How Soon After Consultation Can I Have a Mommy Makeover?

The first priority is that you are in good overall medical health before considering a mommy makeover. You will need to be seen by your primary care physician to have medical clearance prior to surgery. After your consultation you should meet with the surgeon one more time, perhaps a week later so that you can ask addtional questions that were not addressed at the first visit.  You may also want to meet with more than one plastic surgeon to determine which surgeon is right for you.

You could have surgery within days or within weeks/months of your consultation depending upon the schedule of your surgeon and yourself.

There is no specific time frame between consultation and surgery, but you do need to be in good health (no smoking and off all aspirin/motrin products). Please take your time and don't rush into an elective procedure.

It totally depends on the surgeons schedule. Most surgeons in Turkey are pre booked at least 4 weeks. However, sometimes there is an opening in the schedule. Best way is to discuss it during your consultation. It is very common to pay for the surgery upfront as well.

Thanks for your question!
Depends on when your surgeon has an opening in his/her surgery schedule. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!

Safety should be everyone’s first priority. Therefore, it’s absolutely essential that you undergo a proper medical evaluation before proceeding with this procedure. Particular attention should be given to drugs that might effect how blood clots. Drugs like Ibuprofen and Aspirin, for instance, can lead to post-operative bleeding.
Once this work-up is complete, the only limiting factors are your schedule and your surgeon’s schedule. When you are both ready, it’s acceptable to proceed.

Getting mommy her body back is more than just a popular procedure.  All patients need to be assessed for medical stability and general health as safety is a priority consideration.  We need to then look at all that needs to be done, considering effective staging if we cannot complete your list in one setting.  Scheduling usually needs a few weeks at least to get the patient prepared properly with opportunities to learn about the process and to answer all questions.  This is a serious investment and a serious undertaking that requires careful attention to detail for best results and happy patients. 

In our office we often can book the surgery in conjunction with the consultation so that you can have your surgery the next day (assuming that you are in good condition and have no medical problems that need to be further investigated).  We see a lot of patients from out of state who come to us for surgery.  With that in mind, we can often compress the time frame from consultation to surgery.

If you are in good health and you have found a surgeon you trust, the only thing left is the surgeon finding time on his/her schedule and more importantly, having things ready at home and at work.  I reccomend my patient's take one week off from a desk job and 2-3 weeks for more strenous work.  Also, you will need help at home for at least 3 days after the procedure.  Hope this helps. 

Thank you for your question.  Cosmetic surgery can be performed after a consultation as long as you are medically cleared for your procedure first.  This usually involves some bloodwork and a history and physical from your internist.  Some patients can get this done within a week if they are healthy with few medical problems.  Other patients may have to wait a little longer for clearance if they are are blood thinners or have other medical concerns that need to be addressed beforehand.  Good luck!

Scheduling for Mommy makeover depends on many factors. Once you have made the decision to move forward with your selected Plastic Surgeon, assuming that you are a candidate for the procedure(s), the availability of the surgeons and facility will also play a role. In Atlanta, we are able to schedule surgery within 2-3 weeks after consultation. Another factor is your family/friend support. How long will it take for your friends and family to be available to help you.

There is no need to rush your surgery, since you have the rest of your life to enjoy the benefits. Make sure to consult with a board certified Plastic Surgeon.

How soon after your consultation you could have your surgery depends on several factors: 1) Your health, 2) whether any pre operative medical clearance from your medical doctor is needed or any pre operative blood work or other tests are needed, 3) what medications you take which may need to be stopped, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, 4) and finally what the availability of your surgeon is.  Safety should always be paramount so be sure all issues are addressed prior to surgery, even if you must wait a little longer.
