Many women experience significant body changes after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause lasting changes to various body areas,
particularly the breasts and abdomen. While diet and exercise are important, they often cannot address issues like stretched skin, separated abdominal muscles, and breast changes. Mommy makeover surgery offers a comprehensive solution by combining multiple procedures in a single operation.
Wait until completed childbearing Maintain stable weight before surgery
Recovery requires family support Multiple areas heal simultaneously
Results appear gradually as swelling subsides Healthy lifestyle maintains results
How long should I wait after pregnancy for a mommy makeover?
It’s recommended to wait at least 6 months after completing breastfeeding and reaching a stable weight before having surgery.
Can I have more children after a mommy makeover?
While it’s possible, it’s recommended to wait until you’ve completed childbearing, as future pregnancies can affect your surgical results.
How long is the recovery period?
Initial recovery takes 1-2 weeks, with full recovery in 6-8 weeks. Having support at home is essential, especially if you have young children.
Will I have visible scars?
Yes, but incisions are strategically placed to be hidden by clothing or swimwear. Scars typically fade significantly over time with proper care.
Is it safe to have multiple procedures at once?
Yes, combining procedures can actually be safer than multiple separate surgeries as it reduces total anesthesia exposure. However, we strictly limit surgery time to 6-7 hours maximum for patient safety. If more procedures are needed beyond this time limit, we recommend staging them as separate operations to ensure optimal safety and results. How long do mommy makeover results last?
Results can be long-lasting with maintained weight and healthy lifestyle. However, natural aging continues normally.
How much pain should I expect?
Discomfort varies by procedures performed but is typically well-managed with prescribed medication. Most patients report feeling better than expected.
