Frequently Asked Questions About Mommy Makeover Surgery
If I am breastfeeding, when is the earliest I can have the Mommy Makeover surgery?
Patients are advised to wait up to six months after finishing breastfeeding to allow the breasts to stabilize in shape and size. This also allows your body to recover from the rigors of pregnancy and childbirth fully. Waiting also allows your surgeon to conduct a more accurate surgical assessment for the best results.
In addition, we prefer that our patients have already returned to their pre-pregnancy weight if possible.
Should I wait until I am done having children before proceeding with a Mommy Makeover?
It is recommended to wait until your family is complete before considering any Mommy Makeover techniques. The reason for this is that an additional pregnancy may diminish your final results, as the abdominal and breast tissues are once again stretched, resulting in the need for revisionary procedures.

What are the risks of a Mommy Makeover surgery?
As with any surgery, a Mommy Makeover has accompanying risks. The main risks and potential complications for the procedure include — but are not limited to — bleeding, infection, poor healing of incisions, scarring, blood clots, skin numbness, and asymmetry.
Working with a trained and experienced surgeon can help minimize potential risks and increase the likelihood of optimal results.
How can I maintain results after a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is a significant investment in yourself. You want to enjoy the results for as long as possible. To do that, you will need to maintain a healthy lifestyle and an ideal body weight. The lack of attention to your physical health can negate your results.
