Being a mom is one of life’s greatest rewards, but unfortunately the process isn’t always rewarding to our bodies. That’s where Hunstad Kortesis Plastic Surgery + MedSpa comes in. Their Mommy Makeovers — a series of procedures you can customize to target your problem areas — can reverse the toll pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding can take on your body.
We asked Dr. Gaurav Bharti what we need to know before booking a Mommy Makeover.
SCOOP: What are the most popular procedures / procedure combos for moms?
DR. BHARTI: There are a variety of procedures performed for a Mommy Makeover, and the choice of procedures ultimately depends on the mother’s goals.
Common combinations are a tummy tuck with a breast lift/reduction or breast augmentation, or a tummy tuck with liposuction of the hip rolls (a.k.a. “muffin top”). Sometimes clients will add on a procedure like vaginal rejuvenation, facial resurfacing treatments, or fat grafting to buttocks or breasts. The list is variable because in the end, a mommy makeover is any procedure that will restore our patients with a sense of femininity and confidence.
SCOOP: Who would be a good candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
DR. BHARTI: Good candidates would be those who have completed their process of having children, and who have gotten back to a steady state of overall health, wellness, and weight.
SCOOP: Do clients get a price break for doing a “mommy makeover” package versus booking several procedures separately?
DR. BHARTI: There is a price break for multiple procedures at one time. Typically there’s a multiple procedure surgeon fee price break, and there are cost savings related to the facility and anesthesia fees by putting all the procedures in one operative setting versus breaking them apart.

Dr. Bharti told us moms seek out Mommy Makeovers because they want to get their confidence back, and after so much time spent taking care of others, it’s a great chance to do something simply for themselves.
“The process of having children and pregnancy is extremely taxing both mentally and physically, and a mommy makeover allows moms to get a part of themselves back,” Dr. Bharti said.
Patients generally say they’re happier and more confident — and sometimes they say they look even better than before they had kids.
The staff at HK works with patients to pick the procedures that will achieve their goals, so you won’t have to worry that you aren’t making the right choices for your body. Dr. Bharti also said he and his staff are experts on body contouring because they perform an extremely high volume of these procedures in their office. They only use board-certified MD anesthesiologists and have pioneered methods for combination body contouring surgeries in a safe, and highly predictable fashion.
“But most importantly, we are not happy until our patients are happy,” Dr. Bharti said.
