The objective of a mommy makeover is to rejuvenate a woman’s body shape and appearance after childbirth, addressing the various changes that commonly occur post-pregnancy. Women often experience alterations in multiple areas, with the breasts, abdomen, waist, genitalia, and buttocks being the most commonly addressed.

Typically performed in a single-stage procedure, a mommy makeover involves various techniques, and several factors are considered in selecting the most suitable ones:

• Desired amount of restoration
• Placement of the incisions
• Type of implant used

Potential procedures in a mommy makeover include breast augmentation, breast lift, buttock augmentation, labiaplasty, liposuction, and tummy tuck.

Is it right for me?

A Mommy Makeover is a highly individualized procedure, and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else’s desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image. 

Mommy Makeover may be a good option for you if you are:

• Good medical health
• Ideal body weight
• Positive outlook and realistic expectations
• Finished with childbearing

Your consultation is your time to ask the doctor about the procedure you’re considering, how he thinks it will work for you and any concerns you may have.

Questions to Consider:

• What is the simplest and safest surgery to help me achieve my goals?
• Are other options available?
• What results can I expect, and how long do the typical results last?
• Where will scars be located, and how noticeable will they be?
• Will scars fade over time, and how long will this take?

Your surgeon will:

• Assess your overall health and any pre-existing conditions or risk factors.
• Capture photographs for reference.
• Examine your body and take measurements. 
• Discuss your options. 
• Recommend a course of treatment. 

After your consultation with the physician, you will meet with the practice manager to discuss procedure costs.

Comprehensive comprehension of every facet of your mommy makeover procedure is crucial. It’s normal to experience a range of emotions, from excitement about the anticipated transformation to a bit of preoperative stress. Don’t hesitate to openly discuss these feelings with your plastic surgeon.

There are several things to do prior to your procedure that will make your recovery as smooth as possible and ease your pre-procedure anxiety.

Your Pre-Op Checklist:

• Make sure you have arranged for someone to drive you to surgery and stay with you for at least 24 hours. 
• Consult with your surgeon and adhere to their instructions.
• Take prescribed medications or modify current medication as directed.
• Complete necessary lab tests within 30 days of your procedure.
• Cease smoking, alcohol consumption, and drug use.
• Refrain from taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, or herbal supplements to mitigate potential bleeding.

 Day of Surgery:

• Be on time for your scheduled surgery appointment.

• Use antibacterial soap for a thorough body wash before the procedure.

Recovery durations after a Mommy Makeover vary for each patient (days to months).

• When can I safely resume normal activities and exercise?
