Mommy Makeover in Nashville, TN
A personalized combination of breast and body procedures that restores shape after pregnancy in a single surgery.
What is a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover is a personalized combination of breast and body procedures performed together to restore shape after pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight changes, most often pairing a tummy tuck and liposuction with a breast procedure such as a breast augmentation, breast lift, or augmentation with lift. The exact combination is tailored to each patient.
At Nixon Plastic Surgery in Nashville, TN, Dr. Nixon designs each mommy makeover around the individual changes a patient wants to reverse, combining procedures safely into one surgery and one recovery. Browse all body procedures to compare your options.
A Nashville mommy makeover built entirely around you.
No two mommy makeovers are the same, because no two pregnancies affect the body in the same way. Dr. Nixon performs mommy makeovers in Nashville for patients who want to address several changes at once, whether that is loose abdominal skin, separated muscles, deflated or sagging breasts, or stubborn fat.
At Nixon Plastic Surgery, the makeover is fully customized. After understanding what bothers you most, Dr. Nixon builds a combination of procedures that fits your goals, anatomy, and a safe surgical plan. Combining procedures means one anesthesia, one recovery, and a coordinated result rather than several separate surgeries spread across years.
Your consultation includes a full evaluation of your breasts and body, a discussion of your pregnancy history and goals, and a clear, honest plan for which procedures to combine and how recovery will work.
Why do patients choose a mommy makeover?
Pregnancy and breastfeeding change the breasts and abdomen at the same time, so many patients want to address both together rather than one at a time. A mommy makeover combines the procedures that solve those changes into a single, coordinated surgery.
At Nixon Plastic Surgery, the appeal is efficiency and a unified result. Dr. Nixon’s approach is to combine only what can be done safely in one operation while still delivering a natural, balanced outcome. Recovering once instead of multiple times is a major advantage for busy parents, and the combined result tends to look more harmonious because it is planned as a whole.
Whether your priority is your midsection, your breasts, or both, the goal is to help you feel like yourself again. That personalized, restorative focus is central to Dr. Nixon’s mommy makeover results.
Common concerns a mommy makeover can address.
A mommy makeover in Nashville is commonly designed to improve:
- –Loose abdominal skin and muscle separation. Addressed with a tummy tuck to flatten and firm the midsection.
- –Deflated or sagging breasts. Restored with a breast lift, augmentation, or both combined.
- –Stubborn fat pockets. Sculpted with liposuction of the waist, flanks, or thighs.
- –Lost waist definition. Refined by combining muscle repair and contouring for a more defined silhouette.
- –Lower-abdomen stretch marks. Many are removed along with the excess skin during a tummy tuck.
- –Overall post-pregnancy shape. Restore a balanced, proportionate figure in one coordinated surgery.

How is a mommy makeover performed?
A mommy makeover is performed under anesthesia in an accredited surgical setting, combining your chosen procedures into one coordinated operation. Dr. Nixon sequences each step for safety and efficiency, often pairing a tummy tuck with a breast procedure and liposuction.
Your makeover may combine several procedures:
- –Tummy tuck. A tummy tuck repairs muscle separation and removes loose abdominal skin.
- –Breast procedure. A breast augmentation, lift, or both restores breast volume and position.
- –Liposuction. Liposuction sculpts the waist, flanks, or thighs for a refined contour.
- –Custom sequencing. Procedures are ordered within the operation to maximize safety and efficiency.
- –Single recovery. Everything heals together, so you recover once rather than across multiple surgeries.
Plastic surgery training with reconstructive depth and cosmetic refinement.
Dr. Nixon’s plastic surgery background includes reconstructive training, which is valuable in a mommy makeover because combining breast and body procedures requires careful planning, tissue handling, and surgical judgment to keep a multi-part operation safe and balanced.
His Aesthetic Society endorsed aesthetic surgery fellowship in Newport Beach, California added cosmetic refinement to that reconstructive foundation, especially relevant for the breast portion of a makeover. For Nashville mommy makeover patients, that means both the breast and body results are planned with precision and aesthetic care.
Patients choose Dr. Nixon because a mommy makeover is several procedures working together, and the result depends on cohesive planning. The aim is a natural, balanced, fully restored shape. See recent results for examples.

Mommy makeover FAQs.
How much does a mommy makeover cost in Nashville?
Because a mommy makeover is customized, the cost in Nashville depends on which procedures are combined, anesthesia, and facility fees. Combining procedures is often more cost-effective than having them done separately. After your consultation, Dr. Nixon will provide a complete estimate.
What procedures are included in a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover is fully customized, but it most often combines a tummy tuck and liposuction with a breast procedure such as a breast augmentation, breast lift, or augmentation with lift. Your exact combination is chosen during consultation.
Should I wait until I am done having children?
Because future pregnancy can reverse some of the results, particularly the tummy tuck, many patients choose to wait until they are finished having children. A mommy makeover is still safe between pregnancies, and the right timing depends on your goals and plans.
How long should I wait after giving birth or breastfeeding?
Most surgeons recommend waiting until you have fully recovered from childbirth, finished breastfeeding for several months, and reached a stable weight. This allows your body and breasts to settle so the surgical plan reflects your final shape.
Is it safe to have multiple procedures at once?
For healthy patients, combining procedures into one safely planned operation is routine and well established. Dr. Nixon evaluates your health, the total operative time, and which procedures to combine to keep your makeover safe.
How long is recovery after a mommy makeover?
Recovery depends on the combination, but it generally follows the tummy tuck timeline, with most patients returning to desk work within two weeks and full exercise around six to eight weeks. Arranging help at home for the first week is strongly recommended.
Will I have scars after a mommy makeover?
Yes, the procedures involved leave scars, such as the low tummy tuck scar and any breast incisions. Dr. Nixon places incisions to keep scarring as discreet as possible, and most fade over time. Specific scar patterns are reviewed during your consultation.
Is a mommy makeover painful?
Most patients describe early recovery as tightness and soreness across the treated areas rather than sharp pain. Discomfort is most noticeable in the first several days and improves steadily with prescribed medication, rest, and the support of compression garments.
