Description a Mommy Makeover Procedure:
- A mommy makeover is an outpatient procedure done under anesthesia in our state-of-the-art, accredited surgical center.
- When appropriate, the breasts are augmented with the latest implants or the most innovative lifts to create a rounded, plump, youthful shape. Often a combination of the two procedures will be performed.
- You may not require breast augmentation if you simply want to return your breasts to a more youthful position on the chest. If your breasts have a deflated, flat look, breast implants may be required to achieve the look you want.
- There are two types of breast implants: saline and silicone. Each type of implant has advantages, and Dr. Egrari can help you choose the most appropriate size and shape to create balance, harmony, and a youthful, firm look to your breasts.
- The abdomen can be dramatically affected after the growing and stretching to accommodate a growing baby. A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, tightens the skin and abdominal muscle structure, while reducing the number of stretch marks to restore a flat, more attractive appearance.
- Innovative Abdominoplasties — such as the mini, floating, full or extensive designs — are selected and performed for a low-cut scar, a sensual belly button and a tighter abdomen.
- Liposuction is often used to create a harmony of shape and a more pleasing body contour. This can enhance the look of breast restoration and a tummy tuck through removing stubborn fat from “love handles,” stomach, legs, or arms.
- All incisions for your Bellevue mommy makeover cosmetic surgeries are placed in discreet locations whenever possible to reduce any visible scarring. Any scars can typically be hidden by revealing clothing or a swimming suit.
- Dr. Egrari uses the most advanced, least-invasive surgical techniques whenever possible, as well as state-of-the-art technology – and you gain the benefit.
Recovery After a Mommy Makeover:
- Mommy makeover patients go home in compression garments and are given significant aftercare instruction to aid in a rapid recovery. The garments will help your body settle into shape, while facilitating the healing process.
- Drains may be used to help care for your incisions. Side effects are manageable with pain medication, and will diminish as the days pass, while you rest and heal. Exparel, a long-acting numbing medicine is used in the operating room to relieve the initial discomfort.
- All sutures are dissolvable. Significant attention is paid to post-operative treatment of scars for the optimal baseline of a fine scar.
- Most patients take two weeks off work and refrain from intense exercise for 4 weeks. Dr. Egrari will monitor your recovery and let you know when it is safe to resume more strenuous activities.
- Final results of a mommy makeover become more evident after a month, and you can begin to fully enjoy your restored, youthful figure.
More Information on a Mommy Makeover:
- Liposuction may be an additional procedure to enhance the results of your mommy makeover in Bellevue surgery, used to improve and slim the contour of thighs, flanks and back.
- Occasionally the amount of excess skin might require a circumferential approach — a lower body lift.
- Some patients may require a breast reduction procedure.
- Post-operative application of advanced scar treatment gels is a mainstay in our surgical procedures.
