A good candidate is a woman in good health who has completed her family and wants to address changes in her body post-pregnancy.
The mommy makeover is designed to address body changes resulting from pregnancy. It’s best to wait until you have finished having children before undergoing this procedure. Additionally, since the makeover requires significant downtime, ensure you have family or friends available to assist you and your children at home during your recovery period.
Results are visible immediately after surgery, with continued improvement over several months as the body heals.
The results are long-lasting, especially when maintained with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
There is a recovery period that varies depending on the extent of the procedures. Side effects may include temporary discomfort, swelling, and bruising.
Before the treatment, follow your surgeon’s pre-operative instructions, such as avoiding certain medications. After the treatment, follow post-operative care guidelines, attend follow-up appointments, and avoid strenuous activities for a specified period.
During the treatment, multiple procedures are performed under general anesthesia. The surgery duration depends on the specific procedures included. There is typically some discomfort and swelling after the procedure, which will gradually subside as your body heals.
A mommy makeover often involves multiple procedures that are best scheduled separately rather than all at once. For instance, breast augmentation requires several weeks for recovery, during which patients may experience swelling and soreness. It’s advisable to consult with your surgeon to create a treatment plan that spaces out each surgery and recovery period. This approach accommodates work, childcare, and daily life demands, minimizing the disruption caused by extended recovery from a single, extensive procedure.
