Mommy Makeover in Cologne
Pregnancy is a very wonderful thing and for many parents, the birth of a child is the happiest time in the world. The body performs true miracles during this time. However, a woman’s body inevitably changes during and after childbirth.
Skin, muscles and connective tissue are stretched and lose their elasticity. Fat deposits form and so-called stretch marks can also develop. Mothers often complain of sagging skin on the stomach and legs, sagging breasts after breastfeeding and changes are also possible in the genital area. This process is completely natural and should not cause you any concern. Many signs of pregnancy will disappear on their own over time.
Some changes, on the other hand, are permanent. It is important that you do not put yourself under pressure despite the physical changes and only consider surgery if you have made a personal decision to do so. If you no longer feel comfortable in your body and want your former figure back, a mommy makeover may be the right choice.
The Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures specifically designed to address the problem areas of postpartum mothers. The result of a mommy makeover is a firmer, more youthful and aesthetic body and a new attitude to life.

What is a Mommy Makeover?
The term Mommy Makeover comes from the USA and means rejuvenation or beautification and is aimed specifically at women who are no longer satisfied with their body after pregnancy. The aim of such a makeover is to correct all external and some internal changes after giving birth. We want to help you feel better about your body and improve your quality of life. We achieve this goal by combining plastic and aesthetic surgery procedures on different parts of the body. These include:
- Breast Lift or breast augmentation
- Abdominoplasty
- Buttock lift or Brazilian butt lift
- Liposuction
- Intimate surgery
The procedures can be combined individually according to your needs and wishes. Many patients combine two to three procedures, which are then performed together in one session. We speak of a “Total Mommy Makeover” when all procedures are combined in one operation.
What are the Advantages of a Mommy Makeover?
The combination of different procedures results in many advantages for you. All procedures are bundled together in one operation:
- Harmonious, fast and aesthetic overall result
- Only one general anesthetic necessary
- Shorter downtimes compared to several operations
- Cost and time savings
- Overall shorter healing phase, as wounds heal simultaneously
- Elimination of negatively perceived physical changes
- Increased self-confidence
- Different “blemishes” are removed at the same time
Mommy Makeover – Common Procedures
Breast Lift & Breast Augmentation
One of the most popular procedures after pregnancy is a breast lift or breast augmentation. This is because for many women, firm and voluminous breasts are the epitome of femininity and aesthetics. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the breasts usually change and initially become larger. They then often lose volume and appear empty. With breast augmentation with implants or breast augmentation with autologous fat, we can help you to achieve beautiful, firm and voluminous breasts.
Breastfeeding and pregnancy often cause the breasts to lose their elasticity. The skin, connective and mammary gland tissue is stretched during pregnancy and subsequently loses its elasticity. The loss of elasticity sometimes means that the connective tissue no longer retracts properly and the breasts begin to sag.
Sagging breasts can have a very negative effect on a woman’s self-confidence and also put a strain on the psyche. With a breast lift, you can regain firm and beautiful breasts. A combination of breast lift and breast augmentation is also possible.
Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
The abdomen also often loses elasticity during pregnancy. If the abdominal wall skin and connective tissue can no longer retract properly due to the loss of elasticity, it becomes wrinkled and begins to hang limply. As after a major weight loss, excess skin remains. The abdominal muscles can also be pulled apart by the stretching and lose their symmetry.
With a tummy tuck, we can eliminate several problems at the same time. Excess skin and fat are removed, the abdominal muscles are fixed along the abdominal midline and caesarean scars can be removed.
The result of a tummy tuck is a flat, firm and symmetrical abdomen without wrinkles and dimples. The lateral flanks of the abdomen are also tightened, resulting in a slim waistline.
We also perform other body tightening procedures. For example, you can also combine thigh lifts or upper arm lifts.
Buttock lift & Brazilian butt lift
The buttocks also often change after pregnancy, as the connective tissue there also loses its elasticity and fat deposits form. This leads to sagging, drooping skin, dimples and cellulite and can also result in a loss of volume in the buttocks.
A firm and voluminous bottom is an ideal of beauty and symbolizes youthfulness. Flabby, sagging buttocks can be a major burden for mothers. Certain items of clothing such as short skirts can no longer be worn and you feel uncomfortable in the sauna or swimming pool.
During a buttock lift, we remove excess skin and fatty tissue. This significantly tightens the buttocks and gives them a beautiful, symmetrical shape. We recommend this procedure especially for sagging buttocks.
The Brazilian butt lift is particularly suitable if your bottom has lost volume and you would like a round, plump bottom. In this procedure, we remove your own fat, which is then processed and injected into the gluteal muscles to shape the buttocks according to your wishes.
