What is a Mommy Makeover?

You may be wondering what a Mommy Makeover is, and you aren't alone. In fact, many women don't even know that they need one until they find themselves in the same position as you.

So let's start with some basic definitions: A mommy makeover can be described as a surgical procedure or set of procedures designed to correct the physical changes caused by pregnancy and childbirth.

There are multiple procedures that can be involved in a mommy makeover, but it all comes down to two major categories: breast augmentation or breast lift (or both), and tummy tuck surgery (this includes liposuction). The difference between these two procedures depends on whether your breasts have been affected by breastfeeding or not; if so then you would likely undergo breast augmentation rather than just a lift—but this is not always true and depends on your situation.

Another important component of mommy makeovers is abdominoplasty (an operation that removes excess fat from around the waistline) which can happen either before or after other surgeries depending on what needs fixing first.

You might wonder why these surgeries constitute “makeovers” when men don't even bother getting them done—and there's no right answer here because everyone has different reasons for wanting them done!

Some women want theirs done because their bodies changed dramatically while they were pregnant; others want theirs done simply because they've gotten older and now their stomachs look different than how they used to.

Are You Ready for a Mommy Makeover?

Before you consider a mommy makeover, it's important to be aware of the amount of time and effort it will take to recover. The recovery period is typically 3-5 days in the hospital, but can last up to 2 weeks if complications occur.

You'll need help during this time; there are many factors that come into play while recovering from surgery, so make sure you have someone who can assist with things like cooking meals and picking up groceries.

When it comes to preparing for your procedure, keep in mind that even after recovery has completed, there will still be some pain associated with muscle soreness for several months (up to 6).

This is normal and should not last indefinitely—you should feel mostly recovered within 3 months post-surgery. It's also critical that you don't rush back into exercise too soon after your procedure; any strenuous activity may cause unwanted bleeding or other complications over time which could result in needing additional surgeries down the road!

If possible try not doing any high-impact workouts until after six weeks have passed since surgery date--this way everything has had ample time heal properly before taking on new physical challenges which might set back recovery progress by several weeks again!

It's important now more than ever before: follow all instructions given by medical professionals during treatment process while recovering from surgery - they know best where best practices fall within this field."

What Does a Mommy Makeover Include?

A Mommy Makeover is a surgical procedure to address the changes in your body after having children. You may be looking for a mommy makeover because you have lost some of your self-confidence and want to feel more attractive again. A Mommy Makeover can help with that!

There are several different options for a postpartum body rejuvenation, such as: Tummy Tuck, Breast Augmentation, Breast Reduction and Lift or Breast Lift with Augmentation Combination (Breast Lift and Augmentation Combo).

These surgeries can be performed individually depending on what you would like changed most about how you look right now.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck, also referred to as an abdominoplasty and that's what we're talking about today, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and waistline. This procedure is often used to improve the appearance of loose, sagging skin after massive weight loss.

But it's not just for people who've lost large amounts of weight—some women have loose skin in their abdomen even if they haven't been overweight at all! This can happen when pregnancy stretches out your abdominal muscles or after significant weight gain followed by extreme dieting (yo-yo dieting). In these cases, it can be difficult to see much change in your body simply by losing 5 pounds or 10 pounds on an exercise program or healthy eating plan. If you're one of those women with excess abdominal skin that doesn't seem to want to go away regardless of what you do with exercise or dieting, then a tummy tuck may be right for you.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation surgery is a safe and effective procedure. It can be used to improve your self-image, correct breast asymmetry or nipple position, or help you regain volume loss after pregnancy or weight loss.

Breast Reduction

If you're considering breast reduction surgery, there are several things to consider. Breast reduction is a surgical procedure that can remove excess skin and fat from the breasts, reducing their size and making them firmer. It's done for many reasons: for example, it may be done after pregnancy or as a result of genetic factors (causing the breasts to enlarge).

Breast reduction surgery can be performed on women of any age who have reached puberty and are at least 5'4" tall. If you've had children, this procedure might not be for you unless your doctor feels it's necessary; if so, keep in mind that breastfeeding may still be possible after breast reduction surgery but only with special bras designed specifically for post-pregnancy patients with large chests.

Breast Lift

Breast lift surgery may be performed in order to correct the appearance of sagging breasts. The procedure can help improve the appearance of droopy breasts and eliminate excess skin. Breast lift surgery requires that both breasts be lifted in order to achieve a balanced and proportionate result.

Vaginal Rejuvenation

Vaginal rejuvenation is a surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the vagina. The procedure involves removing excess tissue and tightening the vaginal canal. This can be done with lasers as well, which has been proven to have more positive results than surgery alone. Vaginal rejuvenation is not for everyone, but if you are interested in improving your body image or making sexual intercourse easier, it may be right for you!

