What Is A Mommy Makeover?

How Do You Perform A Mommy Makeover?
Every mommy makeover at Chirag Mehta MD Plastic Surgery is unique with Dr. Mehta tailoring the treatment based on each patient’s body and goals. A variety of procedures can be included in your plan — the most popular treatments are liposuction of the flanks and lower back, as well as breast lift surgery, breast augmentation, and tummy tuck surgery. Mommy makeover surgeries are performed while the patient is under general anesthesia, taking 3 – 7 hours depending on the complexity. In addition, an overnight stay at the hospital may be required. It is common to also incorporate nonsurgical skin procedures, such as laser skin resurfacing, to diminish wrinkles and other complexion issues.

Frequently Asked Questions about Mommy Makeovers
Mommy makeovers are generally safe when performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon like Dr. Mehta. Although no surgery is without risk, our skilled surgical team plays a significant role in minimizing potential complications. During your consultation, we will thoroughly evaluate your medical history, address any concerns you may have, and explain the procedure in detail to ensure you are well-informed and comfortable with your decision.
Scarring is a natural part of any surgical procedure, including mommy makeovers. The extent and visibility of scars depend on the specific procedures performed and your body’s healing process. Our practice provides comprehensive post-operative care instructions, including how to care for your incisions and recommended products to help reduce scarring. With proper care, scars can fade significantly over time.
If you become pregnant or experience significant weight gain after your mommy makeover, your results may be affected. Pregnancy and weight fluctuations can alter the contours of your body, potentially impacting the improvements achieved through surgery. We advise patients to be at a stable weight and consider their family planning goals before undergoing a mommy makeover to maintain the best possible long-term results.
