Mommy Makeover

Because a mommy makeover is a surgical procedure, there is some risk involved. During your consultation with Dr. Kayastha, youll discuss the risks.

Traditionally, a mommy makeover includes a tummy tuck and breast augmentation. However, options like breast lift, breast reduction, and liposuction are also common.

The cost of mommy makeovers varies substantially by the type of procedures performed, such as abdominoplasty and liposuction.

A mommy makeover should not be considered a weight loss procedure - rather, it can improve the bodys contour and figure instead of reducing your weight.

Prior to your mommy makeover procedure, you should have everything you need for a successful recovery at home. This includes picking up any prescriptions and supplies you need for a comfortable recovery process. If you have pets or small children, you will want to arrange for a friend or family member to help with their care. You should also arrange for someone to drive you home from your procedure and stay with you for a minimum of 24 hours.

A mommy makeover can be much more costly than other plastic surgery options because it includes multiple procedures. On average, mommy makeover procedures cost anywhere between $10,000 and $20,000, but this can depend on your unique goals and surgical plan.

If you plan on having more children, it is best to delay your mommy makeover. If you have surgery and have kids afterward, the normal changes associated with pregnancy may cause dropping of your breasts or loosening of your midsection. This may mean additional surgery to regain the best results.

Your body should be completely recovered from pregnancy and childbirth before considering a mommy makeover surgery. This usually means at least six months since your delivery or since you finished breastfeeding. This ensures that your body is strong enough to recover successfully from your procedures. If you plan to have more children in the near future, you should hold off on having your procedure.

Depending on the procedures you chose to undergo, recovery from a mommy makeover can take up to a month.

A tummy tuck is most often considered an elective cosmetic procedure, even when it has medical benefits. A panniculectomy is more often considered medically necessary after massive weight loss.

Mommy makeover most commonly refers to body contouring procedures used to improve the appearance of one’s abdomen and breasts. This usually means some form of a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and a breast lift. If additional breast volume is required, an augmentation can be added to your breast lift. Other areas can also be addressed with a thigh lift, upper arm lift, liposuction, or scar revision.

Dr. Kayastha will tell you how many procedures you can undergo based on your health and the procedures desired. Mommy makeovers frequently consist of two or three procedures.
