What is Included in a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover with Dr. Coville typically includes a few core procedures but may include many others, depending on your needs. Most mommy makeovers will include:
- Abdominoplasty (a tummy tuck) to remove loose skin and repair abdominal muscles
- Breast enhancement (a lift, augmentation, or both) to restore your breasts
- Liposuction as needed for body contouring
Your consultation will allow you to discuss all your concerns, even those related to your intimate areas. You can combine almost any procedure with a mommy makeover for one recovery period and a lower cost.
How Long is Recovery After a Mommy Makeover?
Since each mommy makeover is a unique procedure, recovery times differ. Bruising, swelling, and discomfort will be most noticeable in the first few days after your procedure and will begin to fade within a week or two. You may be able to return to work after about two weeks if you have a minimally active job. Dr. Coville will monitor your progress and give you permission to return to work and other activities.
Swelling will continue to improve over the following weeks, and you can start to see your results. Residual swelling can take six months or more to resolve, so your mommy makeover results will continue to evolve. You can expect to see your final results within a year.
