Best Mommy Makeover Surgeons Houston 2026
If you've been searching for the best mommy makeover surgeons in Houston in 2026, I want you to stop for a second.
My name is Mavi Rodriguez. I'm a plastic surgery consultant, the founder of Big Butts No Lies, and I spent 18+ years working inside top plastic surgery practices before I started coaching women through their surgery journeys. I have sat across from hundreds of women who were exactly where you are right now, researching, comparing, hoping to make the right call.
Every year I put together my personal list of the best mommy makeover surgeons in Houston, the board-certified doctors I would send my own family to. Based on credentials, surgical excellence, patient outcomes, and what I know from nearly two decades of being in these rooms.
Before anything else, I wrote a complete planning guide specifically for this. If you're in the early stages of researching a mommy makeover, start there first: How to Plan for a Mommy Makeover: A Complete Guide to a Smooth & Empowered Journey. It covers everything from choosing the right surgeon to budgeting, recovery prep, lymphatic massages, and the emotional side of this journey.

What Is a Mommy Makeover and Why Does Surgeon Selection in Matter So Much?
A mommy makeover is not one procedure. It is a fully customized combination of surgical procedures performed in a single session, designed to address the specific changes that pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding leave on a woman's body.
Most commonly, a mommy makeover in Houston includes some combination of a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to repair separated abdominal muscles and remove excess skin, a breast procedure, lift, augmentation, or reduction to restore position and volume after nursing, and liposuction for contouring areas that don't respond to diet and exercise. Some women add labiaplasty, a BBL, or an arm lift depending on their individual goals.
Every mommy makeover is different because every mother's body is different. I go into all of this in much more depth in my planning guide, How to Plan for a Mommy Makeover, including how to budget, what to expect during recovery, and how to emotionally prepare for this journey. Worth reading before your first consultation.
What every mommy makeover shares surgically is this: it requires a surgeon who can operate across multiple areas of the body in a single session, safely, cohesively, and with results that look balanced and natural across the whole silhouette. That is not a small ask. It demands meticulous surgical planning, deep experience across multiple procedures, and a team equipped to manage a longer, more complex OR.
2026 Best Mommy Makeover Surgeons in Houston, TX
Listed alphabetically. Not ranked. Every surgeon here is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the only board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties specifically for plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Dr. Dare Ajibade
Instagram: @dr_dare_ojibade | Website: dvaplasticsurgery.com
Dr. Dare V. Ajibade is a board-certified aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon in Houston specializing in mommy makeovers, BBL, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and Lipo 360. He is known for his signature Ajibooty™ and Ajibody™ body contouring approaches, proprietary techniques that reflect both his surgical creativity and his commitment to individualized outcomes.
What stands out to me about Dr. Ajibade is that he listens before he plans. For a procedure as personal and complex as a mommy makeover, that quality matters more than most women realize before they're sitting across from a surgeon for the first time.
Dr. Danielle Andry
Instagram: @drdanielleandry | Website: theoaksplasticsurgery.com
Dr. Danielle Andry is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, trained at UT Southwestern in Dallas, and one of the few female partners of a plastic surgery group practice in Houston. She co-founded The Oaks Plastic Surgery alongside her husband, Dr. Nandi Wijay, and has built a practice around what she calls the "Modern Mommy Makeover", individualized to what today's mothers actually need, not a formula.
She is a mother herself. She understands this experience not just clinically, but personally. Her specialties include breast lifts, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction, and vaginal rejuvenation procedures. Her patients consistently describe feeling genuinely heard in a way that is rare in a medical setting.
That kind of understanding doesn't come from a textbook. It shows in every consultation.
Dr. Olga Bachilo
Instagram: @glamourplasticsurgery | Website: glamourplasticsurgery.com
Dr. Bachilo has earned a very specific reputation in Houston, and I pay attention to specificity: she is known as a mommy makeover specialist. Her signature drainless tummy tuck and exceptional breast surgery work have made her one of the most sought-after surgeons in the city for this combination, attracting patients from across Texas and beyond state lines.
Born in Belarus, she completed all of her training in Texas and has been a Houstonian for years. She is board-certified, personally calls patients the night before and the evening after surgery, and attends every follow-up appointment herself until healing is complete. That level of personal surgeon involvement, not a PA, not a nurse, is genuinely rare and worth paying attention to.
Dr. Edward Chamata
Instagram: @drchamata | Website: drchamata.com
I've included Dr. Chamata across multiple 2026 lists and that is not an accident. A mommy makeover demands a surgeon whose eye for proportion and balance applies simultaneously to the breast and the abdomen, who can look at a woman's complete silhouette and create a result that reads as cohesive, not like two separate procedures stitched together.
