Is a Mommy Makeover painful?

Pain levels can vary from patient to patient, but it is normal to experience some discomfort following a Mommy Makeover procedure. Dr. Ingram will prescribe some temporary pain medications to alleviate any symptoms. We will also provide you with some instructions on how to make your healing experience more comfortable.

How many appointments will I need?

The number of appointments required for a Mommy Makeover can vary depending on the specific procedures included in your treatment plan. In most cases, a Mommy Makeover involves multiple procedures performed in a single surgical session. This helps minimize downtime and achieve comprehensive results. In general, Dr. Ingram would like to see you one week after your procedure and then again during the two-week initial recovery period. However, the exact number of appointments required will depend on the complexity of your case.

How long until I see results?

It is important to be patient through recovery and understand that in the first few weeks, bruising and swelling might hide the results of the procedure. For instance, if you had any body contouring, it might take a few weeks to a few months to see the finished results, and if you received any augmentations, it would take a few months for your altered body area to settle into its resting position. Most Nashville, TN patients should expect it to be several months before they will look their best post-surgery, however, each patient can have a different timeline. Dr. Ingram will always let you know how he feels you are doing with your recovery process.

Can I combine my Mommy Makeover with other procedures?

Absolutely! However, a Mommy Makeover is already a combination of several different body contouring procedures, which can consist of a Tummy Tuck, Breast Lift, Breast Augmentation, or even non-surgical treatments such as BOTOX or Dermal Fillers. If you would like to hear Dr. Ingram’s expert suggestions for a specific procedure that you feel could be a good fit, we encourage you to raise your ideas and concerns during the consultation.

What are the risks associated with a Mommy Makeover?

Given that a Mommy Makeover usually consists of multiple surgical procedures, there are of course potential risks and side effects that you should be aware of. These can include, but are not limited to: Anesthesia risks Asymmetry Blood clots Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) Breast implant illness (BII) Capsular contracture Contour deformity Fat embolization Fat necrosis Hematoma Implant leak Inability to breastfeed Infection Loss of nipple sensation Persistent pain Poor healing of incisions Recurrent looseness of skin Seroma Unfavorable scarring Breast implant illness (BII) Patient safety is of the utmost priority for Dr. Ingram.
