About Mommy Makeovers

A mommy makeover is a highly customized procedure that Dr. Roham can perform to address the lasting, physical effects of pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Many women consider pregnancy to be one of life’s greatest joys. However, the changes that occur to the body can significantly alter its appearance. The breasts can lose their volume and begin to sag, the skin can become inelastic, fat may accumulate around the body, and the abdominal muscles can weaken and separate. By undergoing a mommy makeover, you can address these concerns and achieve a look that feels authentic to you.

Components of a Mommy Makeover

Dr. Roham typically includes a combination of different body contouring and breast-enhancing procedures as part of each mommy makeover. They typically include breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, tummy tucks, liposuction, and mini tummy tucks, but he will finalize the most beneficial combination of procedures during your consultation.

Breast Augmentation

The breasts can fluctuate in size and shape after pregnancy or breastfeeding. To correct them, Dr. Roham can perform breast augmentation to enhance their size, symmetry, fullness, and shape. He can use either silicone or saline breast implants when performing this procedure, or alloClae, an injectable composed of purified donated human fat. ⁽¹⁾

Breast Lift

A breast lift is a procedure that can elevate the position of the breasts on the chest wall to restore a perkier appearance and address nipple malpositioning. This procedure can refine the shape and appearance of your breasts all without altering their natural volume. ⁽²⁾

Tummy Tuck

The stomach is one of the most impacted regions of the body during pregnancy, and the tissues of this region are often subjected to constant stretching. To address the concerns in this region, Dr. Roham can perform a tummy tuck.

A tummy tuck is a procedure that can remove sagging skin and tighten separated or weakened muscles to restore a flatter, more sculpted, and defined appearance to the upper and lower abdomen. ⁽³⁾ This procedure addresses structural changes that often cannot be corrected through dieting and exercise alone.

Mini Tummy Tuck

A mini tummy tuck is a procedure that can restore a flatter, smoother, and more defined appearance to the lower portion of the abdomen. It removes excess skin and tightens inelastic muscles found exclusively below the navel, leaving the upper half of the abdomen untouched.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that uses a suctioning cannula to remove stubborn deposits of fat that may have developed during pregnancy. Dr. Roham can perform this procedure to address nearly any region of the body, including the arms, legs, thighs, abdomen, back, and more.

Candidates

You may be an ideal candidate for a mommy makeover if you were recently pregnant or breastfeeding and are now interested in restoring your appearance to align more closely with your pre-pregnancy figure.

To undergo this procedure, you should be in good general health and maintain realistic expectations regarding your results. You should no longer be breastfeeding, nor should you have any plans to expand your family. It is also important that you are nonsmoking or willing to quit using nicotine.

Personal Consultation

The first step to transforming your figure is attending a personal consultation. During this visit, Dr. Roham will meet with you individually to discuss each aspect of your treatment. He will review your medical history, discuss your concerns, and learn more about your aesthetic goals. He will also perform a thorough assessment to evaluate the areas that pregnancy has impacted, as well as your natural fat accumulations and skin quality.

Dr. Roham will use this information to finalize your candidacy and explain your options to you. He will decide the most beneficial combination of procedures for your needs, and may suggest integrating additional ones into your treatment plan. Throughout your consultation, he will also take the time to answer any questions you may have.

If you are ready to schedule this consultation, we invite you to contact us online or call (949) 269-6960.

Preparation

Once you have scheduled your mommy makeover, Dr. Roham will provide you with a detailed set of instructions to help you. They may vary depending on your lifestyle habits and the combination of procedures you undergo, but you can expect them to include:

Avoiding Certain Medications: Unless medically necessary, refrain from taking medications or supplements that may thin your blood.
Arranging Time Away: Prepare to take a step back from your professional and personal responsibilities.
Preparing Transportation: Have a trusted friend or relative drive you home after your procedure.
Rearranging Your Home: Pick up any medications you need and rearrange your home to create a comfortable living environment.
Refraining From Substances: If applicable, stop consuming any nicotine or alcohol in the weeks leading up to your procedure.

Recovery

After your mommy makeover, it is common to experience some swelling, bruising, and general tenderness around the treated areas. These effects will subside on their own with time, but you may also manage them using medications and plenty of rest. Dr. Roham may also have you wear specialized garments as you heal to minimize further swelling.

We recommend integrating light walks and gentle movements into your routine as soon as you feel ready. By doing so, you can increase your circulation to the healing regions. You can return to desk work and light activities after resting for approximately 1 to 2 weeks. But you will need to refrain from engaging in anything more arduous or demanding.

Dr. Roham will give you a full set of aftercare instructions during your consultation. By following each one, you can ensure a quick and safe return to your routine.

Results

You will be able to enjoy the full results of your mommy makeover as soon as you recover. While your results will vary, you can expect perkier and more shapely breasts, a flatter stomach, a more defined waist, smoother skin, improved proportions, and a more sculpted silhouette overall. Each of these effects may contribute to a greater sense of self-confidence.

The results of a mommy makeover are long-lasting, with effects that you can enjoy for several years to come. To preserve them, we recommend maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle habits.

Cost of Mommy Makeovers in Newport Beach, CA

Each mommy makeover is fully tailored, which means the cost will vary between patients, with considerations including the exact procedures you receive, the extent of your corrections, and the total surgical time.

FAQ

What is included in a mommy makeover?

Dr. Roham typically combines any of the following procedures: breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tucks, liposuction, and mini tummy tucks. The exact combination he chooses will vary depending on each patient’s natural anatomy, concerns, and desired aesthetic.

What is the difference between a breast lift and a breast augmentation procedure?

A breast lift reshapes the breast and elevates it to create a more shapely, symmetrical, and perky appearance without altering the natural volume of the breasts. On the other hand, a breast augmentation procedure uses breast implants or purified donated human fat to increase the shape, size, and fullness of the breasts.

Can I still breastfeed or have children after undergoing a mommy makeover?

We recommend completing your family and breastfeeding before receiving a mommy makeover, as these actions can undo the results of your procedure.

Will my mommy makeover leave visible scars?

While every surgery leaves some degree of scarring, Dr. Roham takes great care to make each incision in an easily concealable region. Any scars will continue to fade and flatten with time until they are barely perceptible.

How long will it take to recover after my mommy makeover?

Your exact recovery timeline will vary. Many of Dr. Roham’s patients can return to light activities and desk work after resting for approximately 1 to 2 weeks, but you will need to continue avoiding anything more arduous until Dr. Roham has cleared you to return.
