What Is A Mommy Makeover?
Dr. Lawrence Iteld frequently meets with women who wish to have their pre-pregnancy figure back. Even though childbirth is an exciting and amazing moment in a woman’s life, it almost always alters the size and shape of various body parts — and can leave one feeling frustrated. The good news is that it's possible to get a slim and taut appearance, thanks to the assistance of the mommy makeover surgery performed at Iteld Plastic Surgery in Chicago, IL. The mommy makeover procedure uses a blend of liposuction and skin removal to target the breasts, tummy, and lower body — essentially, any body part affected by nursing, weight gain or loss, etc., can be corrected. Furthermore, nonsurgical procedures can be incorporated to smooth surface irregularities, such as hyperpigmentation and discoloration, from the rapid fluctuation and stretching of the tissue and skin during pregnancy.
How Does A Mommy Makeover Work?
Every mommy makeover plan at Iteld Plastic Surgery is personalized based on the specific body areas that are being targeted. While there are many procedures that could be included in your plan, the most popular treatments are breast lift, breast augmentation, breast reduction, tummy tuck, vaginal rejuvenation, and liposuction. All of these procedures are performed while the patient is under non-opioid anesthesia, taking 3 – 7 hours based on the complexity. In addition, an overnight stay at the hospital might be necessary. Your treatment plan might also include nonsurgical procedures, such as cosmetic injections or laser treatments, to soften facial lines and diminish surface issues.
What to Expect After Mommy Makeover Surgery
After your surgery, we'll move you into a recovery room for monitoring until you're well enough to go home. Before you are discharged, we'll provide post-operative instructions to help you through the healing process, which is gradual for most patients. Walking will be hard the first few days, and a carefully followed, at-home care protocol will be required to ensure the incisions and sutures heal properly. The majority of women find the healing phase can last about six months, though you should be able to return to a more or less normal routine within a few weeks. Exercise should be held off for around two months. In the end, the mommy makeover procedure at Iteld Plastic Surgery can be life-changing for women, giving them their self-confidence once again.
What Are the Benefits of A Mommy Makeover?
Women who opt for a mommy makeover at our Chicago, IL practice enjoy a number of benefits from their treatments, such as:
- Satisfaction with comprehensive contour and look of your body, possibly for the first time in a long time
- Procedures can be performed simultaneously for a more complete transformation without separate recovery periods
- Improvement of breast contour, size, and youthfulness
- Improvement of several post-pregnancy imperfections, such as stretch marks or sagging skin
Iteld Plastic Surgery Reviews
Wonderful team - could not be happier with the results - I had a great experience. Dr. Iteld and his team treated me with respect, were compassionate towards my concerns, and were very thorough in their explanations of what to expect and the step by step process for preparing and recovering from surgery. Staff offered after hours support for any concerns that may have arisen post surgery (thankfully I’ve had none) and treated me very well. I could not be happier with the results of my surgery and the care provided by Dr. Iteld and his team. Dr. Iteld and his team were very inclusive towards the lgbtq+ community, always using my preferred name and pronouns and has performed many of these surgeries. Queer folks looking for gender affirming surgery are in good hands here.
I recently underwent a breast reduction surgery, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Dr. Itedl, Kimmy, and the receptionist Ashley were incredibly professional, guiding me through every step and addressing all of my concerns. The surgery itself went smoothly, and the recovery process was much easier than I anticipated. I’m 5’3 and 120lbs with an original cup size of a G. Dr. Itedl nailed the shape and areola size of my breast to match perfectly to my frame. One of the biggest benefits has been the relief from upper back, neck, and lower back pain, which was the main reason I opted for the procedure. The results look so natural, and the scars are already starting to fade. If you’re considering breast reduction surgery, I highly recommend it. It has been truly life-changing for me. The outcome has been everything I hoped for and more!
Kimmy is a phenomenal injector and is extremely knowledgeable about PRF/EZ Gel, energy based treatments, scarring, and her insight and education about facial anatomy, the aging process, and treating general cosmetic concerns for various ethnic skin types is extensive and surpasses any other injector I’ve encountered before. She is warm, patient, very empathetic, and I always feel fully heard and cared for during my appointments. She is so friendly, dedicated and passionate about what she does, and she truly shines in her role. Iteld Plastic Surgery (and her patients) are so lucky to have her! She’s a true gem! Keep up the good work!
I have made an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Iteld. First, as most should know, liposuction is NOT for weight loss, but "body conturing", though after a procedure, "minimal" weight loss may occur. Secondly, it is important that good research should be done BEFORE considering this procedure. DO NOT SETTLE for just anyone. Dr. Iteld is a highly accredited plastic surgeon. Even before making my appointment, I was extremely impressed by the patient, kind, informative and professional attention from one of his staff members. Rarely does one find such people these days. So, whether I am a candidate for this procedure or not, and especially as a retired medical professional, myself, I can honestly say, I KNOW I chose the right professional and staff, who are in a beautiful setting with plenty of parking. Good luck to all who are interested in an appropriate surgeon and procedure !
I had an incredible experience at Iteld Plastic Surgery, thanks to Kimmy! She took so much time with me, ensuring that I felt comfortable and understood every step of the process. Her attention to detail is unmatched—she’s meticulous and thorough, making me feel confident and ready for my wedding day. On top of that, Kimmy is soooo sweet and a pleasure to be around! I can’t recommend her and the office enough!
