Mommy MakeOver

• Frequently Asked Questions

• QWhat is a Mommy Makeover?
• A Mommy Makeover is a term used to describe
  rejuvenation of the breasts and abdomen. The goal
  is to address some of the common physical changes
  that can occur following pregnancy. On the
  breast, these most commonly include sagging and
  deflation. On the abdomen, it is often excess
  skin with stretch marks and bulging.
• Q Who is a good candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
• A A woman in overall good health who has
  completed her childbearing.
• Q What can I expect in my initial consultation?
• A Your plastic surgeon will ask about your
  general medical history and examine your areas of
  concern. This is the opportunity for you to
  discuss what bothers you. Together, you will
  devise a treatment plan that addresses your
  concerns and is surgically feasible.

• Q Is the Mommy Makeover done all at one time?
• A It can be done in one or two stages, depending
  on how many areas need to be addressed.
• Q What are the different options for a Mommy
  Makeover?
• A It is some combination of the following
  breast lift, with or without augmentation breast
  reduction Abdominoplasty (also known as a tummy
  tuck) Mini-Abdominoplasty (mini tummy tuck)
  and liposuction.
• Q What happens during the Mommy Makeover
  surgery?
• A The breasts are lifted. If there is volume
  loss from pregnancy and breast feeding, this can
  be remedied with the addition of a breast
  implant. Alternatively, if the breasts are
  excessively large and causing discomfort, the
  size may be reduced. In an Abdominoplasty, the
  abdominal muscles are tightened to strengthen the
  midsection and narrow the waist. Lastly, the
  excess lower abdominal skin with stretch marks is
  removed.

• Q Can I have more kids after my Mommy Makeover?
• A If more children are planned in the near
  future, it is better to wait, especially on the
  Abdominoplasty. Additional pregnancies are
  possible following Abdominoplasty. However, the
  final result may not be as good if the tissues
  are stretched again with another pregnancy.
• Q Will a caesarean section or hysterectomy
  affect Mommy Makeover results?
• A No, the incision for the Abdominoplasty is at
  the same level on the lower abdomen. Some women
  have bothersome extra skin that hangs over their
  caesarean section or hysterectomy incision. An
  Abdominoplasty can remove this scar and skin in
  order to smooth the contour.
• Q When is the best time to have a Mommy
  Makeover?
• A When childbearing is complete and a stable
  weight has been achieved. Significant weight gain
  or loss after surgery may diminish the final
  result.

5

• QI have a hernia. Can an Abdominoplasty be done
  at the same time as the hernia repair?
• A Hernias at the belly button are very common in
  women who have had multiple pregnancies or
  twin/triplet pregnancies. These hernias can be
  addressed by a general surgeon during the same
  operation. This combined procedure allows the
  patient to have a single recovery. Our Plastic
  and Reconstructive Surgery Division and General
  Surgery Division work closely to assist patients
  with this.
• Q What are the risks ofMommy Makeover surgery?
• A The risks are similar to most major
  operations. They include wound healing, bleeding,
  infection, and seroma (fluid collection)
  formation which can be taken care if one can
  follow the precautions of Plastic Surgeon

6

• Q Where are the incisions?
• A The incisions will depend upon the procedures
  chosen and the techniques utilized by your
  surgeon. In general, for a breast lift, there is
  a circular incision around the areola which is
  carried straight down toward the fold under the
  breast. It is sometimes called a lollipop scar,
  as this is the shape. Placement of an implant
  (augmentation) can be done through this same
  incision if needed.
• For the Abdominoplasty, there is a linear
  incision from hip bone to hip bone which can be
  hidden under the bikini line. Depending on the
  type of Abdominoplasty, there may or may not be a
  circular scar around the belly button, as well.
• Q Will I have scars?
• A Yes, it is not possible to perform these
  operations without making incisions and leaving
  scars. Once the incisions are fully healed, your
  plastic surgeon will instruct you as to how to
  minimize the scars and help them fade over time.
  With careful operative technique and attention to
  scar management post-operatively, plastic surgeon
  will guide on how to have the finest, smallest
  scar as possible.

• Q What can I expect after surgery?
• A Depending on the types of surgeries chosen and
  whether the breast, abdomen, or both are
  addressed, recovery times will vary. You may go
  home the same day. Alternatively, your plastic
  surgeon may recommend an overnight stay if
  extensive surgery was performed, or if you have
  other medical issues.
• Recovery can range from one to four weeks in most
  cases. Most patients are elated with their new
  and improved contours after surgery.
• Q When can I resume normal activities after
  Mommy Makeover?

  available to assist you in caring for children
  for the first week after surgery. Recovery can
  range from one to four weeks in most cases.

• Q How long do I need off from a desk job after a
  Mommy Makeover?

• QHow do I know if I need liposuction or a tummy
  tuck?
• A Our plastic surgeons can give a professional
  opinion as to which procedure, or combination
  thereof, can best rectify the situation at hand.
  But you can do a little test at home, too. Lie
  on the floor, flat with your head down. Any
  bulging in the belly indicates the muscles have
  separated and need to be remedied with a tummy
  tuck.

  behind a thinner abdomen with firmer skin a
  tummy tuck will tighten and flatten the stomach
  and also get rid of any skin thats loose and
  flabby.
