When Should You Get a Mommy Makeover?

• When should you get a mommy makeover?
• When you are fully recovered from childbirth.
• When your body has returned to its original shape and size.
• When you're ready to make a change.
• You should be in good health and have no underlying medical conditions that could complicate the procedure.
• You should have realistic expectations about the results of surgery on your breasts, stomach, and other areas that may be treated during the procedure.

Why Should You Get a Mommy Makeover?

In the words of Dr. Arun Patel, "Our goal is to help you regain your pre-baby body and feel good about yourself again."

The mommy makeover is designed to help women restore their bodies after pregnancy, whether it's a single pregnancy or multiple pregnancies. This can include removing excess skin from the abdomen and/or thighs (love handles), tightening the abdominal muscles, removing stretch marks (striae distensae), and even liposuctioning areas like the back or hips that have become flabby due to aging or excessive weight gain during pregnancy.

What are the Before and After Pictures of a Mommy Makeover?

You can expect to feel a bit sore for about a week after your procedure, but you will be able to get up and take care of yourself with little to no help. You'll need someone there to drive you home from the hospital or surgical center, but it's important that you do not drive yourself anywhere until at least 24 hours after your surgery.

As far as recovery time goes, most patients heal completely within 2 weeks of their surgery. Your doctor may give you specific instructions regarding how long you should wait before resuming normal activities (such as exercise) based on their own personal recommendations or other factors such as the location where they performed your procedure. It's important that whoever helps take care of you during this time follows these guidelines closely so that there are no complications later on down the road!

How Long Does it Take to Recover from a Mommy Makeover?

Since a mommy makeover involves many surgical procedures, your recovery will be longer than other types of cosmetic surgery. Your surgeon will recommend you take at least a week off from work and activity (with some exceptions, like breastfeeding and light housework). You can usually return to exercise six weeks after the procedure. Sexual activity may resume six weeks after surgery as well, but talk about this with your doctor first!

You won’t be able to wear a bra for at least two months after the procedure. Your surgeon might recommend wearing an elastic bandage over your incisions until they heal fully. If you have any questions or concerns about recovery timeframes, don’t hesitate to ask them by calling us today!

What to Expect During a Breast Augmentation Procedure

When you come in for your breast augmentation procedure, your surgeon will likely give you an IV and put in monitoring electrodes to check how much pain medication is working during the surgery. You may also receive a “cocktail” of medications before going under general anesthesia.

Once your breasts have been enlarged, they will be wrapped in gauze bandages and placed in compression garments so that they don't shift out of place. The compression garment should be worn for about six weeks after surgery. You'll also need to wear a bra around the clock for at least three months after having implants placed into your chest wall or pocketed beneath your pectoral muscles (the muscle tissue behind each breast).

The recovery period can last anywhere from one month up until several months—this depends largely on how quickly you heal from any complications that arise during or immediately following surgery, such as infection or bleeding."

Breast Augmentation

A breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to increase the size of your breasts. It can be performed with implants, fat transfer or both. Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries, and for good reason: it can boost self confidence and improve your overall quality of life.

If you have had children or you are unhappy with the size of your breasts after pregnancy or weight loss, a breast augmentation may be right for you. There are several factors to consider when deciding whether or not to undergo this surgery, including cost, recovery time and risks involved in having this procedure performed by an experienced plastic surgeon.

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue and reshapes the remaining tissue to achieve a more proportionate, natural-looking breast. Breast reduction is done to improve the appearance of the breasts by reducing their size.

Breast reduction surgery is usually reserved for women who are bothered by their large breasts or suffer from back pain, shoulder grooving (a condition marked by deep indentations on the shoulders), rashes and skin irritation under their breasts, heavy upper arms due to excessive weight in this area or drooping of the breasts after pregnancy and breastfeeding.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient surgery. After it's over, you'll need someone else to drive you home since you will be sedated and drowsy from medications during recovery time at home. You should plan on staying overnight in a recovery center rather than going home immediately following surgery since most patients do not feel well enough until several hours after getting out of bed in order for them to get back safely without help

Breast Lift

A breast lift is a procedure to remove excess skin and tighten the surrounding breast tissue. This may be done with or without an implant.

