Have you been considering a mommy makeover procedure, but unsure if it’s the right choice for you? Before embarking on this transformative journey, it’s important that you ask the right questions and be fully informed on what to expect from the experience. Here are five questions to consider before undergoing a mommy makeover:
Am I a good candidate for a mommy makeover?
Before scheduling a consultation, it’s essential to assess whether you are a suitable candidate for a mommy makeover. Factors such as overall health, post-pregnancy weight loss, and the impact of previous pregnancies on your body should all be considered. It is recommended that you be near or at your goal weight before surgery to better optimize your long-term results.
