Mommy Makeover, Newport Beach
A mommy makeover is a combination of procedures chosen to address changes after pregnancy and breastfeeding, most often a tummy tuck, breast surgery, and liposuction. There is no fixed package. At your Newport Beach consultation, Tim Sayed MD examines each area, discusses which procedures fit your goals, and explains whether combining them in one operation or staging them is the safer plan for you.
Newport Beach consultations and follow-ups take place at 3991 MacArthur Boulevard, Suite 320, Newport Beach, CA 92660. Surgery is performed only in accredited operating rooms separate from both consultation offices, not at the MacArthur Boulevard office.

Tim Sayed MD built his practice around a simple idea: the surgeon you meet is the surgeon who operates and the surgeon who sees you through recovery.
What it is
Ask about combined procedures similar to the one proposed for you and how complications would be managed.
Where it is used
A combination of procedures, usually a tummy tuck, breast surgery, and liposuction, chosen to address changes after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Anesthesia
General anesthesia, as an outpatient or short-stay procedure. The length depends on the combination, usually three to six hours, done in one setting.
Downtime
Most people take about two to four weeks off, since the recovery combines a tummy tuck and breast surgery, and return to full activity by about six weeks as Dr. Sayed clears them.
Results
A flatter abdomen, restored breasts, and a slimmer waist in one recovery. The final shape shows as swelling settles over a few months, and a stable weight keeps it looking its best.
Who it suits
Adults who are done having children, near a stable weight, and in good health, bothered by post-pregnancy changes to the tummy, breasts, and waist. A consultation plans the right combination.
Why patients choose Tim Sayed MD
A mommy makeover carries the combined risks of each procedure: bleeding, infection, fluid collection (seroma), poor wound healing, numbness, scarring, asymmetry, changes in nipple or skin sensation, and contour irregularities. Longer combined operations and abdominal surgery raise the risk of blood clots in the legs or lungs, which can be serious. Implant-related risks apply if augmentation is included.
Combining procedures means one anesthesia and one recovery period, but longer operating time and a recovery that combines abdominal and breast healing. Staging spreads the surgery over two or more operations, with shorter individual procedures and separate recoveries. Your health, the length of the planned operation, and your goals determine which approach is safer.
If staging, fewer procedures, or reaching a stable weight first is the better path, Dr. Sayed will say so.
Questions worth asking:
- Which procedures address my concerns, and which could wait?
- Is combining them safe for me, or should they be staged?
- Where will the scars be?
- How much help will I need at home, and for how long?
- What does the quote include?
What it treats
Combining procedures means one anesthesia and one recovery period, but longer operating time and a recovery that combines abdominal and breast healing. Staging spreads the surgery over two or more operations, with shorter individual procedures and separate recoveries. Your health, the length of the planned operation, and your goals determine which approach is safer.
If staging, fewer procedures, or reaching a stable weight first is the better path, Dr. Sayed will say so.
A mommy makeover is not a weight-loss procedure and works best when you are near a stable weight. A future pregnancy can stretch the abdomen and change the breasts again, which is why it is usually planned after you are done having children. Timing after delivery and breastfeeding is individual; discuss it at your consultation rather than relying on a fixed number of months.
The procedures involved
• Tummy tuck in Newport Beach: removes loose skin and can repair separated muscle; leaves a low abdominal scar. • Breast lift in Newport Beach or breast augmentation in Newport Beach: restores position, volume, or both. • Liposuction in Newport Beach: refines the waist, flanks, or back. If implants are part of your plan, review the FDA-required boxed warning and patient decision checklist in the implant labeling with your surgeon. Implants are not lifetime devices, and further surgery may be needed.
The procedure
Ask to see cases that include the same procedures proposed for you. The same practice gallery is used for both offices; these are not location-specific results. Photographs are shared with patient consent and do not guarantee your outcome.

Your follow-ups are at the same MacArthur Boulevard office where you had your Newport Beach consultation. Ask when each examination is needed and how to reach the team outside office hours. The office hours above are not an emergency-care schedule.

Longer combined operations and abdominal surgery raise the risk of blood clots in the legs or lungs, which can be serious. Implant-related risks apply if augmentation is included.
Dr. Sayed lowers risk by planning the combination to your health, limiting operating time, sequencing the procedures well, and giving clear aftercare. He reviews your history at consultation so the plan fits you, and may recommend staging if combining is not ideal.

