What Is a Mommy Makeover?

Mommy makeover is a collective term for a combination of breast and body rejuvenation procedures designed to enhance a woman’s figure. While these procedures primarily aim to reverse some of the unwanted effects of pregnancy and breastfeeding, you do not have to be a mother to seek this transformative surgery. Ideally, you would not get your mommy makeover until after you are finished with childbearing and breastfeeding to ensure your results’ longevity. However, Dr. Lofman believes you deserve to feel confident and will develop the perfect mommy makeover plan for you, no matter what stage of life you’re in.

What Can I Expect During a Mommy Makeover?

Since patient education is an essential element of our practice, Dr. Lofman will inform you about all the steps involved in your mommy makeover procedure to ensure a comfortable experience from consultation to post-op. While each mommy makeover patient will have a unique experience, here are some general steps you can expect.

Before Surgery

Plan to arrive at the hospital or surgery center an hour beforehand. After our team checks you in, Dr. Lofman will ensure you are comfortable, answer any last-minute questions, review crucial details, and make surgical markings. After you are safely under sedation as detailed by your procedural plan, Dr. Lofman will begin your Oakland County mommy makeover procedure. 

During Surgery

Depending on your anatomy and the specific plan developed during your consultation, Dr. Lofman will perform your mommy makeover to address your individual needs. Your mommy makeover surgery can last from two to six hours, depending on which procedures you opt to combine.

Recovery

Dr. Lofman performs mommy makeovers on an outpatient basis. You’ll need someone to drive you home and stay with you for the first few days or weeks to assist you. Daily tasks might seem more challenging, especially if you have small children. Dr. Lofman may write you a prescription for pain medication. 

When Will I See My Mommy Makeover Results?

Most patients notice immediate improvements to their overall appearance following a mommy makeover. However, women also experience bruising and swelling that temporarily obscures their true results. Swelling will decrease over the next four to six weeks, and residual swelling may take six months to fully resolve. After your Michigan mommy makeover surgery, you can experience long-lasting results by maintaining a stable weight with a healthy diet and exercise routine.
