Mommy Makeover in Albany NY
Mommy Makeover Overview
Restore Breast And Body Shape With A Plan Built Around Your Anatomy.
A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of breast and body procedures designed to restore shape, proportion, and confidence after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight change, or aging.
When the abdomen and waist are part of the plan, the DeLuca CoreComplete™ system identifies whether you need fat reduction alone, fat reduction with skin removal, or the full combination of liposuction, skin removal, and abdominal-wall plication.
Breast volume, shape, and position.
CoreComplete 1™, 2™, or 3™ based on fat, loose skin, and abdominal-wall support.
Waist, flanks, abdomen, hips, back, and overall body shape.
Breast surgery plus the appropriate CoreComplete™ level, combined or staged.
Real Patient Results
What this Mommy Makeover before-and-after shows.
This example shows how a Mommy Makeover can improve breast shape, abdominal contour, and overall body proportion when procedures are planned together. The goal is not simply to change several areas at once, but to create a more balanced, natural-looking result.
Breast Shape
Volume, position, and proportion may be restored with augmentation, lift, or lift with implants.
Abdominal Contour
Loose skin may be improved with CoreComplete 2™, while CoreComplete 3™ also addresses abdominal-wall laxity when plication is needed.
Body Proportion
Liposuction and combined planning can refine the waist, flanks, abdomen, and overall balance.
Not sure which procedures you actually need?
A photo review can help clarify whether your concerns are breast volume, breast position, loose abdominal skin, stubborn fat, or a combination.
Your Consultation
Clear recommendations without pressure.
Your consultation is designed to give you a clear understanding of your options. Your surgeon will review your goals, medical history, breast anatomy, abdominal skin, muscle tone, fat distribution, scar considerations, and recovery needs.
You will also review before-and-after photos of patients with similar concerns. This helps clarify whether your best plan is breast surgery alone, one of the three CoreComplete™ pathways, a combined Mommy Makeover, or a staged approach.
At the end of your consultation, you will receive a written estimate outlining the full cost of surgery, including the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, and facility fees.
Your Options
Pair the right breast procedure with the right CoreComplete™ level.
Mommy Makeover surgery is not one-size-fits-all. The right combination depends on your anatomy, goals, recovery needs, and whether it is safer to combine procedures or stage them separately.
CoreComplete 1™
Lipo 360 contours the abdomen, waist, flanks, and back when fat is the concern and skin removal or muscle plication is not needed.
CoreComplete 2™
Combines liposuction with mini, full, or extended skin removal when loose abdominal skin also needs correction.
CoreComplete 3™
Adds abdominal-wall plication to liposuction and skin removal when muscle weakness or separation contributes to bulging.
Breast Augmentation
Restores lost breast volume with implants when appropriate.
Breast Lift
Raises and reshapes sagging breast tissue and nipple position.
Breast Lift + Augmentation
Combines a lift with implants when both breast position and lost upper-pole volume need correction.
The Mommy Makeover describes the combined breast-and-body plan; CoreComplete™ defines the abdominal component. Not every patient needs every component, and some patients are safer or better served by staging their procedures.
Typical Investment Range
How much does a Mommy Makeover cost?
Mommy Makeover pricing varies widely because it is a combination procedure. The total cost depends on whether the body plan is CoreComplete 1™, 2™, or 3™ and whether it is paired with breast augmentation, breast lift, breast lift with implants, or other procedures.
Breast Augmentation + CoreComplete 2™ or 3™
$12,000–$18,000+
Example financing scenario: ~$560–820/mo*
Breast Lift + CoreComplete 2™ or 3™
$18,000–$24,000+
Example financing scenario: ~$820–1,080/mo*
Breast Lift + Implants + CoreComplete 2™ or 3™
$19,500–$26,000+
Example financing scenario: ~$890–1,170/mo*
*These examples represent combinations that include abdominal skin removal. The selected CoreComplete™ level and mini, full, or extended extent can change the final quote. Financing scenarios are estimates only and are based on financing the listed surgeon fee range. Total surgical cost may also include anesthesia, facility fees, implants, garments, prescriptions, lab work, or other procedure-specific expenses. Actual approval, interest rate, repayment term, and monthly payment vary.
Your written quote will reflect your anatomy, goals, surgical time, anesthesia, facility needs, implants when applicable, garments, prescriptions, and whether your procedures are combined or staged.
Recovery Timeline
What to expect after a Mommy Makeover.
Recovery depends on the procedures included. CoreComplete 1™ generally involves a different recovery than CoreComplete 2™ with skin removal or CoreComplete 3™ with skin removal and plication. Combining any level with breast surgery may also increase recovery demands.
Many patients return to light activity or desk work, depending on comfort and the procedures performed.
Moderate exercise may resume gradually when healing is progressing appropriately and your surgeon clears you.
Most patients can return to full activity and heavy lifting once cleared by their surgeon.
Swelling continues to improve and scars mature gradually over time.

