Correcting breasts & abdomen after pregnancy: mommy makeover with Dr. Nichlos
Pregnancy with childbirth and the breastfeeding period that follows is one of the most exciting phases in a woman’s life. Not only emotionally, but also physically. The female body goes through a multitude of changes during this time. The most obvious is certainly the growth of the breasts and the baby bump. Both recede after birth and weaning. Because of the strong stretching of the connective tissue, however, the body does not always manage this completely, so many women are left with stubborn fat deposits, a lax abdominal wall or sagging breasts.
A mommy makeover in Frankfurt offers the possibility of correcting the effects of pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding on the female body and thus helping women regain a more positive body image. Depending on individual needs, Dr. Nichlos combines various procedures and treatments to achieve a harmonious overall result. Schedule an appointment for a non-binding consultation now!
What is a mommy makeover?
The treatment principle of the mommy makeover comes from the USA, like so many trends in plastic and aesthetic surgery. It is a combination of several procedures or treatments, most often requested by women who have recently had a baby. The mommy makeover aims to correct the changes caused by pregnancy and childbirth (also called 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. Dr. Nichlos offers the mommy makeover at his practice in Frankfurt. Our guide Tummy tuck vs. mini tummy tuck explains the difference between the classic and the mini tummy tuck.

What are the benefits of a mommy makeover in Frankfurt?
Specialist for mommy makeover in Frankfurt
Dr. med. Emmanouil Nichlos has specialized in mommy makeover treatments for over 17 years and has extensive experience in combining aesthetic procedures after pregnancy.
With individually tailored techniques, Dr. Nichlos can restore the natural body shape and achieve harmonious, feminine results. Dr. Nichlos personally looks after freshly operated patients. In the first 24 hours after the operation, he is available to them for questions or problems.
What are the reasons for a mommy makeover?
During pregnancy and the birth of a child, the female body performs at its peak. This inevitably leaves its traces in the form of various physical changes, not all of which unfortunately recede after birth and breastfeeding.
Even a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and plenty of exercise does not always lead to the desired success in this recovery. Some women therefore feel uncomfortable and are, for example, embarrassed about their sagging abdomen, excess pounds on the hips, stretch marks or sagging breasts, and wish for their original figure and former body image back.
A mommy makeover can help here and, through the most exact possible restoration or optimization of your body contours, strengthen your well-being and self-confidence. Which procedures are needed for this varies from person to person, and Dr. Nichlos will gladly discuss this with you personally at his practice in Frankfurt.
What treatments are part of a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover can consist of different procedures, which Dr. Nichlos puts together into an individual treatment plan based on the needs identified in the initial consultation. Typical procedures performed in a mommy makeover in Frankfurt are:
Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
In a tummy tuck, excess skin and fat are removed from the lower abdomen and the abdominal muscles are tightened (often after diastasis recti). In a tummy tuck, the belly button is also often repositioned.
Breast lift (mastopexy)
In a breast lift, excess skin on the breasts is removed, the breast tissue is tightened and, if needed, the shape and/or position of the nipples is corrected. If you wish, the breast lift can be combined with a breast augmentation or reduction.
Breast augmentation (with implants or fat transfer)
A breast augmentation can restore volume that the breasts have lost. Depending on your individual preferences and the extent of the desired augmentation, Dr. Nichlos uses different techniques for this (implants or autologous fat).
Breast reduction
Not every woman’s breast volume decreases after pregnancy. Sometimes the breasts stay large because of hormonal changes and can be bothersome. A breast reduction can improve this. Glandular tissue, fat and skin are removed from the breast to reduce its volume and weight. This can give the breast a new shape and lift it overall.
Liposuction
With liposuction, stubborn fat pads in problem areas such as the abdomen or hips can be removed in a targeted way. The procedure improves the body silhouette, but it does not replace weight loss. You should therefore have already reached your ideal weight beforehand.
Labia correction
Natural childbirth also affects the intimate area. Sometimes, for example, the labia become stretched. In a labia correction, the inner (rarely the outer) labia are shortened or reduced. This procedure in the intimate area can not only improve aesthetics but also reduce discomfort such as unpleasant chafing.
What happens before the mommy makeover?
Before a mommy makeover, a personal consultation with Dr. Nichlos is very important. For this, we invite you to our practice in Frankfurt. At the appointment, the specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery performs a preliminary examination. The conversation that follows is about finding the procedures and treatments that suit you and checking whether the prerequisites for a mommy makeover are met. These include completed family planning, a stable body weight and realistic expectations of the result. In the consultation, Dr. Nichlos also explains the exact procedure and what you need to pay attention to before and afterward.
Mommy makeover in Frankfurt: How does the procedure work?
For your mommy makeover, you come to our affiliated private clinic in Frankfurt. We often perform several procedures in one session, but staged treatment over several appointments is also possible. Depending on the type and extent of the procedure, a hospital stay with 1 to 2 overnight stays makes sense.
The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes 2 to 4 hours on average. The exact course varies depending on which procedures (e.g. tummy tuck, breast surgery, intimate surgery) are to be performed in which body regions and which techniques are used. Of course, you will receive detailed information on this in the individual consultation and preparation appointments with Dr. med. Nichlos.
