What to Expect Before, During, and After a Mommy Makeover

Dr. Siamak Agha of The Aesthetics Centers in Newport Beach walks patients through every stage of the Mommy Makeover journey—from preparation to lasting results.

A Mommy Makeover is more than a cosmetic procedure—it’s a transformative journey that helps women reclaim their shape, strength, and confidence after pregnancy. Understanding what to expect at every stage helps patients feel calm, empowered, and ready for their transformation.

At The Aesthetics Centers in Newport Beach, Dr. Siamak Agha provides a thorough, personalized process that prioritizes preparation, safety, and care. From the first consultation to final results, every detail is designed to ensure comfort and beautiful, natural outcomes.

“Preparation and education are just as important as the surgery itself. When you know what to expect, your recovery and results are exponentially better.”

Before Surgery: Preparing for Your Transformation

Preparation begins with open communication, medical evaluation, and thoughtful planning. Dr. Agha’s process starts with an in-depth consultation that focuses on your body, goals, and expectations.

Key steps before surgery:

1. Personalized Consultation:
   • Dr. Agha will assess your anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine the best combination of procedures (such as tummy tuck, breast lift, or liposuction).
   • You’ll review 3D visualizations of potential outcomes to better understand your personalized plan.
2. Medical Clearance:
   • Comprehensive health evaluation ensures you’re physically ready for surgery.
   • Lab tests, ECG, and other assessments may be requested.
3. Pre-Operative Preparation:
   • Stop smoking at least four weeks before surgery.
   • Avoid certain medications and supplements that can increase bleeding.
   • Arrange help with childcare, transportation, and recovery needs.

Dr. Agha provides each patient with a customized pre-surgery checklist to ensure optimal safety and peace of mind.

During Surgery: The Art and Science of Transformation

The Mommy Makeover typically combines several body rejuvenation procedures into a single session. Dr. Agha’s artistry lies in harmonizing these elements while maintaining precision and safety.

Common combinations include:

• Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Tightens abdominal muscles and removes excess skin.
• Breast Lift or Augmentation: Restores youthful shape and fullness.
• Liposuction: Refines curves and contours to enhance balance.

At The Aesthetics Centers:

• All surgeries are performed in an accredited, state-of-the-art surgical facility in Newport Beach.
• A board-certified anesthesiologist ensures your comfort and safety throughout the procedure.
• Dr. Agha uses advanced suture and closure techniques to minimize tension, reduce scarring, and create a smooth, natural finish.

The entire process typically lasts between 4 and 6 hours, depending on the complexity of your personalized plan.

After Surgery: Healing, Recovery, and Results

Recovery is where your transformation takes shape. While every patient heals differently, Dr. Agha and his team provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth, comfortable process.

Immediately After Surgery:

• You’ll wake up in a private recovery suite with medical supervision.
• Compression garments and surgical dressings will be in place to minimize swelling.
• Dr. Agha personally checks on all patients to ensure their comfort and safety.

First 2 Weeks:

• Rest is key—gentle movement and short walks are encouraged.
• Soreness and tightness gradually fade as healing progresses.
• Patients typically return to light work or daily activities within 2–3 weeks.

Weeks 3–6:

• Swelling continues to subside, and your contours become more defined.
• Breasts settle into their natural position, and incisions begin to soften.
• Light exercise and stretching may resume once cleared by Dr. Agha.

Months 2–6:

• Results continue to refine as your body adjusts and scars mature.
• Patients enjoy their newly sculpted silhouettes, feeling more confident and comfortable than ever.

Maintaining Results Long-Term

Your Mommy Makeover results are designed to last for years—but maintaining them requires commitment to healthy habits.

Dr. Agha’s long-term recommendations:

• Maintain a stable weight.
• Stay active with regular, gentle exercise.
• Follow a balanced diet rich in lean protein and hydration.
• Protect your skin and scars from direct sun exposure.
• Attend follow-up visits to monitor healing and results.

Patients who adopt consistent self-care often find that their results last indefinitely, helping them enjoy their rejuvenated figure and confidence for years to come.
