A Mommy Makeover is a combination of cosmetic surgery procedures aimed at restoring the appearance of a woman's body after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. It typically includes a tummy tuck, breast surgery (such as augmentation, lift, or reduction), and liposuction, among other possible procedures tailored to meet the individual's goals.
Be it stretch marks or less than perky breasts, flabby tummies or thicker thighs, uneven complexions, or adult acne, the physical changes a new mom encounters may leave you feeling uncomfortable about your body. With an understanding of how a lack of confidence in your appearance can undermine how you feel, Denver board-certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Buford can help you reclaim your "Before Baby Body" with a completely personalized mommy makeover.
Dr. Buford developed Before Baby Body to help rebuild the confidence new moms may lose after having a baby. A strong advocate of nutrition and exercise, Dr. Buford admits that sometimes diet and exercise alone can't shed the unwanted fatty deposits formed after pregnancy, nor can a healthy lifestyle firm up flattened breasts. The Before Baby Body procedure expands on the traditional mommy makeover (including a breast procedure, liposuction, and tummy tuck) to include other aesthetic and skin treatments.
When pregnancy results in the build-up of stubborn fat in the tummy and thigh areas and loss of volume in the chest, Gregory A. Buford, MD, FACS, PCEO, believes the right balance of smart eating, exercise, and customized nips and tucks can help to counteract the impact of pregnancy and childbirth on a woman's body.
Offering a personalized approach, Dr. Buford works with you to determine your specific needs and develop a customized plan that leaves you looking and feeling beautiful. Your mommy makeover may include services such as:

Our team of experts will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and goals.

A mommy makeover can be a transformative journey for mothers who wish to restore their pre-pregnancy bodies and reclaim their confidence. At BEAUTY by BUFORD, we understand the unique challenges faced by mothers like you. That’s why we’re committed to providing comprehensive solutions so you can restore your youthful appearance and enjoy other key benefits of a mommy makeover, including:
A mommy makeover combines multiple procedures tailored to your specific concerns, such as breast rejuvenation, tummy tuck, and liposuction. This comprehensive approach allows for a holistic transformation, targeting multiple areas of the body affected by pregnancy and childbirth.
Breastfeeding and hormonal changes can lead to breast volume loss and sagging. A mommy makeover can include breast augmentation or lift to restore fullness, improve breast shape, and enhance your overall body contour.
Pregnancy can stretch the abdominal muscles and cause excess skin and stubborn fat deposits. A tummy tuck as part of a mommy makeover can tighten the abdominal muscles, remove excess skin, and eliminate unwanted fat, resulting in a flatter and more toned abdomen.
Dr. Buford can incorporate liposuction into your mommy makeover to remove stubborn pockets of fat in areas such as your hips, thighs, or arms. By contouring these areas, you can achieve a more balanced and sculpted physique.
The physical and emotional changes that come with motherhood can take a toll on your self-confidence. A mommy makeover can help you regain your pre-pregnancy body, enhance your overall body image, and boost your self-esteem, allowing you to feel more confident and comfortable in your skin.
Ideal candidates for a Denver mommy makeover are women in good general health, at a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes. It's recommended for those who have completed their families, as future pregnancies can affect the results.
The first few weeks post-surgery are critical for recovery and when your body needs the most care. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common but manageable with prescribed medication. Prioritize rest and follow Dr. Buford’s advice on wound care for the best results.
During this period, avoid strenuous activities and lifting heavy objects, including small children. Compression garments might be recommended to support the healing tissues and reduce swelling.
Focus on a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins to support tissue repair and manage inflammation. Stay well-hydrated to promote overall health and aid in recovery. Avoiding alcohol and smoking is paramount, as these can hinder the healing process.
With a new baby and a growing family, finding the time for plastic surgery can prove to be a challenge. The complete Before Baby Body suite of services blend together to bring the best possible results with the least amount of downtime.
In addition, Dr. Buford's whole-body Responsible Contouring Program takes into account nutritional factors that may either help or hinder your early healing. A carefully selected panel of labs will be drawn approximately two weeks before your surgery to assess your nutritional status and your ability to heal after your procedure.
Any deficiencies will be addressed through either changes in your diet or supplementation as necessary, and you will be connected with an experienced nutritionist who will help guide you through the process. These same labs will then be drawn after your surgery to ensure your body is finely tuned and optimized for the best results.
Dr. Buford is one of the only plastic surgeons who examines lifestyle factors and nutrition to help patients achieve optimal results. His passion for healthy living was developed from his personal interest in healthy living, his experience as a Men's Physique Competitor, and the changes he saw in his own body as a result of changes to his diet.
Recovery time varies based on the specific procedures performed and the individual's health. Generally, most women can return to work and light activities within 2-3 weeks, but full recovery and the ability to resume all activities, including strenuous exercise, may take 6-8 weeks or longer.
Pain and discomfort are expected after surgery, but they can be managed with prescribed pain medication. The intensity of pain varies from person to person and decreases significantly within the first few days post-surgery.
As with any surgery, there are risks, including bleeding, infection, scarring, and complications related to anesthesia. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Buford and following pre- and post-operative instructions can minimize these risks.
The results of a mommy makeover can be long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Aging and gravity will eventually affect your body, but the improvements from the surgery will still be noticeable.
Yes, a mommy makeover can be combined with other procedures. However, combining multiple surgeries can increase the risk of complications and the overall recovery time. It's essential to discuss the benefits and risks with Dr. Buford during your consultation.
The cost of a mommy makeover varies widely depending on the surgeon's experience, the geographic location, and the specific procedures included. It's important to understand that these surgeries are typically not covered by insurance, as they are considered elective.
Preparation for Denver mommy makeover surgery includes having a comprehensive medical evaluation, adjusting your current medications, avoiding smoking and taking certain medications that can increase bleeding, and arranging for help during the recovery period.
While you'll notice changes immediately after surgery, swelling and bruising can obscure the final results. It typically takes several months for the swelling to fully subside and up to a year for the scars to mature and fade.
