With a mommy makeover near Fort Lauderdale at Salas Plastic Surgery, you can reclaim your confidence. Dr. Salas, a Harvard-trained, board-certified plastic surgeon, combines various techniques to address loose skin, displaced tissue, and weak muscles. Keep reading as we discuss what you can expect from our surgical process.
What Your Mommy Makeover Looks Like at Salas Plastic Surgery
When you choose Dr. Salas to perform your mommy makeover, he blends artistry and precision to help you reach your cosmetic goals. Since Dr. Salas customizes the mommy makeover based on each patient’s unique needs, the process looks a little different for everyone, but the results are always amazing.
Step 1: Consultation
To begin your journey, you have a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Salas. He asks about your goals for plastic surgery to make you happy, and determines how he can meet your needs with surgical excellence.
Dr. Salas asks about your medical history, including if you are planning additional pregnancies or currently breastfeeding, as well as any details that may help the decision-making process. To confirm that surgery is right for you, he examines your anatomy and plans out the areas he can restore and enhance to achieve your desired goals.
Step 2: Surgery
Depending on your goals, Dr. Salas could combine a tummy tuck, liposuction, and/or a breast enhancement (i.e., lift, reduction, augmentation)
Tummy Tuck
Dr. Salas uses a tummy tuck to tighten skin, reduce stretch marks, and improve muscle laxity. Many women suffer from diastasis recti after pregnancy, which is a condition that causes weak and separated abdominal muscles. By tightening the skin and restoring optimal muscle position, you can reach your dream postpartum body.
Liposuction
Dr. Salas can elevate your contours and define your waistline with liposuction. This procedure suctions out stubborn fat deposits, and Dr. Salas’ famous body sculpting abilities deliver your ideal body shape with curves in all the right places.
Breast Enhancement
As milk supply increases, your breasts can change shape and size, and after breastfeeding stops, the change in shape may still remain, sometimes in ways you might not love. Whether the solution is a lift through removing excess skin and reshaping tissue or an augmentation with implants, you can restore your breasts to their natural shape or reach the look you’ve always wanted.
Step 3: Recovery
Patients should expect an initial downtime of 1 to 2 weeks, where Dr. Salas instructs you on how to optimize the healing process. During this time, he recommends rest and limited activity. Our team provides a detailed recovery plan for you to follow, which includes tips for comfort, activity progression, garment wear, and wound care.
Over the next few weeks to months, you can see your new shape take effect as swelling subsides and tissues settle into place.
