COSMETIC PROCEDURES: BODY SURGERY
Mommy Makeover
Transform your post-pregnancy body with a Mommy Makeover. Dr. Aycock combines key procedures, such as breast surgery, tummy tuck (including diastasis repair), liposuction and labiaplasty to address the changes brought on by pregnancy and childbirth. Restore your figure and feel like yourself again.
WHY WOULD SOMEONE GET A
MOMMY MAKEOVER?
Motherhood is a beautiful journey, but it can take a toll on your body. Many women find that diet and exercise alone cannot restore their pre-pregnancy figure. A Mommy Makeover addresses these changes, helping you:
- Restore Breast Volume and Shape: Reverse sagging and volume loss with breast augmentation or lift.
- Tighten Abdominal Muscles: Repair diastasis recti and achieve a flatter abdomen with a tummy tuck.
- Remove Excess Fat: Eliminate stubborn fat deposits with liposuction.
- Address Stretch Marks: Remove stretch marks located on the lower abdomen.
As the mom of two girls, Dr. Aycock understands the unique challenges of motherhood and is committed to helping you regain your confidence. She goes out of her way to provide an easier and faster recovery that you can manage with young children.

HOW IS A MOMMY MAKEOVER PERFORMED?
A Mommy Makeover is a personalized surgical plan, tailored to your specific needs and goals. During your consultation, Dr. Aycock will assess your areas of concern and discuss the most appropriate procedures.
Often, this will include breast surgery to address size changes and sagging. Depending on your situation, this could involve a breast augmentation, breast lift, or even a breast reduction. To target stretched abdominal muscles and extra skin that won’t go away, or the annoying “C-section shelf” a tummy tuck with diastasis repair is often performed. Additionally, liposuction can smooth out lumps and bumps around your muffin top or bra line, creating a more contoured silhouette. For those with post pregnancy enlargement of labia in the vaginal area, a labiaplasty can restore comfort and appearance.
Dr. Aycock prioritizes your safety and comfort throughout the entire process. She will explain the surgical techniques, potential risks, and expected outcomes, ensuring you are well-informed. Post-operative care instructions will be provided to support your healing and recovery.

Mommy Makeover Timing & Other Concerns
Many moms worry about how their past surgeries or future plans might affect a Mommy Makeover. Rest assured, a previous C-section or hysterectomy won’t complicate your results. In fact, we can often improve the area, smoothing out any lingering scars or excess skin. We understand you might also be concerned about future pregnancies. While it’s possible to have more children after a Mommy Makeover, especially a tummy tuck, it’s best to wait until your family is complete. This helps ensure you get the most lasting results and avoid needing further revisions.
Timing after your last child is also important. Ideally, it’s best to wait about a year after giving birth before considering a Mommy Makeover. This allows your body to stabilize and recover. It’s also crucial to be finished breastfeeding at least 6 months before a breast surgery. And remember, it’s never too late! Even if your children are grown, a Mommy Makeover can help you reclaim your pre-pregnancy figure and confidence.
We know scars can be a big worry too. Yes, there will be some scarring, but we’re committed to minimizing them. Dr. Aycock uses careful techniques, and we’ll guide you on how to best care for your incisions afterward. Our goal is to make any scars as fine and discreet as possible, so you can feel confident and happy with your new look.
I had a large diastasis from my third pregnancy and significant amounts of extra skin. Dr. Aycock came highly recommended to me from medical colleague of mine. She took the time to answer all my questions and even recommended I wait on the surgery until my son was old enough to not need as much help. She wanted to set me up for a successful recovery rather than get the surgery done quickly. I appreciated that honesty. Dr. Aycock and her assistant Tracy were so helpful in the days leading up to the surgery and all the questions that came about in my recovery. I am really happy with the results and thankful I was able to have this done!
I couldn't recommend Dr. Aycock and her team any more highly - she really is a miracle worker! I had a wonderful experience from start to finish. I had put off the procedures for about 12 years and am so glad I finally made the decision to go ahead with surgery. My postoperative recovery was exactly as Dr. Aycock described - no surprises at all. Her office team is fantastic and wonderfully supportive. (They also turn around paperwork very quickly which makes things nice!) My anesthesiologist and OR team were also great - it was clear they had worked together for years. I could not be more pleased with how things went. Five stars - no question!
Dr. Aycock and her team have been amazing; if you're family, you know how hard it can be to find a supportive medical team. Dr. Aycock was kind and considerate; I truly felt she and her staff cared for my wellbeing and results. I'm currently a month post-op, and I feel and look amazing. My results are better than I could have hoped and I had no complications during my recovery. Dr Aycock and her staff repeatedly told me to call with any questions and really reinforced that they were available at any time, for any reason. I would recommend Dr Aycock to any family members seeking treatment.
Dr. Aycock is a fantastic surgeon. I have worked with her for over a decade and have witnessed firsthand what a skilled and thoughtful surgeon she is. She listens and provides open and honest feedback to help patients receive the best possible outcomes. She does not tell patients they can achieve unrealistic results, which is something I find very admirable. She has an artist's eye for beauty and the human form, and she holds herself to the highest possible standards. I would recommend her without hesitation. -Natanya Zweifler, RN BSN
I am so glad to have found Dr. Aycock and her team. I had visited with other surgeons for years (literally) and was unsure if I should proceed -- met with brevity and confusion around the process. As soon as I met with Dr. Aycock and her kind and caring team, it was evident she was the right person to do my surgery. From day one, everyone from her team has been the utmost in kind, caring and professional-- from her office PAs and assistance, to the nurses, PAs and anesthesiologist at the surgery center -- and Dr. Aycock herself. They helped navigate questions with insurance and answered all of my pre-op questions. Plus they have a pretty slick app with amazing videos and information so I had all the answers at my disposal. It was straightforward, professional and best of all -- the results were amazing. I couldn't be happier. This is one of the best things I could have done for myself. I recommend this practice with as many stars as there are to give, plus five more! Thank you.
I underwent an extensive elective cosmetic surgery with Dr. Aycock 7 weeks ago and she has exceeded my expectations. As a Dermatogy PA, I was extremely concerned about my incisions and scarring prior to the procedure, but all of my scars are exquisite and almost unnoticeable. I was also a difficult case requiring special consideration and skill to repair. Again, my outcome has forever impacted my life and my confidence has been restored! I felt like Dr. Aycock carefully listened to my concerns during my consultation and everything was addressed to a tee. As a medical provider in this community, I made an educated decision to become Dr. Aycock’s patient and will forever refer my patients to her. Her experience as both a plastic and reconstructive surgeon place her in a class above the rest. She is a very meticulous, caring, and skillful surgeon that I will always be thankful for.
