Am I a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

The first mommy makeover must-ask question is whether or not you would be a good candidate for the procedures. If you are experiencing loose and sagging skin as well as weakened or separated stomach muscles and are in good health, you may be a potential candidate for a mommy makeover. The procedures involved can help to contour your body by removing excess skin and fat as well as repairing the underlying abdominal muscles, giving you a smooth result.

Mommy makeovers often include a tummy tuck as well as breast augmentation with or without a lift, liposuction or even laser skin rejuvenation treatments. Body contouring through liposuction may also help restore your figure and hopefully give you a bit more confidence about the way you look.

What is the Recovery from a Mommy Makeover Like?

Another big mommy makeover must-ask question involves the recovery period. It’s important to keep in mind that your individual recovery experience and results will vary. Your recovery will also depend on the types and number of procedures you choose to have. You will most likely need to take around 2 to 3 weeks off of work as well as wear a body compression garment while you heal.
