Dr Zibdeh Signature
For many women in Jordan, the journey of motherhood brings incredible joy but also significant physical changes that diet and exercise alone cannot address. The "Mommy Makeover" has become one of the most requested surgical suites in Amman's top clinics. In 2026, the approach has evolved from "transformation" to "restoration"—focusing on returning the body to its pre-pregnancy silhouette with advanced, minimally invasive techniques.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is not a single surgery but a customized combination of procedures performed simultaneously to address the areas most affected by childbirth and breastfeeding. By combining these surgeries, patients in Amman benefit from a single recovery period and a more harmonious overall result.
The typical "Pillar" procedures include:
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck): Correcting muscle separation (diastasis recti) and removing excess skin.
Breast Enhancement: This can include a breast lift (mastopexy), augmentation (implants), or a reduction, depending on the patient's needs.
High-Definition Liposuction: Targeting stubborn fat in the flanks (love handles) and thighs that often resists post-baby fitness routines.
The 2026 Shift: Natural Contours and Hybrid Techniques
In Jordan, the trend for 2026 is the "Hybrid Breast Augmentation." Instead of large, obvious implants, women are opting for smaller, ergonomic implants combined with fat grafting. This uses the patient's own fat (harvested from the abdomen or thighs) to "cloak" the implant, creating a soft, natural feel and look that is indistinguishable from natural tissue.
Addressing the "Core": More Than Just Skin Deep
Pregnancy often causes the abdominal muscles to stretch and separate, a condition known as Diastasis Recti. A standard workout cannot fix this internal structural issue. During a Mommy Makeover in Amman, surgeons perform an "internal corset" procedure, suturing the muscles back together. This doesn't just flatten the stomach; it restores core strength and can even alleviate the lower back pain many Jordanian mothers experience after multiple pregnancies.
The Surgical Experience in Amman
Amman has solidified its reputation as the "Medical Hub of the Middle East" for plastic surgery. Patients can expect:
3D Surgical Planning: Visualization of the expected results before the first incision.
ERAS Protocols: "Enhanced Recovery After Surgery" protocols that use specialized long-acting local anesthetics (like Exparel) to minimize post-operative pain and get patients walking within hours.
Discreet Care: Many clinics in areas like Dabouq and Abdali offer private recovery suites for maximum patient privacy.
Recovery and Results: Life as a Busy Mom
The most common question in our Amman clinic is: "How long until I can pick up my kids?"
Week 1: Focus on rest. You will need a support system at home for childcare.
Week 2: Light walking and return to most sedentary daily activities.
Week 6: Return to the gym and lifting children is usually permitted.
The goal of a Mommy Makeover isn't just to look better in a dress; it’s about the "Confidence Reset." For many women in Jordan, this procedure is the final step in their motherhood journey, allowing them to feel like themselves again.
