Kaveh P

Considering a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of procedures designed to restore your pre-pregnancy body. This can include breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, lipo360, and other procedures tailored to your needs. Here are five crucial things to know before you embark on this transformative journey.

1. What Procedures Are Included?

A Mommy Makeover isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. It typically combines multiple procedures such as:

  • Breast Augmentation or Lift: To restore volume and shape.

  • Tummy Tuck: To remove excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles.

  • Liposuction: To eliminate stubborn fat deposits.

  • Body Contouring: To enhance the overall shape.

Each Mommy Makeover is unique and customized to address your specific concerns and aesthetic goals. Discussing your options with a board-certified plastic surgeon will help determine the best combination of procedures for you.

2. How Will Recovery Be Managed?

Recovery from a Mommy Makeover involves multiple areas of your body, so it's essential to plan accordingly:

  • Downtime: Expect to take at least two to three weeks off work. Full recovery can take up to two months.

  • Help at Home: Arrange for help with household chores and childcare, especially during the initial recovery phase.

  • Follow-Up Care: Regular follow-up appointments with your surgeon are crucial to monitor your healing progress and address any concerns.

Recovery is a significant commitment, but proper planning and support can ensure a smooth and successful process.

3. What Are the Benefits Beyond Physical Appearance?

A Mommy Makeover offers more than just physical benefits:

  • Boosted Confidence: Many women experience a renewed sense of confidence and self-esteem.

  • Improved Comfort: Addressing issues like loose skin and separated abdominal muscles can improve physical comfort and functionality.

  • Enhanced Quality of Life: Feeling better about your body can positively impact your overall quality of life, including your personal and professional interactions.

Discussing your goals and expectations with your Mommy Makeover surgeon can help align the outcomes with your desired benefits.

4. How Does Timing Affect Results?

The timing of your Mommy Makeover is crucial for optimal results:

  • Post-Childbirth: Ensure you have completed your family planning, as future pregnancies can affect your results.

  • Weight Stability: Be at or near your ideal weight, as significant weight fluctuations can impact the longevity of your results.

  • Seasonal Considerations: Fall and winter are popular times for surgery due to cooler weather, making it easier to manage recovery and cover up post-surgical garments.

Proper timing helps maximize the longevity and effectiveness of your Mommy Makeover.

5. What Are the Costs and Financing Options?

Understanding the financial aspects of a Mommy Makeover is essential:

  • Comprehensive Costs: The cost varies depending on the combination of procedures. Discussing a detailed quote during your consultation is crucial.

  • Financing Options: We offer financing plans to make the procedures more affordable. Explore options such as payment plans or medical credit cards during your free consultation.

  • Insurance Considerations: While cosmetic procedures are typically not covered by insurance, some elements, like hernia repair or breast reduction may be partially covered.
