Motherhood is beautiful, but the changes to your body might not feel the same. For our patients in Charlotte mommy makeover can help with:
This isn’t about perfection—it’s about feeling comfortable, confident, and at home in your body again.
A mommy makeover is all about versatility. Common areas we address include:
Think lifting, reshaping, or adding volume.
Tightening muscles, flattening the belly, and smoothing skin.
Sculpting with liposuction to bring back those curves.
Add-ons like labiaplasty or facial rejuvenation can complete the transformation.
Motherhood brings with it many joys, but also many changes. These changes are often reflected in a woman’s body in the form of stretch marks, extra weight, and excess skin. A mommy makeover is most beneficial for moms who want to minimize or correct the changes to their bodies after having children. At Aesthetic Surgery of Charlotte mommy makeover typically addresses the breasts and tummy, but can include any combination of surgical or nonsurgical procedures, such as facial rejuvenation or labiaplasty.
Women who can benefit from a mommy makeover include those who:
With a mommy makeover Charlotte patients can combine 2 or more surgeries at one time. This has several benefits, including consolidating multiple procedures into a single surgery and recovery period, reducing your exposure to anesthesia, and achieving more dramatic results quicker. It can also be financially beneficial, since you’ll only pay fees such as anesthesia and facility fees once.
Dr. Augenstein will listen to your goals for surgery and help you decide which procedures will be most beneficial. Typically, his mommy makeover patients benefit from a combination of the following:
Dr. Augenstein may recommend breast augmentation if your breasts have lost volume or shape. This is very common in women who breastfed.
A breast lift will improve the look of sagging breasts and restore your breasts to a more upright position. It can also be combined with an augmentation for women who need both enhanced shape and volume.
Tummy tuck surgery can slim your waist and restore firmness and muscle tone to your abdominal wall, which is often compromised by pregnancy. Women whose pregnancy resulted in diastasis recti, or separation of the abdominal muscles, are often good candidates for a tummy tuck.
Liposuction can remove stubborn areas of fat that don’t improve with diet or exercise. Liposuction is often combined with a tummy tuck for enhanced results.
Getting ready for a mommy makeover isn’t just about scheduling surgery—it’s about setting yourself up for success:
A mommy makeover is completely tailored to your body and your goals. Dr. Augenstein will work with you to select the combination of procedures that will deliver the best results. Here’s a closer look at what might be included:

Dr. Augenstein uses cutting-edge techniques to enhance safety and optimize results, including advanced suturing methods to minimize scarring and meticulous attention to detail for natural, balanced outcomes.
Because mommy makeovers include multiple surgeries, the recovery time can vary greatly depending on the number and type of procedures you have. He will give you more detailed recovery information after you’ve determined your surgical plan. Usually, Charlotte mommy makeover patients are back to their normal routines in about 4 to 6 weeks.
If you have small children, you may want to arrange for childcare during the first 1 to 2 weeks. You will be unable to walk fully upright for a few days, and you shouldn’t be doing any lifting for several weeks. Since mommy makeovers involve multiple surgeries, you’ll need to take it easy and let your body have time to heal.
