Typically combining surgeries like tummy tuck, breast lift (with or without implants), and liposuction, a Mommy Makeover addresses common postpartum concerns including:
All procedures are performed during one surgical session, under general anesthesia. Depending on your needs.
Recovery time varies for each patient, but you should expect an initial recovery period of about two weeks, during which you will need assistance with daily tasks. Most patients can return to work and light activities within this time, with full recovery and a return to strenuous exercise taking several months.
The results of a mommy makeover are generally long-lasting. However, maintaining a stable weight through a healthy diet and regular exercise is crucial to preserving your new contours. Future pregnancies can compromise the results, which is why it is recommended to have the procedure once you are finished having children.
While it is not medically unsafe to have future pregnancies, it is strongly recommended that you wait until you are finished having children before undergoing a mommy makeover. A future pregnancy would stretch the abdominal skin and muscles again, compromising the results of the tummy tuck.
