| Dr. Christian Prada is a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Here the Doctor has answered some of the common questions bizymoms visitors have about Mommy Makeover.
Q. What is a Mommy Makeover?
A. Typically, breast Augmentation, breast Lift, tummy tuck and liposuction. However we customize our mommy make-over for each individual.
Q. Who is a good candidate for Mommy Makeover?
A. Any woman that wants to repair the damage from pregnancy and is in good health.
Q. What are the important facts about the safety and risks of the Mommy Makeover?
A. With every surgery there are general surgery risks. However, the most important thing I make sure of with this surgery, is that the patient does not smoke. With a tummy tuck and/or breast lift we remove a lot of tissue, that tissue will not heal correctly if a patient smokes.
Q. What happens during the Mommy Makeover surgery?
A. With a tummy tuck we repair the stomach muscles that have been stretched out from pregnancy and then remove the extra skin (which typically remove a lot of stretch marks too). This procedure will give you the abs you've always wanted! A million hours of sit-ups will not give you the stomach you want like what I can give you in just 3 hours of surgery.
A Breast lift will lift the breast making them more perky. Adding an implant will add volume to the breast which gives the nicest fullness most women want when they wear a swimsuit or something low cut.
Q. What are the Options for the Mommy Makeover?
A. The options are up to the mom!
Q. What is the recovery time for Mommy Makeover?
A. For a full tummy tuck, liposuction, breast lift and augmentation you are looking at 7-14 days for recovery.
Q. How much will the Mommy Makeover cost?
A. It starts around $8,000 and goes up.
