Advanced Mommy Makeover in Thousand Oaks, CA | Kryger Institute of Plastic Surgery

Understanding the Mommy Makeover Procedure

The Mommy Makeover is a specialized surgical approach designed to address physical changes experienced during pregnancy. This comprehensive procedure targets two primary areas most affected by childbearing: the abdominal region and breasts.

Procedure Components

Kryger Institute of Plastic Surgery offers a customized Mommy Makeover that typically includes:

• Tummy Tuck: Tightens abdominal muscles and removes excess skin
• Breast Enhancement: Options include augmentation, lift, or combination procedure

Surgical Approach

The Kryger Institute's board-certified plastic surgeons perform these procedures simultaneously, which minimizes overall surgical time, reduces potential risks, and decreases total procedure costs.

Ideal Candidates for Mommy Makeover

Suitable candidates for a Mommy Makeover include women who have:

• Completed childbearing
• Returned to pre-pregnancy weight
• Desire to restore pre-pregnancy body contours

Anesthesia Options

Patients can choose between twilight anesthesia (intravenous sedation) or general anesthesia. The surgical team will discuss the most appropriate option during consultation.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from a Mommy Makeover is typically more streamlined when procedures are performed simultaneously. Patients can expect:

• Initial recovery period of 2-6 weeks
• Gradual reduction in swelling and bruising
• Restrictions on strenuous activities for 6 weeks

Pain Management

Pain levels vary among patients but generally improve rapidly after the first few days. The surgical team utilizes advanced pain management techniques to ensure patient comfort.

Financial Considerations

Most insurance providers do not cover Mommy Makeover procedures as they are considered cosmetic. However, combining multiple procedures can offer cost benefits compared to separate surgeries.