Patient Perspective
What patients often say mattered most.
Many Mommy Makeover patients are deciding between breast surgery alone, CoreComplete 1™ Lipo 360, CoreComplete 2™ or 3™, or a more complete combined plan. These are the kinds of concerns that often come up before surgery.
“I wanted to know if I really needed all of these procedures or if a smaller plan would be enough.”
Common decision point“I was most worried about safety, recovery, scars, and how much help I would need at home.”
Common concern“Seeing similar body types helped me understand what was realistic.”
Common reassuranceStill deciding whether a combined plan is too much?
A photo review can help clarify which breast option and CoreComplete™ level—if any—belong in your plan, or whether staging or waiting makes more sense.
Common Patient Concerns
What patients usually worry about before a Mommy Makeover.
Most patients considering a Mommy Makeover are not only thinking about results. They are also thinking about safety, scars, recovery time, childcare, cost, implants, and whether procedures should be combined or staged.
The surgical plan is built around your health, anatomy, operative time, and recovery support.
Scars depend on the procedures performed. CoreComplete 2™ and 3™ include a skin-removal incision; breast lift and augmentation have their own incision patterns.
Recovery is usually most involved when CoreComplete 3™ plication is included.
Some patients can combine procedures safely; others are better served with a staged plan.
Honest Guidance
When a Mommy Makeover may not be the right choice.
A Mommy Makeover can be a powerful way to address breast and body changes together, but it is not the best answer for every patient. Good planning means being honest about safety, timing, recovery support, and whether a combined or staged approach makes the most sense.
Who may not be a good candidate?
Mommy Makeover surgery may not be ideal if you are planning more pregnancies soon, recently finished breastfeeding, are actively smoking or using nicotine, have unstable weight, or have medical issues that make a longer combined procedure less safe.
Tradeoffs to consider
A Mommy Makeover may involve multiple scars, a longer recovery, temporary activity restrictions, possible drains, implant considerations, and the need for help at home.
When surgery may not be worth it
If your concerns are mild, your weight is still changing, recovery support is limited, or your goals can be met with a smaller procedure, a full Mommy Makeover may be more surgery than you need.

If you are unsure whether a full Mommy Makeover is worth it, whether a smaller procedure would be enough, or whether staging is safer, start with a private consultation or photo review.
Risk Transparency
What can go wrong — and how we plan for it.
Every surgery carries risk, especially when multiple procedures are combined. The goal is to reduce risk through careful patient selection, appropriate procedure planning, reasonable operative time, anesthesia planning, and close postoperative follow-up.
- Healing issues: Incision care, activity restrictions, and follow-up visits help monitor early healing.
- Fluid collection: Drains, compression, and follow-up may be used when appropriate.
- Scarring: Incisions are planned strategically, but scar quality depends on biology, tension, and aftercare.
- Asymmetry or contour irregularity: Some unevenness can occur as swelling settles and tissues heal.
- Staged planning: If a combined plan is too extensive, staging may be safer and more predictable.

Mommy Makeover FAQ
What is included in a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover pairs the breast procedures you need—augmentation, lift, or both—with the appropriate body plan. That may be targeted liposuction, CoreComplete 1™ Lipo 360, CoreComplete 2™ with skin removal, CoreComplete 3™ with plication, or no abdominal procedure.
How much does a Mommy Makeover cost?
For combinations that include CoreComplete 2™ or 3™, common surgeon fee examples include breast augmentation around $12,000–$18,000+, breast lift around $18,000–$24,000+, and breast lift with implants around $19,500–$26,000+. The selected CoreComplete™ level and mini, full, or extended extent can change the quote. Total cost may also include anesthesia, facility fees, implants, garments, prescriptions, lab work, and other procedure-specific needs. Visit the pricing page for current guidance.
What are patients most worried about before a Mommy Makeover?
Common concerns include safety, scars, recovery time, childcare, cost, implants, and whether procedures should be combined or staged.
What can go wrong after a Mommy Makeover?
Possible issues include bleeding, infection, fluid collection, delayed healing, scarring, asymmetry, sensation changes, contour irregularity, implant-related concerns, or need for revision surgery.
Can a Mommy Makeover be done in one surgery?
Sometimes. A Mommy Makeover can often be performed in one operation for properly selected patients, but some patients are better served by staging procedures for safety, recovery, or predictability.
Does every Mommy Makeover include a tummy tuck?
No. The abdominal portion is selected independently. Some patients need CoreComplete 1™ Lipo 360, some need CoreComplete 2™ skin removal, some need CoreComplete 3™ with plication, and others do not need abdominal surgery at all.
Do I need a breast lift, implants, or both?
Implants restore volume, while a breast lift improves breast and nipple position. Some patients need implants alone, some need a lift alone, and others benefit from a breast lift with implants. If you are unsure which category you fall into, read our guide: Do I need a breast lift or just implants?
Many patients are also concerned about future breastfeeding after breast augmentation. Learn more in our article: Can I Breastfeed After Breast Augmentation?
Can liposuction be part of a Mommy Makeover?
Yes. Targeted liposuction may be added to selected areas. When circumferential abdomen, waist, flank, and back contouring is the abdominal plan, it is organized as CoreComplete 1™ Lipo 360 or incorporated into CoreComplete 2™ or 3™.
How long is Mommy Makeover recovery?
Recovery depends on the procedures included. Many patients return to light activity or desk work within several days, moderate exercise around 2–3 weeks, and full activity or heavy lifting around 6–8 weeks when cleared by their surgeon. A plan that includes CoreComplete 3™ plication or combined breast surgery may require individual adjustments.
Is it safe to combine procedures?
Combining procedures can be safe for properly selected patients when the surgical plan, operative time, anesthesia plan, and recovery support are appropriate. Some patients are better served by staging procedures.
When is the best time to have a Mommy Makeover?
Many patients choose surgery when they are finished with pregnancy or breastfeeding, near a stable weight, healthy enough for surgery, and able to arrange recovery help at home. Patients who notice breast deflation or sagging after pregnancy often wonder whether they need implants, a lift, or both. Our article on breast lift after pregnancy and breastfeeding explains the differences.
If future breastfeeding is an important consideration, you may also find our article helpful: Breastfeeding After Breast Augmentation.
How do I know if I need a tummy tuck or just liposuction?
CoreComplete 1™ Lipo 360 is the fat-only pathway. CoreComplete 2™ adds mini, full, or extended skin removal when laxity is present. CoreComplete 3™ adds plication when abdominal-wall weakness or separation contributes to bulging. Consultation determines which components are actually needed.
