Mommy Makeover Series: Preparing for Your Consultation
Has pregnancy taken its toll on your body? Creating life is a magical experience, but after pregnancy is over, the changes to your body are often unappreciated. Don’t keep unwanted “souvenirs” from your pregnancies. Keep your memories and get rid of stretch marks, loose skin, and sagging breasts. With a mommy makeover, you can get your body back after baby.
If you’re interested in a mommy makeover, your consultation is one of the first steps you’ll need to take. Call us to schedule yours. This guide will help you prepare.
Choosing the Right Surgeon
Before you can schedule your mommy makeover consultation, you’ll need to narrow down your list of potential surgeons. Look for the following characteristics as you choose your plastic surgeon:
- Board Certification– Doctors must demonstrate superior training, skill, and education to receive board certification. Look for a board certified plastic surgeon any time you’re considering plastic surgery.
- Experience Performing Mommy Makeovers– A mommy makeover typically consists of several plastic surgery procedures including tummy tuck, breast augmentation, breast lift, liposuction, etc. Look for a surgeon that has experience performing all the procedures you’re considering. Our surgeons have more than 50 years of combined experience.
- Excellent Patient Reviews– Patient reviews and testimonials can give you valuable insight into your future surgical experience. Take some time to read patient reviews and to look at before/after photos.
Once you’ve chosen a potential surgeon, contact their offices to schedule your consultation. You can schedule one with us by calling 704-659-9000.
