Mommy Makeover Surgery in Ottawa with Dr. Ian MacArthur

As women journey through pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum recovery phases, we witness our bodies undergo significant changes. While these shifts often signify strength, resilience, and the wonders of birth, they can also result in longing for the physique we had before children. For many, a "mommy makeover" is about restoring confidence and comfort in our skin.

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.
 
The specifics of the surgery will vary based on the chosen procedures. A mommy makeover is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. MacArthur will make incisions in the areas to be treated, removing excess skin and fat and reshaping the body to achieve your desired aesthetic results.

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:

Consultation

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.

Medications

 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. 

Quit Smoking

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.

Arrange for a Ride

Make sure you have someone available to drive you home post-surgery and assist you for the first day.

What to Expect After Surgery:

Recovery

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.

Activity

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.

Results

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.

Arrange for a Ride

Make sure you have someone available to drive you home post-surgery and to assist you for the first day of recovery.
