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.
Iteld Plastic Surgery Reviews
My top surgery experience with Dr. Iteld was seamless. Each person handling every step of the process was well-informed and knowledgeable. They made me feel comfortable and coached me through with finesse. A well-oiled machine. I love my results. Thank you to everyone involved for everything.
If you want the best team and some of the best work I have seen, this is the place to go. Every single staff member has been nothing but absolutely amazing through my brother’s whole process. Linda, Caryle, Ashley, and Kimmie have been absolutely so sweet and fantastic. Their customer service has been phenomenal and unmatched. Dr. Iteld is truly an amazing doctor. He takes time with his patients and makes sure that they are 110% comfortable and that they understand ALL work that will be done and is so honest and real about the results. His work is incredible. Thank you so much to the whole team for providing a truly amazing experience for my brother. Couldn’t have picked a better office!!!!!
I had a fantastic experience with the entire team here. From consultation to surgery to follow-up after care, I felt I was in good hands. I'm extremely happy with my results. I'd highly recommend Dr. Iteld
I went to Dr Iteld for a breast reduction. He and his team made me feel immediately at easy. They offer their expertise to answer all your questions, and made the process as easy as possible, from prep to surgery to recovery. I was shocked how easy my recovery was! I love that I now feel I have proportionate breasts to my body for the first time ever!
Dr. Iteld and his associates have been nothing short of amazing! Everything has gone so well. I almost went with a different surgeon, but after so many issues along the way, my gut told me it wasn't right. I found Dr. Iteld through RealSelf and Google searches and looking at his work and after meeting him and his team, I just felt so much more comfortable. The surgery went incredibly well. I did not need any painkillers at all not even Tylenol. It was virtually pain-free. I had a breast lift with a very small implant to keep the size and the scars are very minimal and I'm so happy! My breasts are perfect! So even and just the right shape and size!!

Who is a Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
The right candidates for a mommy makeover at Iteld Plastic Surgery are women who have gone through pregnancy and childbirth, and have not been able to achieve their pre-pregnancy figure through diet and exercise alone. If you are finished having children and are in good overall health, you may be a good fit for this procedure. It's important to have realistic expectations and understand that this surgery is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle, but rather a way to enhance your existing efforts. We recommend discussing your goals with Dr. Iteld during a consultation to determine if this procedure is right for your needs.
Do results from a mommy makeover look natural?
Yes, the results from a mommy makeover can look very natural. Iteld Plastic Surgery focuses on creating a balanced and proportionate appearance while also taking into consideration your individual goals and preferences. Once fully healed, the results should look natural and feel comfortable.
Can I breastfeed after a mommy makeover?
It is possible to breastfeed after a mommy makeover. However, this will depend on the specific procedures you choose and your individual body. It is important to discuss your plans for breastfeeding with Dr. Iteld during a consultation so we can create a treatment plan that accommodates your needs.
Can I have more children after receiving a mommy makeover?
While it is possible to have children after receiving a mommy makeover, it is recommended that you wait until after you are finished having children to undergo this procedure.
