How Does a Mommy Makeover Work?
A mommy makeover is a body contouring treatment tailored just for moms by plastic surgeon Dr. Hakimi based on the specific body areas that tend to need reshaping after pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing. Many procedures can be paired together — the most popular treatments are breast lift, breast implants, tummy tuck, and liposuction. Your treatment plan might also include nonsurgical methods, such as an injectable or laser treatment, to soften facial lines and reduce surface irregularities. These surgeries are performed using general anesthesia, taking 3 – 7 hours based upon the number of treatments. After a recovery period, you will start your recovery at home with the post-operative instructions we supply. The recovery process is generally a slow process. Walking will be hard the first week or so, and a carefully followed home-care protocol will be necessary to ensure the incisions and sutures heal properly. Most women find the healing phase can last around six months. The majority of women are able to get back to a normal routine within a couple of weeks. Working out should wait for about two months. In the end, the mommy makeover procedure at Dr. Hakimi’s office can make an incredible impact for women, allowing them to love the way they look and feel once again.
