The Procedure

Restore The Body You Remember

Pregnancy and breastfeeding change the breasts and abdomen in ways that diet and exercise can't always reverse. A mommy makeover is not one operation but a personalized combination of procedures — most commonly a breast augmentation or lift together with a tummy tuck and liposuction — chosen for your body and your goals.

Combining procedures into a single plan means one recovery instead of several. At your consultation, Dr. Carlin will talk through which combination is safe and appropriate for you, and build the plan around the results you want.

Common Questions

Mommy Makeover, Answered


What is included in a mommy makeover?

A personalized combination — commonly a breast procedure (augmentation or lift) with a tummy tuck and/or liposuction — selected to address the specific changes of pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Can the procedures be done together?

Often, yes. Combining procedures into one operation means a single recovery. Dr. Carlin will advise what is safe and appropriate to combine for you.

Where is the surgery performed?

In our own private surgery center at the practice in West Columbia — not a hospital. The same team you meet at your consultation cares for you on the day of surgery and through recovery.

Do you accept insurance?

No. Carlin Plastic Surgery does not accept insurance. We accept cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and CareCredit financing.

What are your office hours?

Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The office is closed on Friday. After hours, surgical patients can reach Dr. Carlin through our answering service. Directions and contact details.

What happens at a first visit?

Every consultation is with Dr. Carlin himself. What to expect as a new patient, and what our patients say about the experience.

Patient Story
“I had a lot of sagging skin, stretch marks, and a messed-up belly button from having kids. I also wanted my breasts back to a pre-mommy look, and I couldn't have asked for a better doctor.”
