Cannot recommend Dr. Rice enough! She’s truly an expert at what she does. Not only is she an amazing surgeon but she always makes me feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. She’s communicative and let me text her questions any time so I never felt unsure or anxious at any point before, during, or after my procedure. You are getting the best of the best with her.

If you have a specific outcome in mind and you're hesitant about choosing the right provider for something so important, keep reading. Dr. Rice was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. Sometimes in a provider that also means you lose personability, but this was not the case. Her demeanor was kind, witty, and comfortable! I felt supported through the entire process from consultation to payment to procedure day. I had chin liposuction performed in-office in 2025. The recovery was minimal and exactly as Dr. Rice described. As the months passed, I continued to notice improvements, but now, 7 months later, I absolutely love my results. The difference in my side profile—especially my jawline—has been significant, and I'm so happy I chose to move forward with the procedure. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Rice to anyone considering chin liposuction or looking for a provider who combines skill with genuine compassion.

Dr. Rice is truly exceptional. As a 2026 bride (September!) who recently moved back to Chicago, finding someone I could completely trust with my face for Botox and filler felt overwhelming. After seeing Dr. Rice, I honestly can't imagine going to anyone else. Not only is she incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, but she genuinely cares about her patients. She took the time to listen to my concerns, answer every question, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. Her warmth, empathy, and sense of humor made the experience just as enjoyable as the results themselves. I've had less-than-great experiences in the past, so finding a physician who values a natural, personalized approach has been invaluable. Every time I leave her office, I feel refreshed, confident, and like the best version of myself. If you're looking for the very best in the Chicagoland area, I cannot recommend Dr. Rice highly enough.

Dr. Rice is not only an excellent and thoughtful doctor, but also someone who practices real empathy and patience with her patients. I initially scheduled a consultation with her, but due to another appointment running over, I had to leave early to get to work, miss my botox treatment, and was understandably frustrated. Dr. Rice personally took the time to email me afterward to apologize, and that level of care and accountability truly made a difference. I decided to return for my appointment, and I’m so glad I did. The results were incredible, and the entire experience afterward completely restored my confidence. I highly recommend Dr. Rice to anyone looking for both exceptional results and compassionate care.

I am so happy to see that Dr. Rice has opened up her own clinic in Chicago. I have worked with her for years. She fixed my lips and does an amazing job every time! She also administers my Botox and has educated me so much on skincare. I can't wait to do skinpen and peels in the winter!

I’ve trusted Dr. Rice with several procedures, and her level of talent and consistency truly sets her apart. She has a refined eye for detail and balance, which is clearly reflected in her results. Most recently, I underwent facial fat grafting and couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome—it’s subtle, beautifully balanced, and incredibly natural. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering facial fat grafting, especially if you’re seeking a refreshed, natural-looking result.

There truly are not enough words to describe how exceptional Dr. Rice is. Choosing her for my procedures was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and I share that with deep gratitude. I underwent a neck lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, and a very complex breast surgery that included a reduction, lift, Motiva implants, and mesh support, essentially a built-in internal bra. This was also my third breast surgery, so I came into this experience with a lot of perspective and very high expectations. After two previous surgeries with another surgeon that still left me far larger than I wanted, I knew how important it was to find someone with true technical mastery, vision, and precision. From the very first consultation, Dr. Rice made me feel completely heard, respected, and safe. She listened carefully to my goals, understood the nuances of my prior surgeries, and approached my case with an incredible level of thoughtfulness and detail. She never rushed me, explained everything thoroughly, and set realistic expectations while still instilling total confidence. The results are beyond anything I could have imagined. They are natural, beautifully proportioned, and truly life-changing. My neck and eyes look refreshed and elegant, not overdone, and my breast results are exactly what I had hoped for after years of trying to get it right. The internal mesh support alone has been transformative in terms of shape, lift, and long-term stability. Dr. Rice combines extraordinary surgical skill with meticulous attention to detail and genuine care for her patients. She holds herself to an incredibly high standard, and it shows in every aspect of her work and patient experience. If you are looking for a surgeon who delivers not only stunning results but also compassion, honesty, and precision, Dr. Rice is simply in a league of her own. I am profoundly grateful for her expertise and the life-changing work she has done for me.

