Mommy Makeover in Zurich
feel completely like yourself again
Pregnancy and childbirth are wonderful – and they leave their marks. Sagging skin, altered breast tissue, or stubborn fat deposits cannot always be trained away, and that is completely normal.
A Mommy Makeover combines several coordinated procedures into a coherent overall concept – so that you can feel completely comfortable in your body again. Whether after one or more pregnancies – the focus is never on an external beauty ideal, but on your well-being.
The After-Baby Body – You Are Not Alone
Not recognizing one's own body after childbirth can be distressing. Sagging skin on the abdomen or altered breasts often cannot be influenced by even the most rigorous discipline.
This is exactly where we come in: empathetically, honestly, and without pressure. Our team supports you with experience and understanding through every step after pregnancy and childbirth.

Your Experts
The procedures are performed by Dr. Volker Rippmann and Christian Roessing. Both are specialists in plastic surgery and have been specializing in aesthetic surgery for many years. As experienced specialists, they combine precision with a keen sense for natural results – and take as much time as each patient needs.
Who is the procedure suitable for and when?
A Mommy Makeover is suitable for women who have completed their family planning and are close to their desired weight. Sufficient time after childbirth is important: breastfeeding should have ended at least six months prior. Only after breastfeeding have tissues and hormone levels stabilized enough for a lasting result to be possible.
Treatment Options at a Glance
We decide together and always individually which procedures are sensible. A Mommy Makeover surgery can be composed of these components:
- Tummy tuck: removes excess skin and tightens the abdominal wall. In case of rectus diastasis – the separation of the straight abdominal muscles – we additionally strengthen the connective tissue.
- Breast lift: reshapes a sagging breast and lifts it again.
- Breast augmentation: creates more volume with implants, combined with a breast lift if desired.
- Liposuction: sculpts problem areas on hips, flanks, or thighs.
- Intimate corrections: if desired, we can add subtle procedures in the intimate area.
Popular Combinations
We often combine several components, often centered around a tummy tuck: for example, a tummy tuck plus liposuction for a defined abdominal area, or a breast lift with breast augmentation for a harmonious décolleté. Liposuction can also be performed as a standalone procedure.

Consultation, Procedure, and Aftercare
It begins with a detailed consultation where we openly discuss your wishes, possibilities, and risks. This forms your personal treatment plan. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. On the day of the surgery, you will stay with us for monitoring; after the surgery, we will closely accompany you through aftercare.
Mommy Makeover Costs
The costs for a Mommy Makeover cannot be stated as a flat rate – each treatment is composed differently. Reliable Mommy Makeover prices will be provided after your consultation. When it comes to Mommy Makeover costs, the scope and type of chosen procedures are particularly decisive. In Switzerland, health insurance generally does not cover purely aesthetic treatments. We view aesthetic surgery as a matter of trust: we transparently disclose all costs from the outset – with us, there are no hidden fees.
Possible Risks – Honestly Explained
Like any surgical procedure, a Mommy Makeover also carries risks: such as post-operative bleeding, delayed wound healing, or scars. A Mommy Makeover remains a procedure that we carefully prepare. In the hands of an experienced specialist, these risks remain low. We will inform you honestly and take all measures for a safe course of treatment.
Mommy Makeover Before & After
The final result becomes visible after a few months, once swelling has subsided and scars fade. Many patients then feel completely at home in their bodies again. We will discuss what Mommy Makeover before & after results are realistic for you in a personal consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
You should rest for the first one to two weeks. Light daily activities are usually possible after a few days, and sports after about six weeks.