Breast Lift and Augmentation Combo

If you are a woman who has lost a lot of weight after having children, a breast lift and augmentation combo may be the right choice for you. Although they are both separate procedures, they can be done at the same time by an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon. This is because they are fairly simple, non-invasive procedures that require very little recovery time.

In this procedure, your surgeon will use liposuction to remove excess skin and fat from around your breasts and place it in the lower body or abdomen area (abdominoplasty). In addition, sutures will be used to raise your nipple-areola complex and tighten tissue around it so that it looks higher on your chest wall. The breast implants will then be placed behind each breast mound to give them shape and volume; finally, incisions are closed with absorbable sutures or dissolvable stitches so there is no need for them to be removed later on down the road.

What to Expect During a Breast Augmentation Procedure

Prior to your procedure, you will meet with our staff to discuss your goals and expectations. You will then be scheduled for an initial consultation where we will take measurements of your breasts and discuss the type of breast implant that would be best suited for you. At this point, you are welcome to ask any questions or concerns that may arise. It’s important that you feel comfortable before proceeding with surgery.

The procedure itself is performed under general anesthesia so that it can be completed in a timely manner without causing any discomfort or pain during recovery. It typically takes about one hour per breast but can vary depending on size and desired outcome; larger breast implants require more time as well as more tissue removal (if necessary).

During most of the procedure, you should remain awake so we can monitor vital signs such as heart rate while performing initial incisions through which we insert saline implants into pockets within each breast. This portion lasts only 15-20 minutes depending on how many incisions are necessary and whether additional work needs done such as liposuction along with fat transfer procedures if desired. Although this part isn't particularly painful due its short duration beforehand doctors do recommend taking prescription medication beforehand such as Xanax or Valium just prior so make sure ask about dosages at time pre-op consults at least 48 hours prior.

Beware the breast implant illness. Always get checked for breast cancer before undergoing breast implant surgeries. Silicone breast implants or silicone gel filled implants are usually safer than saline breast implants.

Can You Have Breast Surgery and Liposuction at the Same Time?

The short answer is yes. It is possible to have a breast lift and liposuction at the same time, but it’s not recommended.

The reason? The recovery period for liposuction is typically shorter than that for breast augmentation surgery, so if you have both procedures done at once, it will take longer to recover overall.

Additionally, having both surgeries performed simultaneously may increase your risk of complications such as infection and blood clots (DVT). This is because your body will already be in an inflamed state due to the liposuction procedure—and that inflammation could increase your likelihood of experiencing these problems after undergoing another surgery.

Of course, there are some situations where having both procedures done at once can make sense: If you live far away from a surgeon or clinic with whom you want to work; if money is tight; or if travel would make recovery more difficult than waiting until after recovering from one procedure before undergoing another one.

How Long Should I Wait to Have a Mommy Makeover?

The time you should wait to have a mommy makeover depends on the procedure you choose, as well as your age, health, weight and lifestyle.

• Breast augmentation is best performed when the patient has completed her family or does not plan to conceive any more children. If this is not the case, then she must wait until at least 12 months after childbirth before undergoing breast augmentation surgery. In some cases where there is severe depression of the nipple-areola complex (NAC), it may be necessary for patients to wait even longer before undergoing breast augmentation surgery because of their risk for re-adverse psychological effects from having scars around their NAC resulting in poor surgical outcomes.
• Liposuction can be performed safely anytime after pregnancy if done with caution without compromising vascularity or causing excessive bleeding during surgery which could lead to an increase in scar tissue formation and permanent changes in body contour resulting in unsatisfactory aesthetic outcome."

The cost of your mommy makeover will be based largely on the procedures that you choose to have done.

The cost of your mommy makeover will be based largely on the procedures that you choose to have done. These costs will vary depending on where you live and the experience and reputation of your surgeon. The cost also depends on what materials are used, such as whether you opt for silicone or saline implants, but also on factors like how much time goes into performing each procedure.

In general, most women will pay between $5,000 and $10,000 for the total package—which includes liposuction surgery and breast augmentation or breast lift surgery—though these figures can vary greatly from person to person depending on their individual needs and preferences.

Will Insurance Cover a Mommy Makeover?

Insurance will cover a mommy makeover if you have had a baby. It's the only way to get insurance to pay for it. You won't be able to get your insurance to pay for it if you haven't had a baby and are not planning on having one in the future, even if your body has changed due to pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Insurance will also cover breast augmentation surgery after childbirth, as long as there is no other medical reason why it shouldn't be done (such as cancer). However, this does not apply in all cases; check with your provider before scheduling any procedures!
