None of the surgeries included in a mommy makeover are considered weight-loss surgeries. Losing weight can be frustrating after pregnancy, but Muse Plastic Surgery suggests you first try to trim down with diet and exercise — the reason being that the surgeries included with mommy makeover are designed to eliminate stubborn pockets of fat rather than excess fat that could come off with a healthy lifestyle. The closer you are to your goal weight, the more successful your mommy makeover is likely to be in achieving your ideal body contours.
