Beverly Hills, CA individuals who have a mommy makeover enjoy a number of advantages from their procedures, like:

• Get more than one aesthetic procedure at one time, as opposed to various recovery times

• Minimization of some pregnancy-related imperfections, like stretch marks and hanging skin
• Improvement of breast contour, volume, and perkiness

In general, the best candidates for a mommy makeover are in good health and have realistic expectations for their results. Women should also be at or near their ideal body weight and be committed to maintaining a stable weight going forward. Andre P.

Our team will perform an exam and review your medical history to ensure your candidacy.

The mommy makeover procedure is a unique combination of surgeries that will be custom-tailored to address your areas of concern. The most popular treatments in a mommy makeover are liposuction of the flanks and lower back, as well as breast lift surgery, breast implants, and tummy tuck. The mommy makeover surgeries are performed while the patient is under general anesthesia lasting 3 – 7 hours, depending on the number of treatments. Also, a day-long stay at the hospital may be required. Once leaving the hospital, you will begin to recover at home with rest. Recovering from this surgery is generally a gradual process. Walking will be hard the first week or so, and you should carefully follow the at-home treatment protocol to ensure proper healing of the incisions and sutures. Even though the full recovery could take about six months, most patients are able to get back to a normal routine within a couple of weeks.
