How Long Does It Take to Recover from a Mommy Makeover?

Welcoming a child into the world is a joyous experience, but it can also take a toll on a woman’s body. Pregnancy and childbirth can lead to changes such as stretched skin, sagging breasts, and stubborn fat deposits. For many women, these changes can impact their self-esteem and body image. A mommy makeover is a customized combination of surgical procedures designed to address these common concerns and help women regain their pre-baby bodies.

What is Mommy Makeover Surgery?

A mommy makeover is not a one-size-fits-all procedure. Instead, it is tailored to each woman’s unique needs and goals. It typically involves a combination of breast and body procedures designed to address the effects of pregnancy in these areas. Since pregnancy affects each woman’s body differently, each mommy makeover is unique. 

What’s Included in a Mommy Makeover?

The specific procedures included in a mommy makeover will vary depending on the patient’s individual concerns and desired outcome. During your consultation, Dr. Stile will discuss your goals and create a personalized surgical plan that addresses your specific needs. Common components include:

• Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
• Breast augmentation, lift, or both
• Liposuction

Other procedures that may be included include a thigh lift, arm lift, or Brazilian butt lift, depending on your concerns. 

How Long Does It Take to Recover from a Mommy Makeover?

Recovery time after mommy makeover surgery will depend on the extent of the surgery and the individual’s healing process. You should expect to feel sore and tired for the first few days, but most people resume light activities within the first week. People whose jobs do not involve strenuous activities or lifting can usually return after two weeks. 

Depending on the details of your procedure, you will usually be cleared to return to your exercise routine within about six weeks of your procedure. While most swelling fades in the first few weeks, your results may continue to develop for several months. 

How Long Do Mommy Makeover Results Last?

The results of a mommy makeover can be long-lasting, but it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and stable weight to preserve your results. As you age, your body will naturally undergo changes, but the overall improvements achieved with a mommy makeover can help you feel confident and comfortable in your skin for years to come.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

The best candidates for a mommy makeover are women who are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and have no plans for future pregnancies. While pregnancy after mommy makeover surgery is not harmful, it will affect your results. During your consultation, Dr. Stile will evaluate your medical history and discuss your goals to determine if a mommy makeover is right for you.

Dr. Stile and his staff will make you feel like you’re family. They really care and it shows. I had a breast augmentation, tummy tuck and liposuction. Dr. Stile is very talented. I couldn’t be happier results. I highly highly recommend him!

I’m a mother of 2 and I recently had a breast augmentation done by Dr. Stiles. I had a lift with an implant. I explained to Dr. Stiles that I wanted full and perky breast, but I didn’t want them to be too large . He achieved the perfect look for me! My entire experience has been wonderful thus far. His assistant Cynthia is also amazing. She was available to address my concerns day or night. If you are looking for a cosmetic surgeon in Vegas. I highly recommend Dr. Stiles and his entire staff.
