The Consultation Process

Surgical Plan
An individualized surgical plan will be developed by the surgeon which will enable you to get the body you want in a precise and least invasive way. Your skin laxity, body proportion and fatty tissue pockets will be assessed by the surgeon for creating a suitable surgical plan.
Anesthesia
Mommy makeover cosmetic surgery is performed under general anesthesia. You won’t feel any discomfort during the procedure. A qualified anesthesiologist will deliver the anesthetics. They will also monitor your response closely throughout the surgery. You will be moved to a recovery room once the procedure is complete.
Placing the Incisions
Your surgeon would make a hip to hip incision above the pubic area if the mommy makeover involves abdominoplasty. You may require liposuction for enhancing the contours. Tiny incisions would be placed in inconspicuous locations for this. Breast lift and breast augmentation are performed through incisions made in the natural creases and folds of the breasts.
Surgery
Your surgeon will insert saline or silicone implants if you have experienced significant breast volume loss after the pregnancy. This will be done through the incisions made as part of the breast augmentation. The surgeon will remove loose skin and excess fat if the breasts are sagging heavily. The result would be firmer looking breasts.
In addition, you may also need liposuction in upper arms, hips, flanks, abdomen, and thighs. Abdominoplasty can be performed in combination with liposuction for creating smoother and flatter abdomen. This will help in eliminating the stretch marks. The incisions would be sutured carefully once the procedure is complete.
