Ensure your surgeon is board-certified, experienced in the procedure you want, and has positive patient reviews. Ask to see before-and-after photos of similar procedures.

Anesthesia works by blocking pain and awareness during surgery. Local anesthesia numbs a specific area, while sedation or general anesthesia helps you relax or sleep completely through the procedure. Your vital signs are monitored throughout to ensure safety.

Every surgical procedure comes with inherent risks. It’s important to understand what they are, how frequently they happen, and how they will be addressed if they arise. If a doctor doesn’t openly discuss these risks or acknowledge their existence, it may be wise to seek a second opinion.

A Mommy Makeover typically involves a combination of cosmetic procedures designed to restore a woman’s pre-pregnancy body. Common procedures include:

• Breast Augmentation or Lift: Enhances or lifts the breasts to restore shape and volume.
• Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Removes excess skin and tightens muscles in the abdomen.
• Liposuction: Eliminates stubborn fat in areas like the abdomen, hips, and thighs.
• Buttock Enhancement: Shapes or lifts the buttocks, if desired.

Each Mommy Makeover is tailored to the patient’s individual goals and needs.
