What to Expect at your Consultation

When you visit Peninsula Plastic Surgery, Dr. Perrotta, Dr. Luppens, or Dr. Kerestes will dedicate time to understanding your goals and evaluating your anatomy through a focused physical exam. Afterward, your surgeon will outline preliminary recommendations tailored to your needs and expectations.

Once your surgical plan is confirmed, our aesthetic coordinator will provide you with a clear written quote detailing your mommy makeover cost, including all surgical and anesthesia fees—so there are no surprises. At this time, your pre-op appointment will also be scheduled.

Pre-Op Visit

Your pre-operative appointment covers all the essentials to get you fully prepared. One of our experienced medical assistants will take pre-op photos for reference. Then, your surgeon will walk you through the surgical steps and provide a detailed explanation of potential risks and what to expect post-op.

Although all surgeries carry some risk, major complications are rare. The surgeon will take a complete medical history and conduct a final physical exam, including a vital sign check to ensure you’re fit for surgery. At this visit, we’ll finalize consent forms and collect any remaining balance. You’ll receive a call 24 hours prior to your procedure with your arrival time.

The Mommy Makeover Procedure

During your mommy makeover surgery, you will be under general anesthesia. In many cases, healthy patients can return home the same day. However, if there are additional health concerns or more complex surgical plans, an overnight hospital stay may be recommended.

The surgical sequence generally starts with breast enhancement and is followed by the tummy tuck. If needed, liposuction is performed to refine the waistline, hips, or thighs. The procedure usually lasts between 4 to 5 hours. After surgery, you’ll be fitted with compression garments for both the breasts and abdomen to support healing.

Post-Op Recovery

Following your surgery, you will spend approximately one hour in the recovery area before being discharged to go home.

For the breasts: The initial dressing should remain in place until your first follow-up appointment, at which time your surgeon will evaluate your healing progress.
For the abdomen: It is important to keep your hips and knees slightly flexed at all times during the first 1 to 2 weeks to reduce tension on your incisions and promote healing.

You will be fitted with a post-surgical compression garment that helps control swelling, supports deep muscle repair, and improves your overall comfort during recovery. Light walking indoors is encouraged beginning the day after surgery, and most patients can resume light daily activities within 5 to 7 days.

If your procedure involves only skin tightening (no muscle repair), you may be able to return to light work duties within 10 to 14 days, and resume more strenuous activities, including exercise, by 3 to 4 weeks post-op.
If your abdominal muscles were also repaired, you should avoid strenuous activity for at least 6 weeks to allow proper healing and prevent complications.

You will attend several follow-up appointments so your surgeon can monitor your recovery, ensure your incisions are healing properly, and address any concerns or adjustments needed throughout the healing process.
