FAQ: the Mommy Makeover Procedure

While becoming a mother is one of the most joyful life events a woman can experience, pregnancy can take its toll on your body. While motherhood should remain your top priority, it is also important for a woman to feel good about herself, while taking care of her growing family!

For women looking to improve their appearance following pregnancy, the Mommy Makeover procedure may be a good option. Let’s answer some common questions women have about this procedure.

Top 4 Questions about the Mommy Makeover Procedure.

  1. What exactly is the Mommy Makeover procedure? A Mommy Makeover is a customized plastic surgery procedure, which will help restore your body following the life-changing events  of pregnancy. A Mommy Makeover combines several breast and body procedures, including a breast lift, reduction, or augmentations, and a tummy tuck, into one surgery.
  2. What will this surgery involve? The procedure is highly-customizable, and will often vary based on the procedures the patient’s specific desires, and needs. During a breast lift, breasts will be lifted higher on the chest, achieving a more youthful, uplifted contour.  Pregnancy often causes breasts to look “deflated,” an issue that can be corrected with breast implants. Enlarged breasts can be reduced in size, so they look and feel more comfortable. A tummy tuck will flatten and shape the abdomen, giving the patient a smaller, more desirable waist!
  3. Who is a good candidate for this surgery? Ideal candidates for this procedure should be otherwise healthy women who are at a stable weight, and are no longer breastfeeding. Women are usually advised to wait about 6 months after pregnancy before undergoing the surgery. Women who plan to become pregnant in the future are normally advised to hold off on the procedure, since future pregnancies can disrupt the results of surgery!
  4. How long does it take to recover from this procedure? The recovery time associated with this procedure often varies. For many patients, several weeks will be needed for a complete recovery, though many will be able to return to regular activities after a week. Strenuous exercises should be avoided for several weeks, post-surgery.
