Frequently Asked Questions

A woman in overall good health who has completed her childbearing is an ideal candidate. Candidates must be non-smokers with good skin elasticity who are looking to restore breasts and abdomen to pre-pregnancy condition.

Like any surgical procedure, you must be in general good health before considering this plastic surgery. If you are a smoker, significantly overweight, have certain medical conditions, or take medications that interfere with circulation or healing, the mommy makeover may not be right for you now.

Because mommy makeovers employ a combination of liposuction, breast lift, and tummy tuck solutions, it may be helpful to visit each page to learn the specific potential risks associated with each procedure. Risks will vary based on the recommended procedures included in your transformation. Dr. Rieger will thoroughly review your health, lifestyle, and risk to determine your candidacy and options.

Following surgery, you can expect swelling, bruising, pain, and discomfort that can be managed with rest and medication. It is recommended that patients wear a compression garment as directed by Dr. Rieger. Many patients can resume work and light exercise in approximately two weeks. The best results can take up to six months to settle into their natural look.

It is recommended that childbearing be completed before undergoing a mommy makeover. Pregnancy can have an unpredictable impact on your results or may undo the benefits. Abdominal skin may stretch and have increased laxity. If more children are planned soon, waiting, particularly on the abdominoplasty, is recommended. Additional pregnancies are possible; however, the final result may not be as good if the tissues are stretched again with another pregnancy.

In many cases, breastfeeding is still possible, though interference with the ability to do so is a potential complication of a mommy makeover breast lift.

The extent of scarring will vary with the amount of skin removed and the surgical technique used. Typically, scarring follows the bikini line, extending from hip to hip above the pubic region, and is easily concealed with clothing. Scarring is permanent, but in most cases, it tends to fade in months. During the initial weeks of recovery, following all post-surgical advice is essential, such as maintaining good health and nutrition, using caution with exposure of scars to sunlight, and avoiding activity that will strain the incision.

Some individuals are prone to red and raised scarring (keloid) or dark in color (hypertrophic).

As is the case with many plastic surgery procedures, it is essential to maintain good nutrition and exercise habits to help preserve your improved figure following a mommy makeover. The expectation is that results will last for many years, though several factors may contribute to the duration of optimal results. Weight gain or subsequent pregnancies can damage the results of a mommy makeover. Aging and gravity can lead to deteriorating skin elasticity over time.
