Completing your Mommy Makeover is just the beginning of your transformation. While the physical changes can be life-changing, maintaining your results is crucial to ensuring that you continue to feel your best for years to come. At Dermatology + Plastic Surgery in Melbourne, FL, we’re committed to supporting you throughout your recovery and beyond, offering expert guidance to help you preserve your beautiful results. Here are some of our top tips for maintaining your Mommy Makeover results.
Your recovery starts with following the aftercare instructions we provide. These are designed to guide you through the initial healing process and set you up for long-term success. Our team will give you detailed instructions about everything from resting and wearing compression garments to limiting certain activities in the weeks following your procedure. It’s essential to follow these instructions closely to avoid complications and ensure that your results develop as intended.
Be sure to attend all follow-up appointments, as these are key to monitoring your progress and allowing us to make adjustments if necessary. If you have any questions or concerns during your recovery, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here for you every step of the way.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is one of the best ways to preserve the results of your Mommy Makeover. Regular exercise and a balanced diet will help you maintain your weight and keep your body looking and feeling great. We recommend eating a variety of nutrient-rich foods, including lean proteins, fresh vegetables, and fruits, to support your body’s natural healing process and promote lasting results.
As you recover, aim for regular physical activity such as a 30-minute daily walk. Exercise not only supports your physical health but can also boost your mood and energy levels, helping you feel more confident and rejuvenated.
After a Mommy Makeover, it’s essential to nurture your skin to help prevent the signs of aging and promote overall skin health. Keeping your skin moisturized and protected from the sun is key—especially when it comes to fading any scars from surgery. We highly recommend using broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, and our team can suggest the best products to help with scar healing.
One of our favorites is the Alastin Reform & Repair, a recovery-focused topical that helps improve the appearance of your scars and skin as it heals. Learn more about Alastin Reform & Repair here.
In addition to scar care, consider incorporating some of our non-surgical treatments into your routine. Collagen-boosting treatments, like microneedling or lasers, can keep your skin looking youthful and radiant, enhancing your Mommy Makeover results long after your surgery.
Because a Mommy Makeover restores your body to a new baseline, significant weight fluctuations can impact your results. Gaining weight may stretch the skin or alter the contouring results achieved during surgery, so it’s important to focus on maintaining a stable weight. Stay consistent with your healthy eating habits and exercise routine to ensure your results last.
If you experience weight fluctuations or other challenges, don’t be discouraged. We’re here to support you with the resources you need to stay on track.
Sometimes, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can be challenging—especially when you’re adjusting to new habits while juggling the demands of motherhood and family life. Getting professional support can make a significant difference in staying on course. Consider working with a personal trainer or nutritionist to help guide you through your fitness and dietary goals.
Additionally, if stress or lifestyle changes have led to weight fluctuations, we can help you develop a personalized plan that sets you up for long-term success. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone—our team is always here to offer advice, resources, and support to help you stay on track.
