Mommy Makeover

As some of my colleauges stated, a "mommy makeover" refers to a series of cosmetic surgery procedures intended to restore a woman’s figure after pregnancy. I perform these procedures as part of a “mommy makeover” for patients who want an improved figure after having children. Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can take a serious toll on a woman’s body, and many moms find that no amount of diet and exercise can restore their pre-baby figures... more

Mommy Makeover surgery combines multiple procedures and is always done SAFELY!

A "mommy makeover" is a trendy term for surgical rejuvenation of the breasts, body and sometimes hips, thighs, buttocks, etc. Following pregnancy, a woman's body does not usually return to exactly the same state as before having children, especially if multiple babies have been born over years or a "multiple" pregnancy (twins, triplets) has occurred. Multiple operations performed at one time can be done SAFELY as long as a properly-trained, experienced,... more

Mommy Makeover Safety?

Thank you for the question. I would not suggest elective surgery that lasts 7- 8 hours for a number of reasons related to safety and surgical outcome. I hope this helps.

Mommy makeover

It sounds like a lot of work for one day of surgery, and if you really are 23, I would think you are a bit young for eye surgery. Besides, if you are planning to have more children, I would wait to do the breasts and abdomen.

A lot of surgery in one sitting

You are looking at a minimum of 8 hours of surgery, even in the hands of an experienced and fast surgeon. Also a considerable recovery time. I would not advocate all these procedures at one sitting. In addition you are 23 years old, If you plan more children you will be undoing all the procedures with another pregnancy. I would think long and hard about my long term plans before embarking on a combination of procedures of this magnitude.

Multiple Operations and Safety

The procedures you list are in part counter to each other in terms of recovery, and a LOT of surgery. A mommy makeover is typically a breast procedure combined with an abdominal procedure. Depending on the surgery performed, it may take 4-6 hours of anesthesia time to complete. Adding elective procedures on beyond this that greatly increase the surgery time (such as a butt lift) is unwise. Also, a butt lift recovery often requires sleeping on your stomach where as a breast lift requires... more

Mommy Makeover

Now lets see the surgeries you want: 1. lower eyelids, 2. Full Tummy Tuck, 3. Breast Lifts, 4. Liposuction, 5, Brazilian Butt Lift. All can be done in one operation but very unlikely unless in hospital with over night stay. Just for your safety. As for sleeping there are risks for being on your back but there are limited. You should appreciate the previous expert answers of Rand, Placik, Shureih they have opened your eyes. Now the surgeons and costs are hard to discuss. In general this... more

Extensive mommy makeover

This is too many surgeries to do in one day even if yo are a good candidate for each. You need to go to a top plastic surgeon in Boston and get honest advice. You also need to wait until you are done having kids. You sound like you may be too critical of yourself at age 23.

Just because it can be done, doesn't mean it should fbe done!

This is a fairly extensive list of procedures to complete in one settting and it may depend on the resources available to you. Simple considerations include your transportation and ability to care for yourself. Even if the combination could be completed together, some surgeons prefer you not to sleep on the buttocks following grafting but this would be difficult to sleep on your stomach as well. see video
