What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is an individualized combination of surgical procedures designed to restore a woman’s pre-pregnancy body contours and address the lasting effects of childbirth and breastfeeding. The most commonly requested components of a mommy makeover include:
- Tummy Tuck – Tighten the abdominal muscles and remove excess skin to create a flatter, firmer midsection.
- Liposuction – Eliminate stubborn fat deposits from various body areas (including the abdomen) that resist diet and exercise.
- Breast Lift – Correct sagging breasts by raising and reshaping them to a more youthful position.
- Breast Augmentation – Restore lost breast volume and enhance size using saline or silicone implants.
- Breast Reduction – Instead of a breast augmentation, some women may decide on a reduction in breast tissue to alleviate physical discomfort and achieve better bodily proportions.
However, it’s important to understand that while these procedures form the foundation of most mommy makeovers, your transformation is truly whatever you want it to be. Dr. Prescott works closely with each patient to create a personalized surgical plan that adheres to their specific concerns and aesthetic goals, whether that includes additional body contouring, facial rejuvenation, or other complementary procedures.
Is a Mommy Makeover Right For Me?
Ideal candidates for a mommy makeover in Louisville, Kentucky, are women whose families are complete and are in good overall health. You should be at a stable weight and have realistic expectations about your results. Additionally, candidates should be non-smokers or willing to quit smoking, as tobacco use significantly impairs healing and increases surgical risks.
The Procedure
A mommy makeover typically begins with general anesthesia to ensure your comfort and safety. Dr. Prescott will carefully execute the planned combination of procedures, which may involve addressing breast, body, and facial concerns during the same day of surgery. The specific techniques and approach will vary based on your individualized treatment plan, with Dr. Prescott strategically placing incisions to achieve optimal results while minimizing visible scarring.
The Recovery Process
Recovery from your mommy makeover requires patience and adherence to Dr. Prescott’s detailed post-operative instructions. You’ll initially experience some swelling and discomfort, gradually subsiding over several weeks.
Most patients take two to four weeks off work, avoiding strenuous activities and heavy lifting during this crucial healing period. Dr. Prescott and her experienced team provide comprehensive support throughout your recovery, monitoring your progress and addressing any concerns.
