Motherhood transforms you but it doesn’t have to define your body on its own terms. Dr. Dora Evangelidou’s personalized Mommy Makeover in Dubai approach combines advanced surgery, body contouring, and functional recovery science to help you feel restored, confident, and deeply reconnected to yourself.
This comprehensive approach is designed to restore a woman’s body shape after pregnancy, addressing the physical changes and helping women regain their pre-pregnancy contours. These procedures are tailored to help women restore their confidence and body contours post-pregnancy, supporting women as they restore both their appearance and self-assurance.
A Mommy Makeover is a fully customized combination of cosmetic procedures, known as the mommy makeover procedures, designed for post-pregnancy body contouring and to restore your body after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. It addresses the most common physical changes women experience such as breast volume loss, abdominal laxity, fat accumulation, and excess loose skin while honoring your body’s natural beauty and function.
Unlike a one-size-fits-all approach, Dr. Dora’s Mommy Makeover plan is individually tailored to your goals, timeline, anatomy, and energy levels safely performed in one session or staged over time. As part of the overall approach, body contouring procedures are included to restore or enhance your body shape, focusing on areas like the abdomen and breasts.
The result is not just a restored shape but a renewed connection with your body and self. This transformation can also act as a powerful catalyst for embracing a healthier lifestyle offering motivation to engage in regular physical activity, make more conscious nutrition choices, and ultimately cultivate a sustained sense of physical and emotional well-being. Maintaining a healthy diet before and after the procedure is essential to optimize your results and support recovery.
Each transformation is tailored to your anatomy, lifestyle, and personal goals. Common procedures include:
Breast Surgery: Options for your breast procedure include aesthetic breast surgery, breast reduction, breast implants, and breast lifting. These address breast symmetry and restore lost volume, helping to achieve a balanced and natural appearance. Augmentation, Lift, Reduction, or PRESERVE® Breast Enhancement, are often combined with tummy tuck in a comprehensive Mommy Makeover in Dubai.
Lipo-Abdominoplasty: A signature tummy tuck with liposuction, including full tummy tuck and tummy tucks, is ideal for post-pregnancy abdominal reshaping using high-definition liposculpting. This procedure can address excess fat, stubborn fat, stubborn fat deposits, and remove stubborn fat, as well as correct separated abdominal muscles and stretched skin, especially after significant weight loss.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
Arm & Thigh Lifting for reshaping and tightening, helping to improve sagging skin and stretched skin.
Regenerative Injectables to enhance skin tone, texture, mild contouring, and improve the appearance of stretch marks.
Every step is performed with meticulous attention to tissue quality, scar positioning, and your body’’s unique post-pregnancy physiology. These are common procedures performed in a mommy makeover procedure, targeting fat cells and body contour irregularities.
Preparing for a mommy makeover is an essential step toward achieving the best possible results. Maintaining a stable weight and committing to a healthy lifestyle before surgery can greatly enhance both the safety and effectiveness of your transformation. Your plastic surgeon will review your medical history in detail and discuss your aesthetic goals to design a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your needs.
It’s important to follow your surgeon’s pre-operative instructions, which may include avoiding smoking and certain medications to promote optimal healing. Arranging for support during your initial recovery—such as help with daily activities and childcare—can make the process smoother and less stressful.
Attending all scheduled follow up appointments ensures your progress is closely monitored and any concerns are addressed promptly. By taking these preparatory steps, you set the stage for a safe, successful, and satisfying mommy makeover experience.
The recovery period following a mommy makeover varies depending on the specific procedures performed and your individual healing process. Most women can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the days following surgery, which can be managed with prescribed medications and proper care. Wearing compression garments and a support bra is often recommended to reduce swelling and support the healing of your new body contours.
During the first few weeks, it’s important to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting to allow your body to heal properly. Your plastic surgeon will provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow up appointments to monitor your recovery and ensure everything is progressing as expected.
With patience and attentive care, you’ll gradually see your results take shape, enjoying the full benefits of your mommy makeover as your body heals and your confidence grows.
This makeover is ideal for women who experience:
Loss of breast volume, sagging, or asymmetry after pregnancy or breastfeeding
Abdominal laxity, separated muscles (diastasis recti), accompanying umbilical hernia, or persistent fat
You have visible scarring, irregularities, or contour deformities from previous C-section incisions that you would like improved
Emotional disconnection from their body after motherhood
You are seeking not just a mommy makeover, but a holistic approach that prioritizes lifestyle improvement, fast recovery, enhanced healing, and scar optimization through the SOMA™ Protocol
Your recovery matters as much as your result. That’s why Dr. Dora integrates the SOMA™ Protocol, designed for patient safety and optimal mommy makeover recovery after mommy makeover surgery. The protocol is specifically created to support healing and comfort following your procedure.
Low-inflammation surgical response
Supplement-based immune and healing support
BioWell™ energy mapping and stress visualization
Optional IV therapy, lymphatic drainage, and scar optimization
Minimal or no antibiotic dependency
This is not just a recovery plan—it’’s a science-backed strategy to optimize healing, minimize downtime, and elevate your mommy makeover results. Following the protocol can help you achieve the best possible outcome after your mommy makeover surgery.
