What to Expect After a Mommy Makeover?

The birth of your child is a joyous moment of welcoming a new family member, but it can also feel like saying goodbye to your pre-baby figure. A mommy makeover restores the parts of your body most affected by pregnancy to help you regain your slimmer, more sculpted appearance. This procedure is tailored to your needs to help you look even better than you did before pregnancy.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

Dr. Tenley Lawton’s experience as a mother of two makes her especially committed to superior mommy makeover results. She understands how powerful this transformation can be for women who feel like pregnancy has affected how they feel about their bodies. A mommy makeover is a combination of several procedures that address the most common post-pregnancy concerns. 

What is Included in a Mommy Makeover?

While each mommy makeover is unique, Dr. Lawton has found that most women achieve their desired results with three procedures:

You can also use this opportunity to add other procedures or non-surgical treatments to maximize your results. Discuss all your concerns during your consultation so your treatment plan gives you the results you want.

What to Expect After a Mommy Makeover

Knowing what to expect before a procedure helps you make preparations for your recovery time. Dr. Lawton and her team will provide you with detailed instructions. 

Recovery

You will have some bruising, swelling, and discomfort, especially for the first two weeks. If you have had a full tummy tuck, your motions will be limited, so you will need assistance with lifting or other tasks. You can expect to spend the first two weeks or more resting and recovering before returning to low-activity jobs. 

 

Dr. Lawton will see you for several follow-up visits and let you know when you can resume various activities. Some people might return to their normal routine in six to eight weeks, while others may need more time to recover. Taking enough time to rest is vital to your recovery and avoiding complications. 

Results

While there will be differences immediately after your procedure, you will have bandages and support garments on that prevent you from seeing them right away. Most people get their first look at their results after about two weeks when most of the swelling has resolved. Full results may continue to evolve for up to a year

Mommy makeover results can last a lifetime but can change if your body changes. Significant weight changes or pregnancy can undo some of the benefits of the procedure. We recommend that women considering a mommy makeover maintain a healthy lifestyle and not plan to become pregnant in the future.
