The Mommy Makeover Procedure
The specifics of a Mommy Makeover surgery will vary depending on the combination of procedures chosen for the treatment plan. It’s usually an outpatient cosmetic procedure, and during the initial consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to review every step of what to expect with Dr. Sohn so that you can prepare in advance. A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is performed under general anesthesia to tighten abdominal muscles and remove excess skin. Liposuction may also be used to address pockets of fat. The incision is placed low on the hip line for minimal scarring. For breast surgery, multiple incision options are available, and we can use breast implants or fat grafting to add fullness and reshape the breasts. A patient’s individual procedure time will depend on the number and type of techniques used. Our top priority is your care, comfort, and results, and we will provide the information you need to feel confident about your plastic surgery procedure.
Mommy Makeover Recovery
The recovery period for a Mommy Makeover will depend on the specific treatment plan and the individual’s healing rate. If a breast lift and tummy tuck are performed, it is usually recommended to take around two weeks off from work. Additional procedures may lengthen or shorten the recovery time. During your initial consultation, Dr. Sohn will provide more information based on your specific treatment plan. After the surgery, it is important to rest and limit physical activity. You should avoid
