Put Yourself Back on the Priority List
Motherhood involves physical and emotional sacrifices that often go unacknowledged, but you shouldn't have to give up feeling good in your own skin. Loose skin, separated abdominal muscles, and a loss of breast volume are common changes that come with childbirth, despite diet and exercise. Reclaiming your body is an act of restoring the self confidence and physical comfort you deserve. At Quinn Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Center, we provide the surgical experience to help Lenexa moms get back the slim, contoured body they had before kids.
The Baseline You Remember
A mommy makeover is a set of cosmetic procedures used to fix the changes that happen to a woman's body after having children. Most of the time, this includes a tummy tuck, a breast lift (with or without implants), and liposuction. Dr. Quinn is a board-certified plastic surgeon who focuses on results that look natural. He wants you to look like yourself again, not like you had a lot of work done. Whether you want to feel better in your workout gear or just want your old jeans to fit again, we are here to help. We customize every mommy makeover surgery to fit exactly what you need.

A Look That Matches Your Energy
A mommy makeover procedure is about improving your quality of life. When your clothes fit better and your body feels stronger, you have more energy for your family. Many women find that they feel a renewed sense of self esteem after their aesthetic surgery. Key benefits include:
What Areas of the Body Can Be Treated?
While every treatment plan is different, we focus on the areas most impacted by pregnancy and nursing.
We can address sagging, deflated breasts, or unevenness. Whether you need breast enhancement, a reduction, or a lift, the goal is a balanced look.
This is the core of the mommy makeover. We tighten the abdominal muscles and remove excess skin to smooth out the midsection.
We use liposuction to target excess fat in the love handles, helping you return to your pre-pregnancy body.
What Aesthetic Issues Does a Mommy Makeover Address?
This plastic surgery fixes specific structural issues that happen during and after pregnancy.
This is the medical term for when your abdominal muscles separate. It creates a pooch that won't go away with sit-ups. We sew these back together for a strong foundation.
Pregnancy stretches skin beyond its breaking point, often leaving skin folds or extra skin. We remove the loose skin and often the stretch marks located on the lower stomach.
Heavy breasts and nursing can stretch out the breast tissue. A breast lift repositions the tissue to fix the sagging and move the nipple back to a youthful position.
When You're Ready
The best mommy makeover results happen when you are at a stable weight and have finished having children. If you plan on having more children, it can stretch the skin back out, undoing the work of your tummy tuck. You should be in good health and have realistic expectations. During your visit, Dr. Quinn will talk about your health history and any blood-thinning medications to make sure aesthetic plastic surgery is a safe choice for you.
Your Mommy Makeover Options
We don't use a one-size-fits-all approach. Your cosmetic surgery is built around your body and your goals.
A breast lift removes extra skin to move the breast tissue back to a higher, firmer position. This results in a better fit in your favorite bras and swimsuits.
Breast augmentation uses silicone or saline implants to restore volume and improve your proportions. Dr. Quinn helps you choose the right size for a natural look.
This is the most important part of most mommy makeovers. A tummy tuck fixes separated abdominal muscles and gets rid of the excess skin that won't go away at the gym.
Liposuction helps get rid of excess fat deposits in spots like your hips or thighs. This helps make your new shape look smooth and balanced.
Clear Expectations
Your journey begins with a private meeting with Dr. Quinn. As a board certified plastic surgeon, he will listen to your goals and create a specific treatment plan. To prepare, we ask that you:
Getting Back to You
This is typically performed as an outpatient surgery under general anesthesia, so you go home the same day. Most moms need about two weeks for the initial recovery period. You will wear a special compression garment to support your body during the healing process. The first few weeks are for resting, you must avoid strenuous exercise to protect your results.
Quiet Progress
You will notice a change in your body contours immediately, but final results take time to settle. Swelling will slowly go down over the first few months. Most patients see their final shape around the 3-to-6-month mark. Follow Dr. Quinn's instructions closely, including wearing compression garments and attending follow-up visits. These results are long-lasting if you maintain a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, and a balanced diet.
Expertise You Can Trust
You want a cosmetic surgeon who has the surgical experience to get it right. Dr. John Quinn is a board-certified surgeon who has been performing surgical procedures in the Kansas City and Overland Park area for over 35 years.

It’s best to wait at least six months after you stop breastfeeding and your weight stays the same.
Dr. Quinn hides the tummy tuck scar very low. Breast surgery scars are placed where they fade and blend in over time.
Yes. Dr. Quinn can usually use your old C-section scar for the tummy tuck, often making the old scar look even better.
You will need to avoid heavy lifting for about four to six weeks to protect your abdominal muscles.
For the best results, you should be close to your goal weight before surgery. Weight loss after the procedure can cause new loose skin.
Most patients can drive about a week after their individual procedure, as long as they are no longer taking prescription pain medication.
