One of the first steps to a successful mommy makeover is working with the right surgeon. Dr. Robert Hunsaker, certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, offers unmatched precision and patient care. His Miami practice is built on trust, technical excellence, and personal attention.
In addition to choosing a skilled surgeon, there are other factors to consider. Below is a pre-procedure checklist that can help you feel informed and ready.
Understand What a Mommy Makeover Includes
A mommy makeover typically combines several procedures tailored to your needs, such as:
- A tummy tuck to address loose skin and abdominal muscles
- Breast enhancement (lift, augmentation, or reduction)
- Liposuction to contour stubborn areas
Knowing what’s involved makes it easier for you to plan for downtime and results.
Have a Detailed Consultation
During your pre-surgery consultation, your provider will listen to your goals, explain your options, and recommend a customized surgical plan. This meeting is also a good time to review before-and-after photos and get a realistic idea of what you can expect.
Plan for Recovery Time
Mommy makeover recovery varies depending on the specific procedures you undergo. However, it generally involves:
- Two weeks off work for most patients
- Help at home during the first week, especially if you have young children
- Avoiding strenuous activity for 4–6 weeks
Pre-arrange childcare, meals, and household help. That way, you can rest and recuperate while also knowing that your loved ones are cared for.
Get in Optimal Health
Good health supports better healing. Stop smoking at least 4–6 weeks before and after surgery. Maintain a stable weight leading up to your procedure, too, and follow your surgeon’s pre-op instructions.
Prep Your Recovery Space
Set up a clean, comfortable area with:
- Easy access to essentials (medications, water, phone charger)
- Loose-fitting clothing
- Extra pillows for support
Your comfort can significantly improve your healing experience, so don’t skip this step!
