Surgical Techniques
Breast Enhancement
Breast enhancement techniques, such as a breast lift, augmentation, or reduction, are tailored to address issues like sagging, loose skin, and loss of breast volume. For many women, combining a breast lift with augmentation provides the most satisfying results as it helps restore youthful contours and volume to the breasts. If your breasts have remained enlarged post-pregnancy, a reduction may be performed to achieve a more proportional appearance.
Abdominal Contouring
Pregnancy often leaves the abdomen with loose skin, stretch marks, and weakened muscles. To address these issues, Dr. Marosan may perform an abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, which removes excess skin and tightens the underlying muscles for a firmer, flatter abdomen. Liposuction may also be used to remove stubborn fat deposits from the waist and hips, further enhancing your waistline and restoring your pre-pregnancy silhouette.
Body Sculpting
A Mommy Makeover can include body sculpting to address other areas affected by pregnancy, such as the back, thighs, and buttocks. Liposuction is commonly used to remove fat from these areas, smoothing out any irregularities and creating a more contoured, athletic appearance. In some cases, additional skin tightening procedures may be recommended to further refine the body’s contours and eliminate any remaining signs of pregnancy.
Combination Approach
Dr. Marosan often combines multiple surgical techniques into one procedure. This approach not only addresses various problem areas in a single surgery but also reduces the overall recovery time compared to undergoing each procedure separately. By tailoring the surgical plan to your unique body and goals, Dr. Marosan ensures a harmonious, natural-looking transformation that restores your confidence and helps you feel like yourself again.
During Surgery
Dr. Marosan administers intravenous sedation and tumescent anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Dr. Marosan carefully follows your customized surgical plan, addressing each area of concern, such as the breasts, abdomen, and other body parts. He may perform a breast augmentation, a tummy tuck, liposuction, or a combination of multiple procedures to achieve your desired results. The surgery takes 6-7 hours or longer, depending on the complexity. In some cases, the surgery may be staged over multiple sessions to ensure optimal outcomes.
After Surgery
After your Mommy Makeover, you can expect an initial recovery of 7-10 days, during which you’ll need to walk slightly bent at the waist. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common side effects, so take it slow during this phase.
Most patients can return to their normal routine within three weeks, but exercise should be avoided for at least 6-8 weeks. As your body heals, you’ll gradually see the results, which may take 3-6 months or even up to a year to fully appear.

Questions
How Safe is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is considered an invasive procedure due to the combination of surgeries performed. While combining procedures does increase overall risks, choosing an experienced surgeon like Dr. Marosan reduces the likelihood of complications. With his extensive training and skill in performing multiple surgeries in one setting, you can feel confident that your safety is a top priority and complications are rare under his care.
Should I Wait Until After Having Children?
Yes, it’s highly recommended that you complete your family before undergoing a Mommy Makeover. Pregnancy after the procedure can compromise the results, leading to additional skin stretching and weight gain that may undo the benefits of the surgery. If you’re unsure about having more children, discuss your concerns with Dr. Marosan, who can help you decide the best approach for your situation.
Will Stretch Marks Be Removed?
A Mommy Makeover can minimize the appearance of stretch marks, especially if they are located on areas where excess skin is removed, such as the abdomen. The tightening of the skin and underlying tissues during abdominoplasty can make remaining stretch marks less noticeable. For further improvement, skin rejuvenation treatments like Thermitight or Renuvion can be used after surgery to enhance skin tightness and reduce the visibility of stretch marks.
Will I Have Scars After Surgery?
Scarring is an inevitable part of any surgery, including a Mommy Makeover. The most common areas for scarring are the breasts and abdomen, particularly after a breast lift or tummy tuck. However, Dr. Marosan takes great care in minimizing scarring by placing incisions in discreet locations. For instance, the breast lift may use a short scar technique, and the abdominoplasty incision is placed low, near the pubic bone, making it easy to conceal with undergarments or swimwear. Over time, with proper care, these scars will fade significantly.
How Long Will My Results Last?
The results of a Mommy Makeover are long-lasting, but they are not immune to the effects of aging, weight fluctuations, or future pregnancies. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle can help preserve your results for many years. Dr. Marosan will provide guidance on how to care for your body post-surgery to maximize the longevity of your new contours.
