A mommy makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures that reshape the area’s most affected by pregnancy. The most common procedures are breast augmentation or breast lift, abdominoplasty, and liposuction. An ideal candidate for a mommy makeover is in good overall health and gave birth at least 6 months ago. The candidate will have excess skin and stretch marks from their previous pregnancy. They should also have reasonable expectations and not expect to look exactly how they did pre-pregnancy.
After the mommy makeover procedure, most patients return to work within two weeks. The side effects may include bruising, swelling, and soreness. Any side effects will improve within a week. While recovering it is important to rest, avoid lifting anything heavy, and walk slowly around the house. Each mommy makeover is uniquely customized to the individual and the procedures chosen. Most women will have breast, abdominal, and liposuction procedures done. For the results of this procedure to be long-lasting, you should not plan on having any more children.
