Is a Mommy Makeover Painful?

During your surgeries for a Mommy Makeover, you will be under anesthesia so your experience should be comfortable and pain-free. As you recover, you should expect some bruising during the first one to three weeks, swelling for two to eight weeks, and some soreness or tenderness for several weeks after your surgery. Dr. Golger will provide you with some pain medication to help ease any pain or discomfort, but you can also use ice packs to help if needed.

How many appointments will I need?

Among the many Mommy Makeover questions, this is one of the most common. To keep it simple, a Mommy Makeover is always more than a single treatment, and its goal is to help you get your pre-baby body back. It can include treatments meant to undo some of the changes that pregnancy caused and may feature such options as liposuction, tummy tuck, breast augmentation, or even vaginal rejuvenation. These treatments may be possible with one surgical treatment, but some patients may need several visits or surgeries to get the best results.

How long until I see results?

Visible changes are highly reliant on which procedures you get, but many patients will be able to see a positive difference almost immediately. You will still be bruised and swollen for the first week or so, and it may take time for your body to finally settle into its natural state. Most patients can see their final results between six months and a year.

Can I combine Mommy Makeover with other procedures?

A Mommy Makeover is already a combination of different procedures, but if you would like to address any other areas of your face or body, please discuss this with Dr. Golger during your consultation. He will be pleased to listen to your concerns and offer his expertise to help you decide on the best options that we provide.

What are the risks associated with Mommy Makeover?

Dr. Golger prides himself in performing safe and successful procedures that provide pleasing results, however, there are certain risks and side effects associated with any surgical procedures. The ones associated with a Mommy Makeover surgery can include, but are not limited to: Anesthesia risks Asymmetry Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) Breast implant illness (BII) Capsular contracture Contour deformity Deep venous thrombosis Delayed wound healing Fat embolization Fat necrosis Hematoma Implant leak Inability to breastfeed Infection Loss of nipple sensation Persistent pain Poor healing of incisions Recurrent looseness of skin Seroma Unfavorable scarring If you experience any long-lasting or concerning reactions, please contact us right away.

Introduction to Mommy Makeover

Everyone loves babies, and whether you’re becoming a mother for the first time or even the fifth time, childbirth is such a beautiful experience. Some cons do come with pregnancy because it often leaves a woman with a thicker waistline, stretch marks, weakened abdominal muscles, sagging breasts, and excess loose sagging skin in the abdominal region. If you are proud of being a mom, but not so proud of how your post-partum body looks, a Mommy Makeover in Scottsdale is a wonderful option.

Arm Lift
Breast Augmentation

What’s the First Step?

The first step to getting a Mommy Makeover in Scottsdale is to book a consultation at Plastic Surgery Scottsdale. When you come into our practice, you will meet with Dr. Golger and he will examine your body. After discussing the areas of your concern with you, he will help you decide the best combination of cosmetic procedures that will help you achieve your desired appearance and you will be able to ask any questions that you may have. Dr. Golger will also ask you some questions regarding your medical history and lifestyle, so it’s important, to be honest and open with him to prevent any unnecessary risks.

What to Expect on the Day of Mommy Makeover

On the day of your Mommy Makeover, you will begin with an administration of anesthesia, which will be general anesthesia or intravenous sedation, depending on what you discussed with Dr. Golger during your consultation. Once you are properly sedated, your surgery will begin.

Dr. Golger will discuss what you should expect on the day of your Mommy Makeover surgery, but for a better understanding of what your surgery will entail, please read the “What to Expect” sections for the following procedures:

Mommy Makeover Recovery

A compression garment will be given to each patient after surgery and is worn for the first several weeks to assist with swelling and fluid accumulation. Patients can experience significant pain and discomfort over the first week, as well as experience some swelling. The swelling tends to subside after the first three weeks post-surgery. A liquid or soft diet may be required for the first 24-48 hours after surgery. Patients can anticipate that their recovery will vary significantly between two and six weeks.

Patients generally feel well enough to return to work and other daily routine activities about two weeks after surgery. However, strenuous exercise should be postponed for four to six weeks after surgery. The results of the procedures will not be immediately apparent, they will take some time to fully unveil themselves, especially as the swelling and bruising subside. As the body heals over the next six weeks to three months, the patient will start to see full and more noticeable results.

If you would like to know more about the recovery process for individual treatments, please refer to their designated page on our website.
