A "mommy makeover" plans procedures for the breasts, abdomen and waist together to address body changes after pregnancy and breastfeeding. It is not a standard package but a personalised plan.
Commonly combined procedures
- Tummy tuck or liposuction
- Breast lift, augmentation or reduction
- Local fat removal and fat transfer
Why plan it in one go?
- One anaesthetic and one recovery period
- Planning around the body as a whole
Things to consider
- Several procedures mean a longer operation and a more demanding recovery.
- It is not right for everyone; health, weight and expectations must be assessed.
- A waiting period after birth and breastfeeding is usually advised for the body to settle; the physician decides the timing.
Recovery
Recovery is planned around the total of the procedures; arranging help at home matters.
Which procedures can be combined is decided after a preliminary examination.
