What Should I Expect From a Mommy Makeover Consultation?

3 Minute Read:

Many moms wish to restore their pre-baby body after childbearing (whether they have their children six months or 18 years ago).

When deciding to have a Mommy Makeover, you may be a bit nervous before your consultation. Just like any surgery, it is okay to feel some anxiety before the procedure, whether due to excitement over your anticipated new look or preoperative stress.

Learning what the surgery can realistically address and asking the right questions during your Mommy Makeover consultation can make all the difference. You want to undergo surgery feeling completely prepared for what is ahead and with sufficient peace of mind that everything will turn out okay.

What Happens During a Mommy Makeover Consultation?

Your Mommy Makeover consultation offers you the unique opportunity to gather information on every possible aspect related to the procedure.

From meeting the plastic surgery team for the first time to discussing your medical history and goals, including your treatment options, recovery, and the cost and financing options for the procedure, you can expect to learn a lot.

We often suggest bringing a notepad with you to jot down any important bits of information. This will help you retain all the knowledge you receive during your consultation.

Health Assessment

Patients should come prepared to discuss their general health status and any relevant medical conditions or risk factors they may have.

Discuss Your Goals for Surgery

What are some of the improvements you would like to see?

Your plastic surgeon will take the time to have a thorough conversation about your goals and plans after surgery while ensuring you have set realistic expectations of the procedure’s outcome.

Physical Examination

During your consultation with one of our experienced, board-certified plastic surgeons, a physical examination will be conducted to evaluate your concerns and determine which procedures are right for you, depending on your needs, physical characteristics, and cosmetic goals.

Mommy Makeover surgery combines many different plastic surgery techniques, including:

  • Breast augmentation surgery
  • Breast lift surgery
  • Liposuction fat reduction
  • Tummy tuck surgery

You will discuss these options — as well as other breast and body contouring techniques — during your consultation. This will allow your surgeon to design a customized treatment plan.

Mommy Makeover Q & A

You will also be given an opportunity to ask any questions you may have regarding your Mommy Makeover. Patients are advised to prepare a checklist of relevant questions to ask during the consultation.

Some of the most important areas to include in your checklist include:

  • Training and experience of your plastic surgeon
  • Surgical techniques to be used
  • How the procedure is performed
  • Recovery timeline
  • Risks and complications associated with the procedure
  • Before and after photos of previous procedures
  • Options to explore if dissatisfied with the procedure

Mommy Makeover Cost Estimates

At the conclusion of your consultation, you will receive detailed financial estimates based on the procedures that will be performed as part of your Mommy Makeover surgery. It is at this time that you will learn more about all of your possible financing options.

Once your consultation is complete, and you feel ready to proceed with the procedure, your surgery will be scheduled.
