Under Dr. Brothers’s watchful eye and skilled hand, a mommy makeover is safe and a commonly performed surgery that he does all the time.
Assessment and Consultation: The Foundation of Safety
To ensure that your surgery is best suited for you, a full consultation is conducted in advance of the procedure. During your mommy makeover consultation, you will discuss:

While the decision to have a mommy makeover is personal, the best results are obtained through a customized approach, which means being truthful about your goals and medical history to reduce the risk of complications and adverse effects.
