Mommy Makeover
Motherhood is an amazing experience; after your first child, you know you'll never be the same again. Unfortunately, it may feel like your body will never be the same either—the loose abdominal muscles and stretch marks, the drooping breasts, the pockets of fat around your hips. Thankfully, through a combination of Newport Beach area plastic surgery procedures such as breast augmentation, tummy tuck and liposuction, Dr. Smith can perform a mommy makeover to transform your look and give you new confidence about your appearance.
If you are considering Irvine, Riverside or Newport Beach plastic surgery, the best way to learn about your mommy makeover options is to request a complimentary surgical consultation with Dr. Smith. Call our Irvine plastic surgery office at 949.450.2755 or our Corona office at 951.734.2500, or you can conveniently send us an email with your questions about the mommy makeover procedure.
Candidates for Mommy Makeover
Most women who choose mommy makeovers are mothers in their 20s, 30s or 40s who would like to restore their pre-pregnancy appearance. Moms appreciate that the mommy makeover procedure can be tailored to their exact needs. Because of the effects of pregnancy on the abdomen area, most mommy makeovers in Newport Beach include tummy tuck to tighten stretched muscles and restore a slimmer stomach appearance. The other procedures combined with Newport Beach tummy tuck will depend on your surgical goals.
As with any of the procedures Dr. Smith performs, good candidates for a mommy makeover must be healthy and have a realistic understanding of what cosmetic surgery can achieve. Discuss your medical history with Dr. Smith so he can make sure the procedures that interest you can be performed safely with minimal risk of complications.
Your Mommy Makeover Options
In addition to their Newport Beach tummy tuck, many patients choose to complete their makeover by adding other plastic surgery procedures, such as:
- Liposuction to remove unwanted fat deposits
- Breast surgery such as breast lift or breast augmentation
- Body lift or thigh lift to help restore mid-body appearance
- Facial rejuvenation procedures such as eyelid lift
At your consultation, Dr. Smith is happy to discuss your personal goals and recommend a makeover plan based on your physical examination. Whether your main concerns are your body, breasts, or face, Dr. Smith will recommend procedures that can help you feel younger and more confident about your appearance.
Recovery after Newport Beach Area Plastic Surgery
Because each mommy makeover procedure is tailored for each individual patient's needs, Dr. Smith will be able to tell you much more about the recovery process once you have decided on which procedures are right for you. In general, the more dramatic your transformation, the longer your recovery period will be. Dr. Smith can provide medication to minimize discomfort, but you will still need to get plenty of rest and limit strenuous activities for several weeks in most cases.
Your Newport Beach tummy tuck, breast augmentation, or other mommy makeover procedure can help you achieve the look you've always wanted. For optimal results, follow Dr. Smith's pre- and post-operative instructions carefully. For instance, Dr. Smith's Huntington Beach, Riverside and Newport Beach breast augmentation patients must take proper care of their dressings and incisions and wear a surgical support bra for several weeks to help the breasts settle in to their new shape.
Complications
The risks associated with your mommy makeover will depend on which procedures you have performed. After plastic surgery near Newport Beach with Dr. Smith, most patients experience some level of swelling, bruising, bleeding, and discomfort. Dr. Smith makes every effort to reduce discomfort, and he minimizes scar appearance by hiding incisions when possible. If you're concerned about a particular risk, talk with Dr. Smith in more detail.