Dr Rice performed a fat transfer to my breast and a tummy tuck almost three years ago. I’m 61 and have three children. So if you had kids, you know that upper fat is gone! I now have breasts that look better than when I was a teenager! Perky and Very Full still I had a few mammograms and did not mention the transfer, and they all came out great. I only lost around 30% of the initial fat. I was a fried egg flat A/B cup and now I’m a full C cup with cleavage and everything!!! The top half is full and seamless , no indentations of fakeness at all!! Now to the tummy tuck Girllll my tummy is snatched!! navel looks great and my scar looks like the V you have while wearing a thong!!! Flat, thin and smooth Oh and I forgot to mention, she removed the fat from my back, so my waist is snatched too! I cannot thank her enough. So if you’re thinking about any of these procedures, she is the best. She’s professional, knowledgeable, caring, kind, easy to talk to and cute too! Just like having your girlfriend taking care of you. She is that girl!!

I won a lip filler giveaway and my experience from beginning to end was amazing. Dr. Dahlia and Paula are so sweet, very thorough, and kept me informed along every step of the way. We did before and after pictures and the results were stunning. I’m so happy with the way my lips came out and have loved wearing lipstick again. I am looking forward to going back to DMR for any other cosmetic procedures I may want in the future. Thank you ladies!!!!

Are you a Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

The ideal candidate for a mommy makeover is a woman who is done having children and is in good overall health. Realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedures and a commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-surgery are essential.

Waiting at least six months after giving birth is important to allow the body to fully heal. Women planning to have more children should postpone the procedure until they have finished having children, as subsequent pregnancies can reverse the surgery’s results.

For personalized advice, it is recommended to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon. The surgeon will assess your medical history, physical health, and cosmetic goals to help you make an informed decision about whether a mommy makeover or any other cosmetic procedure is suitable for you.

Procedures in a full mommy makeover

A full mommy makeover generally is a combination  of cosmetic procedures designed to address the physical changes resulting from pregnancy and childbirth. The exact mommy makeover procedures may differ depending on the patient’s unique requirements and objectives but usually involve a selection from the following:

Breast augmentation: Breast augmentation entails the placement of saline or silicone implants to enhance the size and refine the shape of the breasts.

Breast lift: This procedure is to elevate and reshape sagging breasts by eliminating surplus skin and tightening the underlying breast tissue.

Tummy tuck: Also referred to as abdominoplasty, this surgical procedure eliminates excess abdominal skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the stomach muscles, resulting in a flatter and smoother tummy.

Liposuction: This encompasses the elimination of resistant fat deposits from different areas of the body, such as the inner and outer thighs, hips, buttocks, and upper arms.

Other procedures that may be included are:

Labiaplasty: This procedure entails reshaping and reducing the size of the labia minora to enhance both comfort and aesthetics.

Breast Fat Transfer: This procedure involves using liposuction to harvest fat from one’s body and injecting it into the breasts

It’s crucial to emphasize that not every patient requires all of these body contouring procedures. The selection of specific multiple procedures in a mommy makeover is customized to the individual needs and goals of each patient.

What is a Mini Mommy Makeover?

A Mini Mommy Makeover typically comprises a series of cosmetic procedures aimed at assisting women in restoring their pre pregnancy figure post-childbirth. In contrast to a traditional Mommy Makeover, which often involves a combination of surgical procedures like a tummy tuck, breast lift or augmentation, and liposuction, a mini is less extensive, entailing fewer procedures.

Mommy Makeover Chicago Recovery The specific treatments within a Mini  Mommy Makeover may vary based on the individual patient’s needs but could include cosmetic procedures such as liposuction, breast implants or reduction, and a mini tummy tuck. These procedures are tailored to address specific areas of the body affected by pregnancy and childbirth.

It’s crucial for patients to maintain realistic expectations regarding the achievable outcomes of a Mini Mommy Makeover and recognize that it is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle that includes exercise and a balanced diet.

Mommy Makeover Recovery 

Recovering from a Mommy Makeover is a comprehensive process due to the involvement of multiple surgical procedures aimed at restoring a woman’s body to its pre-pregnancy condition. During the recovery phase, strict adherence to the surgeon’s instructions is advised to ensure proper healing and optimal results.

Experiencing pain and discomfort in the initial days post-surgery is normal, and patients may require pain medication for effective management.