• In women who want to improve the shape, position, or size of their breasts, a breast lift can be performed with or without implants (silicone gel or saline). The surgeon will remove excess skin and reposition the nipple-areola complex to a higher position on the chest wall. This improves both the shape and appearance of your breasts by restoring their youthful contour—even if you have lost significant volume due to pregnancy or weight fluctuations.
• A breast lift can also improve how you feel about yourself in clothes that fit well and look good on you!

Tummy Tuck

What is a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin from the lower abdomen, tighten the abdominal muscles, and repair loose or sagging belly fat. It can also be used to correct stretch marks, as well as for other cosmetic aims. Some women undergo this surgery after pregnancy; others choose it for body contouring purposes unrelated to child birth.

How does a tummy tuck work?

The operation takes about two hours under general anesthesia and involves making incisions around the navel and stretching apart of the abdominal muscles in order to remove excess skin above the pubic bone down toward pelvis area (pubic mound). The surgeon then tightens up those muscles before closing up incisions with sutures or staples. In some cases, mesh material may be used instead of stitches in order to minimize scarring or provide extra support for healing tissues over time."

Vaginal Rejuvenation

Vaginal rejuvenation is a procedure to correct problems that occur as the result of childbirth, aging, obesity, and genetics. It can also be used to help improve your self-esteem and body image.

The procedure involves tightening the muscles around the vagina so there is less stress on tissues during intercourse. In addition to this, some doctors will use this surgery as a way to help increase sensation for both partners during sex.

If you’re interested in exploring vaginal rejuvenation options with your doctor, make sure you ask them about what they offer in terms of post-op care or if they recommend any exercises that may help speed up recovery time. If they don't have an answer ready for you when asking these questions (or if they seem uncomfortable with discussing it), go somewhere else!

Breast Implant Placement Options

You have several options when it comes to breast implant placement. The most common is subglandular, which means that the implant lies under the chest muscle. It's also possible to have a submuscular placement, which involves placing the implant behind or over the pectoralis major muscle and below the fascia (the layer of tissue covering your muscles). This can help minimize scarring and increase healing time, but some women find this option less comfortable than others because it takes longer for muscles to relax around implants placed in this area.

A third option is called a dual plane procedure where both types of placement are used together: some fillers are placed under your skin while others lie directly against your rib cage; this results in more natural looking results with reduced risk for capsular contracture (where scar tissue forms around an implant). Finally there may be situations where you'd want an anchor lift along with breast augmentation surgery--this involves making incisions around your nipples so they can be repositioned closer together without losing their natural shape or size!

Breast implant surgery to have silicone gel filled implants or saline filled implants is fairly simple for a skilled surgeon. Silicone implants are generally preferred over saline implants for a variety of reasons. One of those reasons is that the breast implant procedure goes smoothly when these types of breast implants are used to alter breast size.

A mommy makeover can help you reclaim your body to look and feel like yourself again.

If you're pregnant, then your body will go through drastic changes. You'll gain weight and your breasts will become larger as they prepare for breastfeeding. After pregnancy, some women regain their shape and others don't. As a result, many women experience body image issues after having kids. A mommy makeover is a surgical procedure that can help you reclaim your body to look and feel like yourself again.

A mommy makeover includes breast augmentation (implants), breast lift (mastopexy), tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), labiaplasty or vaginal tightening (vaginoplasty) and liposuction of the abdomen and flanks if necessary. This is an all-in-one surgery that takes 3-5 hours depending on which procedures are needed most at the time of surgery."

Mentally Preparing for Your Mommy Makeover

Before your mommy makeover, it's important to mentally prepare for the procedure. Get your mind right by:

• Getting your body right. You want to be at the weight you feel most comfortable at, so if you need to lose a few pounds before surgery, start working out and eating healthier now.
• Getting your family right. If there are any problems with children or other family members that might affect them during this time, take care of those issues now. Make sure everyone is on board with what needs to happen in order for your mommy makeover to go smoothly!
• Getting financially prepared for the cost of having surgery done and recovering afterwards—the average cost is around $20K but can vary depending on where you live and who performs it (a skilled surgeon will charge more than an inexperienced one).
