Mommy Makeover in Dallas, TX

What happens to my tummy tuck if I gain weight?

It’s important you maintain a healthy weight regimen to keep your weight stable. However, small fluctuations in weight are normal. If you gain a lot of weight in a short span of time, you may develop stretch marks.

What happens to my belly button after a tummy tuck?

Dr. Trovato will discuss your procedures in more detail during your consultation. During your tummy tuck, the incisions can be made around your belly button to maintain your natural look.

What are the risks of a Mommy Makeover?

It is rare to have significant complications from a Mommy Makeover. Still, your cosmetic surgical procedures may carry certain risks and complications, such as swelling, numbness, bleeding at the incision sites, persistent pain, blood clotting, fluid accumulation, infection, and nerve damage. However, double-board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthew Trovato will guide you through this process to determine if a Mommy Makeover is right for you.

Will Dr. Trovato cut in the same place as my C-section scar?

Previous C-section scars are typically removed because the tummy tuck incision is longer and a little lower than the C-section scar. Therefore, the tummy tuck scar will most likely be less noticeable than the C-section scar, and in most cases, stretch marks are removed with the excess skin.

Is it safe to have all of these procedures done at once?

Dallas area women should know that the Mommy Makeover is exceptionally safe. You will be in a safe environment with expertly trained staff and an experienced plastic surgeon.

Which is more painful, a Mommy Makeover or a C-Section?

Pain tolerance in each patient is different. However, some patients have mentioned that their tummy tuck was more manageable than a C-section. During a C-section, your doctor cuts through your lower abdominal muscles and uterus to deliver the baby. Yet, new moms are still expected to care for a newborn while recovering from major surgery.

With a tummy tuck, Dr. Trovato is repairing the muscles and tightening the area. Additionally, your sleeping schedule and recovery should be smoother since you no longer care for an infant. Each tummy tuck caters to each patient, so a woman who has had multiple pregnancies or hernias may need more work, resulting in more pain post-surgery.
