EXCEPTIONAL!!! I wanted a mommy makeover to include breast lift with augmentation and tummy tuck with lipo. I had consultations with 5 other top plastics surgeons around San Antonio and Austin. Dr Micallef was the only one that really listened to what I wanted and didn’t rush through the consult...After surgery, I had a bit of pain and Dr Micallef had me come in and addressed the pain and I didn’t have it any more. He called and texted to check on me multiple times. The personal care and attention is priceless to me. I couldn’t be more happy with my results!

The Mommy Makeover Process - What to Expect

Step 1 - Surgical Plan

A Mommy Makeover by Dr. Micallef and Dr. Ortiz aims to restore pre-pregnancy bodies and confidence. Following a comprehensive consultation, Dr. Micallef or Dr. Ortiz devises a personalized surgical plan, which may include procedures like breast augmentation, lift or reduction, tummy tuck, liposuction, or other body contouring treatments tailored to individual needs and goals.

Step 2 - Surgery Performed

Once your surgical plan is tailored to your goals, you'll receive detailed pre-operative instructions to prepare for the procedures. On the day of your surgery, our skilled medical team will ensure your comfort and safety throughout the process. Dr. Micallef or Dr. Ortiz will perform the agreed-upon Mommy Makeover procedures in San Antonio, paying meticulous attention to every detail to achieve the best possible results. The length of the surgery will vary depending on the extent of the makeover.

Step 3 - Post Surgery

After your Mommy Makeover, you will be carefully monitored as you begin your recovery journey. The comprehensive approach of a Mommy Makeover addresses multiple areas of concern in a single procedure, allowing you to achieve your aesthetic goals efficiently. In the following weeks and months, as your body heals and the initial swelling subsides, you'll start to see the beautiful, transformative results of your Mommy Makeover.

What can I expect during my recovery from a Mommy Makeover?

After your Mommy Makeover, your recovery period will correspond to the procedures you've chosen. Expect initial downtime for rest and healing, with common side effects like pain, swelling, and bruising, managed through Dr. Micallef's and Dr. Ortiz's pain relief strategies. Depending on your makeover's extent, plan for one to two weeks off work and daily activities, gradually resuming light activities within a few weeks while avoiding strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for about six weeks. Adhering to Dr. Micallef's or Dr. Ortiz's post-operative instructions is crucial for optimal results. Over time, swelling will diminish, revealing your rejuvenated contours, with final results manifesting after a few months as incision lines fade. With patience and care, your Mommy Makeover will leave you looking and feeling your best post-pregnancy.
