What's included in a mommy makeover?

Before preparing for surgery, it's essential to understand what a mommy makeover involves. A custom mommy makeover often includes procedures like breast augmentation or lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, and sometimes vaginal rejuvenation. These surgeries are tailored to address the unique needs of each patient and transform their body. During your consultation, Dr. Sean Kelishadi at SSK Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, CA will create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals.

How do I prepare my body to get ready for my procedure?

Preparing your body is critical for a smooth recovery and optimal results. Your overall health will impact your surgical experience, so prioritizing wellness is essential. Here are a few key ways to prepare:

  • Maintain a healthy diet and stay hydrated to support healing
  • Avoid smoking or using nicotine products for several weeks before surgery
  • Exercise regularly to improve physical fitness, but avoid overexertion

Additionally, discuss any medications or supplements with your surgeon to ensure they won't interfere with your procedure or recovery. Preparing your body not only helps during surgery but also contributes to a faster recovery process.

What steps should I take to prepare my home after mommy makeover surgery?

Creating a comfortable recovery space at home is another important aspect of preparing for your procedure. A well-prepared environment can make your recovery smoother and more relaxing. Consider the following:

  • Set up a recovery area with essentials like pillows, blankets, and medications
  • Arrange for help with childcare, household tasks, or meal preparation
  • Stock up on easy-to-prepare meals and healthy snacks

Preparing your home ensures you can focus on rest and recovery without unnecessary stress or distractions.

How can I mentally prepare for my custom mommy makeover?

Mental preparation is just as important as physical readiness. Feeling confident and informed about your surgery will help alleviate stress. Here are some steps you can take to prepare yourself mentally:

  • Review your surgical plan with Dr. Kelishadi to feel confident in the process
  • Ask questions about what to expect before, during, and after surgery
  • Plan your schedule to include plenty of time for rest and recovery

Approaching your surgery with a positive and informed mindset sets the tone for a successful transformation.
