Make your body yours again with a Mommy Makeover from Dr. Christian Subbio.

From the moment you become pregnant, your body goes through changes to support not just your life, but the life of your baby. These changes are beautiful, but they are also taxing. Many mothers feel like their bodies no longer belong to them as their breasts grow and lactate to support this new being.

By the time your role as life-giver and milk mother to your child has come to an end, you may be ready to reclaim your body and restore a more youthful shape. A Mommy Makeover in Philadelphia at Subbio Plastic Surgery can be a powerful way to beautifully transition into this next chapter of motherhood.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a blanket term that describes multiple procedures that are often performed to reverse or reduce the impacts of childbearing and breastfeeding on a woman’s body. For example, Dr. Subbio often performs a combination of breast lift with implants and a tummy tuck with Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction for his Philadelphia Mommy Makeover patients.

However, the exact recommendations will depend on you. During your consultation for a Mommy Makeover Philadelphia plastic surgeon, Dr. Subbio will evaluate your concerns and determine a treatment plan that will combine the precise techniques necessary to achieve your aesthetic goals. Dr. Subbio is an artist as well as a doctor.

 

Am I a Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

If you have any of the following conditions following pregnancy and breastfeeding, a mommy makeover might be a good choice for you:

  • Excess skin around the stomach and abdomen
  • A post-pregnancy weight that does not respond to diet or exercise
  • Deflated or sagging breasts
  • Heavy breasts that cause discomfort or pain
  • Persistent pockets of fat on your body
  • A flattened or sagging bottom

You should be at your ideal weight and in good physical health. If you plan to lose more than 15 pounds, you should wait to have a procedure like a tummy tuck since weight loss could cause additional loose skin to develop.

If you are planning on a pregnancy soon, you should postpone your Mommy Makeover. Subsequent pregnancies can affect your results, causing you to need revision procedures.

What Plastic Surgeries are in a Mommy Makeover?

At Subbio Plastic Surgery, your Mommy Makeover is customized to you. This allows you to choose any procedure or combination of procedures that Dr. Subbio offers. However, the most common surgeries in a Mommy Makeover are:

Your Mommy Makeover is your procedure to customize as you see fit. It is your chance to restore your body (or even do the things you’ve always dreamed of doing), and Dr. Subbio will help you figure out the best ways to make that happen.

Can I get Pregnant after a Mommy Makeover?

You can, but doing so may affect the results of your Mommy Makeover. A subsequent pregnancy could reverse liposuction or tummy tuck results, and the hormonal changes from pregnancy could alter the size and shape of your breasts.

 

How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost?

Cost estimates vary depending on the exact procedures you want to be performed. During your consultation for a Mommy Makeover Philadelphia plastic surgeon Dr. Subbio will provide you with an estimate detailing the cost of your procedures. Subbio offers multiple financing options for qualified patients, and we will help you find a financing plan that works for you.

Dr. Subbio believes the most important cost to consider is the physical cost. Surgeries like the ones in a Mommy Makeover require some time to dedicate to recovery. Revisional surgeries to correct plastic surgery are expensive and physically demanding. Finding a surgeon you trust who will get it right the first time will save you far more in the long run.

Dr. Subbio does not cut corners or accept “good enough.” He is skilled, caring, and meticulous, and his 5-star results are a testament to his dedication to excellence.

How Can I Prepare Myself and My Family for the Procedure?

During your consultation, Dr. Subbio will detail the exact nature of your recovery, including any temporary physical limitations that may affect you as you heal from your procedure. You will have a clear understanding of the demands of your recovery and will be able to discuss those with your family.

Recovery is incredibly important to your successful Mommy Makeover. By setting realistic expectations for yourself and your family, you can make sure that your support group is ready to help you through your transformation. Dr. Subbio has a very comforting demeanor and can help you come up with ways to explain to your children why it will be important for them to “help mommy” through this process.

 

What Should I Expect During Recovery?

The particulars of your recovery will depend on the procedures you choose to undergo. All of the procedures Dr. Subbio performs during Mommy Makeovers are outpatient procedures; meaning you will be allowed to have someone take you home once you are cleared following surgery, without an overnight stay in the hospital.

Once you are home, your recovery plan begins. Dr. Subbio will work with you to make sure that you have proper aftercare instructions for each procedure. This might sound technical, but Dr. Subbio makes the instructions clear and easy for you and your family to follow. You will likely experience some discomfort as your anesthesia wears off, but Dr. Subbio will prescribe you the necessary medication to manage it.

Depending on the procedures you choose, your recovery could take between a week and six weeks. Dr. Subbio will work with you to make sure that your recovery is as streamlined as possible so that you can get back on your feet.
