Your Mommy Makeover Journey
Your Goals
Choosing to undergo a Mommy Makeover should be for your own personal reasons. We recommend that women considering surgery have a vision for what they want their body to look like. Compiling photos that showcase elements of your ideal appearance is helpful in determining your goals. It’s important to remember that a Mommy Makeover isn’t a one-size-fits-all procedure. We will tailor each procedure to your body type and your wants. Dr. Andreasen will help guide you through the decision-making process to ensure we reach your aesthetic goals and provide your estimated surgery cost.
Your Consultation
Dr. Andreasen is a leading breast and body expert in the Inland Empire. He understands both the emotional and physical needs that his Mommy Makeover patients have, and he knows the best solutions to meet those needs. During your consultation, Dr. Andreasen evaluates your body type, medical history, and goals. He balances these factors to recommend the best options for your procedure. Implant simulators may be used to help determine your ideal implant size.
Your Look
A combination of breast and body procedures is used to achieve your desired look. One, two, or all of the offered techniques may be utilized to restore the shape of your body. We carefully consider factors such as ideal breast size and locations of excess fat when designing your Mommy Makeover. We pay special attention to create natural curves and realistic results. We want you to look and feel amazing with your new body. You may even feel better than you did before your pregnancy.
Mommy Makeover Options
Benefits of a Mommy Makeover
- Following pregnancy, it is typical to have multiple areas needing correction that cannot all be addressed with one procedure.
- A Mommy Makeover combines multiple procedures into one surgery, which requires only a single recovery period.
- A single surgery eliminates the need for multiple anesthesia costs, ultimately saving you money.
Benefits of a Mommy Makeover
- Your results will look more natural and complete if the entire body is addressed at once.
- We are able to utilize a number of techniques at once to ensure the most natural and beautiful results possible.
Breast Surgery Procedures
Breast augmentation uses implants to increase the size and improve the shape of your breasts. Implants are generally needed if you have lost volume and your breasts appear deflated.Deflated breasts can still have good skin elasticity but lack the breast tissue needed to create the full and attractive appearance you desire.
Breast Surgery Procedures
Breast lift surgery repositions and reinforces breast tissue that has become weak and sagging. This process generally places the breast tissue so it sits higher and has a more perky position.You may consider breast lift surgery as a standalone procedure or in combination with breast augmentation if your breast tissue sits below the inframammary line or your nipples point downward.
Body Procedures
Tummy tuck surgery removes excess skin from the stomach area and tightens the abdominal muscles. This process restores the tone and firmness of the abdomen.You may consider a mini tummy tuck, which addresses the lower abdomen and muscle laxity more than excess skin. A traditional tummy tuck will address both skin and muscle laxity above and below the navel.
Body Procedures
Liposuction eliminates excess fat from stubborn areas of the body. This can enhance the curves or definition of various areas of the body.You can utilize liposuction along the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, back, and neck. Addressing these areas helps slim and tone your body contour.
Concerns
Recovery
You will experience bruising and swelling after your surgery. A special support bra and compression garments will be worn throughout your recovery. You will be required to rest for several days following your procedure, but most patients can return to work after two weeks and resume their regular exercise routine after one month.
Scars
The visibility of your scarring will depend on incision placement and your body’s natural healing ability. Dr. Andreasen uses incision techniques to help minimize scar development. Most scarring is either inconspicuous or will fade over time.
Cost
The cost of your Mommy Makeover will vary depending on a number of factors. Implant material, number of procedures, surgical fees, facility fees, and anesthesia fees will all affect the final cost of your Mommy Makeover. Dr. Andreasen will provide a detailed quote during your consultation. Financing options are available to qualifying patients. Dr. Andreasen’s office is conveniently located nearby Riverside, Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario and in the Inland Empire Area.
Pain
General anesthesia is used during your surgery to ensure patient safety and comfort. You may feel discomfort following your procedure as your body acclimates to the new pressure of your implants. Oral pain medication is prescribed to help control postoperative discomfort.
