When I'm looking at mommy makeover before and after pictures, should I look at separate photos of tummy tucks, liposuction, and breast lifts (with or without breast augmentation)? Or should I ask to see examples of a total mommy makeover on a single woman (or several women)?

Answer: Pictures you need to see
I think seeing the procedures in total when evaluating a mommy makeover makes the best sense. A surgeon who performs mommy makeovers regularly should be able to show you representative work. I also know many of colleagues cover the tummy tuck scar with bikinis on their website. Ask them to show you pictures of the scars when you are at your consultation, it is important for you to see how their scars are positioned and their quality.

Answer: Ask to See Mommy Makeover Before-and-After Photos Viewing before-and-after photos is one of the best ways to help you choose a plastic surgeon. Looking at photos showing the various mommy makeover procedures separately is fine, but a plastic surgeon who doesn't have a distinct category of mommy makeover before-and-after photos may not be very experienced performing the procedure. That's something you should consider when choosing a surgeon. Best of LuckDr. Romanelli

Answer: Both groups of photos can be helpful A "mommy makeover" is a common term to generally describe various procedures to enhance both your breasts and abdomen commonly effected by pregnancies. The goals are to restore your breasts and abdomen to their pre pregnancy appearance or even better. Breast enhancement options include breast implants only, breast lift/reduction only or some combination of the three. Abdomen improvement can be as simple as liposuction but commonly may require tummy tuck. Therefore it is best to research all of the procedure separately but also combined to get a good idea of expected outcomes for your particular situation.

Answer: Mommy makeover photos Thank you for your question. When looking at results pertaining to your mommy makeover, you should be asking to see any of the above - breasts, tummies, and both together, if possible. While tummy tuck and breast augmentation (or lift) do not typically have much effect on one another (even when performed together), it is indeed nice to see the "full package". That said, before and after photos are examples of a particular surgeon's work, not necessarily carbon copies of how you as an individual patient can be expected to turn out. Your personal result is determined by your own anatomy and appropriateness for the operation, as well as the particular surgeon's skill. Good luck!

Answer: Pictures of mommy makeover results Before and after pictures are one of the most important ways for you to choose among board-certified plastic surgeons. You should hope to see many examples of each procedure individually as well as many examples of the combined procedures of a mommy makeover. There are large differences in results between surgeons, especially when several procedures are combined for a mommy makeover. Good luck.

Answer: How to Seek a Surgeon for a Mommy Makeover The Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures to restore a woman’s body to look as is it did prior to pregnancy. Most commonly some variation of a #TummyTuck and #BreastSurgery are performed. Additional procedures can include liposuction, umbilical hernia repair. The most common #breastprocedures include #mastopexy or #breastlift, #breastaugmentation, or #breastreduction. Your procedures should always be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for a revision surgery. It is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.
