MommyMakeover
Restore your pre-pregnancy proportion
Combined post-pregnancy procedures — typically tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast surgery — designed as a single coordinated plan. One operation, one recovery, one travel week to Miami.
A coordinated plan
Pregnancy and breastfeeding leave permanent changes — separated abdominal muscles, loose skin, deflated breasts, stubborn fat that doesn't respond to diet. Each can be addressed individually, but most patients benefit from a coordinated combined approach: addressing the abdomen, body, and breasts in a single recovery.
Dr. Carvalho's makeover plans are not template-driven. The exact combination — tummy tuck, lipo, breast lift with or without implants — is tailored to each patient's body and goals.
What changes in a Mommy Makeover
It's more than one procedure
A Mommy Makeover restores harmony by treating the areas most changed by pregnancy and motherhood — combined into a single coordinated plan, with a single recovery.
Treatment Zones
- Breast restoration — addresses deflated volume, sagging, or asymmetry
- Abdominal tightening — tummy tuck repairs separated muscles and removes loose skin
- Waist contouring — targeted liposuction restores natural narrowing at the waist
- Excess skin removal — low-belly skin and stretch-marked tissue removed for a smooth contour
- Liposuction sculpting — surrounding zones (flanks, back, thighs) refined for whole-body harmony
Outcome Zones
- Restored breast shape — volume and lift restored to a youthful position
- Flatter abdomen — taut, smooth midsection with strong core support
- More defined waistline — visible curve from waist to hips
- Smoother body contour — unified silhouette from chest to hips
- Stronger feminine proportion — returning to — and often improving on — your pre-pregnancy frame
A personalized approach
Your Mommy Makeover is designed for you. The right combination of procedures depends on your body, your goals, and the changes you want to address. Some patients combine breast lift with tummy tuck and lipo; others add implants. Dr. Carvalho designs the plan around what you actually need.
The goal
A Mommy Makeover combines breast and body procedures in one personalized plan to restore confidence, refine shape, and create natural-looking results that feel uniquely yours — addressed in one operation, with one recovery, and one travel week.
The Mommy Makeover Journey
- 01
Restore breast contour
Lift, augmentation, or both — depending on volume loss, sagging, and your goals. The breast component is performed first or in coordination with the body work.
- 02
Tighten the abdomen
Abdominoplasty repairs separated muscles, removes stretched skin, and restores a flat, strong midsection.
- 03
Refine the waist and back
Targeted liposuction at the flanks, back, and lower torso completes the silhouette and ensures the abdominal result reads in proportion to the rest of the body.
Dr. Décio Carvalho applies a sculptor's eye to every Mommy Makeover — restoring each area in just the right measure to create results that feel natural, feminine, and beautifully balanced.

Plan Your VisitIn their own words
When I contacted Dr. Carvalho’s coordinator for the first time , she was so lovely. She gave me all the attention, and clarified all my doubts. I already had the impression that I was making the right choice to go meet him. Dr. Decio Carvalho was simply wonderful, he only left the room after making sure I had no more doubts. On the day of the surgery he and his whole team did everything to calm me down and made sure that everything would work out in the end. I am very grateful to him and his team for the attention, and the affection they had and are still having with me. Today has been a month since I did my mommy makeover and I'm already loving the results, to tell you the truth his work was so good that when I see the photos from before and after I still can’t believe it. For those who are still in doubt about contacting him and his team, you guys don't know what you guys are missing. I recommend Dr. Decio Carvalho and his team without any doubt that you will be treated well as I was, and you will have the wonderful results just as I had.
100% recommend Dr. Carvalho for plastic surgery in Miami!! I recently had a Mommy Makeover with Dr. Carvalho, and I truly couldn’t be happier with my experience. This was my first-ever surgery, so I was naturally a little nervous, but from the very beginning, Dr. Carvalho and his team made me feel completely comfortable and confident. One of the things I appreciated most was that his consultations were in person, not virtual like many other places I looked into. It gave me a chance to ask all my questions face-to-face and feel genuinely seen and heard. The pricing was also very transparent and detailed, which helped me plan and feel confident moving forward. The staff members that I kept in contact with, Sara and Elayne, were absolutely amazing. They were always so sweet, attentive, and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. Any time I needed something or had a concern, they were just a call or message away, and always responded quickly. From the smooth preparation process to the actual surgery and aftercare, everything was handled with such professionalism and warmth. I’m beyond happy with my results and would highly recommend Dr. Carvalho and his wonderful team to anyone considering plastic surgery.
