Mommy Makeovers Houston

What is a Mommy Makeover?

Mommy makeover surgery isn’t a specific set of treatments – rather, it’s the best combination of cosmetic procedures for you. It’s hard to give an exact definition of a treatment package, because each person has a completely different experience from giving birth.

At one time, women were stuck with their new, post-childbirth bodies. Now, though, more and more women are seeking out plastic surgeons who can help restore the youthfulness of their pre-baby body. Mommy makeover procedures include a variety of post-maternity breast and body reshaping procedures that can rejuvenate breasts and tummies, giving new moms the double blessing of a beautiful child and a beautiful body!

Who’s a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

Welcoming a new child into the world is a blessed event, and many women find pregnancy and childbirth to be incredibly rewarding and fulfilling.

Yet this blessed event brings about significant changes to a woman’s body. Many of these changes are undesirable, and difficult to reverse, even after the body has bounced back following childbirth. Some common after-effects of pregnancy and breastfeeding are:

  • DROOPING BREASTS
  • ENLARGED AREOLAS
  • FULLER WAISTLINE
  • FAT POCKETS IN ABDOMEN
  • STRETCH MARKS
  • SAGGING TUMMY

While loose muscles and stretched skin improve somewhat over time, a woman’s body rarely ever returns to pre-pregnancy condition, even with diet and exercise.

The Mommy Makeover Procedure

A surgical mommy makeover is different for each patient. Dr. Chaudhari will review your detailed surgical plan during your consultation. A mommy makeover typically includes a tummy tuck, breast surgery (breast augmentation, breast lift, or breast reduction), and liposuction. These procedures help tighten abdominal muscles, remove excess skin, reduce unwanted fat, and rejuvenate the effects of breast feeding. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Mommy Makeovers dangerous?

A mommy makeover is a large complex combination of procedures that can be executed safely when performed by a board certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Chaudhari. However, like any surgical procedure, there are small risks of bleeding, infection, scarring, dissatisfaction, and need for revisions.

How do you prepare for a mommy makeover?

Before a mommy makeover, patients should be in overall good health and nonsmokers or committed to not smoking for at least six weeks. Patients should also avoid blood-thinning medications like anti-inflammatories and certain herbal supplements for a few days before surgery. Alcohol should also be limited during the week leading up to your procedure. Daily protein intake should be increased before surgery to maximize your healing potential. Dr. Chaudhari will go over all of these and more at the time of your consultation.

How long does it take to recover from a mommy makeover?

Most patients can return to work two weeks after their mommy makeover procedure but more strenuous exercise and activities like heavy lifting should be avoided for at least four weeks. After two weeks, most of the swelling will have gone down and discomfort will be minimal, but it can take several weeks for swelling to completely reduce.

How many plastic surgeries can be done at once?

We often combine 3-5 plastic surgery procedures into one mommy makeover procedure. At your consultation, we will discuss your medical history and treatment goals to determine how many procedures are needed and safe to receive at one time. Dr. Chaudhari routinely performs surgeries for 8 to 10 hours, if needed, without any increase in surgical complications.

How much did you pay for your mommy makeover?

The cost of a mommy makeover varies depending on how many procedures are received. At your consultation, we will give you a price estimate and discuss financing options. Depending on the combination of procedures, the price range can be between $12,000 and $25,000.

How much fat can be removed during liposuction?

Liposuction can remove an average of 3-5 pounds of fat, and this amount may vary, depending on how many areas you receive liposuction and how much excess fat needs to be removed to create a smooth, beautiful contour.

What is a mommy makeover?

The phrase “mommy makeover” is a broad phrase that includes any combination of breast and body enhancement procedures that reverses the effects of having children. For many women, this includes a breast lift and tummy tuck, but some women want implants and some women want liposuction, so it’s very customized for each woman. When you meet with Dr. Chaudhari, he will spend a lot of time understanding your needs and helping you develop a treatment plan for you. We are more than capable of handling anything you need to have done.

How is post-op pain managed?

In addition to oral pain medications, including narcotics and anti-inflammatory medications, Dr. Chaudhari also provides the option of having an implantable pain pump that continuously and automatically infuses a local anesthetic medication to numb the surgical site. This On-Q pain pump delivers the local anesthetic medication for 6 days post-op to really give you good relief from postop pain. Our patients really love this option and most of them state that their pain is surprisingly minimal after major body contouring procedures.
