Pregnancy and childbirth are amazing processes that allow a woman to bring new life into the world. However, they can also take a toll on a woman's body. A Mommy Makeover is the term used to describe a combination of procedures designed to restore the pre-pregnancy shape of a woman's body.
Please schedule a consultation if you're interested in a mommy makeover in San Antonio.

What are the limitations, risks, and complications of a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover typically includes multiple procedures combined into one surgery. Common procedures in a mommy makeover can include a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, breast lift, liposuction, and sometimes other body contouring. By consolidating these procedures into a single surgery, patients can reduce their overall recovery time. Two board-certified plastic surgeons often perform the surgery together to ensure safety and efficiency, avoiding the need for overnight stays or extended care.
The procedure may take place at an accredited ambulatory surgical center, or at a hospital on an outpatient basis. The choice of location is based on many factors including your safety and quality of care.
After a mommy makeover, most patients can go home the same day. If we are doing an excision of a large amount of skin or additional procedures, you may need to stay overnight in the hospital or surgical center.
