Frequently Asked Questions

It is generally recommended to wait at least six months to one year after childbirth and after you have finished breastfeeding before considering a Mommy Makeover. This allows your body to fully recover from pregnancy and stabilize your weight, which helps optimize the surgical results and your overall healing process.

Yes, a Mommy Makeover is a surgical procedure, and as such, it will result in scars. The location and extent of the scars will depend on the specific procedures performed. However, efforts are made to place incisions in discreet areas whenever possible, and scar management techniques can help improve their appearance over time.

While it is physically possible to have more children after a Mommy Makeover, it is generally not recommended. Subsequent pregnancies can stretch the abdominal muscles and skin again, potentially reversing the results of the tummy tuck, and may also affect the breast work. For this reason, candidates are typically advised to have completed their family planning before undergoing a Mommy Makeover.

While stretch marks on excised skin can be removed, those outside the surgical sites will remain, but may appear less noticeable due to skin tightening.
