Pick a Qualified Cosmetic Surgeon
First, you want to carefully choose a qualified cosmetic surgeon for your mommy makeover who has experience performing this procedure. Ask your cosmetic surgeon about medical training, residency programs and any affiliations with accredited medical associations he or she has such as the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgeons and the American Medical Association.
It’s also not a bad idea to check for before and after photos of previous mommy makeover results from that particular cosmetic surgeon. Most reputable cosmetic surgeons will even post these on their website to make them very easy to view.
Be transparent and clear when communicating your mommy makeover goals with your cosmetic surgeon.

Wait Until Your Body Has Stopped Changing
It can be tempting to schedule your procedure immediately after recovering from having your first child, but if you’re considering expanding your family in the future, it’s best to hold off. That way, you won’t risk needing a revision surgery following future pregnancies.
-
Be Open and Honest
Be honest about what trouble spots you’re looking to address with your mommy makeover so that he or she can custom-tailor your procedure to meet those unique needs and ultimately help you get your pre-baby body back.
