Maternity Aesthetics

Step 1 – Anesthesia
Medications are administered for your comfort during the surgical procedure. The choices include intravenous sedation and general anesthesia. Your doctor will recommend the best choice for you.

Step 2 – Surgical procedures
The steps for the various procedures that could be a part of your individualized mommy makeover surgery can be found below:

• Breast augmentation
• Breast lift
• Buttock augmentation
• Liposuction
• Tummy tuck
• Vaginoplasty

Following your mommy makeover surgery, gauze or bandages will be applied to your incisions. An elastic bandage or support bra will minimize swelling and support the breasts. A compression garment may also be used to control swelling in the abdomen, waist and buttocks.

You will be given specific instructions that may include:

• How to care for your surgical site(s) following surgery
• Medications to apply or take orally to aid healing and reduce the risk of infection
• Specific concerns to look for at the surgical site or in your general health

Healing will continue for several weeks as swelling decreases and the shape of the breasts, abdomen, waist, genitalia and buttocks improves.

The final results of mommy makeover surgery may not be apparent for several months after surgery.

Over time, the implants will settle and the scar lines will improve. There are trade-offs, but most women feel these are small compared to the large improvement in their self-confidence after surgery.
