Mommy Makeover Preparation

The mommy makeover is one of the most extensive procedures performed in cosmetic surgery. For this reason, preparing for surgery in every possible way will not only improve your result, but the quality of the experience as well. It’s important to prepare physically, medically, and mentally for this procedure. 

It’s important to be in good physical condition before proceeding with this procedure. Ideally, results are best when patients are within ten percent of their ideal body weight. Although some patients are unable to reach this goal, they still benefit from the procedure. In addition, it’s also important to maintain good nutrition, exercise regularly, and maintain a healthy life style.

It’s also important to be medically ready for the mommy makeover. Patients should be extensively evaluated to rule out other medical conditions. Areas of particular concern include cigarette smoking, blood pressure management, and the patient’s baseline hemoglobin.

Mental preparation for the mommy makeover is also extremely important and helps lower anxiety levels before surgery. It’s important that you have a comfort level with your anesthesiologist, surgeon, and the surgical facility. It’s essential that all your questions be answered so there are no surprises. 

Arrangements for post-operative care also need to be in order. It’s important to have a care giver not only for yourself, but your children as well. Addressing as many of these issues as possible before surgery will significantly improve results and the quality of experience.
