What should I expect with a mommy makeover from Dr. Lind?

Dr. Lind, a double-board certified plastic surgeon, provides mommy makeovers in Houston. The surgery usually takes place in one of his on-site operating rooms. This combination of procedures typically takes four to six hours. Again, the length of time depends on how much surgery is necessary. See our links to tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), breast lift (mastopexy), breast augmentation, and liposuction for details concerning each specific procedure.

Who is a candidate for a mommy makeover?

You may be a good candidate for a mommy makeover in Houston with Dr. Lind if you have loose, excess abdominal skin and fat, along with loose muscles in the abdominal wall that cause your belly to bulge out. This is common after having children. You may also be a good candidate for a mommy makeover if you have:

  • Sagging breasts
  • Enlarged nipples and areolas
  • Breasts appear deflated
  • Excess fat in areas that are treatable with liposuction, such as the flanks, thighs, or abdomen 
  • Breasts that are too small for your frame 
  • Abdominal muscles that appear split (diastasis recti)
  • Many stretch marks on your lower abdomen

Mommy Makeover FAQs

When is the best time to have a mommy makeover?

Why are mommy makeover surgeries combined in one procedure?

What should I do to get ready for a mommy makeover?

When is the best time to have a mommy makeover?

It is best to have a mommy makeover when you are finished having children and breastfeeding, and your body is stabilized after your last pregnancy. If you become pregnant or gain a substantial amount of weight after a mommy makeover procedure, it could significantly affect your results.

Why are mommy makeover surgeries combined in one procedure?

When two or more surgeries are performed in combination instead of individually, it reduces overall recovery time. There is also the benefit of having your results appear simultaneously after post-operative swelling subsides. You will be able to enjoy your flatter, firmer tummy, perkier breasts, and slimmer contours all at once.

What should I do to get ready for a mommy makeover?

If you smoke, you should stop at least six weeks before your mommy makeover procedure. Although you still have an increased risk of complications, the risks are far less if you stop smoking. A test will be done on the day of surgery to ensure you have not been smoking. Any prescription or over-the-counter medication that can cause bleeding should also be stopped two weeks before surgery if cleared by the prescribing physician.
