Mommy Makeover

The recovery from your mommy makeover will vary depending on the procedures that you choose to undergo. Recovery can take anywhere from two to four weeks. Most patients are able to return to work a week after their procedure. Dr. Partington will go over the recovery process with you in detail to make sure that you are fully prepared.

The mommy makeover is not a weight loss procedure. Instead, it is a series of body contouring procedures to help you reach your aesthetic goals after you are at a healthy weight. Losing some weight is a side effect of the procedure but is not a main goal.

In order to get the mommy makeover procedure, it is important that patients are at a healthy and stable weight. It is recommended to be no more than 25 pounds over your goal weight before surgery.

Dr. Partington will tell you how to be prepared for your mommy makeover during your consultation. Patients who smoke will need to quit smoking before they can get this procedure. Also, patients may need to adjust their medications and avoid taking aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs prior to the surgery.

On average, patients can remove up to 11 pounds, or five liters, of fat through liposuction.

The average mommy makeover costs between $9,000 and $20,000.

A mommy makeover is a customizable procedure that typically includes a tummy tuck and breast augmentation, lift, or reduction. You can choose which procedures you include based on your needs and goals.

Mommy makeovers are safe overall, but like all surgeries, there are some risks.

A tummy tuck may be considered a medical necessity if the abdominal muscles are so damaged that you experience back pain or other issues.
