Our Post-hospital Care
A mommy makeover is a customized combination of cosmetic procedures designed to restore a woman's body after pregnancy and breastfeeding. The mommy makeover typically includes a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to remove excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles, combined with breast augmentation or breast lift to restore breast volume and position. This post-pregnancy body restoration allows women to regain their pre-pregnancy figure in a single surgical session, with most patients returning to normal activities within 2-3 weeks.
