How long should I wait after giving birth before getting a Mommy Makeover?

The answer to this question is different from one person to the next, but it is generally recommended that patients wait at least 6 months after giving birth to schedule a Mommy Makeover. This allows your body to heal and your weight to stabilize.

Can I breastfeed after a Mommy makeover?

It is often possible to breastfeed after certain breast procedures, such as a breast lift or breast reduction. However, a breast augmentation with implants may affect your ability to breastfeed. Additionally, if you find breastfeeding uncomfortable during your recovery period, it may be difficult to maintain breastfeeding or pumping until you have healed, which could have an impact on how long you will be able to breastfeed.

How long is a Mommy Makeover surgery recovery time?

The recovery period following a Mommy Makeover can vary from one person to the next, especially depending upon which procedures were performed. In general, most patients will need to take 1-2 weeks off work and limit strenuous activity for 4-6 weeks. Parents of young children should try to have someone available who can perform physical tasks associated with parenting, including lifting, crawling, kneeling, and stretching.

How much does a Mommy Makeover surgery cost in Milwaukee?

It is difficult to give an estimate of how much a Mommy Makeover will cost, because the total is dependent upon which surgeries you choose. Fewer surgeries will result in a lower cost, but more surgeries at once will shorten your overall recovery time because you will recover from them simultaneously. For a procedure with multiple surgeries, you can expect a baseline price of around $22,000 – $26,000. Please speak with your surgeon during your consultation to understand your options based on your budget.

Where can I get a Mommy Makeover in the Milwaukee area?

Quintessa has five convenient locations in the Milwaukee area. You will find our offices in Brookfield, Delafield, Mequon, Middleton, and Sheboygan.

Will I have visible scarring after a Mommy Makeover surgery?

Some scarring is inevitable after surgical procedures like a tummy tuck or breast augmentation. However, the plastic surgeons at Quintessa are skilled at placing incisions where they are least likely to be seen, such as below the bikini line. We use state-of-the-art techniques to minimize scarring as much as possible.

Is it really safe to get multiple procedures done at one time?

In general, it is safe to combine procedures into a single Mommy Makeover. However, our team at Quintessa will determine if you are a good candidate for some or all of the procedures that can be done in a Mommy Makeover. The Mommy Makeover approach is safely practiced by plastic surgeons around the world as a convenient way to address multiple trouble areas with only one recovery period.

How long do the results of a Mommy Makeover last?

The results of a Mommy Makeover will last for many years, with appropriate diet and exercise. Maintaining your weight is an important part of preserving your surgical results for as long as possible. The aging process and additional pregnancies can also have an impact on your Mommy Makeover’s longevity.

Q: What does a Mommy Makeover surgery include?

A Mommy Makeover is customizable to your specific and unique needs. It is typically a combination of procedures that address pregnancy-related changes. Most Mommy Makeovers target areas like the breasts, abdomen, waist, labia, and buttocks.

The joys and rewards of motherhood often leave their mark on a woman’s body. As much as we want to celebrate the amazing process of childbearing, we understand you may want to restore the confidence you once had by reclaiming your physique.

A Mommy Makeover in Milwaukee is a fully customized combination of procedures designed to address the physical changes many women experience after pregnancy and childbirth. Depending on your specific concerns, it can include breast enhancement, body contouring, and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck).

Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) targets multiple areas at once by removing loose lower abdominal skin and fat, using liposuction to contour the flanks, and tightening weakened abdominal muscles to restore core strength. The result is a flatter, more defined, and aesthetically pleasing midsection.

To explore your Mommy Makeover options, schedule a consultation at one of our locations in the greater Milwaukee and Madison areas. We’re happy to provide general pricing information based on your individual goals.

You’ll find Quintessa offices in five convenient Milwaukee-area locations: Delafield, Brookfield, Mequon, Middleton, and Sheboygan.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Which cosmetic procedures are commonly included in a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover at Quintessa usually consists of a number of operations designed to rebuild the body following pregnancy. The most popular parts are liposuction to reshape areas like the waist, hips, or thighs, breast lift or augmentation to restore shape and volume, and a stomach tuck to tighten abdominal muscles and remove extra skin. It may also involve procedures like skin tightening or labiaplasty, depending on your objectives. The precise mix is constantly customized to fit your unique needs and desires.

Can I customize my Mommy Makeover to include specific treatments like a tummy tuck or breast lift?

Yes, your Mommy Makeover at Quintessa is completely customizable. During your consultation with one of our board certified surgeons, we’ll discuss your specific concerns—whether it’s abdominal laxity, deflated breasts, or stubborn fat deposits—and tailor the surgical plan accordingly. If a tummy tuck or, lets’ say, a breast lift is a priority for you, we can absolutely build your treatment around those procedures. The goal is to design a plan that aligns with your anatomy, goals, and recovery preferences.

How long does a Mommy Makeover procedure take, and is it done in one session?

A Mommy Makeover at Quintessa is typically performed in one surgical session, which usually takes 3 to 5 hours. However, the time depends on the procedures involved. Combining surgeries into a single operation not only minimizes your overall downtime but also reduces the number of times you need anesthesia. During your consultation, our experts will give you a more specific time estimate based on your custom surgical plan.

What is the recovery timeline for a Mommy Makeover?

Depending on the operations you have, recovery from a Mommy Makeover might vary, but typically patients require 10 to 14 days off from work or other everyday obligations. It may take four to six weeks to fully recover, particularly from more physically taxing activities. At Quintessa, we offer thorough post-operative instructions and are on hand to make sure everything goes as planned during your recuperation. During the first week, it is highly advised to have assistance at home.

Are non-surgical options available for a less invasive Mommy Makeover?

Yes, if you’re not ready for surgery, Quintessa offers non-surgical body contouring treatments like Emsculpt and other skin-tightening technologies that can improve muscle tone and reduce fat without incisions. While these options don’t replace surgical results, they can be a great choice for women looking to ease back into body rejuvenation or maintain surgical results. We’ll help you decide what makes the most sense based on your goals and timeline.

Is there an age limit for undergoing a Mommy Makeover procedure?

There’s no strict age limit for a Mommy Makeover at Quintessa. What matters more is your overall health, medical history, and whether you’re done having children. We see patients in their 30s through their 50s and beyond. As long as you’re healthy and have realistic expectations, age alone won’t disqualify you from surgery. We’ll evaluate all of this during your consultation to ensure you’re a safe candidate.

What can I expect during my initial Mommy Makeover consultation at Quintessa?

Your initial Mommy Makeover consultation at Quintessa is an in-depth, one-on-one conversation with one of our board-certified surgeons. We’ll review your medical history, discuss your body concerns and goals, and perform a physical exam to determine the best combination of procedures. You’ll also learn about surgical techniques, recovery expectations, and get a detailed quote. It’s a collaborative, judgment-free process designed to help you make a confident, informed decision.