Adequate rest and the avoidance of strenuous physical activities for a few weeks are crucial to facilitate the body’s healing process.

Patients may need to take time off work and arrange assistance, especially if they have young children and daily tasks become challenging. A healthy diet, along with abstaining from smoking or alcohol consumption, plays a pivotal role in a successful recovery. Regular follow-up appointments with the surgeon are recommended to monitor progress and address any concerns.

While complete recovery may take several months, many women express increased confidence and satisfaction with their bodies after undergoing a Mommy Makeover.

Mommy Makeover Cost Chicago

The cost of a mommy makeover Chicago can vary significantly, influenced by various factors. These include the geographical location of the surgeon, the specific procedures encompassed in the makeover, the surgeon’s level of expertise, and the facility where you are undergoing surgery is scheduled.

Generally, the cost of a mommy makeover ranges. It’s important to note that this estimate may or may not cover additional expenses such as anesthesia, surgical facility fees, and preoperative testing.

While cost is a crucial consideration in cosmetic surgery, it should not be the sole determining factor. Opting for a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in mommy makeovers and a proven record of achieving safe and satisfactory outcomes is paramount.

Having a comprehensive consultation with your surgeon is also vital. During this discussion, you can discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure, as well as address potential risks or complications.

Mommy Makeover FAQS

What is the BMI for mommy makeover surgeries?

BMI is a crucial factor in assessing eligibility for surgical procedures, including the mommy makeover. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons advises that patients maintain a BMI of 30 or below before opting for elective surgery. Elevated BMI levels are linked to heightened risks during and after the surgical process, including complications such as infection, compromised wound healing, and other potential issues.

What is the Average Age for a Mommy Makeover?

There isn’t a specific age prerequisite for a mommy makeover, as the selection of procedures is generally based on individual needs and goals rather than age. Nonetheless, most women opting for a mommy makeover are typically in their 30s to 50s and have experienced one or more pregnancies.

Do they have plus size mommy makeover?

Certainly, there are options tailored for plus-size women seeking a mommy makeover. However, it’s crucial to emphasize that the specific procedures and techniques employed will be contingent on the individual’s distinct body type, health condition, and aesthetic objectives.

What is the ideal weight for a mommy makeover?

Being within 10 to 20 pounds of your ideal weight are recommended. While there may be exceptions to these guidelines, they serve as the most common criteria that plastic surgeons typically adhere to.

Who qualifies for a mini tummy tuck?

 Ideal mini tummy tuck candidates have localized fat cells and loose skin below the belly button, excellent overall health, and stable weight. Unlike extensive reconstructive surgery or eyelid surgery, this procedure targets specific areas that resist diet and exercise. Patients should not require muscle repair and must have realistic expectations about limited improvement compared to full procedures.

How many Sizes Do You Go Down After a Mommy Makeover?

After undergoing a tummy tuck, the majority of women commonly see a reduction in their clothing size by one or two sizes, and in certain instances, even more. However, there are a few cases where patients may not observe a change in size, and exceptionally rarely, some may find themselves needing a larger size.

Will I have Mommy Makeover Scars?

Currently, there is no established method to undergo surgery without leaving any scars after the healing of surgical incisions. Nevertheless, contemporary incision treatment and scar therapy can substantially enhance the appearance of scarring, constituting a crucial aspect of post-surgical care for all plastic surgery patients.

When Will I see my Mommy Makeover Results?

The final results of mommy makeover surgery may not be apparent for several months after surgery.

Can I get a mommy makeover while breast feeding?

It’s generally advisable to wait a minimum of six months post-childbirth and breastfeeding before considering a Mommy Makeover.

Is a mommy makeover a risky surgery?

Mommy Makeover carries moderate surgical risks due to combining multiple plastic surgery procedures. Primary concerns include blood clots, infection, and poor wound healing. A qualified surgeon in Chicago will develop a comprehensive treatment plan to minimize complications. Risks increase with longer surgery duration, but selecting experienced cosmetic surgeons significantly reduces potential complications.

Is a mommy makeover covered by insurance?

Mommy Makeover is typically not covered by insurance as it’s considered elective cosmetic surgery within the plastic surgery industry. However, specific components like breast reduction may qualify for coverage if deemed medically necessary. Patients should maintain healthy weight and understand that most procedures addressing excess skin after weight gain require out-of-pocket payment.
