BODY PROCEDURES
Mommy Makeover
A Mommy Makeover corrects the undesirable side effects of pregnancy including: Diastasis rectus (split abdomen muscle), sagging breasts, undesirable breasts, loose abdominal skin, distortion of the labia, and/or reduction of the labia. After pregnancy many women find their bodies have changed, and no amount of dieting or exercise can restore their figures, but a Mommy Makeover can change everything.

Procedure Planning
A pre-surgical visit with Dr. Wages will be scheduled 2 weeks before your Mommy Makeover surgery to finalize your measurements, confirm implants if you are getting a breast augmentation, review the procedure, complete all paperwork, and get you ready for your surgery which will be performed on an outpatient basis. You will come in the day before your surgery for final markings. If you smoke it is important to quit as smoking affects the healing process.
Experience
You will be guided from initial contact by our team with specific information about your procedure. When we schedule a Mommy Makeover consultation, you will be sent information to read before you meet Dr. Wages. Your consultation includes a comprehensive, thorough examination with bio-dimensional measurements, and a review of the procedure and recovery. We work with you in a team approach to help you achieve your desired outcome.
Recovery
Take it easy the first 24 hours after your Mommy Makesurgery. You will be given specific post-operative instructions by Dr. Wages to follow to ensure a safe and speedy recovery. Immediately after surgery your healing begins, and in the days and weeks to follow your will see your results emerge. You can expect continuous improvement with your full healing in 6-12 months.
“Absolutely worth going through the surgery. I should have done this “years ago”. These are things that I could never have corrected with diet and exercise alone. Dr. Wages and his staff are fantastic!”
