I am looking into getting a mommy makeover which would consist of a fat transfer to buttocks, liposuction, tummy tuck, and breast augmentation. Is having all these procedures done at once safe? What kind of recover time would I be looking at?

Answer: In properly selected patients a mommy makeover can include a large number of procedures. It's impossible to comment on your specific situation in the number of cases you mention is significant. However in the hands of a skilled surgeon with careful anesthetic management in an otherwise healthy patient these can be done together.

Answer: Mommy Makeover Considerations O.K., so you are finished having children, you have spent all of your time caring for others and now it is time to take a few days off to take care of yourself. What are the issues when considering a mommy makeover.Safety - anytime you undergo an elective cosmetic procedure, safety should be first and most important consideration. In considering this aspect, surgical time is critical. Never consider an elective surgery that takes any longer than 5-6 hours. If you are combining procedures, limit the combination to finish under this time. Another important part of safety is the surgeon - pick a board certified plastic surgeon who is certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery.Best Outcomes - Tummy tucks come in different varieties (min-tuck, full tummy tuck, reverse tummy tuck). A simple rule of thumb is to insure that any combined liposuction includes the flanks and back so that the desired shape is achieved. The choice of tuck will be determined by your physical needs. A full tummy tuck is ideal for woman with excess skin and fat above and below the belly button. A mini-tuck is ideal for those with excess skin and fat below the belly button. The reverse tuck is ideal for those with excess skin and fat above the belly button. In the end, my gold standard technique is the High Lateral tension Tummy Tuck with flank liposuction As for the breasts, if you are sagging and need volume, my Tear Drop Augmentation Mastopexy is a great choice.For more information on the breast surgery options,please read my book "Cosmetic Breast Surgery - A Complete Guide From A to Double D".
