I asked my cardiologist about my heart murmur and he said it was safe. What exactly do you get with a mommy makeover? (Photo)

Nice job on getting clearance for surgery from your cardiologist. A mommy makeover is customized for each patient, so it’s not always the same. For example, one mommy makeover may just be a tummy tuck, while another may involve a tummy tuck, breast lift, breast augmentation and more. Since the term “mommy makeover” refers to any procedure that improves the appearance of a woman after she’s had children, a mommy makeover can include anything suitable for a particular patent. 
The first thing to do is to determine what issues you’d like to correct regarding your appearance. Do you want to improve your mid-section? Do you want larger breasts? Do you want rounder buttocks? After you’ve figured out what areas you’d like to target, you can then discuss your goals with a board certified plastic surgeon. Your surgeon will let you know if having multiple procedures is safe for you. For example, some surgeons do not like to perform a brazilian butt lift and tummy tuck at the same time, since it targets the front and back of your body. This makes the recovery period more difficult, since you won’t be able to rest on your front or back.

Hello and thank you for your question.  It will be important to obtain full cardiology clearance prior to surgery.   Based on your photograph, you are a
great candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction.  This can be done
through a low and short incision, all completely below the bikini line.  The belly button can be designed to look
natural and have no scars on the exterior. 
Your muscles can also be plicated resulting in a flat abdomen.  A breast lift can be performed at the same
time for improved shape and contour of your breasts. Make sure you specifically
look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this
surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.  The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.