Cost and financing
Request a written quote for your specific combination and ask what is included, such as implants and follow-up visits. Cosmetic procedures are usually not covered by insurance; check your policy if any part of the plan is medically indicated.
Practice pricing information for Newport Beach patients · Financing information for Newport Beach patients
The practice's current range is about $15,000–$30,000, depending on which procedures are combined and the operating time, covering the surgeon's fee, anesthesia, facility fees, and garments. The same range applies at both consultation offices.
Follow-up visits take place at the same office as your consultation. Combined surgery usually involves several early checks, often while you cannot drive, so decide before booking whether you can get to MacArthur Boulevard for them. The La Jolla office uses a separate University City address in San Diego.
3991 MacArthur Boulevard, Suite 320, Newport Beach, CA 92660
This office opens at 8:30 AM every weekday, including Monday, when the La Jolla / University City office opens at 9:00 AM. Confirm your appointment time when scheduling. The phone number, (858) 247-2933, is shared by both offices, so say that you want the Newport Beach office when you call.

Your consultation office is not your surgery location
Your operation takes place in a separate accredited operating room. Obtain the facility's address and arrival instructions before arranging transportation; the MacArthur Boulevard office is not your surgery destination. Plan who will drive you to postoperative visits in Newport Beach and who will help at home with children and lifting.
Recovery
Recovery is longer than after a single procedure. Many patients take about two to four weeks off work, depending on the job and the combination, and plan for help at home during at least the first week. Expect soreness and tightness across the abdomen and chest. Walk gently as directed, wear your garments, and avoid lifting, including children, until cleared. Drains, if used, are removed when output allows. Exercise requires individual clearance, and swelling and scars continue to change for months.
Do not drive while taking sedating medication or until your surgeon clears you.
Your follow-ups are at the same MacArthur Boulevard office where you had your Newport Beach consultation. Ask when each examination is needed and how to reach the team outside office hours. The office hours above are not an emergency-care schedule.
Days 1 to 5
Rest with help at home. Soreness, swelling, and tightness across the tummy and chest are normal. Walk gently, wear the garments, and avoid lifting.
Week 1 to 2
Drains, if used, usually come out, and bruising fades. Many people feel more mobile but still avoid strain and lifting, moving carefully.
Weeks 2 to 4
Many return to desk work and light routines. The abdomen and breasts continue to settle; keep wearing the garments and avoid heavy activity.
Weeks 4 to 6
Return to exercise gradually as Dr. Sayed clears you. Swelling drops and the restored shape begins to show.
Months 2 to 6
Swelling fully resolves, scars begin to mature and fade, and the final flatter, restored, slimmer shape shows.
Do not drive while taking sedating medication or until your surgeon clears you.

A combination of procedures, usually a tummy tuck, breast surgery, and liposuction, chosen to address changes after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Combining means one anesthesia and one recovery but a longer operation. Staging means shorter operations and separate recoveries. Your health and the planned operating time guide the recommendation.
A future pregnancy can change the abdomen and breasts again, so surgery is usually planned once you are done having children.
Most include a tummy tuck, a breast lift or augmentation, and liposuction. The mix depends on your concerns and anatomy.
Timing is individual. It is generally best to have finished breastfeeding and be near a stable weight. Discuss your timing at the consultation.
The first days are usually sore, especially across the abdomen and chest, and pain is managed with medication. Discomfort typically eases over the following weeks.
No. It addresses skin, muscle, breast, and contour changes and works best when you are near a stable weight.
Yes. A tummy tuck leaves a low abdominal scar, and breast surgery leaves scars that depend on the technique. Scars fade over months but are permanent.
The combined risks of each procedure, including bleeding, infection, seroma, wound-healing problems, scarring, and blood clots. Longer operations raise some risks.
Yes, especially in the first week. You will need to avoid lifting, including young children, until cleared.

Choose the office you can reach during early recovery, because follow-ups take place at the same office as your consultation. The La Jolla office is in University City, San Diego. Surgery is performed only in accredited operating rooms separate from both offices.
The procedures are matched to each concern. Loose abdominal skin and separated abdominal muscles (diastasis) are addressed with a tummy tuck. Deflated or sagging breasts may be treated with a lift, implants, or both. Localized fat at the waist or flanks may be treated with liposuction.
A mommy makeover is not a weight-loss procedure and works best when you are near a stable weight. A future pregnancy can stretch the abdomen and change the breasts again, which is why it is usually planned after you are done having children. Timing after delivery and breastfeeding is individual; discuss it at your consultation rather than relying on a fixed number of months.
Bring a list of medications and supplements, your pregnancy and breastfeeding history, and any prior abdominal or breast surgery, including C-sections. Tell Dr. Sayed whether you plan future pregnancies, your weight trend, nicotine use, and any personal or family history of blood clots.
Questions worth asking: - Which procedures address my concerns, and which could wait? - Is combining them safe for me, or should they be staged? - Where will the scars be? - How much help will I need at home, and for how long? - What does the quote include?
Markings are made with you standing. Under general anesthesia, the procedures are sequenced for safety: the tummy tuck removes loose skin and may repair the abdominal muscles, the breast procedure lifts or adds volume, and liposuction refines the contour. Operating time depends on the combination. After surgery you wear compression and a supportive bra. Whether you go home the same day or stay overnight depends on the plan and your health.
