01 The short answer
What is a mommy makeover with liposuction?
A mommy makeover is a combination of procedures that address common changes after pregnancy. At De:light it is built around liposuction — belly, waist, flanks, thighs or arms — often combined with fat transfer to the breasts or hips using your own fat.
Combining areas in one plan means one anesthesia and one recovery period. Dr. Seonghun Kim designs the plan around your goals, body and timing — usually at least 6 months after delivery and after breastfeeding. Where loose skin or abdominal muscle separation is significant, he will tell you honestly that a tummy tuck may be needed. Incisions are closed with the De:MIS internal suture .

02 Is it right for you?
An honest answer first — even if it's "no."
We would rather tell you mommy makeover liposuction isn't the right tool than sell you a surgery you don't need.
Usually a good fit
- Several areas changed after pregnancy
- Finished breastfeeding and weight is stable
- Would like more volume in breasts or hips
- Prefer one combined recovery
Other options may suit you
- Planning another pregnancy soon
- Less than about 6 months since delivery
- Major loose skin or muscle separation (tummy tuck may suit)
- Large weight loss still planned
