Meet Dr. Stephanie Power, a board-certified female plastic surgeon performing mommy makeover surgery for patients throughout the Mississauga area. A mommy makeover combines plastic surgery procedures, customized to your goals, to address the changes pregnancy and breastfeeding bring to the breasts and abdomen.
As a female plastic surgeon and mother herself, Dr. Power understands the physical changes that come with pregnancy and childbirth, and approaches every consultation with empathy and attention to detail. Our Mississauga patients appreciate the personalized, unhurried care she provides from consultation through recovery.
Because every pregnancy is different, a mommy makeover is fully customized rather than a fixed set of procedures. Dr. Power will work with you to design a plan that addresses the areas that concern you most.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a combination of plastic surgery procedures customized to your unique needs, most commonly addressing the two areas most affected by pregnancy and childbearing: the breasts and stomach. The most common combination includes breast augmentation and breast lift along with a tummy tuck, though procedures like liposuction or labiaplasty are common additions as well.
Who is a Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
Good candidates for a mommy makeover are people who are unsatisfied with their appearance after pregnancy and childbirth, including skin laxity of the stomach and breasts, and are in good general health with a stable weight. In many cases, combining procedures is the most effective way to address multiple areas of concern in a single recovery period.
Ideal Candidates for a Mommy Makeover in Mississauga are:
- In good overall health, with a stable weight for at least 6 months
- Have completed childbearing and are finished breastfeeding
- Bothered by changes to the breasts and/or abdomen following pregnancy
- A non-smoker, or willing to quit at least 4 weeks before and after surgery
- Able to arrange help at home during the initial recovery period
- Have reasonable expectations about results
Procedures Included in a Mommy Makeover
Breast Augmentation with Lift
A combined breast augmentation and lift restores volume lost after breastfeeding while lifting sagging breast tissue to a more youthful position.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck removes loose skin and stubborn fat from the abdomen while tightening abdominal muscles that commonly separate during pregnancy (rectus diastasis).
Liposuction
Liposuction can remove stubborn fat pockets on the hips, thighs, or flanks that don't respond to diet and exercise.
Mommy Makeover Recovery
Because a mommy makeover combines more than one surgical procedure, recovery is more involved than a single procedure alone. Most patients need at least one to two weeks of downtime, with complete recovery taking around 6 weeks. Heavy lifting and exercise should be avoided during this time, so arranging childcare and help around the house in advance is important.
Dr. Power will provide detailed instructions covering compression garments, pain management, and drain care where applicable, along with her direct contact information for any questions during your recovery.

About Mississauga
Mississauga, located in the Regional Municipality of Peel in the Greater Toronto Area, is Ontario’s third-largest city and one of Canada’s most vibrant and diverse communities. Originally inhabited by Indigenous peoples and later settled by Europeans in the 18th century, Mississauga has transformed from a collection of rural villages into a thriving urban center. The city’s name comes from the Mississauga First Nation, part of the Anishinaabe peoples who historically lived in the region.
Throughout the 20th century, Mississauga experienced rapid growth, particularly following World War II, when suburbanization drew many families to the area. The opening of Toronto Pearson International Airport in 1937 significantly influenced the city’s development and economy. In 1974, the city was officially incorporated as Mississauga, consolidating several smaller communities including Port Credit, Streetsville, and Cooksville.
Today, Mississauga is known for its multicultural population, representing over 200 ethnic backgrounds, and its strong economy anchored by major corporations and businesses. The city offers residents an exceptional quality of life with beautiful waterfront parks along Lake Ontario, the iconic Mississauga Celebration Square, excellent schools, and a wide array of cultural attractions and recreational facilities. With its proximity to Toronto and well-developed transit infrastructure, Mississauga continues to attract professionals and families seeking a dynamic urban lifestyle with suburban comforts.
