What it is
Childbearing can take a toll on a woman’s body. The Mommy Makeover is a tailored combination of surgeries such as Breast Lift and/or Augmentation, Abdominoplasty and Liposuction. Each personalized combination is strategically performed to address the body areas affected by pregnancy such as the abdomen, breasts, buttocks, genitalia and waist. Because no two Mommy Makeovers are the same, it is important to consult with Dr Rizis to find the combination that is right for you.
Mommy Makeovers are personalized combinations of surgeries that may include:

Post-Op Care
Mommy Makeovers are combinations of day surgeries. You will therefore be home on the first night and for the remainder of your recovery. Occasionally, patients stay in the recovery room overnight, but are never kept more than 24 hours. Dr Rizis will see you within the first 3 to 5 days to remove sutures and bandages as well as to assess your scars. Recovery continues for a few weeks until the swelling has significantly subsided. It may take 2 to 3 months for the body to feel "back to normal" in terms of texture, sensibility and loss of tightness. Most patients resume normal activities such as work, driving, and showering within the first 10-15 days.
Potential Risks & Complications
Although unlikely, all surgical procedures pose potential health risks. During the pre-operative consultation, Dr Rizis will go over all possible risks and complications as well as pertinent procedure information.
