Performed by

Dr. Butler, Dr. Leveque, Dr. Patterson

Procedure

The breasts are usually addressed first with breast augmentation, a mastopexy (also called a breast lift) or augmentation-mastopexy. The abdominoplasty is then performed. So patients may also choose to add liposuction to their mommy makeover to help define their waistline, contour their hips or thighs, or eliminate “bra-line” bulge. After the desired changes have been achieved, incisions will be closed using sutures.

Ideal Candidates

Patients should be at a stable weight and cannot be using any nicotine-containing substances. Patients should be done breastfeeding and have no future plans for pregnancy. Both are possible after a mommy makeover but will likely compromise your final result and therefore it is recommended to wait until childbearing is complete before proceeding with a mommy makeover.

Candidates must have realistic expectations from mommy makeovers. Ideal candidates must be healthy without any pre-existing conditions. Patients who are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle are excellent candidates.

The mommy makeover procedure is appropriate for patients who want to regain their body shape after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding.

Mommy makeover patients must arrange for help with childcare and household tasks in advance. Patients must give themselves enough time to heal and recover after their mommy makeover procedure.

Your Consultation

During your consultation, you and your surgeon will discuss your goals and expectations for your mommy makeover. Your surgeon will look over your medical records and perform a physical examination. Inform them about the medications and supplements you are currently taking.

Your surgeon will go over the details of the surgery, including procedures that can be included and the recovery process. You can ask questions anytime.

Your surgeon will recommend the ideal combination of procedures for your mommy makeover. Your surgical plan will then be created. You will be provided with preparation instructions for your mommy makeover procedure.

Positioning

After an abdominoplasty, you will need to keep your hips flexed at all times for 1-2 weeks to help minimize the tension on your skin incision. This means walking around a little hunched over and sleeping in a recliner or in bed with pillows under your back and your knees.

Sex

Wait 2 weeks because you don’t want to stress your incisions or increase your blood pressure during the early healing period. After 2 weeks you may have sex if your partner can resist touching your new breasts. You are the only person allowed to touch your breasts for the first 6 weeks after surgery.
