Restore What Pregnancy Changed.

Introduction to Mommy Makeover

Your body goes through an incredible transformation during pregnancy, but what many women don’t expect is how long some of those changes can last. Even with a healthy lifestyle, it is common to notice lingering effects like loose skin, stretched abdominal muscles, or changes in breast volume and shape.

A Mommy Makeover at Conkright Aesthetics in Evansville addresses those concerns in a comprehensive, personalized way. Rather than focusing on a single area, this approach combines procedures to restore balance, contour, and confidence — helping you feel more like yourself again.

This isn’t about “bouncing back.” It’s about moving forward with results that reflect the effort you’ve already put into your health and well-being. Each Mommy Makeover plan is crafted by Dr. J. Michael Conkright in close consultation with the patient, tailored to your unique anatomy, goals, and circumstances.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of surgical procedures designed to restore and enhance areas of the body commonly affected by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. This is not a cookie-cutter treatment — it is fully individualized to each patient’s specific concerns and goals.

A Mommy Makeover often includes a combination of procedures such as:

  • Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) — to tighten abdominal muscles and remove excess skin
  • Breast procedures — including augmentation, lift, or reduction depending on your goals
  • Liposuction — to remove stubborn fat and refine body contours
  • Fat transfer — to restore volume naturally to the breasts, face, or buttocks using your own harvested fat

By addressing multiple areas in a single surgical plan, a Mommy Makeover treats several concerns together in one coordinated, balanced plan.

Who Are the Best Candidates for a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover at Conkright Aesthetics is best suited for patients who are ready to address long-term changes following pregnancy. Good candidates generally:

  • Have completed childbearing, as future pregnancies may affect results
  • Have loose abdominal skin or weakened muscles following pregnancy
  • Are experiencing changes in breast shape or volume, such as sagging or deflation
  • Have stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
  • Are in good overall physical health with a stable weight
  • Have realistic expectations regarding surgical outcomes

If weight loss is part of your plan, Dr. Conkright also offers medical weight loss under his personal care through our Concierge Weight & Wellness Program.

What Are the Benefits of a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover offers a holistic approach to body restoration, allowing multiple concerns to be addressed in a single, streamlined surgical plan. Benefits include:

  • Restores abdominal strength and contour, particularly after muscle separation (diastasis recti)
  • Enhances breast shape and volume, addressing sagging, deflation, or asymmetry
  • Removes stubborn fat deposits, improving overall body proportions
  • Reduces excess, loose skin — especially in the abdomen and other affected areas
  • Restores natural volume to areas depleted by pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Creates a more balanced, cohesive silhouette, improving both appearance and confidence
  • Consolidates multiple recoveries into one

A note on realistic expectations: Dr. Conkright will do everything possible to thoroughly assess your goals and provide a realistic, personalized surgical plan based on his four decades of experience and expertise. If your goals cannot be safely or effectively achieved, Dr. Conkright will explain why in clear, honest terms and help guide you toward the most appropriate path forward. Your long-term satisfaction and well-being are always the priority.

Important note for GLP-1 patients: If you are currently taking GLP-1 medications, please plan to discontinue them at least two weeks prior to any procedure involving general anesthesia. For procedures performed under local anesthesia with tumescent technique, this is not a concern. Discuss your current medications with Dr. Conkright during your consultation.

What to Expect on the Day of Mommy Makeover Surgery

From the moment you arrive, you will receive the full attention of Dr. Conkright, with attention to your comfort and your goals in everything we do.

Many, if not most, of our procedures can be done awake, under local anesthesia, in our office surgical suite, for selected candidates. Others are done under general anesthesia at an outpatient surgery center. The setting depends on patient selection and the procedure planned; there is no set way and no guarantee either way. It is determined with Dr. Conkright at your consultation. Because multiple areas are addressed, surgery time may be longer than a single procedure — Dr. Conkright will provide a detailed time estimate as part of your surgical plan.

Dr. Conkright will perform each component of your makeover in a carefully planned sequence, with incisions strategically placed to minimize visible scarring while allowing for effective correction. After surgery, you will be monitored and provided with detailed post-operative instructions to support your recovery.

Procedures Included in a Mommy Makeover

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

A tummy tuck is often the foundation of a Mommy Makeover, particularly for patients who have experienced significant abdominal changes following pregnancy. This procedure removes excess skin, tightens weakened or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), and restores a flatter, more supported midsection. Diet and exercise alone cannot repair muscle separation or remove loose, stretched skin — making this one of the most impactful components of the Mommy Makeover.

Mommy Makeover Recovery

Dr. Conkright’s techniques are planned with your recovery in mind. Beginning with our minimally invasive anesthetic techniques, patients are encouraged to return to normal activities as Dr. Conkright advises. We work to keep you as comfortable as possible during recovery.

Our pre-op and post-op instructions are available on our website.

  • Immediately post-op: Swelling, bruising, soreness, and fatigue are normal during the initial recovery period. Compression garments are worn to support healing and contouring.
  • Day one: Patients may shower the day following surgery.
  • First 1–2 weeks: Most patients return to light activities within 1–2 weeks.
  • Weeks 2–6: More strenuous activity should be avoided for several weeks. Dr. Conkright will provide a detailed activity timeline based on your specific procedures.
  • Full recovery: Final results become fully apparent over 3–6 months as swelling resolves and tissues settle. Following post-operative instructions closely is essential to achieving the best possible outcome.
