, and natural anatomy. Under the care of Dr. Nicholas Houlis, a double board-certified cosmetic and general surgeon with more than 14 years of surgical training, the focus is always on achieving results that feel natural, balanced, and supportive of long-term well-being.

In this guide, we will explore what a mommy makeover includes, how the process works, and why so many women throughout MetroWest, Dr. Phillips, Windermere, Ocoee, and Winter Garden are choosing NH Cosmetic Surgery for their post-pregnancy transformation.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is not a single procedure, but rather a customized combination of surgeries designed to help restore areas commonly affected by pregnancy and breastfeeding. A typical mommy makeover may include:

• Breast Lift to restore shape and position
• Breast Augmentation to add volume if desired
• Breast Reduction when breasts feel heavy, uncomfortable, or out of proportion
• Tummy Tuck to remove loose skin and repair separated abdominal muscles
• Liposuction or Awake Liposuction to sculpt the waist, hips, back, or abdomen
• Lipo 360 for a full midsection reshaping approach

The key is personalization. No two bodies are the same, and no two mom journeys are identical. At NH Cosmetic Surgery, the planning process begins with a deeply thoughtful consultation where we listen first. This ensures your treatment plan reflects your lifestyle, comfort, and goals, not a template.

Common Concerns Mommy Makeovers Address

Women often come to us expressing similar concerns, even though their stories are unique. Some of the most common reasons patients consider a mommy makeover include:

• Feeling frustrated with loose skin around the stomach that won’t go away with exercise.
• Noticing a loss of breast volume or shape after breastfeeding.
• Discomfort caused by enlarged or heavy breasts.
• Stubborn pockets of fat that do not respond to workouts.
• Wanting to feel confident in clothing again, from everyday outfits to swimsuits.
• Wishing to feel more like themselves, physically and emotionally.

These concerns are real and valid. They are not “vain.” They reflect a desire to feel aligned with your own identity. Motherhood adds to who you are, but it does not mean you must let go of feeling confident in your own skin.

Meet Dr. Nicholas Houlis: A Personal, Patient-First Approach

Dr. Nicholas Houlis leads NH Cosmetic Surgery with a philosophy centered around authentic, natural, and confidence-driven results. As a double board-certified surgeon, he brings advanced training in both cosmetic surgery and general surgery, allowing him to approach mommy makeover procedures with comprehensive anatomical understanding and artistic balance.

What sets Dr. Houlis apart is his time spent listening. During consultations, he does not rush you. He explains your options in clear, easy-to-understand terms. He evaluates not only your anatomy but also your comfort level, daily activities, and long-term aesthetic goals. Whether you desire subtle refinement or fuller reshaping, your goals guide the decisions.

You deserve a tailored approach, not a one-size-fits-all plan. That is the foundation of his care.

Breast Enhancement After Pregnancy: Lift, Restore, Rebalance

Breast changes are one of the most noticeable effects of pregnancy and breastfeeding. Some women lose fullness and feel like their breasts have “deflated.” Others experience ongoing heaviness and discomfort. During your consultation, Dr. Houlis may recommend one of the following:

Breast Lift

A breast lift reshapes and elevates the breasts, restoring a youthful, natural contour. This is ideal for women experiencing sagging or changes in nipple position.

Breast Augmentation

When restoring volume is the priority, breast augmentation can help. At NH Cosmetic Surgery, the trend is toward natural sizing that balances your frame rather than creating an overly enhanced look.

Breast Reduction

For women who experience back pain, neck pain, or discomfort due to heavy breasts, a reduction can be life-changing. This procedure improves both comfort and proportion.

You and Dr. Houlis will discuss which approach best meets your needs and goals.

Tummy Tuck and Muscle Repair: Core Strength, Posture, and Confidence

During pregnancy, the abdominal muscles may stretch and separate, a condition known as diastasis recti. Even with consistent exercise, these muscles often cannot return to their original position without surgical repair.

A Tummy Tuck:

• Repairs and strengthens the core muscles
• Removes loose or stretched skin
• Flattens and smooths the abdomen
• Improves posture and lower back support

For many women, this is not just a cosmetic improvement. It is a functional and physical renewal that impacts daily comfort.

Liposuction or Awake Liposuction for Sculpting and Definition

Even with healthy habits, certain areas may continue to hold fat. This is where lipo comes in. NH Cosmetic Surgery offers:

• Traditional Liposuction
• Awake Liposuction (no general anesthesia, faster recovery)
• Lipo 360, which sculpts the waist, abdomen, and back for a complete transformation

These techniques are used for shaping and contouring, not weight loss. The goal is to help your shape reflect the work you already put into your wellness.
