Mommy Makeover in Melbourne, FL

Why a Mommy Makeover?

Plastic surgery is often the only way to restore your body to its youthful shape.

There’s no doubt that pregnancy is a blessing and a wonderful process, but it is definitely hard on your body. The muscle and skin tissues expand to accommodate the baby, especially in areas like the abdomen, hips, and breasts. The breasts lose volume and firmness as they shrink back down to their original size. Although diet and exercise may help you lose post-pregnancy weight, plastic surgery is often the only way to restore a tight, shapely figure.

The Mommy Makeover at Clevens Face and Body Specialists blends unique plastic surgical techniques—often breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, and Liponique Body Contouring—tailored to your goals. Some patients even choose to add an arm lift or thigh lift, too. Your procedure is customized to meet your wishes and needs.

Mommy Makeover Benefits

With a Mommy Makeover, patients can enjoy the benefits of multiple procedures all at once. 

Since your Mommy Makeover is customized to your needs, you can realize numerous benefits in one procedure, allowing you to minimize downtime and address all your areas of concern for optimal results.

For many patients, that means adding lift and restoring fullness and volume with a breast augmentation and breast lift, as well as tightening up the abdomen and firming up stomach muscles with a tummy tuck. A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) can significantly enhance your silhouette for a more stabilized and firm abdominal wall. You may also add Liponique, the Clevens Face and Body Specialists signature approach to liposuction that safely removes excess fat deposits and, in turn, reveals beautiful body contours. Arm and thigh lifts can help you further tighten up your body and remove loose, sagging skin to reveal tone and muscle. Talk with the breast and body plastic surgery specialists at Clevens Face and Body Specialists about your goals to see what a Mommy Makeover can help you achieve.

Each procedure is carefully tailored to meet the patient’s specific needs, whether their goals are large or small. While a Mommy Makeover will focus on a set of enhancements, our board-certified, experienced plastic surgery specialists can optimize the ability to target specific areas for more emphasized correction. For example, if a breast augmentation and lift were decided on during a Mommy Makeover consultation, the many different implants will be discussed thoroughly and accurately to ensure each aspect of your Mommy Makeover is carefully personalized to restore the most critical aspects of your appearance for a more youthful you.

Mommy Makeover Recovery

Begin recovery the same day as your procedure. 

The Mommy Makeover is an outpatient procedure; therefore, you can return home immediately after surgery to start your recovery. The entire recovery process will take 10 days to six weeks, depending on the treatments you choose. Clevens Face and Body Specialists offers a groundbreaking local pain medicine, EXPAREL®, used while you’re still asleep during your procedure, to aid in the most comfortable recovery possible. EXPAREL® minimizes post-surgery pain and reduces the need for any narcotic pain medications and nausea they cause. Learn more about EXPAREL®. 

EXPAREL® is often combined with TXA (tranexamic acid) and your body’s own natural healing cells to reduce bruising, minimize pain, and speed healing. Ask your doctor at Clevens Face and Body Specialists if this might be right for you to get back to your daily routine more quickly. 

Most patients return to work about 10 to 14 days after surgery, though we recommend waiting six weeks before resuming heavy exercise and consulting your doctor on the length of time best suited for your health. 

Your board certified plastic surgery specialist at Clevens Face and Body Specialists  may suggest that additional tips for fast and smooth recovery include having a proper rest area, arranging for childcare and other assistance, and cutting back on tobacco or alcohol to reduce inflammation. 

As your body fully heals over three to four months, you’ll see the benefits of your Mommy Makeover continue to reveal themselves. While having multiple procedures done in a single surgery may seem overwhelming, most patients experience reduced recovery times in comparison to getting different procedures completed one after the other.