As with any surgical procedure, there are inherent risks that will be discussed thoroughly during your consultation. However, at our practice we go beyond standard testing and preoperative evaluations to proactively minimize risk. By carefully assessing your medical history, fitness level, and lab work, and by implementing the structured SOMAA™ recovery protocol, we further reduce the likelihood of complications and promote a safe, smooth healing process.
It depends on several important factors—including the total duration of the procedures, your overall fitness level, BMI, and any pre-existing conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure. At every step, our top priority is patient safety, followed closely by achieving optimal results and a smooth recovery. A Mommy Makeover should be a positive and empowering experience, not one that places undue strain on the body. When needed, procedures can be safely staged to ensure a more comfortable and effective outcome.
Ideally after breastfeeding and once your family is complete. Dr. Dora will guide you through the right timing during your consultation.
Most patients return to light activity within 10–14 days and resume full routines in 4–6 weeks—with faster, smoother recovery under the SOMAA™ Protocol.
Absolutely. Biostimulating injectables and energy-based tightening may be combined or used independently for those not ready for surgery.
Major procedures in a Mommy Makeover are typically performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation. The choice between general anesthesia and intravenous sedation depends on the specific procedures, your medical needs, and safety considerations. Your plastic surgeon will discuss the best option for your comfort and safety during your consultation.
A Mommy Makeover typically combines a tummy tuck, breast enhancement (augmentation, lift, or reduction), and liposuction. Other options may include arm or thigh contouring, vaginal or genital area rejuvenation, or fat grafting depending on the patient’s concerns and goals.
It is generally recommended to wait at least 6 months after childbirth and at least 3 months after stopping breastfeeding. This allows hormone levels, body weight, and breast tissue to stabilize for more predictable surgical results.
Yes, but it’s best to undergo the procedure after completing your family, as future pregnancies may stretch the skin and abdominal muscles again, potentially reversing the results.
Recovery time varies based on the number and type of procedures performed. Most women return to light activities within 10–14 days, with more strenuous activities resumed around 4–6 weeks. Dr. Dora’s SOMA™ Protocol supports faster healing, reduced inflammation, and scar minimization through holistic, evidence-based care.
Yes, but all incisions are strategically placed to be hidden under underwear or swimwear. Dr. Dora is renowned for her scar-minimizing technique, and post-op care includes targeted scar management treatments for best long-term aesthetic results.
Absolutely. Dr. Dora is among the very few certified surgeons offering MIA Femtech® (Minimally Invasive Aesthetics)and PRESERVE® Breast Augmentation, both of which are 15-minute procedures designed to minimize recovery time and avoid large incisions. These techniques allow safer and quicker combination with other surgeries in your makeover journey.
Not necessarily. While the term originated from postpartum transformations, any woman experiencing sagging skin, breast changes, or body contour concerns due to aging or weight fluctuations may benefit from a personalized Mommy Makeover plan.
By following a stable weight, balanced nutrition, and active lifestyle, your results can last for many years. Dr. Dora also provides personalized functional medicine guidance to help patients maintain energy, hormonal balance, and vitality post-surgery.
All procedures are performed at fully accredited surgical facilities in Dubai.
Each surgery is performed by the best cosmetic surgeon, an expert plastic surgeon, and a qualified cosmetic and aesthetic surgeon. A board-certified plastic surgeon performs all procedures to ensure safety, professionalism, and optimal results.
For international patients, optional concierge recovery services are available—including pre-surgery support, aftercare coordination, and healing-focused lifestyle tools.
To further enhance the results of your mommy makeover, non-surgical add-ons can be an excellent complement to your surgical procedures. Treatments such as skin tightening, non-invasive fat reduction, and facial rejuvenation can help refine your body contours and address areas that may not require surgery. These options are ideal for women seeking additional improvements or for those who prefer less invasive approaches to body contouring.
By incorporating non-surgical treatments into your mommy makeover plan, you can achieve a more comprehensive transformation and enjoy smoother, firmer skin and a refreshed appearance. Your plastic surgeon can recommend the best combination of surgical and non-surgical procedures to help you reach your aesthetic goals and maintain your results over time.
When considering a mommy makeover in Dubai, it’s important to understand the financial aspects of your transformation. The mommy makeover cost can vary widely based on the procedures performed, the expertise of your plastic surgeon, and the clinic’s location. On average, the cost starting from AED 80,000 to AED 150,000. Since a mommy makeover is considered an elective cosmetic procedure, insurance typically does not cover these expenses.
However, some clinics offer flexible financing options or package deals to help make your dream body more accessible. Dr Dora’s Practice offers flexible financing plans in collaborations with major banks here in Dubai and UAE.
During your consultation, your plastic surgeon will provide a detailed breakdown of the final cost and help you explore payment plans that fit your budget. Investing in a mommy makeover is not just about physical change—it’s about restoring your confidence and well-being for years to come.
