How Long Before I See Mommy Makeover Results?

Thank you for your question.

You will start seeing your results at 3-6 months post op surgery.  Your breast implants will need to settle into their pocket, the swelling needs to go away, etc..

Please allow your body time to heal and once you are at the 6 month mark, you can discuss revisionary surgery with your surgeon if you feel that there are issues that need to be concerned.

The scar can take up to one full year to mature - I usually ask my tummy tuck patients to wait a year before we do any type of scar revision.

I hope this helps.

The timeline for seeing the full results of a mommy makeover can vary based on several factors, including the specific procedures performed, individual healing rates, and your body's response to surgery. Here's a general guideline:

Immediate Changes: You'll notice some immediate changes right after surgery, but these initial results may be obscured by swelling, bruising, and surgical dressings.

Initial Recovery: During the first few weeks, swelling and bruising will gradually decrease. You might start seeing some improvement in contour and shape, especially in areas where liposuction was performed.

Longer-Term Healing: Over the next few months, you'll notice more significant improvements. Incision lines will continue to fade, and the breasts and abdomen will settle into their final shape.

Final Results: While most of the visible changes are apparent within the first few months, it can take up to a year for all swelling to completely resolve, incision lines to mature, and for the full results to be visible.

Factors such as the extent of the procedures, your body's healing process, following post-operative care instructions, and individual variations in recovery can influence how quickly you see the final results.

It's essential to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions, attend follow-up appointments, and be patient during the healing process. Your surgeon will provide guidance on what to expect and when you can anticipate seeing the full results of your mommy makeover.

Each patient is unique and previous #results are not a guarantee for individual outcomes. As with all cosmetic surgery, results will be rewarding if expectations are realistic.  Pain varies per person and medication to control #discomfort will be provided. Healing will continue for 2-3 months for the early period. This includes some swelling, bruising, malposition, color differences. Sensation in the breasts may also be abnormal and scars will be evolve. Tingling, burning or shooting pains in the breasts will disappear with time and should not alarm you. It is simply a result of the regeneration of your sensory nerves. If these sensations cause pain, repeated, local self-massage per your surgeon's permission may help.