Dr. Chamata is board-certified and known throughout Houston for meticulous attention to detail and consistently natural, elegant results. His work holds up across procedures, which is exactly the quality a combination surgery like this requires.
Dr. Kristy Hamilton
Instagram: @drkristyhamiltonplasticsurgery Website: drkristyhamilton.com
Dr. Kristy Hamilton's credentials are exceptional even by Houston's high standards. She earned honors degrees in both mathematics and French at Vanderbilt University, trained at Baylor College of Medicine, is board-certified and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and contributed a chapter to the 9th edition of Grabb and Smith's Plastic Surgery, the most widely used reference textbook in the field globally.
She currently serves as chair of the ASPS social media subcommittee, is regularly featured in major media as a plastic surgery expert, and publishes and presents at national conferences.
Her philosophy is what she calls "The Undetectable Look", enhancing natural beauty with precision and restraint so that the result looks like you at your absolute best, not like surgery. Her mommy makeover outcomes consistently reflect that: balanced, proportionate, and anatomically harmonious. For a woman who wants transformation that reads as completely natural, Dr. Hamilton belongs on the shortlist.
Dr. Patrick Hsu
Instagram: @patrickhsumd | Website: memorialplasticsurgery.com
Dr. Hsu appears on my Tummy Tuck list and my BBL list and he belongs on the Mommy Makeover list too, because a mommy makeover demands surgical excellence across both the breast and the body in a single session. His background as a board-certified microvascular reconstructive surgeon, trained at Baylor College of Medicine with a fellowship at MD Anderson Cancer Center, gives him a precision foundation that produces exceptional outcomes across multiple procedures simultaneously.
Named one of America's Best Plastic Surgeons by Newsweek in 2025. Published co-author of a nationally used plastic surgery textbook. Multiple-time Texas Super Doctor. A practice that treats post-op care as seriously as the surgery itself, which is exactly what you need after a combination procedure like this.
Dr. Kristi Hustak
Instagram: @kristihustakmd | Website: kristihustakmd.com
Multiple award-winning, board-certified, and a consistent presence on my annual Houston lists. Recognized by Texas Monthly Super Doctors, My Face My Body Awards, H Texas Top Docs, and Modern Luxury Magazine's Dynamic Women in Houston, year after year, not as a one-time recognition.
What I want to highlight specifically in the mommy makeover context: Dr. Hustak has co-authored peer-reviewed research on safety protocols for large-volume body contouring procedures, the science governing how combination surgeries should be planned and executed. She doesn't just follow the safety standards. She helped build them.
Dr. Chris Patronella
Instagram: @drpatronella | Website: patronellamd.com
If you've spent any time researching Houston plastic surgery, this name is unavoidable and for good reason.
Dr. Patronella invented the True Form Tummy Tuck®, a technique he refined over a decade and which has been adopted by surgeons across the country. He has been named one of America's Best Plastic Surgeons across four categories: Tummy Tuck, Liposuction, Breast Augmentation, and Rhinoplasty. He is a former president of the Houston Society of Plastic Surgeons, a Clinical Professor at UTMB, and has over four decades of surgical experience.
For a mommy makeover, his tummy tuck technique alone is reason enough to seek a consultation. Combined with his breast surgery expertise and decades of body contouring experience, this is a surgeon who brings a rare level of mastery to every component of this combination procedure.
Dr. Vinaya Rednam
Instagram: @dr.rednam | Website:drrukminirednam.com
Known by her patients as the "Confidence Doc®" a nickname that tells you something real about how women feel after working with her, not just how they look.
Board-certified, fellowship-trained in aesthetic surgery at the University of Florida, and named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor in 2023, 2024, and 2025, a Texas Super Doctor every year since 2021, and a Houstonia Magazine Top Doctor. She specializes in mommy makeovers and body contouring with a particular focus on post-pregnancy restoration.
She brings both the technical excellence and the emotional attunement this procedure demands. She sees the whole woman, not just the combination of procedures in front of her. Her practice spans Houston and The Woodlands.
Dr. Kendall Roehl
Instagram: @kendall.roehlmd
Website: memorialplasticsurgery.com/kendall-r-roehl-md-facs
Triple-accredited: ASPS, ABPS, and the American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery (ASRM). That third credential is rare and directly relevant for a mommy makeover — reconstructive microsurgery training informs the precision of tissue handling, incision placement, and healing protocols in ways that impact your long-term results.
Over a decade of focused surgical experience in breast and body reconstruction as part of the Memorial Plastic Surgery team. Consistent, quietly excellent. She belongs on this list every year.
