With increasing popularity of plastic surgery in Los Angeles, new terms have appeared for existing plastic surgery procedures. It is not uncommon for a Los Angeles plastic surgeon to receive requests to perform a mommy makeover. What is a mommy makeover? A Los Angeles mommy makeover is not one procedure but usually includes several plastic surgical procedures to improve a woman's physique following pregnancies and diminish some of the effects of aging. Common consequences of childbearing that frustrate many women include excess skin in the abdominal area with stretched abdominal muscles, loss of breast volume, breast sagging, areas of fat excess, and others.

A mommy makeover usually combines procedures known as a tummy tuck Los Angeles, breast lift Los Angeles, breast implants Los Angeles (enlargement), liposuction Los Angeles, and nose surgery Los Angeles (rhinoplasty). A combination of these procedures can be performed at the same time or in stages. A board certified plastic surgeon will decide which combination of the procedures can be performed safely at once and which at a different time.
