After two kids my core never came back, no matter how much I trained. The muscle repair made a bigger difference than I expected, and the recovery plan meant I always knew what week two and week six should feel like.Danielle R.Calgary, Mahogany
Mommy makeover for Strathmore patients
A plan built to keep highway trips into Calgary to a minimum.
Planning surgery from Strathmore
Strathmore is the main town in Wheatland County, east of Calgary along the Trans-Canada. Patients from Strathmore and the surrounding farms and acreages often have the longest drive of anyone we see, so we plan around it from the start.
A mommy makeover brings procedures such as a tummy tuck and a breast lift into one operation. For patients further out, that matters even more: one surgery means one set of trips, one recovery and one period away from work, the farm or the family.
How we reduce trips for Strathmore patients
- An optional phone or video conversation before your in-person consultation
- Pre-operative tests and visit scheduled on the same day where possible
- Follow-ups grouped with recovery care appointments
- Clear written instructions so you know what to watch for at home
A typical plan for Strathmore patients
- Introductory callTalk through goals, timing and rough costs before you make the drive.
- ConsultationIn-person assessment, written plan and itemised estimate in one visit.
- SurgeryTravel home reclined as a passenger, or stay one night in Calgary if you prefer.
- Follow-upsGrouped visits over the first few months, with phone check-ins in between.
Physical work and recovery
If your days involve lifting feed, handling animals or other heavy work, plan for help. After a tummy tuck with muscle repair, most surgeons advise no heavy lifting for about six weeks and a gradual return over the following months. Your surgeon will give you specific limits based on the work you do.
Procedures Strathmore moms often combine
- Tummy tuck with muscle repair
- Breast reduction or lift
- Liposuction
- Labiaplasty under the same anaesthetic
What moms across the Calgary region say
I was nervous about looking overdone. We talked through sizing for almost an hour and the result looks like me before breastfeeding, just lifted.Priya S.Airdrie
The consultation was honest. I came in asking for a full tummy tuck and was told a mini plus some lipo would suit me better. They were right.Megan T.Cochrane
Having both procedures done together meant one recovery instead of two. My husband took two weeks off, my mom helped with the kids, and the staged plan made it manageable.Alyssa K.Okotoks
Mommy makeover questions from Strathmore
How long is the drive from Strathmore to Calgary?
Most Strathmore patients reach east Calgary in about 35 to 45 minutes on the Trans-Canada Highway, and central Calgary in roughly 50 minutes.
Should I stay in Calgary after surgery?
Most patients can travel home the same day or the next. Some Strathmore patients prefer one night nearby so the first follow-up is a short trip.
Can I have a virtual consultation first?
An initial phone or video conversation can cover your goals and questions. An in-person assessment is still needed before surgery can be planned.

Usually a consultation, a pre-operative visit, surgery day and three to five follow-ups over several months. We group them wherever possible.
