Mommy Makeover Common Procedures

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

This procedure removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall, which may be stretched or separated after pregnancy.

Breast Surgery

This can include a breast lift (mastopexy), breast augmentation, or breast reduction, tailored to address changes from breastfeeding and the natural aging process.

Liposuction

Targets and removes stubborn fat deposits in various body areas such as the hips, thighs, and buttocks, refining the overall body contour.

Other Procedures

Depending on the individual, additional procedures, such as a thigh lift or butt lift, might be performed to enhance the lower body’s appearance.

Personalized Treatment Planning

Consultation: During an initial consultation, Dr. Antony discusses your concerns, examines the areas to be treated, and outlines a personalized plan based on your unique physical condition.
Preparation: Patients receive detailed instructions on preparing for surgery, including guidelines on diet, rest, and medications.
Procedure: The procedures are performed under general anesthesia. The order and combination of procedures are strategically planned to minimize recovery time and enhance overall results.

What Is the Recovery Time After a Mommy Makeover?

A full recovery after a Mommy Makeover varies significantly based on the extent and combination of procedures performed. Typically, patients should plan for a recovery timeline that accommodates the healing processes of multiple areas if procedures like tummy tuck, breast surgery, and liposuction are performed simultaneously.

Initial Recovery

The first two weeks are the most critical recovery phase. Patients will experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, managed with pain medications prescribed by Dr. Antony. It’s crucial during this period to rest and avoid engaging in strenuous activities or lifting, including lifting or caring for young children, so plan on arranging some additional support at home.

Moderate Recovery Phase

By the end of the third week, many patients feel more comfortable and may return to work, provided their job does not involve heavy physical activity. However, exercise should still be limited to gentle physical activities like walking.

Continued Healing

Patients can gradually resume vigorous activities over the next four to six weeks. Full recovery, including the ability to participate in high-impact exercises and lift heavy objects, typically occurs around the 6 to 8-week mark, but this can vary.

Follow-up Care

Dr. Antony schedules regular follow-up appointments to monitor the healing process and ensure that recovery is progressing. These check-ups are critical for addressing concerns and guiding patients on the proper steps at each recovery stage.

Following Dr. Antony’s postoperative instructions and attending all scheduled follow-up visits is vital to ensure the best possible recovery and results from a Mommy Makeover.

What Are the Benefits of a Mommy Makeover?

Slim, Lifted, Youthful Figure

This technique restores a taut, lifted figure that may be impossible to regain solely through exercise and diet.

Enhanced Comfort and Confidence

Helps alleviate discomfort associated with loose or hanging skin and fat on the abdomen or breasts, improving self-esteem and a positive body image.

Each Mommy Makeover is tailored to fit the individual’s specific needs and aesthetic desires, ensuring results that fulfill their vision of beauty.
