Expert Insights from Dr. Jason Tomsic, Board-Certified Cosmetic Surgeon and Surgical Director of The Skin Center
Motherhood changes everything — your priorities, your schedule, and your body. It can also bring lasting physical changes that affect how comfortable some women feel in their post-pregnancy bodies. In Pittsburgh, many turn to Dr. Jason Tomsic, a board-certified cosmetic surgeon at The Skin Center, for a mommy makeover surgery — a personalized cosmetic procedure designed to help restore pre-pregnancy confidence and contours. According to Dr. Tomsic, timing plays a key role in achieving the most natural and lasting results.
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover isn’t a single cosmetic surgery procedure; it’s a customized combination of body-contouring surgeries designed to address the most common post-pregnancy concerns. At The Skin Center in Pittsburgh, mommy makeover surgery is tailored to your individual needs and goals. Depending on your anatomy and desired results, Dr. Jason Tomsic, board-certified cosmetic surgeon, may recommend a combination of:
- Breast Augmentation and/or Breast Lift: Restores fullness after breastfeeding and reshapes and lifts sagging breasts back to a more youthful position.
- Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Tightens separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) and removes stretched or excess skin for a smoother, firmer midsection.
- Liposuction: Targets stubborn fat deposits around the abdomen, hips, thighs and other areas more resistant to diet and exercise.
- Buttock Lift or Thigh Contouring: Occasionally included to further enhance body proportions
What makes a mommy makeover so effective is its comprehensive approach designed to address multiple areas of the body in one surgery to achieve natural-looking, balanced, and lasting results.
How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost?
When performed at The Skin Center’s surgical center in Pittsburgh, mommy makeover cost is typically in the range of $15,000 to $25,000. This price range reflects the highly personalized nature of mommy makeover surgery. Because no two mommy makeovers are alike, you’ll receive a comprehensive, all-inclusive quote during your surgical consultation with Dr. Tomsic. The quote will include everything from surgical fees reflecting the specific combination of surgeries you choose, such as tummy tuck, breast augmentation or lift, liposuction or buttocks or thigh lift to anesthesia, facility time and compression garments. The Skin Center offers flexible financing options as well, making it easier to plan your mommy makeover with confidence.
Mommy Makeover: Things to Consider
Address Changes Before They Progress
The sooner you address post-pregnancy changes, the easier they are to correct. Over time, skin loses elasticity, abdominal muscles may separate further, and breast tissue continues to sag due to gravity. Once it is decided that family planning is complete, choosing to have a mommy makeover gives women the best chance to achieve the tone and shape they desire.
Improved Healing and Surgical Outcomes
Younger, healthier tissue tends to not only heal better but also responds better to surgery. Women who choose a mommy makeover earlier often experience a faster recovery, less visible scarring, and more predictable long-term results. These factors also help women return to their active lifestyles more quickly
Boosting Confidence and Emotional Well-Being
Motherhood changes everything – including how you feel about yourself. Many women struggle with body confidence after pregnancy, even while thriving in every other area of life.
Dr. Tomsic’s patients often share that their mommy makeover brought more than just a physical transformation, it helped them feel like themselves again. That renewed confidence often radiates through every part of life, from family activities to social events and personal self-care.
Planning Around Future Family Goals
A mommy makeover is best performed once you’ve completed your family, since future pregnancies can reverse the results. Dr. Tomsic advises patients to carefully plan the timing of their mommy makeover based on long-term family goals to ensure lasting results.

Choosing the right time for a mommy makeover can make all the difference in achieving the best possible results.
