What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a collection of procedures that address several cosmetic issues simultaneously to restore a post-pregnancy body. Mommy makeovers are highly-customizable to address each patients’ unique condition and aesthetic goals.

Mommy makeover benefits can include:

Mommy makeover surgery is not intended as a weight loss procedure but rather is intended to improve body contours and add definition to the post-pregnancy body. Dr. Chapin recommends candidates are close to their ideal, stable weight with a BMI of 30 or less.

Mommy Makeover Procedures

A mommy makeover is a combination of surgical procedures designed to address multiple body contouring concerns associated with the post-pregnancy body. During your mommy makeover consultation, Dr. Chapin will develop a customized plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Mommy makeover procedures may include:

Breast procedures, such as breast lift, breast lift with augmentation, fat transfer to breasts, or breast reduction, can help restore many of the breast concerns women experience following pregnancy and breastfeeding. In breast rejuvenation procedures, the breast tissue may be lifted and tightened, or implants or fat  may be placed to restore volume. During your mommy makeover consultation, Dr. Chapin will help you determine the best breast rejuvenation procedure to restore the appearance of your breasts.

Pregnancy can cause redistribution or accumulation of weight. Liposuction is the surgical removal of fat, suctioned through a thin cannula. As a versatile treatment, liposuction can address unwanted fat on the abdomen, back, arms, thighs, buttocks, and more.

 

As pregnancy can result in stubborn fat or loose, excess skin that affects the appearance of the abdomen, a tummy tuck helps rejuvenate the abdominal region and tighten the abdominal muscles. Abdominoplasty can help you achieve a flatter, firmer midsection to restore balance to your figure.

Pregnancy can result in loose, sagging skin in the buttocks. With a buttock augmentation, Dr. Chapin can lift and restore volume to the buttocks to improve the overall contours of your balanced figure.

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure to enhance the appearance and size of the labia minora, which can become enlarged following childbirth. This procedure can reduce sagging skin, and darkened folds and alleviate physical discomfort.

Am I an Ideal Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

Preparing for a Mommy Makeover

Dr. Chapin customizes each mommy makeover procedure to achieve optimal results for each patient, so each surgery will be unique. However, here are some common steps to expect.

Select only an experienced, board-certified, and well-regarded plastic surgeon. You may want to schedule consultations with a few surgeons to ensure you find the best match for you. During your consultations, request to see before-and-after photos to get an idea of the results your surgeon achieves.

During your consultation, you may be advised to get a baseline mammogram before and after your mommy makeover, medical evaluations, blood work, or other lab tests to assess your overall health.

If you currently smoke, vape, or use any nicotine products, you should quit. It is strongly recommended that patients stop smoking four weeks before their procedure and until recovery is complete.

For two weeks prior to your surgery, refrain from taking blood-thinning medications, anti-inflammatory drugs, or herbal supplements.

Eat healthy and balanced meals prior to your mommy makeover, as proper nutrition supports healing.

Prepare for your recovery by purchasing the supplies you’ll need and filling pain medication prescriptions. Consider cooking and freezing meals for easy preparation. Arrange a clean and comfortable space to rest as you heal. Also, plan for a friend or family member to help assist you with household management and childcare for a few weeks.

Mommy Makeover Procedure Overview

Dr. Chapin performs all mommy makeover procedures in a Bucks County or Montgomery County AAAASF-certified cosmetic surgery facility. On the day of your mommy makeover, you’ll arrive approximately an hour before your scheduled surgery to meet with Dr. Chapin and your anesthesia provider. Dr. Chapin and his team will review the surgery details and answer any final questions you have. During your consultation, Dr. Chapin will inform you how he will proceed with your procedures, which will depend on your anatomy and your individual needs. Mommy makeover surgeries can last for two to six hours, depending on the procedures.

Mommy Makeover Recovery and Healing

As a mommy makeover is an outpatient procedure, you will need someone to drive you to and from the surgical facility and stay with you for at least the first 24 hours. Immediately following your mommy makeover, your incision sites will be dressed, and you may be fitted with a compression garment to minimize swelling and provide support to your new contours. You may need to wear your compression garment for four to six weeks. For several days following your procedure, you may feel tender, uncomfortable, or numb in the treated areas. You should also expect swelling or bruising. 

Mommy makeover recovery time depends upon the extent of your procedures. Typically, for your initial recovery, you’ll need approximately one to two weeks off work. During recovery, it’s important to get plenty of rest and ask for assistance completing many normal tasks, especially if you have young children, pets, or others you care for. Typically, patients can return to work in 7-14 days, depending on the type of work. For at least four weeks, you should avoid strenuous exercises, but Dr. Chapin recommends short, light walks to promote blood circulation and healing.

How Soon Will I See My Doylestown, PA Mommy Makeover Results?

Mommy makeover patients may notice dramatic results immediately following surgery. However, you may also experience swelling and bruising that temporarily obscures your results. It may take three to six months for residual swelling to subside, revealing your full aesthetic results.

You will experience long-lasting results from your Philadelphia mommy makeover by maintaining your healthy diet and exercise routine.

How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost?
