Dr. Rafael Camberos can tailor the Mommy Makeover procedure to your specific needs so that you can feel confident about how you look.
Pregnancy and motherhood are amazing life experiences, but they can take a significant toll on your body. If you aren’t happy with the way your body looks after having children, consider a mommy makeover.
A mommy makeover is a group of plastic surgery procedures, such as breast augmentation, liposuction, and tummy tucks, handpicked to address the unique issues you are facing with your post-baby body.
Candidates for a ‘Mommy Makeover’
The ideal candidate for these plastic surgery procedures is a woman who has had children, does not plan to have any more, and has not been breastfeeding for at least six months.
She should also be at or near her ideal weight with a Body Mass Index (BMI) less than 30. Additionally, she should be a non-smoker and overall, in good health.
It is possible to have another baby after a mommy makeover, but you should discuss this with Dr. Camberos. Dramatic changes in weight will often require additional corrective procedures in the future.
Plastic surgery procedures involved
You have many options when it comes to the procedures you can choose from for your makeover. Some of the possibilities include:
Dr. Rafael Camberos will discuss these options with you and help you choose the ones that will help you achieve the look you want. For example, you might elect to have fat transfer breast augmentation with a mini tummy tuck – or a breast lift, bikini tummy tuck, and liposuction may get you closer to where you want to be.
Preparing for ‘Mommy Makeover’
First, you will need to schedule an online consultation with Dr. Camberos to discuss your concerns and goals and ask any questions you may have. You will benefit from making a list ahead of time of things you would like to address during your consultation. During this consultation, you can expect to discuss:
- Your medical history and any medications you currently take
- Your expected procedure timeline and the potential risks of surgery
- Your health conditions, allergies, and prior surgeries
You may also have the opportunity to view before-and-after pictures of patients who have had procedures similar to the ones you are considering.
About your recovery
The amount of time it will take your body to heal depends on several factors, including how many and what type of procedures you had, your body’s natural responses to anesthesia and surgery, and how closely you follow your doctor Camberos’ post-op instructions.
Be sure to find out beforehand how much time you will need to take off work – and take the full amount of time. You will also need to coordinate care for your children while you’re healing.
Expect to need someone around to help you for the first few days so that you can rest as much as possible. In general, getting some light exercise (with your doctor Camberos’ consent), eating a healthy diet, avoiding tobacco, and getting plenty of rest is essential to a speedy, safe recovery.
