Mommy Makeover Q&A
What is a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover is a surgical procedure in which the team at Luminary Dermatology combines more than one type of plastic surgery to help you achieve the body of your dreams. They may combine two or more of the following treatments:
Tummy tuck
During a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty, your provider surgically removes excess skin and fat within your abdominal region. They tighten abdominal muscles and skin to give you the smooth, flat midsection you desire.
Breast procedures
Breast procedures that Luminary Dermatology offers with a mommy makeover include breast augmentation, breast enlargement, breast lift, breast reconstruction, or breast reduction. The team can use fat transfers or breast implants to augment the breasts.
Body contouring/liposuction
With body liposuction and body contouring, your provider suctions fat out of areas of your body containing stubborn fat pockets. Depending on your desired contours, they can transfer the suctioned fat to your breasts or buttocks.
Am I a good candidate for a mommy makeover?
To determine whether you’re a good candidate for a mommy makeover, the team reviews your medical history and completes an exam. You must have realistic expectations, be in good health, and commit to a proper recovery to be considered for the procedure.
It’s ideal to wait until your body has fully recovered from pregnancy and breastfeeding prior to surgery. Maintain a desirable body weight for three months before a mommy makeover. To achieve long-lasting results, don’t plan to become pregnant after surgery.
What happens during a mommy makeover?
Follow the Luminary Dermatology pre-surgical instructions, including not smoking, stopping certain medications, and following a nutritious, high-protein meal plan. Avoid eating and drinking the morning of surgery, and plan to have someone drive you home after the procedure.
You’re given general anesthesia to keep you asleep during surgery. Your provider completes your personalized mommy makeover, which may take several hours or longer. They stitch up incisions and take you to a recovery room to relax.
What should I expect after surgery?
After a mommy makeover, you’ll need a caregiver for 24-48 hours. Get a lot of rest and take all medications as prescribed. You can return to normal daily activities about two to five weeks into your recovery. Don’t drive until you’re no longer taking pain medicine.
Don’t live with sagging breasts, fat bulges, or an undesirable body shape after giving birth. Schedule a mommy makeover consultation with the Luminary Dermatology team over the phone or online today.
