We will guide you through the process of caring for your drains, making it easy and hassle-free. Rest assured, the drains are typically removed in our office after 7-10 days, and you can expect minimal to no discomfort. Your comfort and well-being are our top priorities.
Concerned about scars?
It’s fascinating how healing can vary from person to person, even with the same surgical techniques. While Dr. Stephenson employs the best methods to minimize scarring, it’s crucial to acknowledge that some individuals may have more prominent healed incisions or hypertrophic scar (wide healed incisions with or without pigment). That’s why Dr. Stephenson focuses on concealing the healed incisions within the lines of a woman’s preferred underwear or bikini bottom style, ensuring they are as discreet as possible
Are the results of a mommy makeover permanent?
The results can be long-lasting if you maintain a stable weight, follow a healthy lifestyle, and do not have any more pregnancies.

A good candidate is someone in good overall health, has realistic expectations, and is looking to correct physical changes from pregnancy that cannot be addressed through diet and exercise alone.
Can a Mommy Makeover help with stretch marks?
While a tummy tuck can remove some stretch marks located on the excised skin, it is not a complete solution for all stretch marks.
How much does a mommy makeover cost?
Costs vary widely based on the procedures selected and the complexity of your case. A detailed quote will be provided after your consultation.

Breastfeeding may be possible after breast surgery, depending on the type of procedure performed. It’s important to discuss your breastfeeding plans with Dr. Stephenson during your consultation.

