Mommy Makeover is a set of body contouring procedures designed to reverse body changes after pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding. These changes include excess skin or fat in the abdominal area, sagging breasts after breastfeeding and unwanted stretch marks. Dr. Boudana is a board-certified plastic surgeon who can tailor your procedure at Forest Hill Private Plastic Surgery Clinic in Toronto.

Am I a good candidate for the Mommy Makeover?

You may be a good candidate for a Mommy Makeover if you’re in good physical shape, have no plans to have more children, are optimistic and have reasonable goals. The best time for a mommy makeover is after you’ve waited for your post-pregnancy body to heal and reach your ideal weight.

Dr. Boudana will also discuss the likely outcome of the procedure with you and explain any potential risks and complications. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions you may have.

What to expect during the mommy makeover recovery?

Dr. Boudana will apply gauze or bandages to your incisions after the operation. A support bra or elastic bandage will help reduce swelling and support the breasts. Your recovery may last from one to several weeks, and depending on the treatments included in your Mommy Makeover, expect to experience soreness, bruising and swelling for up to two weeks.

After your mommy makeover, you’ll need to ask a family member or friend to help you around the house until you can care for yourself independently. You should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for at least six weeks after your mommy makeover. It would be best to avoid smoking before and after your mommy makeover, which delays wound healing.
