Mamica Makeover
The mommy makeover is a combination of cosmetic & aesthetic procedures for women that we perform after child bearing and aging on the face, breasts, and body.
A mommy makeover generally includes;
A full abdominoplasty (tummytuck), a surgical procedure designed to eliminate the loose skin and excess fat apparent after child birth.
Breast surgeries (Breast reduction, Breast Lift)
Liposuction
Scar revision of Caesarean section.
The Mommy Makeover Procedure
A mommy makeover is a fairly standard combination of cosmetic surgery procedures that are performed together during a one operation: a breast lift, a tummytuck, and liposuction (normally of the tummy and lower body). These are, in fact, the most common plastic surgery procedures for women overall. Sometimes breast augmentation using implants is also performed, if necessary ordesired, and women who have had a Caesare an section mayopt for scar revision.
These procedures collectively address the most common effects of birthing and breast feeding on a woman’s body: weight gain and skin stretching in the abdomen, and loss of firmness and possible “deflation” in the breasts. The advantage of a mommy makeover is that there sults are achieved all at once, and there covery times for multiple procedures are combined. A woman achieves (orrecovers) the body image she wants in one fells woop.

There sults are ordinarily positive and complications are rare. Never the less, there are always risks associated with surgery, and there respecific complications associated with the procedures that may be performed during body contouring.
Our surgeon willd is cuss these risks with youth oroughly during the consultation process.
Post-operative complications such as infectionand blood clots are rare. Infection can be treated with drainage and antibiotics, but may require a hospital stay. You can minimize the risk of blood clots by moving around as soon as possible after the surgery.
Poor healing, which can result in conspicuous scars, may require a second operation. Smokers are advised to quit, as smoking may increase the risk of complications and delay healing.
You can reduce your risk of complications by closely following your surgeon’s instructions be for and after the surgery, especially with regard to when and how you should resume physical activity.