I can’t even begin to express how happy I am with my results from Dr. Carvalho! He truly is one of the best plastic surgeons in Miami. I had my MMO and 360 Lipo BBL done with him, and the outcome is everything I dreamed of — super natural, beautifully shaped, and perfectly balanced. From my first consultation, I could tell he genuinely cares about his patients. He listened to exactly what I wanted, gave honest feedback, and made sure I felt comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. His energy is calm, kind, and professional — and his work speaks for itself! I’m so grateful I trusted Dr. Carvalho with my body. He gave me results that look natural and feel like me, just a better version. If you’re thinking about getting surgery in Miami, look no further — he’s the real deal! 💕✨
I had a Mommy Makeover on April 30/2024 with Dr. Decio Carvalho and I am super satisfied and happy with my results! Without doubts, choosing him to perform my surgery was the best decision ever! His clinic is very well organized and clean. And all the staff are very nice and attentive for any concerns you might have! Thank you everyone that helped on making my dream come true! ❤️
Hello, I'm stopping by to leave the best of the recommendations, they did a mommy makeover and I haven't had surgery for a month and I love my results, I thank the clinic staff and Dr. Decio Carballo that their attention and excellent treatment my greatest blessings and good vibes for them are the best.
I had my mommy makeover done by Dr. Carvalho in August 2022. I’m loving my results already, even though it’s been only 2 months post op. I strongly recommend him.
I have been familiar with Dr. Décio's exceptional work for many years. A decade ago, I had my initial consultation with him, but at that time, I decided not to proceed with the procedure. However, after careful consideration, I recently concluded that the timing was right and began my search for surgeons in my area. Although I consulted with four highly regarded surgeons, my unwavering trust in Dr. Décio's expertise ultimately led me to schedule an appointment with him. During the consultation, I was deeply impressed by Dr. Décio's honesty and straightforwardness regarding the anticipated results. Moreover, nurse Sara's unwavering attentiveness and willingness to address all my inquiries and concerns left a lasting impression. Consequently, I made the decision to schedule the surgery for a month later. As the day approached, it was only natural for me to feel nervous. However, Sara's comforting presence and genuine care reassured me that I had made the right choice. Her unwavering support provided me with a sense of tranquility. The surgery was an unequivocal success, and the following day, I returned for my initial post-operative follow-up. Sara greeted me with an unforgettable smile and tended to my needs like no one else. Her calm and composed demeanor instilled a profound sense of peace within me. Truthfully, it was her presence that played a pivotal role in my decision to choose this clinic. She maintained regular contact with me through messages, consistently inquiring about my well-being. Even now, nearly a month later, she continues to send messages to check on my progress. To me, this level of care is truly invaluable. My body has exceeded all my expectations, and I am told that we have yet to reach the final outcome. Previously, I wore size L, but now I comfortably fit into XS. I am incredibly satisfied with Dr. Décio's exceptional work and the unwavering care and attention provided by nurse Sara. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend them. I highly recommend requesting nurse Sara as your healthcare provider. She is not only a compassionate and dedicated professional, but also a genuinely caring individual. Her passion for her work shines through in every interaction, making her an invaluable asset to have by your side during your medical journey, having someone like her by your side during a medical journey can make a significant difference in the overall experience. I will definitely keep her in mind when considering healthcare providers.
