Having Realistic Expectations

The results you achieve from a Mommy Makeover can be amazing. Sagging and possibly volume-depleted breasts, excess skin gathering below the navel, and extra weight around the hips can all be addressed during your surgery. Your "transformation" can change the way others see you and, perhaps most importantly, how you see yourself.

But, as with any cosmetic procedure, it is vital to have realistic expectations. The place to start is with accurate information from your doctor about what is possible for you. For example, regaining the exact figure you had when you were 22 or even 32 might not be realistic or possible through surgery. 

Dr. Greg Ratliff and the Plastic Surgery Center of Tulsa staff see women from throughout the region everyday. When you visit, you will receive valuable information based on years of clinical experience. You will understand exactly what is possible for you. You can observe what others have achieved. And you will see why patients have confidence in our team and in our results.

You are an vital member of your own healthcare team. Your choices before a Mommy Makeover are critically important. After surgery, your lifestyle choices, such as eating right, exercising, and controlling stress, can help you achieve and maintain the appearance you desire.
