Generally speaking, the risks of this procedure are infection, bleeding, incision scarring, and contour abnormalities. With the breasts, the risks are capsular contraction, deflation of implants (if they are used), asymmetry, and the risk of blood clots or thromboembolism.

Since Mommy Makeover surgery involves incisions, some degree of scarring is inevitable. Dr. Delgado always works to place scars as inconspicuously as possible.

In your initial consultation, you and Dr. Delgado will discuss your cosmetic concerns, as well as your short- and long-term goals. He will describe what the Mommy Makeover encompasses. He will then perform a physical examination, from which he will advise you as to which procedures are the best for your situation and where the incisions would be located.
