A One-Stop Solution

What is a Mommy Makeover?

Mommy Makeovers are multiple procedures done at once that reverse the adverse effects of post-childbirth. Giving birth can cause loose, flabby stomach skin, weight gain, sagging breasts, overly enlarged breasts, and the tearing or enlargement of the labia minora. Mommy Makeover procedures differ for each patient’s needs. Procedures can include:

Breast augmentation
Breast Lift
Breast Reduction
Liposuction
Tummy Tuck
And Labiaplasty

Most patients are able to get two or three of these procedures done at once, making it the Mommy Makeover. Dr. Santosa can help you determine the best course of action for your Mommy Makeover during your consultation.

Reversing and Restoring

What can a Mommy Makeover do?

Mommy Makeovers can restore youth and bring life back to parts of the body that have been made less flattering after childbirth. Candidates for Mommy Makeovers include individuals who have had children and suffered from unflattering effects on the body, including drastic changes to the breasts, stomach, and labia minora. In addition, you should be in good health with no underlying medical conditions that could cause complications during or after your procedure. Good candidates are also not planning on having more children after their Mommy Makeover, as having another child can reverse the results of the Mommy Makeover. Even though Mommy Makeovers are aimed at mothers, you should not get one while pregnant. You are advised to wait until after you are completely healed from birth before you decide to get a Mommy Makeover. This ensures that you are healthy and your body is in stable condition to undergo another procedure.

So Many Options

Mommy Makeover Preparation

Before your procedure, Dr. Santosa will talk you through what to expect. Then, you will be administered a general anesthetic. After you are under, Dr. Santosa will clean the incision areas thoroughly to prevent chances of infection. She will then make incisions, perform the procedure, and close the incisions. You will then be woken up and taken to recovery.

You Deserve to Look Good

Mommy Makeover Recovery, Results, and Aftercare

Mommy Makeover recovery varies for everyone. Generally, you can expect some bruising and swelling near the incision sites for the first week after your procedure. Full results for most of our Atlanta mommy makeover operations appear anywhere from three to six months.

Maintaining Your Mommy Makeover Results

Dr. Santosa will never leave you to fend for yourself during recovery. She will help you set up a follow-up appointment within twenty-four hours of your procedure to ensure everything goes smoothly. She will be sure to give you contact information to get in touch with herself or her team if you have any questions or concerns. Dr. Santosa may also provide you with supplements to help speed up the healing of bruises.

Mommy Makeover Frequently Asked Questions

Does a Mommy Makeover leave scars?

Unfortunately, many procedures done on the stomach and breasts will leave scars. These scars will fade heavily and lose visibility over time, but they will likely be permanent. However, there are laser treatments and other cosmetic treatments that can aid in the reduction of scars after they are fully healed.

Will it hurt?

While recovery for some procedures included in the Mommy Makeover may be slightly uncomfortable, the procedures should not cause any pain. Under general anesthetics, you will not feel anything during your procedures.

What are the risks?

Since you can get so many different procedure combinations with a Mommy Makeover, it is difficult to provide an accurate list of specific risks you may encounter. However, general procedure risks include bleeding, heavy scarring, infection, hematoma, blood clot, nerve damage, and asymmetry. As advised by Dr. Santosa, most of these risks can be prevented through proper post-procedure care. Dr. Santosa will be able to provide more information during your consultation about risks that are specific to your procedure.

How much does it cost?

On average, Mommy Makeovers cost around $12,800. This cost can vary drastically, as Mommy Makeovers include different procedures for every patient. Mommy Makeovers are not covered by insurance. Dr. Santosa’s team will go over pricing, payment, and financing with you during your consultation.

Do I need to have someone drive me home because of anesthesia?

Yes, you will need to make arrangements to be driven home. It is also recommended to have someone help you get up and around for the first five to seven days post-surgery.
