Pregnancy and motherhood can change your body in lasting ways. A Mommy Makeover helps restore your shape and confidence with a personalized plan designed around you.
A Mommy Makeover combines procedures like breast surgery and tummy tuck to restore your body after pregnancy.
Plan for 1–2 weeks of downtime, with most patients returning to normal routines by 6 weeks.
A more sculpted, confident silhouette that reflects how you feel on the inside—strong, balanced, and yourself again.
Restore volume and shape lost after pregnancy or breastfeeding with implants tailored to your goals and body.
Sculpt and smooth areas where fat tends to linger—like the hips, abdomen, or thighs—with refined precision.
Remove loose skin and repair stretched abdominal muscles for a tighter, flatter midsection. Without the pain of having drains, you will be up walking just hours after the surgery with less pain.
Reduces sagging skin on the upper arms—especially after weight loss or aging—giving you firmer, more sculpted arms.
Removes excess skin or fat along the upper or lower back, helping to smooth rolls and improve comfort in clothing.
Ready to feel great about your body again? A Charlotte mommy makeover can help you get back the firm, youthful body—and self-confidence—you had before you had children with only one recovery period. And the changes you make are up to you—we’ll listen and work together to design your personalized body sculpting treatment plan.
Each mommy makeover in Charlotte, NC, is unique to the individual and no two mommy makeovers are exactly alike.
Some of our patients want larger, fuller breasts than they had before, while others are happy with their breasts but want to address sagging skin on their bellies.
It’s finally time for you. We want you to have the best result and the best recovery. That’s why we offer an overnight stay with a private nurse for most of our patients who choose a mommy makeover.
Cosmetic surgery is about you, not a procedure. That’s why Dr. Ditesheim approaches things differently. You’ll never hear him say you “need” a procedure. He’ll go over all of your options; you choose how to proceed. And this approach works! Just ask our happy patients.

“Dr. Ditesheim is beyond amazing. I was treated kindly every step of the way, by each of the staff I encountered. I had so many questions throughout and was worried I was being a bother so often, but they were always so helpful and understanding…”
“Dr. Ditesheim is an artist! He did all I had asked for and more. He not only removed all of my excess fat from my abdomen and back, he actually added some of my own fat back into areas I had asked for. My hands, my breast and even my face. He is very gentle and professional at all times. I could not recommend him more highly.”
“My consultation was a wonderful one-on-one experience. Dr. Diteshiem showed a real interest with my concerns and was eager to make me feel comfortable. I never felt rushed and all my questions were answered.”
Recovery varies from person to person, but here’s a general overview of what you can expect during your breast reduction healing process:
You’ll need help with everyday tasks for the first few days. Swelling and soreness are normal and expected.
Plan for 1–2 weeks of downtime. By week two, many patients are able to resume light activities.
Most patients return to full activity, including workouts. Swelling continues to fade and your shape becomes more defined.
Your new contours have taken shape and most swelling has resolved. Many “after” photos are taken around this point.
You can expect to see final results around the one-year mark. Scars fade and your body feels more like your own again.

There are many factors that go into determining whether you are a good candidate for a mommy makeover. Typically women who have decided not to have more children will be better candidates, as results will likely be maintained longer without another pregnancy. However, due to the customizable nature of the mommy makeover, almost any woman who feels uncomfortable with the shape of her body after pregnancy may be a good candidate, as long as she’s in good physical and mental health. It’s a good idea to wait at least 6 months since you’ve had your baby or after weaning, and to have reached and maintained your pre-pregnancy weight for several months before getting a mommy makeover.
The procedures that will be performed in your mommy makeover will depend on your personal needs and goals.nnBreast augmentation can restore volume to deflated breasts, or boost your cup size for a curvier look.nA breast lift may be best for those women whose breasts sit low or have taken on a saggy, droopy appearance.
