Mommy Makeover
What is a Mommy Makeover?
The name says it all – motherhood is one of the most beautiful things a woman can experience. Unfortunately, it is often accompanied by hormonal changes and body changes due to pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding. Many women hardly dare to look in the mirror after having children because they no longer recognize themselves. Do you recognize this? And do you want to go through life in shape again?
Essential Aesthetics would love to be by your side in this journey, so that you can look into the mirror with pride again. If you shine on the outside, it will immediately affect your inner self. And be honest: motherhood is beautiful, but it can also demand a lot from us women. A mommy makeover can, with one and sometimes two surgeries, help you find your balance again between your inner and outer self.
A mommy makeover is a combination of treatments. It often involves a combination of liposuction, abdominoplasty, breast enhancement with implants and/or breast lift. Read more details about these procedures below.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about Mommy Makeover
A Mommy Makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures designed to address changes in the body that occur after childbirth. It typically includes a tummy tuck, breast lift or augmentation, and liposuction.
A good candidate for a mommy makeover is in good health, has realistic expectations for the procedure’s outcome, and has experienced significant changes in their body after pregnancy and childbirth.
Depending on how extensive the surgery is, staying in the hospital for 1 to 2 days may be necessary.
Sometimes a drain is placed to drain excess fluid. Our patients often comment that the pain is okay.
The area is sensitive after the surgery, and you will probably experience pain that can be relieved with analgesic medication.
Avoid (in as far as possible) coughing and sneezing because the added pressure on the zones which were operated on will increase the pain.
You must wear a supportive corset for four weeks, 24 hours daily for best results.
This will support the operated area, prevent excessive swelling and speed up your recovery.
After four weeks, you will only need the corset during the day and will no longer need it after eight weeks.
The treated area will be red and swollen immediately after the surgery and there is often bruising.
Most people can return to regular work after two weeks. Check with your surgeon. It will take six weeks to resume any heavy, demanding work.
The final result is attained 3 to 6 months after the body fully recovers. If there are no drastic changes, such as pregnancy or strong fluctuations in weight, the result is usually permanent. Discuss your expectations with the surgeon to see the results and avoid disappointments. The best results are achieved when you are at your target weight. Although a tummy tuck is not a means to lose weight, it may sometimes be necessary to lose weight before the surgery.
Yes, there will be some scarring after a mommy makeover, but your surgeon will make incisions in areas easily concealed with clothing. Scars will also fade over time and can be further minimized with proper scar care.
The results of a mommy makeover are long-lasting as long as you maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly. However, it’s important to remember that the aging process and future pregnancies can affect the results over time.
Our care team will not only help you in advance with your preparations and during your intake interview with the surgeon, but will also guide you after the surgery, so that you know what to expect and heal as well and as quickly as possible.
The best result is obtained by taking into account the following general advice applicable to the interventions:
Before the surgery
- Stop smoking four weeks before the surgery
- Start taking Arnica drops two weeks in advance to reduce bruising and swelling.
- If you are taking medication such as Marcoumar, Sintrom/Sintrommitis or Asprocardio, consult your surgeon, the same applies to Aspirin or painkillers with aspirin such as Advil, Diclofenac and others.
- Do not use blood thinning medication before surgery.
- Don’t forget to arrange transportation home. Driving yourself after the surgery is not recommended.
The day of the surgery
- Take a shower, after some surgeries you may not shower for 24 hours
- Do not use make-up or facial cream
- Do not wear jewellery or watches
After surgery
- The doctor will tell you if you need to cool because of swelling. Follow this advice carefully.
- Rest preferably lying on your back so the swelling goes down faster.
- Keep the blood circulation active by taking walking about every hour. This promotes the healing of the wound.
- Shower may only be done in consultation with the surgeon.
- Working is allowed on average after a few days to a week. Ask the surgeon for advice.
- Exercising is allowed six weeks after surgery.
- Avoid direct sunshine on your wounds for the first months. So no sun or sunbed. Don’t forget to cover them properly when you’re planning on enjoying the sun with the rest of your body.
There are risks and complications associated with every surgery. A tummy tuck is a major surgery, meaning there is a greater risk of complications than in smaller surgeries. Think carefully in advance about the pros and cons and read up on the risks and possible complications:
- Allergic reaction to the agents used
- Infection (1-2%)
- Poor wound healing
- Numbness in the area operated on
- Longer pain than expected
- Excessive scarring
Step-by-step process
Your journey at Essential Aesthetics
Our Care Team will welcome you by telephone and ask the necessary questions to schedule the correct appointment. We are curious about the reason for your visit and why you chose our clinic. We can also ask about your current health, treatment period and any previous operations. This allows us to prepare ourselves well for your arrival. We look forward to receiving you at the clinic!
Your first visit to us is a pre-consultation. This takes place with our consultant, who will guide you through this special journey as best as possible and is mainly there to listen to your needs and concerns. Our consultant will then share her expertise and knowledge while trying to match your wishes with the available range of services and treatments.
The different options, preparations and our care packages will be discussed with you. Our consultant will show you the doctor’s extensive portfolio. You will receive a copy of our patient information guide to take home from the operation to read again at home. We understand that one visit is not enough when it comes to a decision about your body and safety, which is why we encourage a second visit.
The second consultation is with the selected surgeon. We have now also received and processed all data for pre-operative screening. During this consultation, the technical aspects and possible risks of the treatment will be discussed and you will be prepared for the big day!
Arriving at this step of your journey, you have met our medical team and received all the information. All preparations have been done and it is finally time for the treatment. We understand that this is a milestone for many, and we do our utmost to make this as comfortable as possible. Our team will personally guide and assist you until the time of the operation.
We offer very comprehensive care. Depending on the treatment you have received, we will help you with the necessary compression suits, lymphatic drainage massages and scar reduction treatments.
Together we also plan several check-up appointments. During recovery, our team will continuously assist you and monitor your recovery. We can always be reached via an (emergency) telephone number, WhatsApp and email.

TREATMENT
Breast Reduction
The treatment is always extremely professional, careful, and as much painless as possible; the doctors and team are extremely friendly, helpful, and conscientious. And all this in a beautiful and well-maintained building, as of recently on Statenlaan in Scheveningen! From the other clients I speak to – I always chat with everyone – I hear the same satisfied feedback! A big ten, I would say!
Very satisfied

TREATMENT
Brest Augmentation
A very good clinic and professional. The feel and look of the clinic are very special, and the same way they treat the patients. They were there for me whenever I needed them, and I felt like they were just one step away from me. I appreciated this for such a big time.
Very satisfied

TREATMENT
BodyTite
I felt safe at Essential Aesthetics, which is exactly what I was looking for. I am incredibly satisfied with the results of my BodyTite treatment—better than I expected. The recovery was much easier than I had anticipated, especially compared to a tummy tuck, for which I initially had a consultation scheduled at Essential Aesthetics. With BodyTite, subcutaneous fat is removed through melting while simultaneously tightening the skin. Thanks to this choice, I now have a flat stomach without any visible scars. In short: I recommend this clinic 100%. If you are still in doubt, this is your sign to book a consultation ♥️
Very satisfied

TREATMENT
Skin Improvements
I have been coming to Essential Aesthetics for years and am very satisfied with both the way the owner and team treat me and the treatments. I myself have had my eyelids lifted, had a muscle relaxants treatment and am currently undergoing treatment for hair loss and laser therapy for collagen stimulation. The team is knowledgeable, attentive, and truly dedicated to providing the best care possible. If you’re looking for high-quality aesthetic treatments in a welcoming and expert environment, I wholeheartedly recommend Essential Aesthetics!
