Mommy Makeover FAQs

  • How Do I Know Which Procedures I Need?

    A mommy makeover typically includes a tummy tuck and breast surgery, and may also involve liposuction or other contouring procedures. Your plan is customized based on the areas that concern you most. Dr. Isakson will help you understand what combination of procedures can safely and effectively achieve your goals.

  • How Long Should I Wait After Having a Baby?

    Most patients wait at least six months to a year after giving birth, and ideally until they are finished breastfeeding. Your body needs time to heal, and your results will be more predictable once weight and hormone levels stabilize. During your consultation, Dr. Isakson will help determine the right timing for you.

  • Can I Still Have Children After Surgery?

    Yes, future pregnancy is possible, but the results of your mommy makeover may change with a new pregnancy. If you feel your family is complete, you may be more satisfied with the long-term outcome. Dr. Isakson can discuss timing and planning to help you choose the most appropriate moment for surgery.

  • How Long Does Recovery Take?

    Recovery depends on how many procedures you choose. Most patients need two to three weeks before returning to light activities and a few more weeks before resuming full exercise. Dr. Isakson provides a detailed recovery plan and checks in frequently to make sure you feel supported.

  • Will There Be Scars?

    All surgical procedures leave scars, but Dr. Isakson places incisions as discreetly as possible and provides guidance on scar care. Scars soften and fade with time. Most patients feel the improvement in their shape and comfort far outweighs the presence of scars.

  • Is It Worth It?

    Many women describe their mommy makeover as one of the most meaningful choices they have made for themselves. The combination of procedures can restore confidence, improve comfort, and help you feel more in tune with your body again. For many patients, it is less about looking different and more about recognizing themselves after the physical changes of pregnancy.