Dr. Ashley Steinberg
Instagram: @dr.ashleysteinberg | Website: drsteinberg.com
Dr. Ashley Steinberg's path to plastic surgery is one of the more compelling ones I know. She almost went into acting until at 16 she shadowed a surgeon in Canada who taught her to suture on his downtime. That moment changed the entire direction of her life. She went on to earn her medical degree Magna Cum Laude from St. George's University School of Medicine, complete a general surgery residency in Brooklyn, and spend three years training in plastic surgery at Houston Methodist Hospital under leading experts in microsurgery, aesthetics, craniofacial, and hand surgery.
She is board-certified, recognized as a Rising Star Top Doctor in Texas for three consecutive years, has published peer-reviewed articles, and presents at national conferences on patient safety and reconstruction. She runs an LGBTQ-friendly practice in Houston with a bedside manner her patients consistently describe as warm, direct, and immediately disarming.
For the mommy makeover specifically, her dual expertise in breast surgery and body contouring and the depth of her training across multiple surgical disciplines, makes her a strong, well-credentialed choice.
Dr. Vasileios Vasilakis
Instagram: @drvasilakis
Website: memorialplasticsurgery.com/vasileios-vasilakis-md
Double board-certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery and American Board of Surgery. Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Fellowship-trained at the H/K/B Plastic Surgery Center in Charlotte, one of the most prestigious aesthetic surgery fellowships internationally. Chief Resident at Stony Brook University Hospital. Full residencies in both plastic surgery and general surgery.
For a combination procedure like a mommy makeover where precision across multiple surgical areas in a single session is non-negotiable, the breadth and depth of his formal training is exactly what you want underneath your surgeon's hands.
Dr. Nandi Wijay
Instagram: @drwijay | Website: theoaksplasticsurgery.com
A Houston native through and through born here, trained here, building his career here. Dr. Nandi Wijay completed a six-year integrated plastic surgery residency at the University of Texas Medical Branch, rotating through UTMB Galveston, Shriners Hospital for Children Houston, MD Anderson Cancer Center, and multiple community aesthetic practices. He performed over 1,000 cosmetic and reconstructive procedures during training alone.
He co-founded The Oaks Plastic Surgery with his wife, Dr. Danielle Andry and the practice they built together reflects both of their commitments: patient-centered care, safety first, and results that look completely natural. His mommy makeover approach is individualized, his follow-up is personal and accessible, and his patients consistently describe feeling like family from consultation through recovery.
Dr. Abigail Rodriguez
Instagram: @drabigailrodriguez | Website: drrodriguez.com
Board-certified and recognized as an authority in drainless tummy tucks and breast augmentations, two of the primary components of most mommy makeovers. Dr. Rodriguez practices at The Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery, the largest private aesthetic surgery center in the state of Texas.
She grew up in Houston in a medical family, both parents are OB/GYNs, earned her medical degree from Texas A&M University College of Medicine, and was inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society. Her family background in obstetrics has given her an understanding of the post-pregnancy body that most surgeons simply don't bring to the consultation room. For a mommy makeover patient, that context is a genuine advantage.
The Part of This Journey Nobody Warned You About: Recovery
A mommy makeover is a combination surgery. You are healing from multiple procedures simultaneously, your abdomen, your breasts, and often additional areas while managing drains, compression garments, limited mobility, lymphatic massages, and the emotional weight of a significant physical transformation. The first 72 hours are the hardest. The first two weeks are non-negotiable in terms of rest.
I wrote an entire guide on the emotional side of this experience, because it is just as real as the physical one: The Emotional Side of Plastic Surgery — What You Really Need to Know About Mental Health & Transformation. Many women are genuinely surprised by what comes up emotionally during recovery. Reading that before surgery helps you recognize what's normal and what actually needs attention.
But beyond emotional preparation, where you recover matters enormously. And this is something most women don't think about until they are post-op and already realizing they were not prepared.
This is exactly why I built the Recovery Haven. Houston's private, luxury post-op sanctuary designed exclusively for women healing from plastic surgery. It is a space I designed specifically for this moment, with every post-op detail considered:
A recliner lift chair built for tummy tuck and BBL recovery. Spa-quality linens and a walk-in shower designed for healing. A complete recovery supply kit, gloves, gauze, pads, soap, stool softeners, organic teas. Healthy meals tailored to your dietary needs. In-house lymphatic drainage massages which I discuss in depth in my planning guide as a non-negotiable part of your final results. Discreet transportation to and from your follow-up appointments. And a team that coordinates directly with your surgeon to follow your recovery plan exactly, from the first day through full discharge.
Whether you're traveling to Houston for your mommy makeover, or you live here but cannot realistically recover at home with children and life competing for your attention, the Recovery Haven is how you protect the investment you just made in yourself.
