Is a Mommy Makeover painful?

Pain levels can vary from patient to patient, but it is normal to experience some discomfort following a Mommy Makeover procedure. Dr. Papanicolaou will prescribe some temporary pain medications to alleviate any symptoms. We will also provide you with some instructions on how to make your healing experience more comfortable.

How many appointments will I need?

The number of appointments required for a Mommy Makeover can vary depending on the specific procedures included in your treatment plan. In most cases, a Mommy Makeover involves multiple procedures performed in a single surgical session. This helps minimize downtime and achieve comprehensive results. In general, Dr. Papanicolaou would like to see you one week after your procedure and then again during the two-week initial recovery period. However, the exact number of appointments required will depend on the complexity of your case.

How long until I see results?

It is important to be patient through recovery and understand that in the first few weeks, bruising and swelling might hide the results of the procedure. For instance, if you had any body contouring, it might take a few weeks to a few months to see the finished results, and if you received any augmentations, it would take a few months for your altered body area to settle into its resting position. Most Orlando patients should expect it to be several months before they will look their best post-surgery, however, each patient can have a different timeline. Dr. Papanicolaou will always let you know how he feels you are doing with your recovery process.

Can I combine my Mommy Makeover with other procedures?

Absolutely! However, a Mommy Makeover is already a combination of several different body contouring procedures, which can consist of a Tummy Tuck , Breast Lift , Breast Augmentation , or even non-surgical treatments such as BOTOX or Dermal Fillers . For the most optimum results, if you would like to hear Dr. Papanicolaou’s expert suggestions for a specific procedure that you feel could be a good fit, we encourage you to raise your ideas and concerns during the consultation.

What are the risks associated with a Mommy Makeover?

Dr. Papanicolaou at Soma Plastic Surgery in Lake Mary has an impeccable record of performing safe Mommy Makeovers. However, given that these usually consist of multiple surgical procedures, there are of course potential risks and side effects that you should be aware of. These can include, but are not limited to: Anesthesia risks Asymmetry Blood clots Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) Breast implant illness (BII) Capsular contracture Contour deformity Fat embolization Fat necrosis Hematoma Implant leak Inability to breastfeed Infection Loss of nipple sensation Persistent pain Poor healing of incisions Recurrent looseness of skin Seroma Unfavorable scarring Breast implant illness (BII) Patient safety is of the utmost priority for Dr. Papanicolaou.

What’s the First Step?

The first step in the Mommy Makeover process is to schedule a consultation with Dr. George Papanicolaou. During this consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss your concerns, goals, and desired outcomes of your Mommy Makeover. He will evaluate your overall health, assess the specific areas of your body affected by pregnancy and childbirth, and discuss the various surgical options available to address your unique needs coupled with the limitations and risks posed by these options.

Once you have all the necessary information, you can make an informed decision about proceeding with the Mommy Makeover. If you decide to move forward, our team will work closely to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns and goals. Dr. Papanicolaou will give you pre-surgery instructions on diet, medications, and guidance on alcohol use and smoking among other health-related decisions. Please pay close attention to these in the weeks leading up to your procedure.

What to Expect on the Day of Mommy Makeover Surgery

Mommy Makeover Orlando patients will all undergo varying experiences on the day of surgery based on the number and type of procedures they have chosen. Dr. Papanicolaou uses intravenous sedation to ensure a comfortable and painless surgical experience. The specific kind of anesthesia will have been mutually decided upon by you and Dr. Papanicolaou during your consultation. It may range from local anesthesia combined with sedation to general anesthesia, keeping you asleep throughout the surgery.

The nature of your Mommy Makeover will determine what you can expect during the surgery. Below, we’ve outlined some of the more common procedures:

Arm Lift
Breast Augmentation
Breast Lift
Breast Reduction
Labiaplasty
Liposuction
Thigh Lift
Tummy Tuck

Please refer to the individual procedure pages for more information on the specific procedure.

Mommy Makeover Recovery

After your Mommy Makeover surgery, Dr. Papanicolaou will have his staff keep an eye on you until he feels you are free to go. Since you will still have the effects of sedation, we recommend you have someone available to drive you home, as you may feel a bit groggy and sore after the procedure. It’s also beneficial to have a helper available to assist with any basic tasks and avoid putting any strain on the incisions or treatment area.

Dr. Papanicolaou will prescribe pain medication to minimize discomfort during recovery. Your recovery period will vary from patient to patient and will be detailed during your consultation. As you recover, it is essential to attend follow-up appointments so we can monitor your progress and address any concerns or questions you may have.

By adhering to the recommended recovery plan and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, you can expect to see gradual improvements in your body’s contour and enjoy the long-lasting benefits of your Mommy Makeover.
