When should I time my mommy makeover?

Ideally, you should time your mommy makeover after you are done having children. You should allow your body time to stabilize and recover from pregnancy and childbirth before seeking surgery. This helps Dr. Chacon accurately assess your body and plan out the most precise treatment.

Are mommy makeover procedures performed individually or combined into one operation?

Some women opt to combine their breast and abdominal procedures into one operation; others prefer to stage out the procedures into separate operations. The decision is up to you and Dr. Chacon.

What is the mommy makeover recovery like?

Recovery varies from patient to patient and depends on the individual treatment plan. Generally, recovery time ranges from two to six weeks. Most patients can resume work at the two-week mark. Strenuous activities including exercise can be resumed approximately four to six weeks after surgery.

How long will my mommy makeover results last?

You can enjoy your mommy makeover results as long as you maintain your weight and commit to a healthy lifestyle. Gaining a significant amount of weight or having children after mommy makeover can reverse some of the positive benefits of surgery.
