Mommy Makeover with Dr. Hong – Expert Body Contouring Across Gangnam, Apgujeong, Cheongdam, Myeongdong, Hongdae and All of Seoul
Restore balance after pregnancy—personalized, natural-looking results
A mommy makeover is a customized plan that typically combines tummy contouring (mini/full abdominoplasty), breast procedures (lift, augmentation, reduction, or fat transfer), and targeted liposuction or fat grafting. Dr. Hong designs each makeover to match your anatomy, lifestyle, and goals—prioritizing safety, proportion, and a soft, believable finish.
Why patients choose Dr. Hong
- Body-first design: We map waist–abdomen–hips–breasts together so everything looks harmonious from the front, side, and ¾ view.
- Natural aesthetic: Smooth transitions, conserved curves, and discreet scars.
- Thoughtful recovery: Staging options, gentle protocols, and close follow-up tailored to your caregiving schedule.
- Breast + core expertise: From diastasis repair to nuanced breast shaping and umbilicus aesthetics.
What a mommy makeover can include
- Abdomen & Core
- Mini or Full Tummy Tuck (skin removal, low scar, umbilicus shaping)
- Diastasis Recti Repair (muscle plication for flatter contour and core support)
- Liposuction (360° waist, flanks, lower back)
- Mons contouring (reduction or subtle fat transfer for a clean lower border)
- Breasts
- Breast Lift (Mastopexy) to restore position and shape
- Augmentation with implants or fat transfer for soft fullness
- Reduction for comfort and balance
- Asymmetry correction and implant revision when needed
- Shaping with Your Own Fat
- Hip dip/upper-butt fat transfer for smoother curves
- Facial micro-fat for refreshed features (temples/cheeks/tear trough in select cases)
- Hand rejuvenation if desired
Your plan may be performed in one session or staged—we’ll choose the safest, most convenient path for you.
Are you a good candidate?
- Finished (or pausing) family plans and not currently breastfeeding
- Stable weight and healthy lifestyle habits
- Realistic goals about scars, downtime, and gradual refinement
- Non-smoker or willing to pause around surgery for optimal healing
- Cleared by your primary doctor if you have medical conditions
How the process works
- Consultation & 3-angle planning – Photos and markings; choose procedures that deliver the most benefit with the least downtime.
- Surgical plan & staging – Same-day combination vs. staged approach based on safety, time, and home support.
- Surgery day – Precise incisions, careful hemostasis, layered closure, and compression/support garments as needed.
- Recovery roadmap – Clear steps for garments, mobility, lifting restrictions, and scar care.
Typical recovery timeline (combined cases)
- Days 1–3: Soreness/tightness; short, frequent walks; compression as directed.
- Week 1–2: Desk work is often possible; drains removed when applicable; bruising/swelling improve.
- Weeks 3–4: Light exercise; standing fully upright after tummy procedures becomes comfortable.
- Weeks 6–8: Most daily activities cleared; progressive fitness plan begins.
- 3–6 months: Contours refine; scars soften; final polish continues up to 12 months.
Timelines vary by procedure mix, extent of surgery, and individual healing.
Results you can expect
- Flatter, supported abdomen with a low, underwear-concealed scar
- Breasts reshaped for symmetry, position, and comfortable fullness
- Slimmer, more defined waistline and smoother transitions at the flanks/lower back
- Balanced proportions that look natural in clothing and motion
Scar care & aftercare essentials
- Incision care + silicone therapy after clearance; consistent SPF on healed scars
- Compression garments (abdomen/waist) as directed
- No heavy lifting (including toddlers) until cleared—arrange help at home
- Hydration, protein-rich diet, and gentle mobility to support recovery
- Stable weight maintains your new shape
Risks & how we minimize them
All surgery carries risk—seroma, hematoma, infection, widened scars, asymmetry, changes in sensation, DVT/PE (rare), and need for revision. We reduce risk with careful patient selection, DVT prophylaxis, meticulous hemostasis, tension-balanced closure, appropriate drains/quilting sutures, and close follow-up. Staging is recommended when it meaningfully improves safety or convenience.
Smart combinations (examples)
- Full tummy tuck + 360° waist lipo + breast lift/augmentation for comprehensive front and profile change
- Mini tummy tuck + breast fat transfer + flank lipo for smaller scars and shorter downtime
- Diastasis repair + lift (no implant) + mons contouring for functional and aesthetic restoration
- Stage 1: Core & waist → Stage 2: Breast & fat transfer to simplify caregiving during recovery
FAQs
How long after breastfeeding should I wait?
Typically
3–6 months after milk has fully dried up to ensure stable breast size and safe anesthesia planning.
Will I lose feeling in my nipples or belly button?
Temporary sensation changes are possible; most improve as nerves recover. Technique aims to preserve sensation.
Can I still get pregnant later?
Yes, but future pregnancies can stretch results. Many patients plan surgery after completing families.
How visible will the scars be?
Incisions are designed to be
low and discreet. With scar care and time, most fade significantly.
Do results last?
Yes—with
stable weight and lifestyle. Normal aging continues, but your improved proportions remain.