Healing after the mommy makeover: What to keep in mind
After the procedure, you should allow yourself at least 1 to 2 weeks of recovery and physical rest. Please keep this in mind in your planning, and it is best to arrange help with childcare for this time. After that, you are usually socially presentable again, but you should pay close attention to good aftercare.
The healing phase and the specific follow-up treatment depend on the type of procedure. As a rule, you need to wear a compression garment (e.g. a compression girdle or a compression bra/support bra) for the first 4 to 6 weeks. The compression clothing supports healing and stabilizes the result. Additional lymphatic drainage may be useful. During this time, avoid physical exertion, sports, and heavy lifting or carrying.
Please be sure to attend the follow-up appointments at our specialist practice in Frankfurt so that Dr. Nichlos can monitor the progress of healing.
What are the risks of a mommy makeover?
As with any surgical procedure under general anesthesia, a mommy makeover carries the general surgical and anesthesia risks. These include postoperative bleeding, wound healing disorders and infections. When performed professionally according to strict hygiene standards, however, these complications are very rare during healing.
In rare cases, (temporary) sensory disturbances in the breast or abdomen can occur. More often, bruising and swelling form in the surgical area, but these are usually only temporary as well and soon subside.
How much does a mommy makeover cost in Frankfurt?
What is included in the price?
The total cost of a mommy makeover is made up of several medical services. These usually include:
- detailed consultation (€100, fully credited if you go ahead with the treatment)
- physical examination and individual treatment planning
- surgical procedures by the specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery
- medical care during the operation
- aftercare and follow-up appointments
Depending on the extent of the operation, the following costs may also apply:
- Anesthesia (general anesthesia)
- Hospital stay
- Compression garments or medical specialty clothing
For procedures at our partner clinics, these services are billed directly by the respective clinic.
The cost of a mommy makeover cannot be set as a flat amount, as this treatment consists of several individually combined procedures. Depending on your starting situation, a tummy tuck, breast surgery or liposuction, for example, may be part of the treatment.
The total price therefore depends mainly on the extent of the operation, the number of procedures and the length of the hospital stay. After a personal examination, Dr. med. Nichlos prepares an individual treatment and cost plan that is tailored exactly to your wishes and physical prerequisites.
During the consultation, you receive a transparent overview of all cost items of the planned mommy makeover.
Can you finance a mommy makeover?
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 in monthly installments.
Financing is handled through an external financing partner and, depending on your creditworthiness, can be arranged flexibly. This allows you to conveniently settle the treatment with a monthly installment.

Frequently asked questions about the mommy makeover in Frankfurt
When is the best time for a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover should take place no earlier than 6 to 12 months after your last pregnancy, and only after you have completely stopped breastfeeding. You should also have already reached and stabilized your desired weight. Ideally, your family planning is complete, so that later pregnancies do not change the result again.
Will visible scars remain after a mommy makeover?
Since these are surgical procedures, scars cannot be avoided. However, the incisions are placed as inconspicuously as possible, for example in the bikini area or the inframammary fold. With the right care, the scars fade noticeably over time.
How long is the recovery time after a mommy makeover?
That depends on the extent of the surgery. As a rule, you should plan on 10 to 14 days off. Sports and physically strenuous activities are usually possible again after 4 to 6 weeks. You will receive individual recommendations directly in the consultation.
Can I get pregnant again after the mommy makeover?
Yes, pregnancy is still possible. Nevertheless, your family planning should be complete, as another pregnancy can significantly change the result, especially in the abdomen and breasts.
Can I look at before-and-after pictures?
By law, no before-and-after pictures may be shown on the website. In a personal consultation, however, Dr. Nichlos will gladly show you examples of completed treatments.
How much does a mommy makeover cost in Frankfurt?
There is no fixed price, because a mommy makeover consists of several procedures that Dr. Nichlos puts together based on your findings. The price depends on the extent of the operation, the number of procedures and the length of the hospital stay. After the examination, you receive a binding cost estimate. The consultation costs €100, which is credited if you go ahead with the treatment.
Does health insurance cover a mommy makeover?
Dr. Nichlos has no statutory health insurance accreditation and bills exclusively privately, so you bear the costs yourself. A mommy makeover is generally an aesthetic procedure that statutory health insurance does not cover. Whether a private insurer reimburses costs in an individual case is best clarified with your insurer in advance. Financing in monthly installments is possible.
What weight should I be at before a mommy makeover?
A stable body weight is a prerequisite: you should already have reached and be maintaining your desired weight before surgery. Liposuction as part of the mommy makeover does not replace weight loss. Dr. Nichlos will check in the consultation whether the prerequisites are met in your case.
Is a tummy tuck enough for me, or do I need a mommy makeover?
If the changes after pregnancy affect only the abdomen, a tummy tuck alone may be an option. If your breasts, hips or other areas are also affected, Dr. Nichlos combines several procedures into a mommy makeover. If excess skin after major weight loss is present in several places, the page on skin tightening after weight loss will help.
