A mommy makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures designed to help women restore their pre-pregnancy body and address common changes that occur after childbirth. It typically involves a combination of procedures such as breast augmentation or lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction, tailored to the individual’s needs, aiming to improve the breasts, abdomen, and overall body contour. By addressing multiple areas of concern in a single surgery, a mommy makeover can provide comprehensive rejuvenation and help women regain their self-confidence and satisfaction with their appearance.

Can I undergo a mommy makeover if I haven’t had children?
It is generally recommended to wait at least six months after childbirth before considering a mommy makeover. This allows your body to heal, stabilize, and for your weight to stabilize, ensuring optimal results and minimizing the risk of complications. However, every woman’s body is unique, so it’s important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate your individual circumstances and provide personalized recommendations based on your specific needs and goals.

Will a mommy makeover help me lose weight?
A mommy makeover is not designed as a weight loss procedure. Its primary goal is to address the physical changes that occur after pregnancy and childbirth, such as sagging breasts, excess abdominal skin, and separated abdominal muscles. While the procedure can enhance your body contours and restore a more youthful appearance, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise and a balanced diet to achieve and maintain your desired weight.

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks and potential complications associated with a mommy makeover. These can include infection, bleeding, scarring, adverse reaction to anesthesia, blood clots, fluid accumulation, changes in sensation, and unsatisfactory aesthetic outcomes. However, choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in mommy makeovers, following pre and post-operative instructions diligently, and having open and honest communication with your surgeon can help minimize these risks and optimize your chances of a successful and safe outcome.

What type of anesthesia is used during a mommy makeover?
During a mommy makeover, general anesthesia is typically used to ensure the patient’s comfort and safety throughout the procedure. General anesthesia allows the patient to be completely asleep and unaware during the surgery. Your anesthesia provider will closely monitor you during the entire surgery to ensure your well-being and provide a smooth and pain-free experience.
