Is a Mommy Makeover painful?

Pain levels can vary from patient to patient, but it is normal to experience some discomfort following a Mommy Makeover procedure. Dr. Arslanian will prescribe some temporary pain medications to alleviate any symptoms. We will also provide you with some instructions on how to make your healing experience more comfortable.

How many appointments will I need?

The number of appointments required for a Mommy Makeover can vary depending on the specific procedures included in your treatment plan.

However, the exact number of appointments required will depend on the complexity of your case.

How long until I see results?

If you would like to hear Dr. Arslanian’s expert suggestions for a specific procedure that you feel could be a good fit, we encourage you to raise your ideas and concerns during the consultation.

What are the risks associated with a Mommy Makeover?

You’ll be given any prescription medication required for your recovery, and you will review and sign all of your paperwork and consent forms. In some cases, you may need to obtain prior medical clearance from your physician or specialist. You may also have to meet with the anesthesiologist beforehand for additional lab work, depending on your medical situation.

What to expect on the day of Mommy Makeover surgery

Your mommy makeover will be an outpatient procedure in an accredited surgery center with a board-certified anesthesiologist in the safest conditions possible. The surgery will be performed under general anesthesia. Depending on the extent and length of your procedure, there are instances where it may be recommended that you stay overnight in the hospital or surgical center.

After you are asleep, Dr. Arslanian will start by making his incisions. Depending on your individual treatment plan, the procedure may start on your breast, abdomen, or areas of liposuction. Dr. Arslanian will then perform your procedures, close the incisions, and dress the treated areas in specialized bandaging. Then, it’s off to the recovery room to wake up and start your recovery.

Depending on your personal treatment plan and your body’s unique healing process, your recovery time will vary. Recovery can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks depending on the extent of surgery, and which procedures were performed.
