Mommy makeovers are very popular here in Salt Lake City and Utah. Women generally get married early and have many children at a fairly young age. They are in their 20’s and 30’s, done having children, and in need of getting their pre-pregnancy bodies back. Dr. Yates has vast experience with the mommy makeover and this is the largest part of his practice.
A mommy makeover is not a specific operation, but is tailored to the needs of each patient. The issues that are generally addressed with a mommy makeover are saggy breasts, loss of breast fullness and size, stretch marks on the tummy, loose skin on the tummy, and flabby abdominal muscles. This involves a combination of a tummy tuck, liposuction and breast enhancement surgery (often a breast lift and breast augmentation with breast implants). Oftentimes, these procedures can be done in combination. For cost and safety issues we will often separate the procedures by a few days or weeks. Generally, one should wait until at least 6 months after delivery or breast feeding to proceed with a mommy makeover. Dr Yates is very experienced in the complete mommy makeover process, providing service to the Salt Lake City metro area in Utah.
How much does a mommy makeover cost?
The fees associated with mommy makeover include 1) surgeon’s fees, 2) anesthesia fees, and 3) facility fees. As Dr Yates has an in-office operating suite, the facility fee is minimal. This is a cost savings directly to the patient. For a list of the costs of common procedures performed by Dr. Yates click here.
What is the recovery like after a mommy makeover?
The recovery after a mommy makeover depends on the actual procedures performed. Oftentimes Dr. Yates will recommend separating some of these procedures by a couple of days or weeks for safety and recovery issues.

Before & After
Procedure:
Mother of three desired mommy makeover consisting of breast augmentation and abdominoplasty. Her breasts had significant droop and a tear drop shaped implant above the muscle was chosen to help maximally lift and support the breasts without a formal lift. These were 330 cc oval base moderate projection Sientra implants. Had she chosen a standard round implant placed beneath the muscle she would have been left with a fairly droopy postoperative result. She is shown at 3 months and reports she went from a B cup to a D cup. Her abdomen scar is still quite red but we would expect significant fading over time View More.
