A mommy makeover combines multiple body contouring procedures in a single surgical session to restore your pre-pregnancy figure. Korea has become a premier destination for this comprehensive approach, offering package pricing that delivers significant savings compared to having each procedure separately in Western countries.
What Is Included in a Mommy Makeover?
The typical mommy makeover in Korea includes a customized combination of:
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty): Removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles
- Breast lift (mastopexy) or augmentation: Restores breast shape and volume
- Liposuction: Sculpts stubborn fat deposits (flanks, thighs, arms)
Additional procedures that can be added include breast augmentation with implants, arm lift, thigh lift, or labiaplasty.
Package Pricing in Korea
| Package | Korea (USD) | USA (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic (tummy tuck + breast lift) | $8,000 - $13,000 | $15,000 - $25,000 |
| Standard (+ liposuction 2 areas) | $10,000 - $16,000 | $18,000 - $30,000 |
| Premium (+ breast augmentation + full lipo) | $14,000 - $20,000 | $25,000 - $40,000+ |
Ideal Timing After Pregnancy
- Wait at least 6 months after finishing breastfeeding
- Weight should be stable for at least 3-6 months
- Most surgeons recommend waiting 12+ months after delivery
- Best if you do not plan future pregnancies (pregnancy can reverse results)
Recovery Plan for International Patients
Mommy makeover has the longest recovery of any cosmetic procedure combination. Plan your trip carefully:
- Week 1: Bed rest at recovery accommodation; drain management; assistance needed for daily activities
- Week 2: Light walking encouraged; stitches and drains removed; significantly less pain
- Week 3: Safe to fly home; still wearing compression garment
- Week 4-6: Return to desk work; no heavy lifting
- Month 3: Resume exercise gradually
- Month 6-12: Final results visible
We recommend a minimum 2-3 week stay in Korea for mommy makeover patients.
Arranging Childcare
Since mommy makeover requires significant recovery time, arrange childcare before your trip. Many of our patients travel with a partner or family member who can help during the initial recovery phase. Some also choose to combine the trip with a family vacation in Korea.
