How Far In Advance Of Mommy Makeover To Start Consultations?

Starting consultations for a mommy makeover well in advance allows for thorough planning, addressing your concerns, and understanding the procedure details. Typically, it's advisable to start consultations several months before your desired surgery date. Here's a suggested timeline:

3 to 6 Months Before Surgery: Begin researching and scheduling consultations with board-certified plastic surgeons. This allows ample time to meet with multiple surgeons, discuss your goals, understand the procedures, and ask any questions.

Consultation Period: During these consultations, surgeons will assess your health, discuss your goals, explain the procedures, potential risks, recovery expectations, and provide personalized recommendations.

Decision-Making: After meeting with several surgeons, take time to carefully consider your options, review before-and-after photos, and choose the surgeon you feel most comfortable and confident with.

Pre-Surgery Preparation: Once you've chosen your surgeon, you'll schedule your surgery date. Your surgeon might provide pre-operative instructions, such as adjusting medications or lifestyle changes, which you can start preparing for.

Final Preparations: In the weeks leading up to your surgery, you'll have pre-operative appointments for final assessments, discussions about anesthesia, and more detailed instructions for the day of surgery.

Starting consultations well in advance allows for a thorough evaluation of your needs, ample time for decision-making, and proper preparation both mentally and physically for the surgery. It's also beneficial for scheduling, as popular surgeons might have longer wait times for consultations or surgeries.

If you’re considering mommy makeover surgery it’s never too
early to start the consultation process. It’s important to understand that
consultations are designed to be educational. For this reason, it’s important
to start early and take as much times as you need to get comfortable with mommy
makeover surgery.

                During
this process it’s extremely important that you gain a thorough understanding of
the risks, benefits, alternatives and possible complications associated with
this procedure. It’s important that you’re comfortable with your surgeon’s
qualifications and experience. Make sure you’re able to communicate with your
surgeon easily. Finally it’s important to have a comfort level with the accreditation
and certification of the surgical facility where your procedure will be
performed.

                When
these steps are taken, patients are better prepared for surgery, and this
ultimately makes the overall experience more comfortable.

It really depends on when you'd like to have your mommy makeover. It would only take about a week to have your first consultation, lab work done and your surgery (if you are cleared for surgery). However, that is only if the surgeon has the time available to book you and you're in a rush. Unless you know exactly who you want to perform your surgery and they have the time in their schedule, I suggest you take your time and not rush through this process. After all, it's important that you choose the right surgeon! Look for a plastic surgeon who is experienced, reputable and board certified. See if you have good rapport with them and trust them. Then, go with your instinct.
