Hormones, genetics, age, number of pregnancies and childbirths … the list really can go on and on for the reasons the female body is put through trauma, stress and change. Dissatisfaction with appearance and lack of confidence leave many women desiring the solution known as a mommy makeover. Originally, a tummy tuck procedure was considered the ultimate mommy makeover but with advances in skill and technology, going under the knife just once but receiving multiple procedures is now considered a true mommy makeover. Surgeons have the capabilities to provide multiple transformations in just hours.
Given the options available, the length of time for a mommy makeover can vary. Surgery choices include tummy tuck, liposuction, breast lift, breast augmentation, thigh lift, arm lift, butt lift, vaginal rejuvenation or labiaplasty, and numerous facial procedures including an eye lift or dermal fillers. How long does a mommy makeover take? If you are opting for a traditional mommy makeover of a tummy tuck only, you can anticipate the surgery taking about 2 and half hours to perform. This time does not account for surgery prep, including the administering of anesthesia or post-operative care.
Most surgeons prefer not to keep patients on the surgical table under general anesthesia any longer than 6 hours. To optimize the time that you spend in the operating room, consider which procedures are most beneficial to you that provide the feminine contour and shape you long for that can also be performed in the allotted time. Safety is essential so that after the procedure you can enjoy the benefits of the newly enhanced you. Most mommy makeover procedures are major surgery and will require at least six weeks of recovery and rest.
Perky breasts, flattened tummy and collagen boosts are wonderful options to restore youthfulness to your post-pregnancy shape.
