Mommy Makeover
Many patients experience changes in both their abdominal and breast contour after pregnancy. Such patients will often desire improvement in their abdominal shape (tummy tuck) as well as rejuvenation and/or augmentation of their breasts (implants). Some women may require a breast lift at this time as well. This combination of a tummy tuck and breast rejuvenation is commonly referred to as a “mommy makeover”.

Patients occasionally will have a procedure in addition to a breast and abdominal procedure during a Beverly Hills mommy makeover; such as liposuction of the arms for example. However, the breast surgery (breast implants with or without a breast lift) and the abdominal surgery (tummy tuck with or without liposuction of the love handle area) are the major components of the mommy makeover.
Both procedures can usually be performed at the same time provided a patient is in good health. The best time to undergo such a combination of surgeries is when you have completed having children, as pregnancy occurring after these procedures can result in a compromise of the cosmetic result. Dr.Bruno will review your medical history and determine if a mommy makeover in Beverly Hills is right for you.
The total time of the surgery can vary from three to five hours, depending on the specific combination of procedures. Most patients will take about one week off from work to recover, with no heavy lifting for around four weeks. A supportive bra and abdominal garment (girdle) are worn for about four weeks after surgery. Dr.Bruno will review the post-operative care in more detail at the time of your consultation.
