Is a Mommy Makeover painful?

During your Mommy Makeover, you will be pain-free due to the anesthesia. However, post-surgery, pain levels can vary from patient to patient, but it is normal to experience some discomfort. Dr. Yu will prescribe some temporary pain medications to alleviate any symptoms. He will also provide you with some instructions including compression garments, elevation, and specific movements that will help make your healing experience more comfortable.

How many appointments will I need?

The number of appointments required for a Mommy Makeover can vary depending on the specific procedures included in your treatment plan. In most cases, a Mommy Makeover involves multiple procedures performed in a single surgical session. This helps minimize downtime and achieve comprehensive results. In general, Dr. Yu would like to see you the day after your surgery, one week after your procedure, and then again during the two-week initial recovery period. However, the exact number of appointments required will depend on the complexity of your case and Dr. Yu will keep you abreast at every appointment as to if and when he will want to see you next.

How long until I see results?

Every patient will have a different timeline depending on the extent of their Mommy Makeover, their individual body’s healing patterns, and the circumstances of the operation. It is important to be patient through recovery and understand that in the first few weeks, bruising and swelling might hide the results of the procedure. For instance, if you had any type of body contouring, it might take a few weeks to a few months to see the finished results, and if you received any augmentations, it would take a few months for your altered body area to settle into its resting position.

Can I combine my Mommy Makeover with other procedures?

Yes, indeed! However, a Mommy Makeover is already a combination of several different body contouring procedures, which can consist of a Tummy Tuck , Breast Lift , Breast Augmentation , or even non-surgical treatments such as BOTOX or Dermal Fillers . We highly recommend that you bring any intentions of further procedures up with Dr. Yu during your initial consultation so that he can guide you as to the best optimum decision for your medical profile.

What are the risks associated with a Mommy Makeover?

Since a Mommy Makeover consists of multiple surgical procedures, patients need to be abreast of any risks. These can include, but are not limited to: Anesthesia risks Asymmetry Blood clots Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) Breast implant illness (BII) Capsular contracture Contour deformity Fat embolization Fat necrosis Hematoma Implant leak Inability to breastfeed Infection Loss of nipple sensation Persistent pain Poor healing of incisions Recurrent looseness of skin Seroma Unfavorable scarring Breast implant illness (BII) Patient safety is of the utmost priority for Premier Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa.
