Atlanta Plastic Surgeons on How to Prepare for a Mommy Makeover

Alexandra Hart, MD, FACS and John Connors, MD, FACS – two board-certified plastic surgeons in Atlanta – discuss preparation for a mommy makeover procedure.

ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, March 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Mommy makeover procedures have grown in popularity over the years as more and more women consider ways to improve aesthetic changes to their bodies that can be caused by pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and the physical rigors of raising children. Drs. John Connors and Alexandra Hart, both prominent figures in the Atlanta plastic surgery community, state that many patients at their practice who have chosen a mommy makeover to achieve their cosmetic enhancement goals have restored their pre-pregnancy bodies with results that not only renew their appearance, but also their self-confidence.

With this in mind, Dr. Hart and Dr. Connors encourage patients to think carefully before undergoing this major surgery and plan accordingly for best results. Below, they have provided guidelines for patients considering a personalized mommy makeover treatment.

• Identify goals and needs. Prior to pursuing a mommy makeover, Dr. Connors and Dr. Hart advise patients to know what they want to achieve through this procedure. For instance, mothers frequently want to repair stretched abdominal muscles and skin with tummy tuck surgery or combat breast sagging with a breast lift.

• Be physically and emotionally ready. Dr. Hart and Dr. Connors state that candidates for a mommy makeover should be in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, be non-smokers, and have completed childbearing and breastfeeding.

• Plan a recovery timeline. Depending on the incorporated treatments, mommy makeover recovery can take several weeks. As such, Dr. Connors and Dr. Hart recommend that patients arrange for at least two weeks off work and avoid strenuous activities for four to six weeks. Since lifting restrictions will be in place, assistance with childcare, household tasks, and daily activities should also be planned in advance.

• Meet with a reputable plastic surgeon. Dr. Hart and Dr. Connors urge prospective patients to research board-certified plastic surgeons with extensive experience in mommy makeover procedures. During a preoperative appointment, patients can discuss their aesthetic concerns, review surgical options, and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to their unique goals.

Moreover, Dr. Connors and Dr. Hart encourage patients considering a mommy makeover to advocate for themselves and be assertive in asking any questions that may arise. They emphasize that open and transparent communication plays a key role in achieving the best possible mommy makeover experience.
