Mommy Makeover

What is a mommy makeover?

A mommy makeover is a comprehensive surgical option that allows you to customize your care with multiple cosmetic surgeries. Dr. Ingram helps you choose the procedures you’re most interested in to restore your body to your prepregnancy appearance. 

Dr. Ingram plans your surgeries strategically to minimize your time in healing and recovery. You might undergo multiple surgeries in the same session while you’re under anesthesia. The main goal of these surgeries is to get rid of extra skin and fat, or redistribute extra fat, after pregnancy and childbirth change your body. 

Who can benefit from a mommy makeover?

Mommy makeovers are an excellent choice for you if you’re unhappy with some of the ways your body has changed after pregnancy. You might also notice changes due to other life events such as:

• Breastfeeding
• Aging
• Major weight loss
• Menopause

Mommy makeovers address physical changes to your body that happen over time. They’re especially popular for women who have gone through their final pregnancy and want to enjoy a more youthful figure. 

When is the right time to have a Mommy Makeover?

The timing can vary depending on individual circumstances. Generally, it's recommended to wait until you're finished having children and breastfeeding. It's also important to be at or near your ideal weight before undergoing a Mommy Makeover.

Which surgeries can I get in my mommy makeover?

Ingram Cosmetic Surgery offers many cosmetic procedures for your custom mommy makeover to give you your preferred body shape. You can add:

Breast surgery

Breast surgery can increase or decrease your breast sizes, make your breasts more symmetrical, or elevate them higher on your chest. 

Tummy tuck

A tummy tuck gets rid of extra fat and sagging skin around your abdomen, which is common after childbirth or significant weight loss. 

Liposuction

Liposuction is a fat-removal surgery that uses vacuum suction to remove targeted fat cells. It’s a surgery on its own, but is also often a crucial part of tummy tucks and the Brazilian butt lift. 

Brazilian butt lift (BBL)

BBL surgery increases the size and enhances the shape of your buttocks by transferring fat into them from somewhere else on your body. 

What is the recovery time after a Mommy Makeover?

The recovery period can vary based on the procedures performed. On average, most women can return to non-strenuous activities within two to three weeks. Full recovery and resumption of strenuous activities, including heavy lifting and vigorous exercise, can take six weeks or longer.

Will the results of a Mommy Makeover last?

Yes, the results of a Mommy Makeover are intended to be long-lasting. However, significant weight fluctuations and additional pregnancies can impact the longevity of the results.

What are the potential risks and complications of a Mommy Makeover?

As with any surgery, there are potential risks, including infection, bleeding, scarring, and reactions to anesthesia. Specific procedures have their unique risks. Your surgeon will discuss these in detail during your consultation.

Will my insurance cover a Mommy Makeover?

Most insurance companies consider a Mommy Makeover to be a cosmetic procedure and, as such, it is typically not covered. However, certain procedures may be covered if they are deemed medically necessary. You should contact your insurance provider for specific information.

How can I prepare for a Mommy Makeover?

Preparing for a Mommy Makeover involves maintaining a healthy lifestyle, avoiding certain medications and supplements, and arranging for help during your recovery period. Your surgeon will provide detailed instructions based on your individual case.

Will I have scars after a Mommy Makeover?

Yes, scarring is a natural part of the healing process following any surgical procedure. However, an experienced surgeon like Dr. Alton Ingram will use advanced techniques to minimize and strategically place the incisions to ensure that the scars are as inconspicuous as possible.
