Mommy Makeover Philadelphia, PA

Your mommy makeover procedure is performed under general anesthesia. This means that you will sleep deeply while all work is performed, free from any pain, discomfort, or stress. Afterward, our team will ensure you are comfortable by prescribing oral pain medication and scheduling a series of follow-up visits.

Our plastic surgeons strive to place incisions in areas where scarring will be most inconspicuous and well hidden. With breast surgery, incisions are typically placed along the inframammary fold where scarring is well-concealed. With abdominoplasty, scars are hidden along the panty line.

Our team typically recommends waiting 6 to 8 weeks before resuming strenuous workouts and heavy lifting. However, you will be able to get up and walk around right away after your procedure, which is encouraged, as it can enhance circulation and help prevent certain complications.

Your mommy makeover takes place over the course of multiple appointments at our world-class practice in Philadelphia. In conjunction with your preliminary consultation and surgery date, you will return to our offices for several follow-up sessions. These postoperative appointments allow our team to carefully monitor your healing process, remove your incisions and drains, and address any potential complications before they become issues.

While you will see positive changes in your figure with every passing week after surgery, it can take several months for all residual swelling and bruising to dissipate, so it is critical that you not judge your final outcome too quickly. Within 3 to 6 months, you will begin to enjoy the full benefits of your procedure.

A mommy makeover is already a combination procedure, but it can be paired with non-surgical facial rejuvenation techniques, such as BOTOX, fillers, or lip augmentation. We can discuss your options in depth during your initial appointment in Philadelphia.

By combining multiple body-sculpting procedures into a single event, a mommy makeover helps reduce overall risk compared with choosing each procedure individually. However, it is critical that you have a clear grasp of all potential complications, and our plastic surgeons will discuss the risks of a mommy makeover in detail during your initial consultation. In general, risk can include:

• Swelling
• Bruising
• Bleeding
• Infection
• Poor scarring
• Asymmetry
• Capsular contracture
• Implant migration or rupture
• A need for revision surgery

When selecting your mommy makeover surgeon in Philadelphia, you should first investigate each potential provider’s training background, specialized techniques, areas of interest, patient testimonials, and before-and-after photographs.
