Correct breasts & abdomen after pregnancy – mommy makeover at Dr. Nichlos
Pregnancy, birth and subsequent breastfeeding is one of the most exciting phases in a woman’s life. Not only emotionally, but also physically. The female body undergoes a multitude of changes during this time. The most obvious of these is certainly the growth of the breasts and the baby bump. Both regress after birth and weaning. However, due to the strong stretching of the connective tissue, the body does not always succeed in doing this completely, so that many women are left with stubborn fat deposits, a sagging abdominal wall or sagging breasts.
A Mommy Makeover in Frankfurt offers the opportunity to reverse the effects of pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding on the female body, helping women to regain a more positive body image. Depending on individual needs, Dr. Nichlos combines various procedures and treatments to achieve a harmonious overall result. Make an appointment now for a no-obligation consultation!
What is a Mommy Makeover?
Like so many trends in plastic and aesthetic surgery, the Mommy Makeover treatment principle originated in the USA. It is a combination of several procedures or treatments that women who have recently had a baby prefer. The Mommy Makeover aims to reverse the changes caused by pregnancy and childbirth (also known as the “after-baby body” or “post-baby body”) with the help of plastic and aesthetic surgery so that women feel comfortable in their bodies again.

Mommy Makeover Specialist in Frankfurt
Dr. Emmanouil Nichlos has specialized in mommy makeover treatments for over 17 years and has extensive experience in combining aesthetic procedures following pregnancy.
Through individually tailored procedures, Dr. Nichlos restores the body’s natural shape and achieves harmonious, feminine results. During the healing phase, patients who have recently undergone surgery receive personalized care, and Dr. Nichlos is available at any time if needed.
What are the reasons for a Mommy Makeover in Frankfurt?
During pregnancy and the birth of a child, the female body performs at its best. This inevitably leaves its mark in the form of various physical changes, which unfortunately do not all disappear after the birth and breastfeeding.
Even a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and plenty of exercise does not always lead to the desired success in the recovery process. Some women therefore feel uncomfortable, ashamed of their sagging stomach, excess pounds on their hips, stretch marks or sagging breasts, for example, and want their original figure and former body image back.
A mommy makeover can help with this and boost your well-being and self-confidence by restoring or optimizing your body contours as accurately as possible. The exact procedures required for this vary from person to person and Dr. Nichlos will be happy to discuss them with you personally.
What treatments are included in a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover can consist of different procedures, which Dr. Nichlos combines into an individual treatment concept based on the needs determined during the preliminary consultation. Typical procedures that are performed during a Mommy Makeover are
Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
During a tummy tuck, excess skin and fat are removed from the lower abdomen and the abdominal muscles are tightened (often after rectus diastasis). The navel is often also moved during a tummy tuck.
Breast lift (mastopexy)
During a breast lift, excess skin is removed from the breasts, the breast tissue is tightened and, if necessary, the shape and/or position of the nipples is corrected. If you wish, a breast lift can be combined with a breast augmentation or reduction.
Breast augmentation (with implants or autologous fat)
Breast augmentation can be used to compensate for lost volume in the breast. Depending on individual preferences and the extent of the desired augmentation, Dr. Nichlos uses various techniques (implants or autologous fat).
Breast reduction
Not every woman’s breast volume decreases after pregnancy. Sometimes the breasts remain large due to hormonal changes and can cause discomfort. This can be remedied with a breast reduction. This involves removing glandular tissue, fat and skin from the breast to reduce its volume and weight. This can give the breast a new shape and lift it overall.
Liposuction
Liposuction can be used to remove stubborn fat deposits from problem areas such as the stomach or hips. The procedure serves to improve the body silhouette, but is no substitute for weight loss. You should therefore have reached your ideal weight beforehand.
Labiaplasty
The natural birth of a child also has an effect on the genital area. Sometimes, for example, the labia become stretched. In a labiaplasty, the labia minora (rarely the labia majora) are shortened or reduced in size. This procedure in the genital area not only optimizes aesthetics but also eliminates discomfort such as unpleasant rubbing.
What happens before a Mommy Makeover in Frankfurt?
Before a Mommy Makeover, a personal consultation with Dr. Nichlos is very important. We invite you to our practice in Frankfurt for this purpose. During the appointment, the specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery will carry out a preliminary examination. The subsequent consultation is about finding the most suitable procedures and treatments for you and checking whether the requirements for a mommy makeover are met. These include completed family planning, a stable body weight and realistic expectations of the result. During the consultation, Dr. Nichlos will also explain the exact procedure and what you need to pay attention to before and after.
Mommy Makeover Frankfurt: How does the procedure work?
For your Mommy Makeover, come to the Berger Clinic in Frankfurt. We often perform several procedures in one session, but staggered treatment over several appointments is also possible. Depending on the type and extent of the procedure, a clinic stay of 1-3 days is advisable.
The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes 3-5 hours on average. The exact procedure varies depending on which procedures (e.g. tummy tuck, breast surgery, intimate surgery) are to be performed in which areas of the body and which techniques are to be used. Of course, you will receive detailed information on this in the individual consultation and preparatory discussions with Dr. Nichlos.
