⌵What is a Mommy Makeover Surgery?

A Mommy Makeover is not one specific operation. Instead, it’s a tailored package of cosmetic surgeries performed in a single session, designed to help you reclaim your body. It specifically targets the areas most affected by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. The beauty of a Mommy Makeover is that it’s completely customized to your unique body and aesthetic goals.​

⌵What’s Included in a Mommy Makeover Procedure?

1. Breast Procedures:

Breast Augmentation: Uses silicone or saline implants to restore lost breast volume, increase size, and improve overall shape and fullness.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Corrects sagging by removing excess skin, then reshaping and lifting the breast tissue to create a perkier, more youthful appearance.

Breast Reduction: For women experiencing discomfort from large breasts, this procedure removes excess skin, fat, and glandular tissue to create smaller, lighter, and more proportionate breasts.

2. Abdominal Procedures:

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): A transformative procedure that removes excess loose skin and stubborn fat from the abdomen. Crucially, it also surgically repairs and tightens abdominal muscles that may have been stretched or separated during pregnancy (a condition called diastasis recti).

Liposuction: Precisely removes stubborn pockets of fat from various areas, such as the abdomen, flanks (“love handles”), thighs, or back—to sculpt, contour, and refine your body’s silhouette.

3. Other Potential Procedures:

Vaginal Rejuvenation: Includes procedures like labiaplasty to address changes in the vaginal area after childbirth, such as reducing the size of the labia for improved comfort and aesthetics.

Buttock Enhancement: Uses fat grafting (a Brazilian Butt Lift) or implants to reshape, add volume, and enhance the contour of the buttocks for a more balanced profile.

Facial Rejuvenation: Complements your body transformation by addressing signs of facial aging with procedures like eyelid surgery, fillers, or even a facelift to ensure a refreshed look from head to toe.

⌵The Mommy Makeover Journey: Consultation, Surgery, and Recovery

A Step-by-Step Surgical Process

Here’s a step-by-step guide to your mommy makeover procedure at WIH International Hospital in Bangkok.

Step 1: Arrival and Final Preparations

On the day before the surgery, you will arrive at our modern hospital and be welcomed into a comfortable, private room. Our nursing team will review your medical chart and take your vital signs. Shortly after, you will have a final consultation with our board-certified surgeon. They will review your surgical plan, answer any questions, and make precise surgical markings on your body to guide the procedure. You will also meet with the anesthesiologist to discuss the anesthesia plan and ensure your utmost safety and comfort.

Step 2: Administering Anesthesia

Once all preparations are complete, you will be brought into our state-of-the-art operating suite. Our expert anesthesiology team will administer general anesthesia, ensuring you are comfortably asleep and feel no pain throughout the entire surgery. Your vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels, will be continuously monitored by the team from start to finish.

Step 3: The Surgical Procedure

The surgeon will now begin the procedure, following the customized plan. The order of operations is strategic to ensure the best possible outcome. A typical sequence is:

1. Liposuction: This is often performed first to remove targeted fat deposits from the abdomen, back, and flanks. This initial contouring helps the surgeon better assess the amount of skin to be removed during the tummy tuck.
2. Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): The surgeon makes a low incision, typically from hip to hip. They will then repair the separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) by stitching them back together, creating a stronger and flatter abdominal wall. Excess skin is then carefully pulled down, trimmed away, and a new opening is created for your navel.
3. Breast Procedure: Whether it’s a lift, augmentation, or both, the surgeon will make the planned incisions. They will then lift and reshape the breast tissue, place implants if part of your plan, and reposition the nipples to a more youthful height before closing the incisions.

Step 4: Closing the Incisions

The surgeon will use expert techniques to close all incisions. This often involves using multiple layers of dissolvable sutures deep within the tissue to provide support and reduce tension on the skin. The final skin layer is closed with very fine stitches, surgical glue, or sterile tape to promote minimal scarring and optimal healing.

Step 5: Immediate Post-Op and Recovery

Once the surgery is complete, sterile dressings and bandages are applied to the incision sites. The patient will be fitted into a medical-grade compression garment. This special garment is crucial for minimizing swelling, supporting the newly contoured tissues, and helping the skin conform to its new shape.

The patients are then gently moved to our dedicated recovery unit, where our specialized recovery nurses will closely monitor them as they comfortably wake up. Once the patients are stable, they will be transferred back to their private rooms to rest and begin their recovery under our attentive care.

⌵Mommy Makeover Recovery Time

Recovery is a critical part of the process. While it varies for everyone, here is a general timeline:

First Week: Expect swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which are managed with prescribed medication. You will need to rest and have assistance at home.

Weeks 2-4: You’ll start feeling more like yourself and can gradually return to light daily activities and office work. Strenuous exercise is still off-limits.

Weeks 4-6: Most swelling will have subsided, and you can begin to see your new shape emerge. You may be cleared to resume most forms of exercise.

6 Months & Beyond: Your final results will become fully apparent as residual swelling disappears and scars continue to fade and mature.

⌵Understanding the Mommy Makeover Cost

The mommy makeover cost is not one-size-fits-all because the procedure is fully customized. The final price depends on:

• The specific procedures included in your plan.
• The complexity of the surgery.
• Anesthesia and hospital facility fees.

⌵What Results and Benefits Can I Expect?
