Who is an ideal candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
As the name suggests, the Mommy Makeover procedure is ideal for mothers who aren’t satisfied with the appearance of their bodies postpartum, even after putting themselves through strict diet and exercise regimens. As a result, the popularity of this procedure is highest among women in their 20s, 30s and 40s who are interested in correcting the changes that occurred in their bodies as a result of pregnancy or weight loss.
In addition, an ideal candidate for a Mommy Makeover should possess a clean bill of health coupled with expectations which are steadily grounded in reality. However, once the procedure is done, Mommy Makeover patients are often surprised by the way they look and feel.
Further, ideal candidates for a Mommy Makeover should be somewhat close to their ideal body weight. For patients who are significantly over their ideal body weight, most surgeons advise them to follow an exercise and diet regimen prior to opting to undergo surgery.
Recovery
The recovery period following a Mommy Makeover procedure largely depends on the intensity of the work done. If, for example, a particular Mommy Makeover procedure consists of a breast lift and liposuction, then the recovery would normally be very quick. Such patients will be able to get back to work or other normal activities in less than a week. On the other hand, if a particular Mommy Makeover consisted of more significant makeovers like tummy tucks, then the recovery will take a little longer. Such patients will have to engage in limited activities for at least three to four weeks and cannot engage in strenuous activities for about six weeks.
Risks
In general, the risks of surgical procedures tend to increase with the number and severity of procedures performed. However, undergoing two or three procedures at one time is generally less risky than undergoing the same amount separately. In this situation, it is important for the surgeon to evaluate the patient to determine their ability to undergo multiple procedures at one time.
