Restore your pre-pregnancy body with a customized combination of surgical procedures by Dr. Brent Howley in Moncton, New Brunswick.
Pregnancy and childbirth bring incredible joy—but also significant changes to your body. A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of surgical procedures designed to restore and enhance your body's contours, helping you regain confidence in your appearance. Dr. Brent Howley creates personalized treatment plans that address your unique concerns and goals.
A Mommy Makeover isn't a single procedure—it's a personalized combination of surgeries performed together to address the physical changes caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, and childbirth. By combining procedures, you undergo anesthesia and recovery only once, making the overall experience more convenient and cost-effective.
Your Mommy Makeover may include any combination of the following:
During your consultation, Dr. Howley will discuss your concerns, examine your anatomy, and recommend the procedures that will best achieve your goals. He'll explain what you can realistically expect and help you understand the recovery process.
Recovery from a Mommy Makeover varies depending on the procedures performed. Most patients take 2-3 weeks off work and require help with childcare and household tasks during initial recovery. Full recovery may take 6-8 weeks, though you'll see progressive improvement throughout this time.
We recommend waiting at least 6 months after you've finished breastfeeding and until your weight has stabilized. This allows your body to return to its baseline state, ensuring optimal results. You should also have completed your family, as future pregnancies may affect your results.
Yes, when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon in an accredited facility, combining procedures is safe. Dr. Howley carefully plans each surgery to ensure patient safety while maximizing results. Combining procedures also means only one anesthesia and one recovery period.
You'll need help with childcare for at least the first 1-2 weeks, especially for lifting and carrying. Many moms arrange for their partner, family member, or hired help to assist during recovery.
Most Mommy Makeover procedures are considered cosmetic and are not covered by insurance. However, if a procedure addresses a functional issue (like abdominal muscle repair or breast reduction for back pain), partial coverage may be possible.
While it's safe to get pregnant after a Mommy Makeover, pregnancy may affect your results. We recommend completing your family before having surgery to enjoy your results long-term.
