A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of cosmetic procedures designed to restore a woman’s body after pregnancy and childbirth. It typically includes procedures such as a tummy tuck, breast augmentation or lift, and liposuction, but can be tailored to individual goals.
You may be a good candidate if you are in good health, have finished having children, and have concerns about sagging breasts, excess abdominal skin, or stubborn fat that cannot be addressed with diet and exercise. Dr. Rough will evaluate your medical history and goals during your consultation.
The duration of the surgery depends on the combination of procedures performed but typically takes between 3 to 7 hours. Dr. Rough will provide you with a more specific time estimate based on your personalized treatment plan.
Recovery time varies based on the procedures involved, but most patients can return to light activities after 2 weeks and resume more strenuous activities after 6 weeks. Dr. Rough will provide you with a detailed recovery plan to ensure optimal results.
The results of a Mommy Makeover can be long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and follow a healthy lifestyle. While aging and gravity are inevitable, your improved body contour can be maintained for many years.
Yes! A Mommy Makeover is already a combination of procedures, but additional treatments, such as non-surgical injectables or skin treatments, can also be included in your customized plan. Dr. Rough will discuss all options during your consultation.
Scarring is a natural part of surgery, but Dr. Rough uses advanced techniques to place incisions in discreet locations. Over time, with proper care, scars will fade and become less noticeable.
It’s recommended to wait at least 6 months after childbirth or after completing breastfeeding before undergoing a Mommy Makeover. This allows your body time to heal and return to its pre-pregnancy state.
As with any surgery, there are potential risks such as infection, poor wound healing, or complications related to anesthesia. Dr. Rough will thoroughly discuss all risks during your consultation and take every precaution to ensure your safety.
