Mommy Makeover in Chelmsford

• If you’ve noticed changes in your body post-pregnancy, you may be uncomfortable with your new shape and appearance. A mommy makeover in Chelmsford at PURE Cosmetic Center can help restore your self-esteem by addressing areas of your body that may no longer feel familiar, including your tummy, breasts, buttocks, and even genitalia.
• Board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), Dr. Dave Lee is a Stanford-educated plastic surgeon in Chelmsford who specializes in several cosmetic procedures. Using cutting-edge surgical techniques and finesse gained from years of training as a plastic surgeon, Dr. Lee and his team at PURE Cosmetic Center can help you feel like yourself again.

• Comprehensive array of aesthetic procedures for all post-childbirth concerns
• Customizable — “Mix and match” the procedures that are right for you.
• Multiple procedures can be performed in a single surgical session, reducing costs.
• Treatments can address loose skin, stretch marks, a protruding abdomen, fat bulges, and sagging breasts through a comprehensive, coordinated, and personalized plan. Improving your self-image and feeling youthful and attractive can only lift your relationships with family members, loved ones, and co-workers

• Liposuction: Fat is sucked out in your desired locations.
• Tummy tuck: Extra fat and skin are removed, creating a better abdominal contour.
• Breast augmentation: Breast implants or fat grafts are used to make your breasts larger.
• Breast lift: The breasts are lifted by the removal of excess skin to tighten surrounding tissue. The nipples are placed into a more youthful position.
• Vaginal rejuvenation: This procedure tightens the inner and outer muscles as well as the structures of the vagina to restore muscle tone and control.

Enlarged nipples and areolas can be addressed, as can a “boxy” waistline. Ask your doctor about additional procedures, including thigh lift, arm lift, and Brazilian butt lift. You can also choose to add nonsurgical facial injectables and dermal fillers to your Mommy Makeover “menu.”

Additionally, you should be at least six months post-childbirth. Smokers are generally disqualified since smoking can adversely impact surgical procedures and postoperative recovery.

Choosing the right surgeon for you is the most important single decision you will make in optimizing the results and safety of your combination of procedures. Great surgeons produce great results. Insist on a board-certified plastic surgeon who is also a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. We know where you can find just such a surgeon!

If you’re interested in addressing your post-childbirth cosmetic concerns with a Mommy Makeover Chelmsford, Dr. Lee is here to help. Call or message us today to set up your consultation with Dr. Lee.

Your surgeon will meticulously review your medical history, including all previous surgeries. Disclose all medications and supplements you are taking since some may promote surgical bleeding. During your consultation with your surgeon, clearly convey your Mommy Makeover goals, but make sure your expectations are realistic.

You and your surgeon will select the procedures to be included in your Mommy Makeover surgical “package.” That will enable your surgeon to determine whether your Mommy Makeover can be performed in a single session or if multiple sessions will be required. Before ending the consultation, you and your doctor should settle on:

• The desired amount of restoration
• Incision locations
• Type of implants used, if any

If you need to lose some weight, the preoperative period is a great time to do that! It will improve your health and happiness and help you “max out” the benefits of your Mommy Makeover. Many of our high-profile patients prefer to be private with their cosmetic procedures and prefer that their photographs not be placed online. At your consultation, you will be shown photographs of patients who have given us permission to display their before and after pictures.

Make sure you have arranged for someone to drive you home and help you around the house for a while following your Mommy Makeover. Fill any needed postoperative medications prior to your Mommy Makeover. If possible, try to attend to any cleaning or other household chores before your surgery. It may also be helpful to prepare some meals needed in the first few days after you get home.

• Because your Chelmsford Mommy Makeover is customized for your specific desired results, there’s no one way the procedures proceed. That said, many patients choose to have breast and tummy work done first before adding other elements. Since there is a combination of procedures being performed, your surgery could be 4 or 5 hours in length. As mentioned, some women and their doctors opt for an overnight hospital stay so that nursing care is available.
• Depending on the plan you created with Dr. Lee and the total length of the combined procedures, you will first be placed under general anesthesia. Dr. Lee will then perform each of the surgeries to restore shape and function to your post-childbirth body. Once the procedures are complete, Dr. Lee will close the incisions with stitches. You’ll need to return for a follow-up to make sure you’re healing correctly and ensure your overall satisfaction.

Initial recovery will take at least two weeks, although this can be longer depending on the number of procedures you have. You will likely be swollen and bruised, and while the bruising will fade in 2-3 weeks, swelling can take three to four months to completely go away. Most women return to work or school somewhere between two and six weeks. Don’t drive until you have ceased using any prescribed pain medication, and avoid heavy lifting for at least six weeks. The recovery period for each patient also is impacted by your body’s own unique rate of healing.

• Motherhood is beautiful and wonderfully rewarding. But it comes with a physical toll. While women can diet and exercise in an attempt to restore their pre-childbirth figures, those efforts are often insufficient to address loose skin and muscles, as well as breast, abdominal, and other body changes. Many women are choosing to elevate their health, happiness, attractiveness, and self-confidence through Mommy Makeover.
• Great doctors produce great results. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Dave Lee combines elite-level training, experience, and skill with the eyes of an artist and the hands of a concert pianist (which he is). Get beautifully natural results that are worthy of a standing ovation. We warmly invite you to call to schedule a consultation today.
