How much time will a person be under? Do most doctors put you completely out with general anesthesia? Are there any that use sedation? How long will they need to be at the hospital after surgery? Do you recommend staying overnight?
Answer: It Depends Depending on the type of procedure and the surgeon or surgeons involved, a mommy makeover may take as little as 4 hours to as long as 8 hours. In my practice, I have the luxury to have another board certified plastic surgeon whom I "tag team" all of the mommy makeover surgeries with and they take much less time. Less anesthesia time and less operating room time leading to a faster recovery.We also do the single incision mommy makeover which only uses one incision for both a tummy tuck and a breast augmentation.

Answer: Mommy Makeover Mommy Makeover refers to a set of procedures that help women address concerns after pregnancy and breastfeeding. The procedures vary by patient goals, but often include a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast work either in the form of augmentation, lift, or both. The length of the surgery depends on the patient and the procedures selected. They are performed under general surgery for your comfort and safety. Some patients can go home the same day, while others may need to stay for a day or two in the hospital depending on their medical history. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Answer: #MommyMakeover: How Long Is Surgery? A mommy makeover typically involves surgery of the breasts and body. Surgery times are dependent on the amount of procedures involved (breast lift, implants, tummy tuck, liposuction, areola reduction, etc.). I perform all of my mommy makeover procedures under general anesthesia with an anesthesiologist. On average, patients can be under general anesthesia anywhere from 3-8 hours. I only recommend an overnight stay in the hospital when medically necessary or if the patient does not have an attentive caregiver at home.

Answer: Mommy Makeover, Tummy Tuck, Breast Augmentation, Breast Lift Mommy Makeover is a general term that describes reversing the changes that often come after pregnancy and breast feeding. This includes saggy breasts, loose skin and a widened abdomen. Surgery involves breast augmentation/lift and an abdominoplasty. Depending on the patient and how extensive the surgery needs to be, it can range from 5-8 hours. If the surgical plan will extend over 6 hours, I will often advise the patient to stage the surgeries for safety reasons.

Answer: Mommy Makeover: How long is surgery? Pregnancy can take a toll on a women's body. In order to help reverse some of the effects of child bearing, many women choose to have a "mommy makeover". A mommy makeover can involve ANY of the areas affected by pregnancy: most commonly a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and breast augmentation and/or lift (mastopexy). Other commonly requested surgical procedures include liposuction surgery and/or genitalia surgery. Duration of surgery will vary depending on exactly which procedures are performed; duration of surgery will also vary from one practice to another. The same holds true for whether patients “stay overnight” or are discharged home. It is our practice, for example, most patients are discharged home, preferably under the care of a nurse. I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to mommy makeover surgeon concerns) helps. Best wishes.
