Mommy Makeover: Am I a Good Candidate Regardless of My Age?

January 28, 2025 - By Dr. Jules Feledy

Are you curious about getting a Mommy Makeover but worried that your age might be a barrier? Let’s put this concern to rest — age is truly just a number when it comes to this life-changing procedure. What really matters is your overall health, the condition of your skin, and your unique aesthetic goals. A Mommy Makeover can be tailored to suit you, whether you're in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or even 60s, making it a versatile option for rejuvenation at any stage of life.

What is a Mommy Makeover, Really?

A Mommy Makeover is a general term that refers to a combination of surgeries aimed at helping women reclaim their pre-baby bodies. Many women notice changes in their bodies post-pregnancy. There are many areas of the body that can be addressed, most commonly the breasts, abdomen, waist, genitalia and buttocks. Typically, the core procedures include both abdominal and breast procedures, but can also include additional procedures such as liposuction and genital rejuvenation. It is not meant to be a specific procedure but rather a combination of procedures. The beauty of a Mommy Makeover is that it’s tailored to fit your body’s unique needs and your personal aesthetic goals. It’s not a one-size-fits-all deal. The key to a happy mommy makeover outcome is selecting the right combination of procedures to best tackle your specific problem areas.

Can I Get a Mommy Makeover in My 40s, 50s, or 60s?

Absolutely! While many women in their 30s choose to undergo a Mommy Makeover after they’re done having children, this procedure isn’t exclusive to any age group. Women in their 40s, 50s, and even 60s can be excellent candidates. The key factors? Your overall health and the condition of your skin. Age itself isn’t a limiting factor, thanks to modern surgical techniques that allow for fantastic results at any stage of life.

1. Factors That Matter More Than Age
   • Health First: Your surgeon will prioritize your health to ensure you’re a good candidate for surgery. This includes checking for any medical conditions and ensuring you're at a stable weight.
   • Skin Elasticity:As we age, our skin loses elasticity and collagen production slows down. But don’t worry—skilled surgeons can adjust their techniques to work with your skin’s condition, achieving natural-looking, beautiful results.
2. Why a Mommy Makeover at Any Age is Worth Considering
   • In Your 20s and 30s: This is often the time when women start considering a Mommy Makeover after having their children, and this includes knowing that they are done with starting their families and not considering having more children. With generally good skin elasticity, results can be dramatic and long-lasting.
   • In Your 40s and 50s: Many women in these decades seek to address both the effects of aging and past pregnancies. With careful planning, the results can still be very satisfying.
   • In Your 60s: Yes, even at 60, a Mommy Makeover is possible. As long as you’re in good health, there’s no reason to shy away from enhancing your body and boosting your confidence.

What Can You Expect from a Mommy Makeover?

• Consultation: It all starts with a personalized consultation where your surgeon will assess your health, skin condition, and what you want to achieve.
• Customized Procedures: Your Mommy Makeover will be tailored to suit your body and goals, whether it’s a focus on your abdomen, breasts, or other areas.
