Dr. Tavoussi - Temecula Mommy Makeover | Orange County Cosmetic Procedure

After the joys and pain of childbirth, many women find that their bodies are forever changed. Their tummies do not snap back into being perfectly flat, their breasts droop and sag, and they develop areas of fat that are unresponsive to diet and exercise. Women who are experiencing these symptoms and who are done having children and breastfeeding are encouraged to contact Dr. Tavoussi at the OC Cosmetic Surgery Clinique today for a Temecula Mommy Makeover consultation.

Procedures Involved in Temecula Mommy Makeover Procedures

A Temecula Mommy Makeover combines two or three popular plastic surgeries into one surgery to restore these women’s bodies. This is a permanent procedure that requires general anesthesia and a two to three week recovery time. However, it is a great way to allow women to achieve toned, beautiful bodies without subjecting them to two or three separate surgeries with separate recovery times and increased costs for anesthesia.

Most Temecula Mommy Makeovers combine a tummy tuck with a breast enhancement and a liposuction. The breast enhancement may be a breast lift or augmentation depending on patient wishes. Some women also request non-surgical treatments, such as cellulite treatments or laser treatments for improving stretch marks at the same time.

While a mommy makeover is a great option for many women, it may not be right for some. Patients must keep in mind that combining several surgeries can lead to lengthy surgery times of up to eight hours and may open women up to increased risks of complications from anesthesia, bleeding or something else. Women can certainly get pregnant following a mommy makeover. However, the pregnancy may undo all of the benefits of the makeover, and they may find that they cannot breastfeed.

The Correct Time to Seek Temecula Mommy Makeover

Women should wait at least six months following childbirth to schedule a Temecula Mommy Makeover. They should also be done breastfeeding because breastfeeding can significantly impact the shape and size of the breasts. Dr. Tavoussi will be able to provide further guidance on who may benefit from a mommy makeover.

Recovery can be slightly difficult at first because of the extent of the surgeries. However, with some help from a loved one and with someone to watch over children, women can successfully recover at home while following the surgeon’s orders. Women will have follow-up appointments to attend and may need to take care of their incisions at home. They will be given a pain medication prescription to deal with discomfort.
