Mommy Makeover Surgery in Ottawa with Dr. Ian MacArthur
What is a "Mommy Makeover"?
A mommy makeover refers to a combination of procedures that address the physical changes often experienced after pregnancy and breastfeeding. A mommy makeover can include but is not limited to a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, breast lift, liposuction, and vaginal rejuvenation.
Dr. MacArthur is a top-rated Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Ottawa specializing in mommy makeover surgery. He is the Medical Director at New Age Medical Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, one of the busiest surgical centers in the city.
How to Prepare for Surgery:
You will discuss your aesthetic goals in detail. Dr. MacArthur will answer all of your questions and a surgical plan will be created according to your anatomy and desired aesthetic results.
Avoid medications or supplements that can increase bleeding, such as aspirin, for about a week before surgery.
Dr. MacArthur will give you specific instructions based on your unique requirements before and after surgery.
If you're a smoker, you'll be asked to stop smoking well before surgery and after surgery for several weeks, as it can delay healing.
Make sure you have someone available to drive you home post-surgery and assist you for the first day.
What to Expect After Surgery:
Most patients can return to non-strenuous activities in 2-6 weeks, depending on the procedures.
Bruising and swelling is expected after surgery. Dr. MacArthur may recommend compression garments.
Most people can return to work or normal activities within a week or two after surgery. However, strenuous activities, including heavy lifting, should be avoided for at least a few weeks.
Dr. MacArthur will give you specific instructions at the time of consultation.
You can expect long lasting results. However, nothing can stop the natural aging process. A healthy diet, regular exercise, proper weight management, and staying hydrated can help maintain the youthful appearance achieved by surgery.
Make sure you have someone available to drive you home post-surgery and to assist you for the first day of recovery.
