FAQs

How long does a mommy makeover procedure take?

The duration of a mommy makeover surgery varies based on the required procedures to restore your body after childbirth. Typically, these procedures are completed in one session, lasting four to six hours, which saves on the costs of multiple surgeries.

Will there be scars after a mommy makeover?

A mommy makeover can restore your body after childbirth, involving careful incisions. A skilled surgeon can manage scarring and guide you on minimizing it for a more discreet appearance, allowing you to feel confident in revealing clothing.

Do I need all the procedures?

A mommy makeover is a personalized procedure designed to help you restore your pre-baby body. Everyone's experience is different, but common issues include breast sagging, stretch marks, and loose skin in the tummy area. We will work closely with you to identify the procedures needed to achieve your goals.

How long should I wait after giving birth for a mommy makeover?

Consider a mommy makeover six months to a year after giving birth or six months after stopping breastfeeding. First, focus on exercising and dieting to lose post-baby weight. You might notice stretch marks and less skin firmness, and breastfeeding can affect breast and skin elasticity, leading to sagging.

Can I get a mommy makeover and still breastfeed?

Yes, it is possible to breastfeed even after a breast augmentation. However, be aware that the added weight may lead to some stretching and sagging, requiring a breast lift in the future, depending on your skin firmness and flexibility. Ideally, mothers should wait six months after breastfeeding their last child before moving forward with a breast augmentation.

Do I have to be a mother to get a mommy makeover?

No, you do not have to be a mother to undergo a mommy makeover. While the term suggests a post-pregnancy procedure, it can be tailored to anyone seeking a combination of cosmetic surgeries to address various concerns, not limited to mothers.
