What is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a combination of surgical procedures designed to help women regain their pre-pregnancy body shape and address common concerns that arise after childbirth and breastfeeding. Typically, a mommy makeover focuses on the breasts and abdomen, areas most affected by pregnancy.

The obvious advantages of a mommy makeover are one preparation, one surgical date, and one recovery process. But this procedure does more than save time, it also offers a tailored approach. With its customizable list of procedures, a mommy makeover resolves the aesthetic concerns unique to you and restores confidence in your individual beauty.

What Procedures Are Typically Included in a Mommy Makeover?

There is no single formula for a mommy makeover. Instead, our surgeons assist each patient to select the specific procedures that are right for you. A mommy makeover could include any combination of the following:

  • Breast Augmentation or Breast Lift helps with fuller breasts. Many times, pregnancy and nursing can cause breasts to become smaller or to droop. A breast augmentation can restore fullness and a breast lift can restore the breasts to their pre-pregnancy position.

  • Breast Reduction can provide several benefits. It’s not uncommon for larger breasts to cause pain in the neck, upper back or shoulders. Breast reduction can bring relief to this pain and other discomfort from large breasts such as skin rashes.

  • Tummy Tuck addresses stretched out abdominal muscles and excess skin and fat on the belly. The tummy tuck is typically one of the main components of a mommy makeover.

  • Liposuction is a way to further sculpt areas of the body where weight refuses to disappear. Liposuction along with a tummy tuck helps to provide a slimmer waistline, providing a more fit appearance.

Are Mommy Makeovers only for mothers?

Absolutely not! Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding aren’t the only reasons for combining surgeries. The natural aging process and significant weight changes can also take a toll on the breasts and body and motivate anyone to have multiple procedures performed in one surgery.

Candidates

If you are interested in a makeover with a combination of surgical procedures, the first step is to schedule a consultation. We offer both virtual and in-person options for a consultation. During the consultation, we will discuss your eligibility for a mommy makeover. It is important to note that these procedures deal with body contouring, not weight loss. You’ll need to be at a healthy, stable weight before your procedure. Additionally, ideal candidates for a mommy makeover include those who have completed their families as future pregnancies can affect the results. Also, we recommend that you be able to take a couple of weeks off to focus on recovery. This includes avoiding any heavy lifting or strenuous activities.

Because combining procedures will increase the cost of surgery, Amaira Med Spa & Surgical has convenient and accessible options to help finance your cosmetic surgery costs.

Preparation

Patients will be briefed on the preparatory steps they need to complete before surgery. Each patient will have their own unique set of instructions but following a few general guidelines will ensure a smooth procedure with excellent results.

1.

Adjust medications as instructed, including NSAIDs and other blood-thinning prescriptions and supplements.

2.

Designate a responsible adult to drive you home once the surgery is complete.

3.

Fill the prescriptions that the Doctor has ordered in advance of your procedure.

4.

Arrange to take 1-2 weeks off from work.

Patients can expect to have a pre-operative appointment with our surgeon 2 weeks or less prior to your surgery date. You’ll have the opportunity to ask any last-minute questions and review the details of your procedure. Patients will have their mommy makeover treatment done at our state-of-the-art surgical facilities.

Recovery

As the effects of the anesthesia wear off over the next few days, you’ll experience moderate discomfort, swelling, and bruising around the treated areas. Taking the prescribed medication and following your post-op instructions will ensure that your recovery goes smoothly and that you heal according to schedule. In general, the recovery period for a mommy makeover ranges from 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the procedures completed.

You’ll return to Amaira Med Spa & Surgical for regular follow-up appointments so that we can monitor your progress.

Pregnancy can significantly change your breasts and abdominal area, which may impact or even reverse the results of your surgery. If you want to enjoy your results long-term, we recommend waiting until you’re done having children before getting a mommy makeover.

If your mommy makeover includes breast augmentation (implants) or a breast lift, it might affect your ability to breastfeed. Some women experience no issues. It’s crucial to discuss your breastfeeding plans with the surgeon beforehand.

A mommy makeover will likely result in some scarring because the procedures involve incisions. Common incisions for a mommy makeover include around the breasts, along the lower abdomen, and in the pubic area. However, the type and visibility of the scars will depend on the procedures chosen and the patient’s skin type. Our surgeons try to make incisions as discreetly as possible to minimize scarring and hide it in natural skin folds. Effective post-surgery care can also help minimize scarring, including wearing compression garments to reduce swelling and support healing.

It typically takes 6-8 weeks of recovery before you can return to any strenuous exercise.

Following a mommy makeover or any surgery, it is usually best to avoid drinking alcohol for at least 6 weeks. One must refrain from alcohol until any prescribed antibiotics or pain medications are finished.
