What to Expect After a Mommy Makeover

Has pregnancy changed your body in ways you would like to undo? Your breasts, stomach, and many other areas change dramatically during pregnancy. Reclaim your pre-baby figure with a mommy makeover, and stop letting sagging skin or other concerns hold you back from enjoying the activities and clothing styles you love. 

What is a Mommy Makeover?

If you have been pregnant, you have most likely experienced at least some of its effects on your body. The most common include sagging skin and fat around the abdomen, drooping breasts or lost breast volume, and accumulated fat in other areas. A mommy makeover is a customized procedure that addresses all your concerns during one surgery to provide complete body rejuvenation. 

What is Included in a Mommy Makeover?

Each mommy makeover is unique and based on your goals and concerns. Your surgeon will develop a treatment plan to provide your desired results. This plan can include:

• Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
• Breast augmentation, breast lift, or breast reduction
• Liposuction
• Vaginal rejuvenation
• Laser treatments
• Injectables

Discuss all your concerns during your consultation so we can develop a plan that achieves your goals and gives you the best possible results. 

What to Expect After a Mommy Makeover

A mommy makeover combines several procedures, each with a different recovery process. Fortunately, having these procedures together does not increase your overall recovery time. Instead, you can base your recovery time around your tummy tuck, which will take the longest to heal. 

Mommy Makeover Recovery

Treated areas may be bruised, swollen, and sore immediately after surgery. You will have compression garments to wear that will help shape your final results. You can expect to take one to three weeks off work and other activities. Most people can resume their exercise routine after about six weeks, but each person’s recovery process is different. 

Mommy Makeover Results

While most swelling resolves after a few weeks, some will take three to six months to disappear. You will see a slimmer, more sculpted figure that restores your pre-baby confidence in your body. While mommy makeover results can last a lifetime, the effects of aging will cause changes over time. A healthy lifestyle will assist you in maintaining your sculpted figure. 

Am I a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a significant procedure, so candidates should be in good health and have reasonable expectations. Good candidates want to restore a more youthful, sculpted figure after pregnancy. People with certain medical conditions should not have this procedure. 

Candidates should be at least six months to a year after their last pregnancy before planning a mommy makeover. If you plan to become pregnant again, we recommend waiting to have this procedure since pregnancy can undo many of your results.
