The Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of surgeries, which may include a Tummy Tuck, Breast Augmentation, Breast Lift, Liposuction, and Vaginal Rejuvenation, based on the patient’s preferences.
A Mommy Makeover combines several surgeries based on your goals. It may include a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, breast lift, liposuction, or vaginal rejuvenation.
First, to be a good candidate, you should be in overall good health and not smoke. Next, you should not have any medical issues that could slow down healing. Most importantly, you need to have realistic expectations, which we’ll discuss during your consultation.
A mommy makeover is a custom treatment plan that combines several cosmetic procedures to help you reach your desired look.
First, common procedures include breast augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction, and vaginal rejuvenation.
Next, this approach allows you to focus on your personal goals—whether you want fuller breasts, a more sculpted body, smoother skin, labiaplasty, or a mix of all.
One big advantage is the shorter recovery time. Instead of healing from each surgery one by one, combining them means you only recover once. As a result, you heal faster and return to daily life sooner.
Most importantly, a mommy makeover can boost your confidence and help you feel more like yourself again.
-Restoration of pre-pregnancy body shape and weight fluctuations.
– Combines multiple procedures to restore original contours, including skin tightening and breast lifting.
– Improves self-esteem by restoring body to its pre-pregnancy state.
– Allows for multiple concerns to be addressed in one or two surgical sessions.
-Possibility of complications such as infection, hemorrhage, and anesthesia reactions.
– Increased risk associated with combining multiple surgical procedures.
– Generally constitutes a significant financial investment, varying based on specific procedures.
– Recovery can last several weeks or months, depending on the procedures performed.
Here’s a simplified, active voice version with shorter sentences and clear transitions:
CONSULTATION
During your mommy makeover consultation, be ready to talk about:
•Your goals for surgery
•Any medical conditions, allergies, or ongoing treatments
•Medications, vitamins, supplements, and use of alcohol, tobacco, or recreational drugs
•Any past surgeries
Your plastic surgeon will:
•Check your overall health and note any risk factors
•Examine areas like your breasts, abdomen, genitals, and/or buttocks
•Take measurements of size, shape, and skin quality
•Take photos for your medical file
•Go over your options and recommend a treatment plan
•Explain possible results, risks, and complications
Be open during your consultation and ask any questions. It’s important to fully understand your options. To help, we’ve included a checklist of questions to bring with you.
DAY OF SURGERY
Do not eat or drink anything after midnight before your surgery.
When you arrive, the team will:
1.Mark your incision sites
2.Start an IV to give fluids, anesthesia, and pain medicine
3.Use monitors to check your heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels
Then, your plastic surgeon will perform the procedures discussed. These may include:
Tummy Tuck:
The surgeon makes an incision on your abdomen, lifts the skin and fat, and tightens the muscles. A mini tummy tuck focuses below the belly button. A full tummy tuck covers the entire abdomen.
Breast Augmentation:
The surgeon makes an incision under the breast or around the areola, then places an implant in a pocket under the breast tissue.
Breast Lift:
The surgeon makes one or more cuts, removes extra skin, reshapes the tissue, and repositions the nipples and areolae.
Breast Reduction:
The surgeon removes extra fat, tissue, and skin, often adjusting the nipples and surrounding areas to improve shape and size.
Liposuction:
The surgeon makes small cuts and uses a thin tube (cannula) to remove fat from targeted areas.
SURGERY DURATION
Your total surgery time depends on the procedures included:
•Tummy Tuck: 1.5–2 hours (mini) or 2–3 hours (full)
•Breast Augmentation: 1–2 hours
•Breast Lift: 1–3 hours
•Breast Reduction: 3–4 hours
•Liposuction: 30+ minutes, depending on the area
If your total surgery time is expected to go over six hours, your surgeon may recommend splitting it into two separate sessions, spaced about three months apart.
Patients who see the best results usually plan ahead. A tummy tuck typically requires about two weeks of recovery.
However, normal bending and lifting may be limited for three to four weeks. So, it helps to prepare meals ahead of time, freeze them, order takeout, or ask someone to help with cooking. If you have young children, it’s also a good idea to arrange for childcare during this time.
To get the best results, give your body the time and rest it needs to heal properly.
For most patients, at 3 months the results are great, but it takes a full year to see the final mommy makeover results.
The risk of death from a mommy makeover is very low. However, like all surgeries, there are some risks. Even so, serious complications are rare.
First, it’s important to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience. Then, if you’re a good candidate for the procedure, the chance of major problems becomes extremely small.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost of a Mommy Makeover is estimated to range from $9,000 to $20,000.
