FAQS

A mommy makeover is a customized combination of cosmetic procedures designed to restore your pre-pregnancy body. Dr. Stephen M. Chen combines procedures like a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast surgery to address post-baby body concerns. During your consultation, Dr. Chen will personalize the mommy makeover to help you feel confident and beautiful.

Dr. Chen will perform a comprehensive physical exam to assess your overall health and determine if a mommy makeover is right for you. This procedure is ideal for women who are postpartum and have concerns such as:

Flat or droopy breasts
Loose or flabby skin
Stubborn pockets of fat in the thighs or abdomen
Skin irregularities
A flat backside

It’s recommended to wait until your family is complete before undergoing a mommy makeover, as future pregnancies may affect the long-term results.

Dr. Chen tailors each mommy makeover to meet your specific needs and goals. Common procedures included in a mommy makeover are:

Breast Surgery: Pregnancy and nursing can change the size, shape, and position of your breasts. A breast lift can restore lost elasticity and perkiness, and breast augmentation can enhance size and roundness.
Tummy Tuck: A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens separated abdominal muscles, helping to restore a taut, flat midsection after pregnancy.
Liposuction: If you have stubborn fat pockets that won’t respond to diet and exercise, liposuction can help contour areas like the thighs, abdomen, and flanks.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): If pregnancy or weight loss has left you with a flat backside, a Brazilian butt lift can enhance your curves and give you a more rounded and youthful look.

Recovery time varies depending on the combination of procedures performed. In general, you can expect a recovery period of several weeks. Dr. Chen will provide detailed post-op care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. It's important to avoid strenuous activities during this time and follow all recommendations to achieve optimal results.
