Mommy Makeover in Beverly Hills, CA

Ideal candidates for a Mommy Makeover are women who are non-smokers and in overall good health. Other criteria include women who:

• Are finished having kids
• Are at a stable weight and healthy BMI
• Can take appropriate time off to recover after surgery
• Have areas of their bodies that will benefit from one or more procedures

While a Mommy Makeover is a great way to achieve your aesthetic goals, ideal candidates should also have realistic expectations for their results.

Besides achieving your desired aesthetic results, a Mommy Makeover offers several other benefits. Undergoing multiple procedures simultaneously will reduce your overall recovery time, as you will only need to adjust your schedule once instead of numerous times if you undergo each procedure separately. Additionally, while a Mommy Makeover may initially seem more expensive, it can save you money in the long run because you will only pay once for the hospital or surgical facility, medical staff, and anesthesia fees instead of several times for each procedure.

If you’re considering a Mommy Makeover, you should wait at least six months after giving birth and after you have stopped breastfeeding. You want to give your body a chance to heal from the stress of pregnancy and childbirth before putting it through surgery. You will also have more time to lose the weight you want before surgery. For breastfeeding moms, you will want to ensure your body has completely stopped producing milk.

Allowing your body time to stabilize after pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding will also enable Dr. Hadeed to conduct a more accurate assessment of your body to ensure the results you desire.

As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks associated with a Mommy Makeover. Some risks include the following:

• Anesthesia risks
• Bleeding
• Infection
• Changes in skin sensation
• Fluid buildup
• Poor wound healing
• Capsular contracture (for breast augmentation patients)

If you experience any unusual symptoms during your recovery from your Mommy Makeover, contact Dr. Hadeed immediately.

Preparing for your Mommy Makeover includes following Dr. Hadeed’s preoperative instructions and ensuring you are set up for recovery. You will need to discontinue nicotine use at least two weeks before surgery and for at least two weeks after, as nicotine interferes with anesthesia and the healing process. You will also need to stop taking blood-thinning medications, including over-the-counter and herbal supplements.

Each Mommy Makeover is different. Depending on the patient’s needs and aesthetic goals, the procedure can be performed in a single surgery or in stages. The timing of the surgery also depends on the procedures chosen as part of the Mommy Makeover. A breast or stomach procedure will have to be performed at a different time than a Brazilian Butt Lift because recovery requires the patient to keep weight off of the treatment area as it heals. Dr. Hadeed customizes each Mommy Makeover treatment plan and works with his patients to build a timeline that offers the best results in a way that works with their lifestyle.

Resting after a Mommy Makeover is essential, and you should make sure you’re fully prepared before you go in for surgery. You must have a responsible adult drive you home after surgery and, ideally, stay with you for the first 24–48 hours. Fill out necessary prescriptions beforehand, and ensure you have everything you need in your recovery space. This includes pillows for propping you up, blankets, medications, water, and things like your phone charger and TV remote. You won’t be able to drive for 1–2 weeks, so you will need to arrange transportation for your children and grocery delivery.

The results of a Mommy Makeover are considered permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight through a healthy diet and exercise. The natural aging process will continue, and you will most likely experience some of the effects that come with a loss of collagen and elasticity in the skin. However, you will undoubtedly enjoy your newfound confidence in your body for years to come.

You will experience some mild pain or discomfort after your Mommy Makeover procedure, but this will subside over time and can be easily managed with over-the-counter or prescription pain medication.

Mommy Makeover surgery will result in some scarring, but most scars are easily hidden with clothing. Your scars will diminish over time, and protecting them from the sun will help them to fade. Once your incisions have fully healed, applying silicone strips and scar gel or lotion can help minimize the visibility of scars. For women who underwent a C-section that resulted in an unsightly scar, a Mommy Makeover can help reduce the size of the scar on your lower abdomen.

The cost of Mommy Makeover surgery in Beverly Hills, CA, will vary based on multiple factors, including the combination of procedures you choose, the techniques used, anesthesia, facility fees, and surgical fees.
