Safety and risks
Like any surgery, this procedure carries risks such as bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry and anaesthesia-related complications. Combining procedures increases operating time, so your surgeon may recommend staging them. Your surgeon will explain your individual risks and how they are minimised.
Frequently asked questions
Am I a good candidate?
Good candidates are in good general health, non-smokers (or willing to stop), with realistic expectations. Your surgeon decides after assessment.
How long after childbirth should I wait?
Usually 6–12 months after delivery and after breastfeeding has ended.
Will I need help at home?
Yes — plan for help with lifting and childcare for the first weeks.
Is every Mommy Makeover the same?
No — every combination is individually planned.
Surgical procedures require a surgeon consultation and pre-operative assessment. Results and risks vary between individuals.
