What is a mommy makeover?
The mommy makeover is a special, comprehensive treatment concept for mothers. It contains various individual treatments that can be used to correct or optimize the physical changes that have occurred as a result of pregnancy and breastfeeding. Which treatments are involved varies from woman to woman, as every woman has different wishes.
A breast lift and/or tummy tuck are often performed as part of a mommy makeover, often combined with targeted liposuction in certain problem areas. Regardless of which treatment you choose, the mommy makeover always aims to make you feel good about your body after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Who is a mommy makeover suitable for?
A mommy makeover in Stuttgart is a good option for all women who are unhappy with the changes to their body caused by pregnancy and want to "undo" them so that they get their former figure back.
What treatments does a mommy makeover in Stuttgart include?
This varies greatly from person to person, as each mommy makeover in Stuttgart is tailored precisely to the patient's wishes and needs. This can be a breast lift or breast reduction or a slight breast augmentation (with implants or autologous fat), combined with a small or large abdominoplasty and/or liposuction. Depending on the extent of the procedure, several of these treatments can be combined in one operation or performed in succession.
What should you consider before the mommy makeover?
After giving birth, your body has performed at its best. And breastfeeding is also exhausting for the body. You should therefore give it sufficient rest and time to recover from the strain before planning a surgical procedure. There is no one-size-fits-all answer as to when exactly is the right time for a mommy makeover. Listen to yourself and your feelings, because you know yourself and your wishes and needs best. However, we recommend that you plan your mommy makeover in Stuttgart at the earliest after six months, and preferably one year after the end of breastfeeding.
Important for you: The changes achieved with the mommy makeover are usually permanent - as long as your weight and body do not change significantly. You should therefore have reached your feel-good weight before the first procedure and have maintained it for some time. At best, you should have completed your family planning.
You should observe the following instructions for the treatment itself: Discontinue - in consultation with Dr. Schumacher - blood-thinning medication at least 2 weeks beforehand and avoid alcohol and nicotine.
How does the mommy makeover in Stuttgart work?
First, Dr. Schumacher will conduct a detailed consultation with you. During this consultation, you can express your wishes and ideas and define the treatment goal of the mommy makeover together with him. To achieve this, several procedures may be necessary, some of which can be combined. If not, sufficient time will be scheduled between the individual appointments so that you can recover.
Most treatments are performed under general anesthesia, so you will usually stay in our clinic overnight for observation. In some cases, outpatient treatment is also possible. In any case, it takes time for everything to heal and for the final result to be visible. Please observe and follow the relevant aftercare instructions after each treatment to ensure complication-free healing and an optimal result.
What should you consider after a mommy makeover?
You can positively support the healing process and the results of the Mummy Makeover operation by following our aftercare instructions. These may vary depending on the type of procedure and will be explained to you in detail in advance. However, the following applies to all treatments performed as part of a mommy makeover at : Allow yourself to rest and recover, avoid sport and other physically strenuous activities as well as direct sunlight and heat during the initial period. Wear the recommended compression garments after breast surgery and tummy tucks.
What are the risks of a mommy makeover?
Every surgical procedure is associated with general surgical risks such as post-operative bleeding, wound healing disorders or infections. General anesthesia also carries a certain risk. However, thanks to Dr. Schumacher's extensive expertise and many years of experience, who performs every procedure in compliance with the highest hygiene and safety standards, these risks are very low. Of course, we will inform you in detail about possible risks before every operation in Stuttgart.
How much does a mommy makeover in Stuttgart cost?
The cost of a mommy makeover in Stuttgart cannot be quantified in general terms, as each mommy makeover comprises various treatments that can vary in complexity. After a detailed consultation and a preliminary examination, we will create a customized treatment concept for you, for which you will of course also receive a personal offer including a cost plan.
Frequently asked questions about the mommy makeover in Stuttgart
Any procedure that requires incisions will result in scars. This is the case, for example, with breast surgery (reduction, enlargement, tightening) and abdominoplasty. However, Dr. Schumacher attaches great importance to a scar-sparing incision technique and always makes the incisions in a place that is barely visible later, such as in the breast crease or in the underwear area.
Yes, the mommy makeover has no influence on the possibility of a later pregnancy. However, as your body will then change considerably again and the results achieved with a mommy makeover would also change again, we recommend that you only have the treatment carried out once you have already completed your family planning.
This depends on which treatments are carried out and at what intervals. In general, however, you can plan 1-3 hours per procedure.
The individual procedures of a mummy makeover are performed under anesthesia, so you will not feel anything from the operation itself. However, as with any operation, wound pain may occur afterwards. This can vary in severity, but can usually be treated very well with conventional painkillers.
The downtime for a mommy makeover varies depending on the type of procedure. However, with most treatments performed as part of a mommy makeover in Stuttgart, you will be socially acceptable again after just a few days and able to carry out light everyday tasks.
In a personal consultation, Dr. Schumacher will discuss the options available to you for a mommy makeover. Based on your physical characteristics, we will analyze which surgical procedures can be performed at the same time. Normally, the treatments can be carried out in one session, but it may also be necessary to split major surgical procedures into two separate appointments for safety and health reasons.
