What is a Non-Surgical Mommy Makeover?
Restore Confidence Post-Pregnancy—No Surgery Required
A non-surgical mommy makeover requires a completely different treatment plan, including no surgery and no downtime whatsoever. The mommy makeover changes patient to patient, depending on the problem areas you want to treat postpartum. Most moms are after a treatment plan that can correct or change any issues a woman might have as a result of pregnancy. Depending on the results you are looking to achieve, your non-surgical mommy makeover might include any of the following:
-
- Coolsculpting – CoolSculpting removes fat from a variety of areas of the body, including the lower abdomen. This is the most popular treatment for women post-pregnancy looking to eliminate the patch of stubborn fat located in the lower abdomen area. The treatment can remove up to 25 percent of the fat in an area. The treatment takes around an hour per area and results usually appear in about 16 weeks.
- Fraxel – One of the tells that a woman has had a baby is the appearance of stretch marks on the abdomen or surrounding areas. Treatment with a non-ablative laser, such as Fraxel, can help to minimize the appearance of those marks. The sooner the treatment is applied to stretch marks, the better the results will be. This treatment can also help with the development of melasma that may occur post-pregnancy.
- EMSculpt– Some women have a hard time finding time to workout, especially after they have kids. Others might find that they no longer have the time they had before. EMSculpt can produce the same, if not better, results than most workouts in only 30-minute sessions. EMSculpt is also found to combat diastatis recti, a condition that affects an estimated 1 in 2 women postpartum. The ab muscles separate during pregnancy, resulting in a “pooch” on the abdomen. EMSculpt can strengthen the muscles, train the pelvic floor, and result in 96% patient satisfaction.
-
- Skin Tightening – It is very common for moms to experience loose or sagging skin post pregnancy. The skin tightening treatment can smooth away wrinkles and fine lines with a gentle tightening of your tissue. The treatment is usually spaced out over weeks, which allows you to book your appointments around your busy schedule.

How Does a Non-Surgical Mommy Makeover Compare?
For most women, this treatment plan does not require any needles, recovery or downtime and minimal time spent away from your kids. After a tummy tuck, many women have to dedicate at least two weeks to recovery. This can result in having to find a babysitter for the kids, potentially taking time off from work, and otherwise putting your kids lives on pause while you recuperate.
In contrast, non-surgical treatments like CoolSculpting, Fraxel, EMSculpt and Skin Tightening treatments typically don’t require any downtime whatsoever.
A non-surgical and traditional mommy makeover also differs considerably in terms of what they can do. A tummy tuck trims away excess, loose skin, which might be left after childbirth. For the most part, non-surgical mommy makeover treatments help correct other areas of concern a mom might have after giving birth, such as unwanted fat, sagging or loose skin, and scarring.
Is a Non-Surgical Mommy Makeover for Me?
As with a traditional or non-surgical mommy makeover it is best to wait until after you’ve finished having kids to schedule any treatments. Future pregnancies may cause your original problem areas to reoccur, such as stretch marks or unwanted fat.
