Discomfort such as bruising and swelling may occur during the recovery process in mommy makeover and this varies from patient to patient. Pain management such as pain medication prescribed by our doctors and cold compresses can help reduce pain. Following post-operative instructions and wearing compression garments will help recovery.

The amount of weight that can be lost with a mommy makeover depends on the type of surgery that is performed and the individual's overall health and lifestyle habits. Generally speaking, people who undergo liposuction or tummy tucks as part of their mommy makeover can expect to lose between five and fifteen pounds.

The specific procedures included in a mommy makeover vary depending on the individual's concerns and goals. Common procedures may include breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, liposuction of the abdomen, hips, thighs, or other areas, and sometimes additional procedures like a thigh lift or arm lift.

While some initial results may be visible shortly after surgery, it can take several weeks to months for swelling to fully subside and for the final results to become apparent. By following the post-operative instructions of our medical team and plastic surgeons, you will achieve the best possible result.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, can help prolong the results of a mommy makeover. Additionally, it's essential to attend scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon and address any changes or concerns that may arise to maintain the best possible outcome for as long as possible. While the outcome from your tummy tuck and liposuction, for instance, could be permanent, breast implants will eventually need revision. However, many women are able to enjoy their new figure for up to 10 years before planning for an update.

While it's possible to have children after a mommy makeover, it's generally recommended to wait until you've completed your family before undergoing surgery. Pregnancy and childbirth can reverse the results of the procedures, potentially requiring additional surgery to restore your desired appearance.

The amount of time needed off work varies depending on the extent of the procedures performed and the nature of your job. Generally, patients should plan to take at least two to three weeks off work to allow for adequate rest and recovery. Jobs that involve physical labor or heavy lifting may require additional time off.
