Is a Mommy Makeover Painful?

Most Mommy Makeover procedures will be performed under general anesthesia and may require pain management after the surgeries are complete, depending on the extent of the surgery performed. Most patients will experience some amount of bleeding, bruising, or swelling during their recovery period. Please review your medical history and allergies during your initial consultation.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Mommy makeover surgeries are a combination of procedures that may be performed under general anesthesia. Some patients may be able to tolerate or even prefer some procedures performed simultaneously to minimize their recovery time, but this will depend on the type and extent of surgeries performed. Ogilvie Plastic Surgery will help you determine the number of appointments necessary to complete your procedures while keeping your health and safety in mind.

How Long Until I See Results?

Depending on the type of procedure, most patients should be able to see results immediately. However, Dr. Ogilvie recommends patients wait until at least two weeks after their surgery is complete to allow any swelling to go down so that they may appreciate your new look. A Mommy Makeover can last for years, but the benefits of the surgeries can be interrupted by weight gain or loss or additional pregnancies.

What Will the Scarring Look Like?

Please schedule a follow-up appointment with Dr. Ogilvie to ensure there are no complicating factors before resuming physical exercise.

Can I Combine a Mommy Makeover With Other Procedures?

Some patients prefer to undergo multiple procedures at the same time to minimize the time they spend recovering from several procedures, while others prefer to space their procedures out. Patients can also add non-surgical , minimally invasive treatments for an overall restored youthful look. Dr. Ogilvie will be able to recommend which procedures and treatments may be performed concurrently or should be spaced out in your individual consultation.

Some women can achieve this through diet and exercise, but more dramatic intervention is often needed to restore their bodies and, with it, their self-confidence. Dr. Ogilvie can help. Ogilvie Plastic Surgery is happy to service mothers in the Chicago, IL, area with a Mommy Makeover.
