404-778-6879info@zubowicz.comA Message from Dr. Zubowicz The purpose of aesthetic surgery is to help the patient gain condence by improving the way they feel about their appearance. My job, as a plastic surgeon, is to understand what specic physical features each patient wants to restore and then discuss the options available to create a realistic surgical plan. This also involves candid discussions about convalescence, possible complications, and biologic as well as nancial costs.Once both the patient and I feel the procedure is the right t to achieve the results the patient hopes for, we then proceed. My goal is always to do the highest quality work while clearly communicating with the patient about the realities of surgery.My hope is you feel both heard and cared for as you proceed with a mommy makeover. Please feel free to ask questions throughout the process. I prioritize patient understanding of all aspects of the surgery to ensure a positive experience. Thank you for your interest, and I look forward to helping you look and feel your best. Sincerely,Dr. Zubowicz
404-778-6879info@zubowicz.comWhat is a Mommy Makeover?A mommy makeover refers to any combination of operations designed to reverse the changes to the body directly related to pregnancy and nursing. An abdominoplasty, along with various other procedures, makes up the mommy makeover surgery. These procedures primarily include unwanted changes to the abdomen and breasts.The most common combination of requested procedures with a mommy makeover is an abdominoplasty and breast augmentation, with or without a breast lift. Liposuction is also often a part of the package.
404-778-6879info@zubowicz.comWhat Are the Common Procedures in a Mommy Makeover?A mommy makeover includes a customized combination of procedures completed during one surgery. Most women can successfully have multiple procedures completed at one time. Combining procedures means you get the overall results you want while only going through the recovery process once. In addition, combined procedures reduce the cost when compared to multiple, separate surgeries.Tummy TuckAn abdominoplasty is a medical term for a tummy tuck. This procedure addresses three potential problems with the abdominal area usually seen in women after pregnancy and childbirth.The three main objectives with a tummy tuck include the removal of excess skin, the removal of excess fat, and the tightening of a lax abdominal wall. A tummy tuck is the main surgical element of a mommy makeover and requires the most recovery.
404-778-6879info@zubowicz.comLiposuctionLiposuction works to slim specic areas of the body by removing excess fat. The contours of the body become more dened as fat volume reduces. Liposuction works best for patients at a stable weight that wish to target specic areas of excess fat. The best results usually occur with smaller or more athletic patients.Liposuction is available for almost all parts of the body, including abdomen, chest, calves, ankles, back, arms, thighs, hips, buttocks, face, and more. Liposuction does not work well for patients hoping to remove large volumes of fat with the intent of weight loss.Fat TransferFat transfer surgery removes unwanted fat from one area of the body and injects it in a different area for enhancement. Most patients that opt for fat transfer aim to achieve their aesthetic goals with natural-looking results. Fat transfer is ideal for patients that want the addition of subtle volume.
404-778-6879info@zubowicz.comFor areas of the body that require more volume, like the buttocks or hips, the patient needs more fat for the transfer to produce the best results. Fat transfer also works for breast augmentation.Breast AugmentationBreast augmentation is an operation that makes the breasts larger by inserting breast implants or using fat transfer. Most women select breast implants for breast enhancement. Breast lifts are another breast augmentation option.After pregnancy and nursing, many women experience a loss of volume in the breast. Therefore, many women include breast augmentation as part of a mommy makeover to correct sagging and increase fullness.
404-778-6879info@zubowicz.comWho Is a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?Any woman in reasonably good health who has experienced pregnancy and wants to restore their body should consider a mommy makeover. However, we do not recommend a mommy makeover for women who plan to have future pregnancies or are currently breastfeeding. Future pregnancies may undo the results achieved by the surgical procedures. However, a Mommy Makeover should not negatively impact future pregnancies if they occur after the surgery. We simply recommend waiting so that the aesthetic goals achieved through surgery provide lasting results.
404-778-6879info@zubowicz.comIs a Mommy Makeover Right for You?Do you want your body to look and feel more like it did before pregnancy? Do you want to feel condent and attractive during motherhood? If so, a mommy makeover is for you! Over the last decade, the procedures included in a mommy makeover, like the tummy tuck, have experienced advancements that improved the recovery process. Now, women can more easily achieve their aesthetic goals after pregnancy with less discomfort and downtime.No matter how much you diet or how hard you exercise, the physical impacts of pregnancy can last a lifetime. Thankfully, a mommy makeover offers a proven way to restore the impact of pregnancy and nursing to help women achieve their aesthetic goals. If you want to achieve results, a mommy makeover provides a solution.
404-778-6879info@zubowicz.comWhat Are the Costs of a Mommy Makeover?Unlike many other aesthetic procedures, it’s more difcult to provide a blanket cost for a mommy makeover. We customize each surgery to meet each patient’s specic goals. The cost varies based on the exact procedures included in the operation. For a starting price point, an uncomplicated abdominoplasty costs around $8,000. Adding additional procedures, like breast augmentation or liposuction, increases the cost. However, there is a cost-benet for combining procedures into a mommy makeover package. For example, the cost of the operating room and anesthesia become combined versus the separate cost incurred for individual surgeries.
404-778-6879info@zubowicz.comWhat is Mommy Makeover Recovery Like?Like with the costs, the recovery process varies based on the specic procedures includes in the mommy makeover. However, an abdominoplasty is a critical part of the mommy makeover and is a physiologically signicant operation. However, the surgery is much easier with a shorter recovery process than a decade ago. Patients can expect to experience swelling, bruising, and soreness post-surgery.
404-778-6879info@zubowicz.comTypically, patients can get up and move around almost immediately after surgery. Also, most patients can drive and perform non-strenuous activities within a week to two weeks of surgery. This includes returning to work if the patient’s job isn’t strenuous.The procedure is an invasive surgery requiring general anesthesia. Mommy makeover surgery is usually an outpatient procedure. Patients do need reliable transportation and at least 24 hours of care after the surgery.Patients cannot participate in strenuous exercise, including any exercises that target core or abdominal muscles, for six weeks after surgery. If a breast implant is part of the package, other recovery restrictions apply, including certain exercise guidelines. Failing to follow the recovery procedures could impact the results of the surgery and the patient’s health.Three months after surgery the patient should experience a full recovery with no activity restrictions regardless of the combination of procedures included.