Liposuction
After giving birth, stubborn fat deposits can form in various places – often on the stomach, thighs or upper arms. Even with exercise and a good diet, it is very difficult to get rid of these fat deposits.
With liposuction, we can safely and specifically remove excess fat from problem areas. The result is a flat stomach as well as slim and beautifully shaped legs or arms. The removed fat can then be used for an autologous fat transfer, for example to the breasts.
Intimate Surgery
After giving birth, a woman’s intimate area may also change. The body is sometimes subjected to severe stress and also suffers injuries. The labia minora can enlarge and lose symmetry. Labia minora that are too large can not only be an aesthetic “blemish”, but can also lead to problems during sport and pain. A labia reduction can help here.
The birth canal can widen during childbirth and may no longer fully regress. This often leads to a loss of pleasure. A vaginal tightening can surgically narrow the vagina so that you feel more sensation during sexual intercourse again.
We can also remove scars in the genital area caused by an episiotomy, for example.
You can find more information on the individual procedures on the various pages right here on our homepage. If you have any further questions, please arrange an individual consultation.
Mommy Makeover – Treatment
It is difficult to make a concrete statement here, as the treatments can vary greatly depending on the combination chosen. In any case, you will receive all the information about the preparation and the exact course of treatment in an individual consultation.
Mommy Makeover – Aftercare
Choosing the right follow-up treatment depends heavily on the combination of procedures you have chosen. The spectrum ranges from outpatient procedures under local anesthesia to hospital stays lasting several days and operations under general anesthesia. During your individual consultation, we will tell you exactly what you need to bear in mind during aftercare. We will draw up a treatment plan for you with precise recommendations to ensure that the healing process proceeds quickly and without complications.
Mommy Makeover – Impressive results
Depending on the procedure, you may be able to admire the first results immediately. Other procedures require some time to unfold their full change. As it depends on which combination of treatments you choose, the results will vary accordingly. As a rule, however, you can expect the following changes:
- The breasts are lifted, firmed and gain volume
- The stomach becomes flat and firm again, the waist is narrowed
- The buttocks are tightened, more voluminous and rounder
- Excess fat is reduced
- The entire silhouette appears more harmonious, proportional and youthful
- The intimate area is rejuvenated and pain causes are eliminated
- Overall, the body is rejuvenated, toned and the figure improved
With modern 3D technology, it is possible to model the expected result. This allows you to get an idea in advance of what the changes might look like for you.

Frequently asked Questions about the Mommy Makeover
You probably have a lot of questions about the Mommy Makeover. To make your decision easier, we will answer the most common ones below. However, please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. You are welcome to arrange an initial, non-binding consultation at the PALMKLINIK.
What does a Mommy Makeover cost?
The costs must be calculated individually, as they depend on your wishes and the chosen combination of procedures. You should expect costs from €8,000.
What are the risks of a mommy makeover?
As with all surgical procedures, there is a certain residual risk with the Mommy Makeover. As a reputable clinic, we would like to inform you of all risks, even if the likelihood of them occurring is very low, and at the same time allay your fears.
Risks:
- Postoperative bleeding
- Bruising
- Numbness in various parts of the body
- Circulatory and wound healing disorders
- Thromboses and embolisms
- Injuries to nerves and blood vessels
- Complications of general anesthesia
What procedures are available for the Mommy Makeover?
In theory, all procedures on areas of the body that undergo changes due to pregnancy are suitable. However, some procedures can be combined better than others. Liposuction, for example, can be combined very well with breast surgery, a tummy tuck or a Brazilian butt lift.
- Breast lift
- Breast augmentation
- Abdominoplasty
- Other body lifts
- Buttock lift
- Brazilian Butt Lift
- Liposuction and fat transfer
- Intimate surgery
How many Mommy Makeover procedures to combine?
Theoretically, as many procedures as you wish can be performed. It is very advantageous to combine several operations into one. However, the total duration of the operation should not exceed a certain time threshold, as general anesthesia should not be maintained for too long and increased blood loss must be expected if too many operations are performed at the same time. It is assumed that the operation will take approximately 6 hours, which should not be exceeded.
When is a Mommy Makeover possible after giving birth?
A Mommy Makeover is only possible around 12-18 months after the birth. Under no circumstances should a Mommy Makeover be carried out immediately after the birth or during the puerperium. The body needs time to regenerate and injuries must first heal.
Breast surgery is not advisable during breastfeeding, as the mammary glands need time to fully regenerate.
A body lift or liposuction should also only be carried out after the natural regeneration phase of around 12-18 months, as some of the physical changes caused by pregnancy will regress on their own during this time.
