FAQs
A mommy makeover is a customized combination of plastic surgery procedures designed to restore a woman’s body after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Commonly included procedures are:
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to tighten abdominal muscles and remove excess skin
- Breast augmentation or lift to restore breast volume and shape
- Liposuction to remove stubborn fat deposits
- Intimate surgery (e.g., labiaplasty) for personal comfort and aesthetics
Recovery may take up to three weeks, during which:
- Patients must avoid physical activity and follow post-op instructions closely
- Adequate home support is recommended to aid a smooth and comfortable healing process
A mommy makeover is tailored to your specific goals and body, helping restore confidence and physical well-being.
There is no difference—"tummy tuck" is the common term for abdominoplasty, a surgical procedure designed to reshape and flatten the abdominal area. It removes excess skin and fat and tightens weakened abdominal muscles, especially following pregnancy or significant weight loss.
Types of Abdominoplasty Procedures
Depending on your anatomy and goals, your surgeon may recommend one of three main types:
- Mini Abdominoplasty – Focuses on excess skin and fat below the belly button; minimal muscle tightening.
- Classical (Full) Abdominoplasty – Involves tightening abdominal muscles and removing tissue around and below the navel; may include liposuction.
- Extended Abdominoplasty – Targets larger areas including the abdomen and flanks; often includes repositioning of the belly button.
Benefits of a Tummy Tuck
- Flattens and firms the stomach
- Restores core muscle tone
- Improves waistline definition
- Removes stretched or sagging skin
- Scars are typically discreet and fade over time
Recovery Timeline
- Recovery typically lasts 2–6 weeks, depending on your age, health, and lifestyle.
- Following all post-op instructions is key to optimal healing and long-term results.
- Many patients experience improved core strength and exercise performance post-surgery.
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a body contouring procedure that enhances the size and shape of the buttocks using your own body fat. Fat is harvested from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks through liposuction and then purified and re-injected into the buttocks to create a fuller, more sculpted appearance.
Benefits of a Brazilian Butt Lift
- Adds volume and shape to the buttocks and hips
- Improves overall body proportions
- Uses your own fat—no implants or synthetic fillers
- Minimally invasive with no large incisions or scarring
- Lower risk of rejection or complications since it's your own tissue
- Little to no downtime; many patients return to daily activities quickly
Things to Consider
- Results are typically visible after the first session, but multiple treatments may be needed to achieve your desired look.
- Not all transferred fat will survive, so some volume loss is expected in the first few months.
- Choosing a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon is critical for safety and long-lasting results.
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure used to enhance the size and shape of the breasts, typically using silicone or saline implants. It’s one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgeries, helping individuals improve body proportions and boost confidence.
How the Procedure Works
- Implants are inserted either under the breast tissue (subglandular) or beneath the chest muscles (submuscular)
- Surgery usually takes about one hour under general anesthesia
- Incisions are typically placed in discreet areas, such as under the breast fold or around the areola
Recovery and Post-Operative Care
- Mild discomfort, swelling, and temporary numbness are common after surgery
- A supportive bra is recommended for 2–4 weeks to reduce swelling and support healing
- Limited physical activity is advised to protect the implants and surgical site
- Sutures are generally removed within 7–14 days, depending on the surgeon’s guidance
- Full recovery can take several weeks, with most patients returning to normal routines in 1–2 weeks
Breast augmentation results are long-lasting and tailored to your body and aesthetic goals. Always consult a board-certified plastic surgeon to explore your options and determine the best implant type and placement for your unique anatomy.
Gynecomastia is a condition in men where the mammary glands enlarge, leading to the appearance of excess breast tissue. This may be caused by hormonal imbalances, genetics, or increased fat accumulation in the chest area.
Treatment Options for Gynecomastia
- Surgical correction is often recommended for moderate to severe cases
- Involves removal of glandular tissue and/or liposuction to contour the chest
- Typically requires wearing compression garments for about one month post-op to reduce swelling and support healing
- Hormone therapy may be considered for patients with hormone-related causes to regulate testosterone and estrogen levels
What to Expect
- Surgery is effective but not a guaranteed permanent solution; ongoing care may be needed
- Risks include scarring, infection, and wound healing issues, though these are minimized with proper post-operative care
- Most patients experience improved chest contour and increased confidence after treatment
If you're struggling with gynecomastia, consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon can help determine the best treatment path tailored to your condition.