How do I schedule a consultation for a mommy makeover?
You can schedule a consultation by contacting our office directly. We look forward to helping you start your transformation journey.
Curious about the anesthesia for a mommy makeover?
Dr. Stephenson and his exceptional team of anesthesiologists typically use general anesthesia. Their extensive experience allows them to carefully coordinate the anesthesia with the surgery, ensuring the perfect balance of medications for a safe and comfortable procedure.
Will I need lymphatic massages?
At ESJ Aesthetics, we understand that the use of lymphatic massages a can be a topic of debate. However, Dr. Stephenson firmly believes in the benefits of these treatments for our clients. Lymphatic massages have been proven to reduce prolonged swelling, soften the skin, and alleviate soreness. We typically recommend starting these treatments around 10 days after your procedure to ensure optimal results. Rest assured, Dr. Stephenson has established strong relationships with certified lymphatic massage therapists who are dedicated to meeting your specific needs. We are committed to providing you with the best care possible, and incorporating these beneficial treatments into your recovery journey
What should I do to prevent scars?
The quality of your healed surgical incision is mostly determined by genetics and your body’s response to surgery. It is not clear how much applying products to scars will influence their final appearance, but most patients want to do something. Some products that have received positive patient feedback include Scar Guard (a liquid containing steroid, Vitamin E, and silicone), silicone gel strips (such as Neosporin scar strips), and silicone ointment (such as Scar Fade). You can obtain these products from our office and start using them as directed by Dr. Stephenson
Is there bruising and if so, how long does it last?
Usually there is a little bit of bruising on and around the breast, but it is typically very mild and is all gone by ten days to two weeks. This duration of bruising can be shortened by using Arnica and Bromelain tablets starting 3 days prior to surgery and continuing for 5-7 days after surgery
Will I have a special bra or garment to wear after the surgery? How long will I have to wear it?
Initially, you will have surgical dressings and an abdominal binder that will be removed at your first appointment. Use of the abdominal binder will continue for 1-10 days to assure that your skin is not injured due to significant compression. Our team will give your compression garment that it is easy to take on and off after surgery, and it will provide a gentle amount of compression. All tummy tuck clients feel more comfortable with a garment. It is normal for the skin to ooze a bit for about four or five days after surgery. Dr. Stephenson recommends the use of gauze pads or pantie liners to tuck placed along the incision to absorb this.
When do the stitches need to be removed?
For a standard tummy tuck and breast procedure, the stitches will dissolve on their own.
What do I have to do to care for the incision?
- It is okay to shower 48 hours after surgery and get the incision wet.
- Gently wash your breasts and tummy with a soapy washcloth to remove any small crusting.
- After showering, blot the incisions dry and reapply fresh gauze or panty liners.
- Apply a rich moisturizer all over your breasts, but avoid putting it over the incisions.
How soon can I go to work after a mommy makeover?
When you feel ready to do your job is highly individualized. So long as your work doesn’t involve straining and heavy lifting, you can expect to be back to work after no later than 2 weeks with some medically based activity restrictions.
When can I drive after a mommy makeover?
You can drive when you are off all narcotic pain medication and feel totally unrestricted by your discomfort such that you could make any movement you might need to safely drive your car. The timeline is different for each client. Dr. Stephenson typically recommends 2 weeks after surgery.
When can I resume exercise after a mommy makeover?
Dr. Stephenson suggests you wait a minimum of 4 weeks to be sure that everything is healed. He recommends you wait 8 weeks before core exercises are started. There is always a chance of causing bleeding if you start much before that time. When you start, listen to your body. You will be a little out of condition and a bit sore but you will get back to where you were before surgery very quickly.
Does not being able to exercise then exclude sex?
Sex can be resumed as you feel comfortable. Most often patients hit their level of comfort in 14 days. Again, respect the fact that you have undergone surgery and try to avoid the manipulation of the incisions.
When can I travel by airplane after a mommy makeover?
Long air travel (greater than 1 and ½ hours) should be avoided during the first 4 weeks after surgery to reduce the rare possible of a blood forming in the legs during air travel. Other issues involved have to do with the difficulty of getting through airports these days, and whether you are going somewhere where there is a plastic surgeon to look after you or should you have questions or problems or just need to be looked at by an experienced doctor. These issues are usually very individualized, and you should discuss them with Dr. Stephenson.
When can I lift my child?
This is tricky. Unfortunately, your child does not understand your restrictions. Your child still needs your love and attention. If you have support from a partner, family member and/ or friend then they can lift and place your child in your arms. If your child is cooperative and weighs up 10 to 35 pounds, Dr, Stephenson recommends waiting 10-14 days, if at all possible. Don’t try to pick up your child if he or she is upset.
When can I shower/take a bath after a mommy makeover?
You can take a shower the day after surgery. You should wait about three weeks before taking a bath so that your incisions are somewhat healed.
What is my post-operative appointment schedule?
Dr. Stephenson wants to see everyone 48 hours after surgery to be sure that everything is okay. We offer patients frequent visits thereafter, usually at one week, one month, six months, one year, and yearly thereafter. But some patients will come more frequently, some less frequently. We do not charge for these visits. Some people have little questions they want answered, and other people feel fine on their own. But he is always available for a patient who wants to come in. It is not uncommon for breast reduction patients to have a “spitting stitch” or a small area here or there of delayed healing that he will need to see. So, the visits are more on an “on or if-needed” basis than anything specific.
Will I get a phone call from the doctor the night of my surgery?
Dr. Stephenson will personally call you on the night of your surgery. He will also provide you with his personal cell phone and email address so that you can reach him directly if needed.
What should you keep an eye on after my mommy makeover?
If you experience sudden and painful swelling, it could indicate bleeding. It is crucial to inform Dr. Stephenson right away to receive prompt medical attention. After surgery, you will have drains in place. If you notice that the drains are filling with clots and not draining properly, please notify the doctor. This could be a sign of concern and should be addressed promptly. It is essential to be vigilant for any signs of a blood clot. If you experience calf pain, swelling in one leg, or shortness of breath, these are serious symptoms that require immediate medical attention. In the case of shortness of breath, call 911 without delay. Your safety is our utmost priority, and Dr. Stephenson and his staff will provide you with detailed pre and post-operative instructions to guide you through your recovery process.
