What is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures typically performed to address physical changes that occur after pregnancy and childbirth. It commonly includes procedures such as breast augmentation or lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction to restore a woman's pre-pregnancy body.
What Are the Benefits of a Mommy Makeover?
The benefits of a mommy makeover include addressing multiple concerns in a single surgical session, restoring breast volume and shape, tightening abdominal muscles and skin, eliminating excess fat, and enhancing overall body contour. It can improve self-confidence and help women feel more comfortable and confident in their post-pregnancy bodies.
Who Are the Best Candidates For this Operation?
The best candidates for a mommy makeover are women who have completed their childbearing and breastfeeding, are in good overall health, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure. Ideal candidates desire to restore their pre-pregnancy body contours and are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-surgery.

Risks and Side Effects
While a Mommy Makeover with Dr. Mohammed Elahi can significantly enhance a patient's body contour and boost confidence, patients should be aware of potential risks and consequences.

Duration of Results
The results of a Mommy Makeover are typically long-lasting, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle and stable weight, but natural aging and significant weight fluctuations can affect the longevity of the results.

Recovery After Mommy Makeover
The recovery time for a Mommy Makeover generally follows this timeline, though it can vary based on the specific procedures involved:
1. Initial Days Post-Surgery:
- Patients can expect significant swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medications. It's crucial to rest and limit physical activity during this initial period. Compression garments may be recommended to reduce swelling and support the surgical areas.
2. 1-2 Weeks:
- Swelling and bruising will gradually diminish. Most patients will need to take at least one to two weeks off work to focus on recovery. It's essential to follow Dr. Elahi's post-operative care instructions regarding wound care, medication, and activity restrictions.
3. Weeks 2-4:
- Swelling continues to decrease, and patients may begin to feel more comfortable resuming light activities. However, strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should still be avoided during this time to prevent complications and promote proper healing.
4. Weeks 4-6
- Most of the swelling should have subsided, and patients can typically start to resume more normal daily activities. It's important to continue wearing compression garments as directed and to avoid activities that strain the surgical areas.
2. 3-6 MONTHS
- Full recovery is generally achieved within this period. The final results will continue to improve as any residual swelling completely resolves, scars fade, and the body adjusts to its new contours.
Following Dr. Elahi's specific recovery guidelines, attending all follow-up appointments, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are crucial for achieving optimal results and minimizing potential complications. Each patient's recovery experience may vary, so it's important to communicate openly with Dr. Elahi and his team throughout the healing process.
