Of course, you will want to consider many individual factors such as these and many others:

  • If you are planning on having more children, you may choose to wait to have a tummy tuck or  breast lift.
  • If you plan to lose a significant amount of weight over the next six months or a year, you may want to wait on surgery as well, because of the possibility of producing more extra skin through weight loss.
  • It is important to understand that a Mommy Makeover is not a weight-loss program or bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. When considering elements of a Mommy Makeover, it is helpful to commit to lifestyle changes that contribute to a maintaining a healthy weight and body size.
