What to Expect From Your Mommy Makeover in San Diego, CA

Our Mommy Makeovers are outpatient procedures done under general anesthesia, meaning you’ll need a trusted family member, friend, or partner to drive you to and from our clinic. During surgery, your doctor will perform your chosen procedures in a strategic order to minimize trauma to the body and streamline your recovery.

High-Touch, Patient-First Recovery

Recovery from your Mommy Makeover will depend on your chosen procedures. Most patients experience mild swelling, bruising, soreness, or tightness after surgery, which should resolve within one to two weeks. Your final results will reveal themselves as residual swelling fades, which can take up to six months.

You’ll head home from your procedure with extensive aftercare instructions tailored to your unique combination of treatments, which may include the following items:

Wound care and cleaning protocols
Skin care and hygiene recommendations
Supportive or compression garment guidance
Activity limitations
Sleep position restrictions
Pain management strategies, if needed

Over the coming weeks, you’ll return to our San Diego office multiple times for follow-up appointments with our team. There, your surgeon will check your healing progress, remove any remaining sutures, and approve you to resume impactful activities like strenuous exercise, bending, lifting heavy objects, intimacy.

Before You Begin

Mommy Makeover FAQs

How long should I wait after childbirth to consider a Mommy Makeover?

We recommend that you wait at least six months after having your last child or finishing breastfeeding to explore your Mommy Makeover options. You must fully recover from childbirth and reach a stable postpartum weight before undergoing treatment.

Can a Mommy Makeover reduce stretch marks?

Yes. By removing and tightening skin, we eliminate stretch marks on those areas. While not all stretch marks can be removed, their appearance may be significantly improved with surgery.

Will having more children impact my results?

Yes. An additional pregnancy and the associated weight gain will affect your outcome. If this is a possibility for you, discuss your options with your surgeon to determine non-surgical alternatives.

Can I have a Mommy Makeover if I had a C-Section?

Yes. Our procedures are fully customizable, and can be performed on women who underwent both natural childbirth and a c-section. Your surgeon can address the additional scar tissue and altered abdominal contours from your c-section during surgery.

How long will my Mommy Makeover results last?

Your Mommy Makeover results can last for several years. You can extend the longevity of your outcome by maintaining a stable weight and sticking to a healthy lifestyle.
