How You’ll Benefit

A mommy makeover allows you to combine 2 or more surgeries at one time. This has several benefits, including consolidating multiple procedures into a single surgery and recovery period, reducing your exposure to anesthesia, and achieving more dramatic results quicker. It can also be financially beneficial, since you’ll only pay fees such as anesthesia and facility fees once.

A Personalized Experience

Dr. Augenstein will listen to your goals for surgery and help you decide which procedures will be most beneficial. Typically, his mommy makeover patients benefit from a combination of the following:

  • Breast augmentation: Dr. Nishan Moheeputh may recommend breast augmentation if your breasts have lost volume or shape. This is very common in women who breastfed.
  • Breast lift: A breast lift will improve the look of sagging breasts and restore your breasts to a more upright position. It can also be combined with an augmentation for women who need both enhanced shape and volume.
  • Tummy tuck: Tummy tuck surgery can slim your waist and restore firmness and muscle tone to your abdominal wall, which is often compromised by pregnancy. Women whose pregnancy resulted in diastasis recti, or separation of the abdominal muscles, are often good candidates for a tummy tuck.
  • Liposuction: Liposuction can remove stubborn areas of fat that don’t improve with diet or exercise. Liposuction is often combined with a tummy tuck for enhanced results.

Mommy Makeover Recovery

Because mommy makeovers include multiple surgeries, the recovery time can vary greatly depending on the number and type of procedures you have. He will give you more detailed recovery information after you’ve determined your surgical plan. Usually, Dr. Augenstein’s mommy makeover patients are back to their normal routines in about 4 to 6 weeks.

If you have small children, you may want to arrange for childcare during the first 1 to 2 weeks. You will be unable to walk fully upright for a few days, and you shouldn’t be doing any lifting for several weeks. Since mommy makeovers involve multiple surgeries, you’ll need to take it easy and let your body have time to heal.
