Understanding the Mommy Makeover Procedure

Pregnancy and childbirth can significantly transform a woman's body, causing changes in abdominal muscles, skin elasticity, and breast volume. A Mommy Makeover provides a comprehensive surgical approach to restore and rejuvenate body contours after these transformative life experiences.

What Comprises a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of surgical procedures typically targeting two primary areas: the abdomen and breasts. These procedures are designed to address specific post-pregnancy body changes, helping women regain their pre-pregnancy silhouette.

Abdominal Enhancement Options

  • Full Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
  • Mini Tummy Tuck
  • Liposuction

Breast Enhancement Procedures

  • Breast Augmentation
  • Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
  • Breast Reduction
  • Combination Augmentation-Lift

Ideal Candidates for Mommy Makeover in Walnut Creek

Candidates for a Mommy Makeover are typically women who have completed childbearing and breastfeeding, are at a stable weight, and desire to restore their pre-pregnancy body contours. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Mele will determine the most appropriate surgical plan.

Procedure Preparation

Preparation involves a thorough medical evaluation, discussing surgical goals, and understanding recovery expectations. Patients will receive personalized instructions regarding medication management, lifestyle modifications, and post-surgical care.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery varies depending on the specific procedures performed. Most patients can return to light activities within several weeks, with full recovery taking approximately 6-8 weeks. Dr. Mele provides comprehensive post-operative guidance to ensure optimal healing.

Cost Considerations

Mommy Makeover costs vary based on the combination of procedures selected. During the consultation, a detailed cost estimate will be provided, encompassing surgical fees, anesthesia, facility costs, and necessary post-surgical garments.

I chose this place based off the reviews and seeing Dr. Mele appear on the news stating how he specializes in Blepharoplasty surgery. The staff was great and Dr. Mele seemed confident in knowing how to correct my problem. After the surgery I could start to tell a difference in appearance, however I still had some concerns. During my post op visits I would tell Dr. Mele that there are double creases in my eyes now and they are not even. Also one side still had excess skin that I felt could be removed. However Dr. Mele told me the double lines should go away and to not alter the other side as the incision line would be longer. As a surgeon I figured he knows whats best, but I am not completely satisfied with these results after 3 yrs of healing. My eyes are completely uneven and there are so many lines. When I smile I have crease in the corner now. I almost feel like I should’ve kept my fat pad of eyes for over 3k of work.

One of the best decisions I have made in 2023, Thank you Dr. Mele and staff for being so kind and patience with me. I love the removal of my extra weight on my stomach. Impress with how my clothes fit, can't wait for spring and summer, dresses, shorts. and clothing that flow, no more midsection, stopping clothing from flowing, hello baggy pants and loose dresses.

Dr. Mele is an exceptional surgeon who I can’t recommend enough. It’s really Dr. Mele’s commitment to excellence that sets him apart from other surgeons. I am a bit of a worrier especially when it comes to something as critical as my health. This however has not been an issue with Dr. Mele and his phenomenal administrative team. When I have a concern Dr. Mele not only listens but also makes time available to see me in person. This is your body, you want a surgeon that understands their job is not only to operate but ensure success after surgery. I can’t speak highly enough of Dr. Mele’s selfless approach to his time. It is truly admirable. Surgery is inherently frightening but with such a dedicated group of professionals, I feel reassured at every step. This is the kind of operation where you want to be early to your appointment just to spend time with the administrative staff. I feel so incredibly lucky to have found a not only an exceptional surgeon but equally talented support staff.
