A Mommy Makeover procedure is a combination of surgeries designed to reshape your figure after the changes of pregnancy. This typically includes the breasts, abdomen, buttocks, and thighs.
A Mommy Makeover typically takes between 4 to 6 hours, depending on the combination and complexity of procedures being performed, such as breast surgery, tummy tuck, and liposuction. The total time can vary based on the extent of each procedure and individual factors like body size and goals.
The recovery time for a mommy makeover varies depending on the specific procedures performed and individual factors, but generally, patients can expect a recovery period of about 2 to 6 weeks. Initial recovery involves managing swelling, bruising, and discomfort, with most people returning to light activities within 1 to 2 weeks. Full recovery, where you can resume all normal activities and exercise, typically takes around 6 weeks. Following post-operative care instructions and attending follow-up appointments with your surgeon are crucial for optimal healing and results.
Women considering a Mommy Makeover should be certain they are finished having children, as the results from the surgery may be altered after giving birth. New stretching of the skin and abdominal muscle laxity may occur, the size of the breasts may change and new pockets of fat may appear. If necessary, another Mommy Makeover surgery could be performed.
The results from a Mommy Makeover are long-lasting, given that a healthy weight is maintained and there are no additional pregnancies.