I must say, I was frightened to go to Dr. Carvalho given the reviews however his body of work stood out. His body of work is realistic, great sculpture. I decided to not let reviews dictate my experience. As 2x CG doll, I would not go through CG again for any work. Instead, I would go directly through the specific Dr. private practice. Being a black woman and seeing most patients are Spanish, I was scared but Dr. Carvalho and his team at this office was outstanding. Excellent customer service- no long wait times. He listened to my feedback, was honest on the possibilities. Excellent bedside manners- he was present at the beginning and during recovery. After surgery, I recalled blinking my eyes and he checking in on me. He was in lobby speaking with my family giving them updates. He was informative and clear about how many ccs he gave me and met my expectation. Post- op, him and manager Sara had excellent communication, easily accessible to book a post op appointment with him, especially since I am from out of town. I personally think Dr. Carvalho has taken in other feedback and increased his professionalism to support his patients and improve his practice. 10/10, I recommend. DO NOT GO THROUGH CG Cosmetics, especially if you do not speak Spanish, if you do not want poor communication, if you do not want your coordinator to ghost you after you pay. Go directly to his practice or any of the doctors practice. Dr. Carvalho do more marketing. You are a Excellent doctor. My body is coming along almost three weeks post op and I am loving the results. Thank you for providing after care instructions that are specific and clear. Thank you again!
My surgery with Dr. Decio Carvalho was one of the most amazing experiences that I have ever had! He was extremely attentive to detail, to my limits and personal wishes! He made sure that my results would be something that complimented me in all ways. I feel like the best version of myself because of the outstanding work he did! He was very honest about what would work and what wouldn’t be ideal for me, so it made me feel very confident that Dr. Decio only had the best of interests for me and wanted me to love my new self! His expertise, honesty and techniques are unlike anything I have ever seen, truly a fantastic Doctor! My recovery was very successful thanks to his amazing post op side by side care, and I healed with amazing results! The clinic and staff will make you feel at home! The atmosphere is welcoming and gives you reassurance that you are in the best of hands with Dr. Decio and his wonderful team! Andrea Schwartz
I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Carvalho and the entire team. From the very first consultation, I felt completely heard, respected, and cared for. Dr. Carvalho took the time to truly understand my goals, answered all of my questions, and explained the procedure in a way that made me feel confident and at ease. The surgery went flawlessly, and the post-op care was just as exceptional. I always felt supported every step of the way. Sara and Elayne were incredible—so kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in my comfort and recovery. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Most importantly, I’m absolutely thrilled with my results. They look natural, balanced, and exactly what I hoped for. This experience has truly boosted my confidence and overall quality of life. If you’re looking for a skilled, compassionate, and trustworthy plastic surgeon, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Carvalho. With a team like Sara and Elayne by your side, you’ll be in the best hands possible!
If I could give 5000 stars. I would!!!! I was quite perplexed when I saw my result for the first time. Dr Decio Carvalho works with you to address you in what you really need without affecting your health. Today days plastic surgery specialty has become in very commercial area of medicine, many doctor put first their monetary interest, rather than patient’s necessity , but Dr.Carvalho is far away from this , in my opinion He is one of the few doctor who still really honors from the bottom of his heart the Hippocratic Oath “ He will practice his profession with conscience and dignity”, “He will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism” I strongly recommend him if you really want a professional opinion and procedure
Dr Carvalho is a profesional and excelent Dr. I am more than happy I decided to take him for My Lil girl’s Stetic Surgery. His very centrated and profesional with their patient. We have received all the fallow up with him and all the atentions we has needed he had completed for us.His team is very friendly and passionated. If I decide a surgery for My self I will take him without thinking about. Also I have an spa @lasy’smassage and I see women post surgery forma all the clinic in Miami , but tris Dr. is something special his procedures and finished is excelent , the experience I have from what I had Saw Is just 5 stars or more If I Could .
Everything you wanted to know
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures tailored to address the body changes that follow pregnancy and breastfeeding — typically tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast surgery (lift, augmentation, or both). The procedures are coordinated in a single recovery rather than spread across multiple surgeries.
When should I consider one?
When you've completed your family, are at a stable weight, and at least 6 months past breastfeeding. Pregnancy after a Mommy Makeover would compromise the results.
Which procedures will I need?
That's tailored during consultation. The most common combination is tummy tuck + liposuction + breast lift (with or without implants). Dr. Carvalho will design a plan that fits your specific concerns and goals.
Is everything done at once?
Yes — the combined approach is a key benefit. One operation, one recovery, one travel week to Miami. The single coordinated session is also more efficient than spreading procedures over multiple surgeries.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients return to light activities within 2 weeks and resume normal activities at 4–6 weeks. Compression garments and a supportive bra are worn during early healing. Walking is encouraged from day one.