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and enhance the appearance or function of the nose. It may be performed for cosmetic reasons or to correct breathing issues or nasal deformities.
What Can Rhinoplasty Address?
- Reshaping of nasal cartilage and bone
- Reducing the size of large nostrils
- Adjusting the angle between the nose and upper lip
- Correcting nasal asymmetry or bumps
- Improving nasal airflow for functional issues
Benefits of Rhinoplasty
- Enhances facial balance and proportions
- Improves self-confidence and social comfort
- Can relieve functional breathing problems in some patients
Recovery Process
- A rigid plaster bandage is applied for 7–10 days to support healing and protect the nasal structure
- Sutures may be used and are removed unless self-dissolving
- Swelling gradually subsides, revealing more refined nasal contours over several weeks
Rhinoplasty can have a transformative impact on both appearance and self-esteem. A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon can help determine if it's right for you.
Botox is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that uses botulinum toxin type A to temporarily relax facial muscles, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by expressions like smiling, frowning, or squinting. It offers a non-surgical way to achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Common Treatment Areas
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
- Frown lines (between the brows)
- Bunny lines (on the nose)
Benefits of Botox
- Non-invasive and quick, often called a “lunchtime treatment”
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Helps prevent the formation of new wrinkles with repeated use
- Boosts self-confidence and creates a refreshed appearance
What to Know Before Treatment
- Botox should only be administered by qualified medical professionals in a licensed facility
- Individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neurological conditions should not receive Botox
- Results typically last 3–4 months, with regular treatments enhancing long-term effects
Botox is a safe and effective solution when performed correctly—and a popular choice for those seeking subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation without surgery.
Cosmetic fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are injectable treatments used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Common filler materials include hyaluronic acid, collagen, and calcium hydroxyapatite.
What Can Fillers Treat?
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Deep facial folds (like nasolabial folds)
- Acne or surgical scars
- Thin or asymmetrical lips
- Hollow cheeks or under-eye volume loss
Benefits of Fillers
- Non-surgical with minimal downtime
- Immediate, natural-looking results
- Long-lasting (typically 6 to 12 months, depending on product and area)
- Can be combined with Botox or other procedures for enhanced results
- Low risk of side effects when administered by a trained professional
What to Expect
- Results are visible right after treatment
- Mild swelling or soreness at injection sites may occur but usually subsides in a few days
- Treatments are customized to meet individual aesthetic goals
Dermal fillers are an excellent option for those seeking subtle, yet noticeable facial enhancement without surgery—especially when performed by an experienced injector.
The longevity of dermal fillers depends on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and your body’s natural metabolism.
General Guidelines for Filler Longevity:
- Hyaluronic acid fillers (e.g., Juvederm, Restylane): Typically last 6 to 12 months
- Calcium hydroxylapatite fillers (e.g., Radiesse): Often last 12 to 18 months
- Poly-L-lactic acid fillers (e.g., Sculptra): Can last up to 2 years
- Polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) fillers (e.g., Bellafill): May last up to 5 years
Touch-ups or maintenance treatments are often recommended to preserve your desired results. Your provider can help you choose the right filler based on your goals, treatment area, and how long you want the results to last.
While there is no minimum legal age for cosmetic or plastic surgery; please consider the following:
- Patients under 18 must have parental or guardian consent
- Many surgeons recommend waiting until a teen has physically matured and can make an informed decision
- Reconstructive procedures (e.g., ear surgery, cleft lip repair) are commonly performed in childhood or adolescence
- Cosmetic procedures (e.g., nose reshaping, breast surgery) are typically postponed until late teens or adulthood for emotional and physical readiness
A consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeon is required to evaluate whether surgery is appropriate and safe for younger patients.
