Is Mommy Makeover Worth the Pain?

My patients overwhelmingly say yes, because postoperative discomfort is usually far more manageable than patients anticipate, and the recovery process is a lot smoother, too. This is especially true at Stoker Plastic Surgery. I have safely performed thousands of breast and body procedures and go above and beyond to ensure my patients’ comfort.

If you are thinking about plastic surgery but are unsure what to expect or how you might feel afterward, you might be asking yourself, “Is Mommy Makeover worth the pain?” Learn why my Mommy Makeover patients aren’t worried about pain—and why you shouldn’t be either!

Safety First

Your safety is my foremost concern. From your initial consultation with me to your final follow-up, you are in expert hands at my practice. I will give you my professional recommendations on which procedures will help you achieve your goals, and I will never operate on you if you aren’t a good candidate for the surgery.

I take a holistic view of each patient, encompassing both their physical safety and their emotional well-being. Your consultation is your time to learn more about the Mommy Makeover surgery and address any questions or concerns you may have. I will design a treatment plan specifically for you that is meticulously planned to optimize results and minimize risk.

An Enhanced Patient Experience

Our goal is to make your Mommy Makeover experience as comfortable and rewarding as possible. I use advanced surgical techniques that I have honed over thousands of operations and have developed my own rapid recovery and “traceless” procedures. These specializations get patients back to their daily lives sooner and with little to no visible evidence of surgery.

Our private surgical center is also equipped with state-of-the-art technology and an exceptional care team. I designed our surgical center with my patients’ comfort in mind and have spared no expense to deliver an elevated patient experience, from pneumatic compression boots to a double-underbody warm water circulator and special warm-air blankets. These items don’t just enhance comfort, they also reduce complication rates. Learn more about the “Stoker Difference” here.

Advanced Pain Management Protocols

My Mommy Makeover patients also benefit from robust protocols for pain management. In addition to the warming devices mentioned above, I use high-quality and long-lasting medications to keep you comfortable throughout your surgery and recovery. Exparel®, for example, is a non-opiate analgesic that provides sustained and significant pain relief for up to 72 hours.

Regarding anesthesia and the possible complications and side effects that may arise, I only work with board-certified anesthesiologists whom I have personally vetted. The anesthesia itself has also been carefully selected to minimize nausea and enhance your recovery.

By carefully planning every detail of your procedure and having stringent recovery protocols in place, our team works to reduce your postoperative discomfort so you can focus on the exciting results ahead.

The Transformation on the Other Side

Is a Mommy Makeover worth the discomfort? Absolutely. Beyond the aesthetic benefits and stunning results, patients experience a renewed sense of confidence and self-assurance. While all surgeries will involve some degree of pain, the long-term benefits far outweigh temporary soreness and sensitivity.

Don’t let the anticipation of pain hold you back from your dreams. If you would like to learn more about your Mommy Makeover options, please request a consultation or call Stoker Plastic Surgery at (310) 300-1779.