What happens after the Mommy Makeover in Frankfurt?
After the procedure, you should allow yourself at least 1-2 weeks to recover and take it easy physically. Please take this into account in your planning and it is best to organize help with childcare during this time. You will usually be able to socialize again afterwards, but you should make sure you have good aftercare.
The healing phase and specific aftercare depends on the type of procedure. As a rule, you will need to wear compression garments (e.g. a compression girdle or a compression bra/support bra) for the first 4-8 weeks. The compression garment supports healing and stabilizes the result. Additional lymphatic drainage may be advisable. Avoid physical exertion, sport and heavy lifting or carrying during this time.
Please be sure to attend the follow-up appointments at our specialist practice in Frankfurt so that Dr. Nichlos can monitor the progress of the healing process.
Are there any risks with the Mommy Makeover in Frankfurt?
As with any surgical procedure under general anesthesia, there are general surgical and anesthetic risks with a mommy makeover. These include post-operative bleeding, wound healing disorders and infections. However, these complications during the healing process are very rare if the procedure is carried out professionally and in accordance with strict hygiene standards.
In rare cases, there may be (temporary) sensory disturbances in the chest or abdomen. Bruising and swelling are more common in the surgical area, but these are also usually only temporary and will soon subside.
Mommy Makeover in Frankfurt: Costs & Financing
How much does a mommy makeover cost?
The cost of a mommy makeover cannot be determined as a flat rate, as this treatment consists of several procedures tailored to the individual. Depending on the patient’s specific situation, the treatment may include, for example, a tummy tuck, breast surgery, or liposuction.
The total price therefore depends primarily on the scope of the surgery, the number of procedures, and the length of the hospital stay. Following a personal examination, Dr. Nichlos will create a customized treatment and cost plan that is precisely tailored to your wishes and physical condition.
During the consultation, you will receive a transparent overview of all cost items for the planned mommy makeover.
What services are included in the price?
The total cost of a Mommy Makeover consists of several medical services. These typically include:
- detailed consultation (€100 – fully credited toward subsequent treatment)
- physical examination and personalized treatment plan
- surgical procedures performed by a board-certified plastic and aesthetic surgeon
- medical care during the operation
- post-operative care and follow-up appointments
Depending on the extent of the surgery, the following additional costs may apply:
- Anesthesia (general anesthesia)
- Hospital stay
- Compression garments or special medical clothing
For procedures performed at our partner clinics, these services are billed directly by the respective clinic.
Can a Mommy Makeover be financed?
Since a Mommy Makeover often combines several surgical procedures, the treatment can involve higher costs. For this reason, there is generally also the option of financing through monthly installments.
Financing is provided by an external financing partner and can be structured flexibly, depending on your credit rating. This allows you to conveniently pay for the treatment in monthly installments.
We would be happy to provide you with detailed information about financing options during a personal consultation.
Frequently asked questions
about the Mommy Makeover:
- When is the best time for a mommy makeover?
A Mommy Makeover should take place at the earliest 6-12 months after the last pregnancy – and only after complete weaning. The desired weight should also have already been reached. Ideally, family planning should be complete so that subsequent pregnancies do not change the result again.
- What does a Mommy Makeover involve?
The Mommy Makeover is not a fixed surgical package, but is put together individually. Common combinations are: Tummy tuck, breast lift or augmentation, liposuction and labiaplasty if necessary. Dr. Nichlos will work with you to put together a suitable treatment plan.
- Will there be visible scars after a mommy makeover?
As these are surgical procedures, scars are inevitable. However, the incisions are made as inconspicuously as possible – for example in the bikini line or underbust crease. With the right care, the scars fade considerably over time.
- How long does the recovery time take after a Mommy Makeover?
This depends on the extent of the operation. As a rule, you should expect to take 2-3 weeks off work. Sport and physically strenuous activities are usually possible again after 6-8 weeks. You will receive individual recommendations during your consultation.
- Can I get pregnant again after the Mommy Makeover?
Yes, pregnancy is still possible. However, family planning should be completed, as a new pregnancy can significantly change the result – especially on the abdomen and breasts.
- Are there any risks with the Mommy Makeover?
As with any surgical procedure, there are general risks such as secondary bleeding, infections or wound healing disorders. Swelling, numbness or scarring can also occur. Dr. Nichlos will provide you with comprehensive information about all risks during your consultation.
- Can I see before and after pictures?
By law, no before and after pictures may be shown on the website. However, Dr. Nichlos will be happy to show you examples of completed treatments during a personal consultation.
- When can I do sports again?
Depending on the procedure, sporting activity is possible again after around 6-8 weeks. Light movements such as walking can usually be started after a few days. Important: no strain on the abdominal or chest muscles in the early healing phase.
- How do I find out if a Mommy Makeover is right for me?
During a personal consultation, Dr. Nichlos will discuss your wishes, physical requirements and possible treatment combinations. We will also check whether a Mommy Makeover is currently sensible and medically justifiable for you.
- What should I bear in mind after the operation?
After the procedure, you should take it easy physically, wear special compression garments and make sure you sleep on your back. Dr. Nichlos will discuss the exact aftercare recommendations with you individually.
