How quickly can mommy makeover be scheduled? What's the healing time? (photo)

Based on your photos you look like a great candidate. The first step is setting up consults and finding the right surgeon for you. I wouldn’t make timing your number one priority as you want it done safely and to get a great result.
Make sure you see a board certified plastic surgeon. It’s not unusual to be scheduled out several months.

A mommy makeover can usually be planned within just a few weeks once your check-ups and clearances are ready. I always guide my patients step by step so the process feels smooth and stress-free.
Healing is a journey: the first couple of weeks are for rest, by one month you’ll feel more active, and at three months most patients already enjoy their new shape with confidence. Over the next several months, swelling fades, scars soften, and your final, lasting results shine through.
With the right care and support, recovery is not only safe, it’s rewarding. Most of my patients say they feel more confident and comfortable in their bodies than they have in years.

Hello, and thank you for your question about how quickly a mommy makeover can be scheduled and what the typical healing time is after undergoing a mommy makeover. Thank you for your picture and your history. Regarding scheduling, a mommy makeover depends on the plastic surgeon's availability. Some plastic surgeons are not as busy as others and can schedule you very quickly. Other, more established plastic surgeons are busy and can be completely booked for several years. Additionally, most plastic surgeons require that you undergo baseline laboratory tests before any surgical procedure, especially a mommy makeover. Baseline labs and review take approximately two weeks to collect and analyze. Therefore, if you wanted a mommy makeover performed as soon as possible, on average, you should expect a minimum two-week waiting time. Regarding healing time, allow yourself at least two weeks after a mommy makeover to return to your daily activities. Please allow yourself 2 to 3 weeks before returning to your sitting job after a mommy makeover and 3 to 4 weeks before resuming a physically active job. After a mommy makeover, allow yourself 6 to 8 weeks before returning to modified exercise and approximately 2 to 3 months before returning to full exercise. Good luck. I hope this helps answer your question regarding how quickly a mommy makeover can be scheduled and what the average healing time is.

Thank you for your photos. A mommy makeover is a basket term for any combination of a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast lift, breast augmentation, or combination of a breast lift with augmentation. You should have a detailed consultation with your plastic surgeon about exactly which procedures you would like to have done. This allows your surgeon to estimate the amount of time that it would take and coordinate that with the facilities that they work at. The surgeons availability and the facilities availability combined with your ability would determine how soon the procedure could be done. Recovery time is on the order of approximately 3 to 4 weeks although you will be mobile and ambulatory immediately.

Thanks so much for your question,

The scheduling time for a mommy makeover depends on several factors, including the surgeon’s availability, pre-surgery requirements (consultation, medical clearance, lab tests), and your location. Some surgeons may have openings soon

For the Healing Time, by the week 1-2 1-2 is the most intense recovery period; expect swelling, bruising, and discomfort. You’ll need help with daily tasks.

Week 4-6 You may start light activities, but no strenuous exercise. Some return to work (if not physically demanding).

Week 6-8: Swelling reduces significantly, and most people resume normal routines.

Sincerely, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol

Hi there, according to your pictures I would like to say you are excellent candidate for mommy makeover surgery. Breast lift and augmentation, tummy tuck with waist liposuction seems to be excellent solution for you. You can set this up in time frame. You should give yourself approximately 10 days before work. I hope this answer helps you

Thanks for your question and pictures. You look like a great candidate for a mommy makeover! You would likely require a tummy tuck with some liposuction along with a breast augmentation and possible breast lift. Surgery typically can be scheduled within 3 weeks from consult if you are healthy and your surgeon's schedule allows for it. Initial healing/downtime (off work and driving with minimal activity) is usually 2-3 weeks. By 6 weeks, you may start to return to the gym and start increasing activities. By 6-8 months, you should feel back to normal. Make sure you meet with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Thanks for your question!
Set up a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and timeframe for surgery.
Healing may take some time. Most patients return to work in two weeks. No lifting greater than 10 lbs for six weeks. Best wishes!

Mommy Makeover can typically be scheduled within 2-3 weeks if you're generally healthy without any medical problems/issues, weight stable, and able to get medical clearance. Upon review of these photos, it appears you would be a good candidate for breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and flank liposuction. We recommend 2 weeks off from physically laborious work and 3 weeks in some cases for patients with more physically demanding work.

Thank you for your inquiry! The time frame for scheduling surgery depends on the surgeon as each surgeon's schedule varies. Recovery for mommy makeover is 6 weeks! We recommend scheduling a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to make sure you're a candidate for these procedures. We would love to meet with you virtually or in person to discuss your goals and make a surgical plan for you!
