Who is this procedure for?
The Mommy Makeover is for women experiencing persistent bodily changes after pregnancy. You may consider this procedure for breast sagging, loss of breast volume, excess abdominal skin, or diastasis recti. Stable weight and not being currently pregnant are usually required.
A future pregnancy remains possible, with a risk of partial alteration of the results.
Consultation process
Consultations allow for the assessment of the project’s medical feasibility and the definition of a coherent surgical strategy. The clinical examination analyzes the breasts, the abdomen, and, if necessary, other affected areas. A reflection period is always respected between consultations.
The expected benefits, limitations, and post-operative recovery are explained in detail.
Preparation steps, necessary examinations, technical choices
Preparation may include a blood test, breast imaging appropriate to your situation, and sometimes a complementary specialist opinion. The choice of techniques is based on your realistic aesthetic goals and anatomical constraints. A personalized quote will be provided after the surgical plan is approved.
Information regarding recovery, care, and social downtime is systematically discussed.
The procedure in practice
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia in most cases. The operating time depends on the number and complexity of the combined procedures. A short hospital stay may be recommended depending on the extent of the procedures performed.
The technical principles combine, depending on the indication, breast surgery and abdominal surgery, sometimes supplemented by targeted liposuction.
Post-operative recovery
Recovery involves moderate pain, usually managed with appropriate medication. Bruising and temporary swelling may occur in the first few weeks. Wearing compression garments is often recommended.
The resumption of daily activities is gradual, with a period of no sports for several weeks. Regular medical follow-up accompanies the recovery phase.
Results and scars
The goal is an overall improvement of the silhouette and better body harmony. Initial changes appear after swelling subsides. The results evolve over several months, sometimes up to a year.
Scars, tailored to each procedure, are located in typically concealable areas. Their quality depends on individual factors and adherence to post-operative care.
Risks and possible complications
Like any surgery, the Mommy Makeover carries potential risks: hematoma, infection, healing problems, or asymmetrical results. Complete information is provided during consultations.
Indications are carefully considered to reduce complications and ensure safe management.
Fees and coverage
The Mommy Makeover is most often considered cosmetic surgery, with variable fees depending on the combined procedures. Partial coverage may sometimes be considered for certain reconstructive procedures, under strict medical conditions.
A detailed and personalized quote specifies surgical and anesthetic fees, as well as hospitalization costs.
