OVERVIEW OF MOMMY MAKEOVER

On the day of your mommy makeover, there are several things you can expect. Here’s an overview of what typically happens:

Pre-surgical preparations: You will arrive at the surgical facility or hospital where your procedure will take place. You may be asked to change into a surgical gown and remove any jewelry or accessories. You will then meet with your surgical team, including your surgeon, anesthesiologist and nurse, to review the procedure and address any last-minute questions or concerns.

Anesthesia: You may be given a anxiolytics or anti-anxiety medication to help you relax. Then you will be taken to the operating room, where anesthesia will be administered. The surgical team will perform a safety checklist, called a “time out” to confirm drug allergies, any need for antibiotics, or other concerns.

Surgery: Once you are under anesthesia, the surgical team will perform the planned procedures as discussed and agreed upon during your consultation. The specific sequence of procedures and the duration of the surgery will depend on your individual treatment plan.

Monitoring and recovery: After the surgery is completed, you will be moved to a recovery area or a designated post-operative care unit. Here, you will be closely monitored by medical professionals as you awaken from anesthesia. They will assess your vital signs, provide pain management as needed, and ensure your comfort and safety.

Post-operative care instructions: Once you are sufficiently recovered from anesthesia, your surgeon or a member of the surgical team will provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions. This may include guidelines for pain management, wound care, medications, activity restrictions, and wearing compression garments, if applicable. It’s important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper healing and optimize your results.

Discharge or overnight stay: Depending on the extent of your mommy makeover and your surgeon’s recommendation, you may be discharged on the same day or advised to stay overnight for observation. If you are discharged, you will need to have a responsible adult accompany you home and assist you during the initial recovery period.

It’s important to note that the specifics of your mommy makeover procedure will be tailored to your individual needs. Your surgeon and their team will guide you through the entire process, from pre-surgical preparations to post-operative care, ensuring your comfort and well-being throughout your mommy makeover journey.

BENEFITS

Women who have completed childbearing may notice their bodies are now different. Breasts appear deflated and sag. Despite weight loss, the abdomen is not as tight as before. Extra loose skin may be present on the belly. Some women note contour issues with their c-section scars.
The “mommy makeover” is a term used to describe a group of procedures designed to address these concerns.

A mommy makeover typically refers to a combination of cosmetic procedures designed to address the physical changes that occur in a woman’s body as a result of pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. While the specific procedures included in a mommy makeover can vary based on individual needs and goals, it often involves a combination of the following:

Breast augmentation or lift: Pregnancy and breastfeeding can lead to changes in breast size, shape, and firmness. Breast augmentation with implants may be performed to increase breast volume and restore fullness. Alternatively, a breast lift may be done to lift and reshape sagging breasts.

Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty): Pregnancy can cause stretching of the abdominal muscles and skin, leading to loose skin, stretch marks, and a protruding abdomen. A tummy tuck involves removing excess skin, tightening the abdominal muscles, and reshaping the waistline for a flatter and more toned abdomen.

Liposuction: Liposuction may be included to remove stubborn pockets of fat that have accumulated in various areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, or love handles. It can help enhance overall body contour and restore pre-pregnancy shape.

It’s important to note that a mommy makeover is a customizable procedure tailored to each individual’s needs and goals. The specific combination of procedures will depend on factors such as the patient’s concerns, anatomical considerations, and desired outcomes.

CANDIDATES FOR MOMMY MAKEOVER

A good candidate for a mommy makeover is typically a woman who has experienced significant physical changes in her body due to pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding, and desires to restore her pre-pregnancy figure. A mommy make over is best performed on women who are in good health, close to their ideal body weight, non-smokers, and do not plan on any future pregnancies. Here are some characteristics of a good candidate for a mommy makeover:

Post-pregnancy changes: The candidate should have experienced physical changes such as stretched abdominal muscles, loose skin, excess fat deposits, sagging breasts, or changes in breast volume and shape as a result of pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Completed childbearing: It is generally recommended that candidates have completed their childbearing before undergoing a mommy makeover. Additional pregnancies following the procedure may compromise the results achieved through surgery.

Stable weight: Candidates should be at a stable and healthy weight, as significant weight fluctuations can impact the long-term results of the procedure. It’s important to reach a stable weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise before considering a mommy makeover. We recommend being at a stable weight for 6 months.

Good overall health: Being in good general health is essential for any surgical procedure, including a mommy makeover. Candidates should have no underlying medical conditions that could increase the risks associated with surgery and the recovery process. It is common for plastic surgeons to conduct a comprehensive medical evaluation to ensure a candidate’s suitability for the procedure.

Realistic expectations: Candidates should have realistic expectations about the outcomes of a mommy makeover. While the procedure can achieve significant improvements, it is important to understand that it is not a guarantee of perfection or an exact replication of pre-pregnancy appearance.

Emotional readiness: Undergoing a mommy makeover is a personal decision that requires emotional readiness and a positive mindset. Candidates should have a clear understanding of the procedure, risks, and recovery process.

MOMMY MAKEOVER RECOVERY

The recovery depends on the combination of procedure chosen for a mommy makeover.
Patients may shower the day after surgery. The recovery timeline varies depending on the extent of the procedures performed and individual healing rates. In general, most patients can expect to return to light activities within a week or two. However, it may take several weeks to fully recover and resume normal daily activities. Strenuous activities and exercise will typically be gradually reintroduced over several weeks.

Support and assistance: It is essential to have a support system in place during your recovery, especially if you have young children. Enlist the help of family members or friends to assist with childcare and household tasks during the initial phase of recovery.

Long-term results: The final results of your mommy makeover will gradually emerge as swelling subsides and your body heals. It’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, to optimize and maintain your results.
