The short answer to this question is yes, Mommy Makeover is typically done under general anesthesia. As a board-certified plastic surgeon with years of experience, I have performed numerous Mommy Makeover procedures and I believe it is important to provide my patients with the utmost comfort and safety during their transformative journey.
General anesthesia is a preferred choice for Mommy Makeover surgeries because it allows the patient to be completely unconscious and pain-free throughout the procedure. This level of anesthesia ensures that the patient remains completely still, allowing me to perform the necessary surgical techniques with precision and accuracy.
During a Mommy Makeover, multiple procedures are often combined to address the various changes that occur in a woman's body after pregnancy and breastfeeding. These procedures may include a tummy tuck, breast lift or augmentation, liposuction, and sometimes even vaginal rejuvenation. Each case is unique, and the specific combination of procedures will depend on the individual patient's goals and desires.
The decision to undergo general anesthesia should not be taken lightly. However, it is important to note that modern anesthesia techniques have greatly advanced over the years, making general anesthesia safer than ever before. Before the surgery, an anesthesiologist will thoroughly evaluate the patient's medical history, perform necessary preoperative tests, and ensure that the patient is in good overall health to handle the anesthesia.
While under general anesthesia, the patient is constantly monitored by a trained anesthesiologist who adjusts the levels of anesthesia and ensures the patient's vital signs remain stable throughout the procedure. This comprehensive monitoring provides an extra layer of safety and reassurance for both the patient and the surgical team.
Recovery from a Mommy Makeover can vary from patient to patient, but general anesthesia allows for a smoother post-operative experience. By eliminating any pain or discomfort during the surgery, the patient can wake up feeling refreshed and ready to begin the recovery process. As a plastic surgeon, the satisfaction of my patients is of utmost importance to me, and I provide comprehensive post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
In conclusion, Mommy Makeover procedures are commonly performed under general anesthesia in order to provide optimal comfort, safety, and precision during surgery. While the decision to undergo general anesthesia should be made after careful consideration, advancements in anesthesia techniques have made the procedure safer than ever before. If you are considering a Mommy Makeover, I encourage you to consult with a qualified professional who can guide you through the process and address any concerns you may have. With the right surgeon and a well-executed surgical plan, you can achieve the body you desire and regain your confidence after childbirth.
