How Long Should I Wait Until I Have A Mommy Makeover?

Many women want to regain their pre-pregnancy figure soon after giving birth, but several factors influence the outcomes of the procedures. Dr. Kole will help you decide when to have your Mommy Makeover as well as which procedures will give you back a toned, attractive body. The most important part of returning your body to its pre-pregnancy condition is patience. In the months after childbirth, your body goes through some natural changes, such as fluctuating hormones and natural fat loss. Having a Mommy Makeover too soon can mean that the results of the procedures are more short-term than if you had given your body time to readjust. Some of the changes that occur naturally after giving birth are:

Abdominal muscles returning to a “resting state” after being stretched to accommodate your baby
Changes to hormone levels
Shifting and reduction of body fat
Skin reshaping to your post-pregnancy contours
Changes to breast shape and size to allow for the breast milk

Pre-Surgery Recommendations After Pregnancy

You will need to be near your ideal weight for at least six months before having your Mommy Makeover. You can reach this goal by following a healthy diet and exercising regularly. You will also need to be done breastfeeding your baby for at least six months to allow your breasts to return to a natural shape and size. Dr. Kole also recommends that you have your Mommy Makeover once you are done having children because any subsequent pregnancies will affect the results of the procedures. If you do have children after your Mommy Makeover, you may need additional surgeries to correct any changes to body fat or skin elasticity.
