To learn more about the surgery, please read the paragraphs below.
A plastic surgeon Orange County patients trust to provide excellent care and beautiful, natural-looking results. While beauty is more than skin deep, the decision to enhance your appearance, whether subtle or dramatic, can boost your self-confidence and positively impact every area of your life.
It’s common for women to feel overjoyed about being a mother but less enthused about the toll pregnancy took on their bodies; this is nothing to feel ashamed of. There are ways to correct the areas of the body that are affected by pregnancy — through diet, exercise, surgical intervention, or a combination of the three. Since pregnancy affects more than one area of the body, plastic surgeon Dr. Michael J. Sundine offers a treatment that addresses all areas in what is essentially one surgery, called a mommy makeover.
Many of our patients have seen the following benefits from their Newport Beach Mommy Makeover:
Suitable candidates for mommy makeover surgery should be in good health and have reasonable expectations of what surgery can and cannot accomplish. You should be done having children; it is recommended that a woman wait at least six months after giving birth before considering mommy makeover surgery. Also, you should finish breastfeeding and be at a stable weight before having the procedure.
The mommy makeover procedure is one of the most exciting operations to perform. It can completely transform a woman’s body, giving her back something she may have felt she lost. The first step to getting a mommy makeover in the Orange County area with Dr. Michael J. Sundine is to book a consultation. When you come in for your appointment, Dr. Sundine will examine your body, discuss your personal goals and options we can provide, and he will answer any questions you may have. You will also be asked some questions about your medical and health history, so it’s important to be open and honest as the information you provide will help avoid unnecessary side effects or risks. If you and Dr. Sundine both feel that this is the best solution for your needs, surgery will be booked with our Patient Coordinator and we’ll provide pre and postoperative instructions.
A mommy makeover treats the areas of the body that change the most during pregnancy. You can choose to combine breast surgery with an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), as well as liposuction to eliminate fat deposits from the back, thighs, and buttocks. Dr. Sundine can help you identify the areas of the body that you are unhappy with, and suggest the procedures to best target those areas. He performs the procedure at an accredited surgical center where you will be safe and comfortable.
The recovery from mommy makeover surgery depends on the procedures that were performed. If you have had breast surgery and a tummy tuck you will most likely need to wear special garments (an abdominal binder and a surgical bra) for several weeks following surgery. If you have included a butt lift in your procedure, you will need to stay off of your buttocks while the area heals. You will need to rest at home for several days before Dr. Sundine gives you the go-ahead to return to work and other normal activities. You should also refrain from strenuous exercise and heavy lifting (including lifting children) until Dr. Sundine approves those activities. Dr. Sundine will provide more specific instructions and guidelines for mommy makeover recovery during pre-operative consultations.
A Newport Beach mommy makeover is a highly personalized procedure that often combines multiple surgeries. For us to provide you with an exact cost, you’ll need to meet with Dr. Sundine in his Orange County office. He will be able to answer your questions, give his recommendations, and provide you with all associated costs.
