What is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover in the United States (also known as a Mummy Makeover in Australia and the UK) is the term coined for a combination of procedures designed to restore various parts of the body post-pregnancy, through plastic surgery. It commonly includes an abdominoplasty (a tummy tuck), a breast augmentation or a breast lift, and liposuction. A Mommy Makeover is designed to help you return to a more youthful-looking body appearance.

How do I find the right surgeon?

The best way is to speak to a few surgeons, compare their past work and find out which surgeon you are most comfortable with. At Holiday Health, we can connect you to reputable and reliable plastic surgeons who specialize in Mommy Makeovers. We strongly suggest you take into consideration that the surgeon you choose:

• is reputable and trustworthy;
• has a proven track record;
• is registered with or accredited by their local government or the governing medical body or association;
• has never been disqualified from practising anywhere in the world;
• has never been found guilty of endangering a patient’s life; and
• has never been found guilty of malpractice.

You should also include any preferences you might have. For example, you might be more comfortable with a female doctor, or someone who has successfully completed thousands of Mommy Makeover surgeries.

What happens during the surgery?

You will have an initial consultation with your specialist to discuss the suitability of the procedure, and discuss the details of the surgery. Once all of the details are agreed upon and confirmed, a date for the procedure is set.
Depending on the cosmetic surgery options you choose to undergo as part of your Mommy Makeover, the time you are in surgery and the recovery period will vary. Please consult with your plastic surgeon on how long the procedure will take; what happens during, pre- and post-surgery; as well as what risks are apparent.

What is the recovery time like post-surgery?

Typically, you may have to stay overnight in the hospital before being given the green light to check out. IT usually takes 10-14 days before you will be able to resume your daily activities and you may only be able to resume heavy duties after 4-6 weeks post-procedure.

Your plastic surgeon may also recommend waiting around 2-weeks post-procedure before flying, and taking precautionary measures against the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Important information about mommy makeovers  

Before your procedure, you will have the opportunity to discuss your goals and the results you would like to achieve with your plastic surgeon. Communication is vital in reaching your goals. Ensure you communicate your vision clearly to your plastic surgeon and re-confirm the intended procedure to ensure there is no miscommunication. Your plastic surgeon will work with you to reach an understanding about what you can expect from this procedure, and what long-term benefits and side-effects you may experience. Every patient is different, and your specialist will choose the surgical technique and treatment plan that is right for you.

Your plastic surgeon will give you specific instructions on how to prepare for surgery, including guidelines on eating and drinking, smoking, and which vitamins and medications should be taken or avoided.
