At our Arlington Heights surgical center, we understand that pregnancy changes your body in ways that diet and exercise alone can’t address. Led by Dr. Leon Forrester Tcheupdjian and our expert surgical team, we’ve helped countless mothers restore their confidence through personalized mommy makeover procedures that combine multiple treatments for comprehensive body restoration.
Understanding Mommy Makeover Surgery
A mommy makeover at our Arlington Heights facility addresses the most common post-pregnancy concerns in a single surgical session. During your consultation at our 1700 W Central Road location, we’ll create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Abdomen and Body Contouring
Your abdomen might need both muscle repair and skin removal through tummy tuck surgery. Many mothers discover that their abdominal muscles have separated during pregnancy, creating a persistent bulge that exercise can’t fix. Our surgical team can repair these muscles while removing excess skin and stretch marks. Many patients also choose to combine this with liposuction to achieve optimal body contouring results.
Breasts
Breast changes from pregnancy and breastfeeding often require a combination approach. Whether you’ve lost volume, developed sagging, or find yourself uncomfortable with enlarged breasts, we offer breast augmentation solutions (including breast reduction) to restore your confidence.
Facial Rejuvenation
Beyond body contouring and breast enhancement, some mothers choose to complete their transformation with facial rejuvenation procedures. Options like dermal fillers and skin tightening treatments can help restore a youthful, refreshed appearance to complement your new body contours.
Your Consultation Experience
When you visit our Arlington Heights facility, we take time to understand your specific concerns and goals. During this thorough consultation, we’ll walk through each potential procedure, explaining how it addresses your concerns. You’ll receive detailed information about costs, including all surgical, facility, and anesthesia fees upfront. Our team believes in complete transparency, helping you make an informed decision about your mommy makeover journey.
Real Recovery Expectations
Recovery after mommy makeover surgery requires planning, especially for mothers with young children. Most patients return home the same day after their 3-6 hour surgery. You’ll need two weeks away from work for initial recovery. While each mother’s experience differs, most resume light activities within this timeframe. The first week focuses on rest and healing, with walking being your primary activity. Having help with childcare is essential, as lifting restrictions prevents picking up small children for several weeks.
Complete recovery takes about six weeks, though you’ll continue to see improvements for several months as swelling resolves and tissues settle. Many of our patients find they drop one to two dress sizes after recovery, enjoying better-fitting clothes and renewed confidence in their appearance.

Common Questions About Mommy Makeover Recovery
At our Arlington Heights location, patients often ask:
“What should I consider when planning my recovery?”
Recovery requires careful planning, especially with children. You’ll need support at home for at least two weeks, particularly with lifting and childcare. Most patients return to driving and light activities after two weeks, with full activity resuming around six weeks post-surgery.
“When can I return to my normal routine?”
While each recovery differs, most patients return to work within two weeks. Light exercise can resume at 4-6 weeks, with full workouts starting around 8 weeks. Our team provides detailed guidelines based on your specific procedures and lifestyle.
“How will I manage follow-up appointments?”
Our Arlington Heights location at 1700 W Central Road offers convenient access and parking, making post-operative visits straightforward. We schedule follow-ups to monitor your healing and ensure optimal results.
“What kind of results can I expect?”
Many patients find they drop one to two dress sizes after recovery. While you’ll notice improvements immediately, final results develop over six months as the swelling resolves. Scars continue to fade for up to a year.
“How long will my results last?”
Results can last for many years with proper maintenance. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve your transformation. While future pregnancies are possible, they may affect your results, which is why we recommend waiting until you’ve completed your family.
