Techniques
The Procedure Process
A mommy makeover is customized for each patient, depending on their specific needs. The process typically involves:
Consultation
Discuss your goals with a board-certified plastic surgeon to create a personalized treatment plan.
Surgical Preparation
Pre-operative instructions, lab tests, and assessments ensure you're ready for surgery.
Procedure Day
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and can last several hours depending on the combination of procedures.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery time varies based on the extent of the procedures performed. Patients can expect:
- Initial Downtime: Most patients need 2-4 weeks for recovery, with limitations on physical activities.
- Pain Management: Some discomfort and swelling are normal, and prescribed medication can help manage symptoms.
- Compression Garments: Worn to minimize swelling and support healing.
- Follow-Up Appointments: Regular visits to monitor progress and healing.
Results
Results gradually appear as swelling subsides, typically within a few months. Final results can be seen around 6-12 months post-surgery. Patients can enjoy long-lasting outcomes when maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
Risks and Considerations
While a mommy makeover can provide dramatic improvements, all surgical procedures carry risks. Potential risks include:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Scarring
- Changes in sensation
- Asymmetry
A thorough consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will help you understand the benefits and risks to make an informed decision.
Testimonials
Real Patient Testimonials/Reviews
Dr. Downs and The Centre, P.C. staff are wonderful to work with
Dr. Downs and The Centre, P.C. staff are wonderful to work with for questions/concerns prior to and after surgery during recovery period. Dr. Downs consults with patient prior to surgery to confirm understanding of what results are important to them.
Additionally, Dr. Downs personally follows up after surgery to ensure that things are going well after discharge which I was extremely impressed by. The office/surgical center provides a more discrete and personalized patient environment with a separate door entrance for the follow-up appointment the day after surgery as well.

I’m so happy Dr Downs is who I decided to go to for this surgery.
It has been officially 5 week since my tummy tuck and breast lift. After losing 150lbs I knew I needed this done but never thought it would be possible. After meeting with Dr. Downs and his team my dreams started to seem like reality. Five weeks ago we completed 1 of my 2 suggested surgery’s. My recovery so far has been extremely easy with little to no pain. Dr. Downs has been just the best. He took his time and explained every part of my surgery and what I could expect. It was a pleasant surprise to wake up from surgery and find out he didn’t have to make the vertical incision down my stomach due to all the my weight loss, and lose skin. I’m so happy Dr. Downs is who I decided to go to for this surgery. Can’t wait for him to complete my project.
Dr Downs has an amazing staff!
I was referred to The Centre by the on call hand Doctor that reviewed my ER case after I split my thumb open. From setting up my appointment to being taken care of by the staff, it was a pleasant experience. Each member of the team I met was attentive, very forthright with any information I needed & were an absolute pleasure to be around. Dr. Downs has an amazing staff!
