Mommy Makeover in Mountain View, Los Gatos, & Morgan Hill, CA

A Mommy Makeover, also known as a mommy lift, is becoming a more popular procedure performed by Dr. Shahin Fazilat for moms who observe, especially after childbirth, that their bodies have changed in undesirable ways. For example, you may experience a protruding belly with extra loose skin and stretch marks, as well as deflated, sagging breasts after breastfeeding.

Mommy Makeover: Restore Your Body

These problems may be corrected with a mommy makeover procedure, which is a phrase for combining a breast operation with a body operation for your abdomen. Typically, a Mommy Makeover includes performing a tummy tuck, liposuction, and/or breast surgery (breast augmentation and/or breast lift or breast reduction ). Each surgery may be performed either at the same time or staged to suit your schedule, needs, and safety.

The SF | Bay Area Plastic Surgery Difference

Once you have booked your surgery, our office will coordinate the location and time of your Mommy Makeover surgery. You will receive a pre-operative appointment, which is typically two weeks before your surgery. During this appointment, you will be given instructions for your surgery, as well as any medical request forms for necessary blood work or related medical tests. Dr. Fazilat will also take any pre-operative photos and review your planned procedure(s), so you can ask any final questions. Our office will contact you by phone or by email to review your instructions and your health history. Mommy Makeover surgery is a common procedure that Dr. Fazilat performs in his practice.

Typically, operations are performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia with a certified anesthesiologist; surgical times are 1.5 to 3 hours per procedure, so Dr. Fazilat recommends combining two procedures––for the breast and the abdomen––at the same time. During surgery, Dr. Fazilat will remove and/or tighten loose and sagging skin from the abdomen and/or breasts. During the procedure, the incisions are placed in concealed locations and closed meticulously to achieve the best possible results. Some of Dr. Fazilat’s patients also have their Mommy Makeover surgery combined with other procedures, such as laser liposuction to provide moms with a more youthful appearance.
