Mommy Makeover in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
A mommy makeover is not one set surgery. It is a plan built from procedures that treat changes after pregnancy. Common parts are a tummy tuck, breast surgery (a lift, implants, or both), and liposuction.
Doing them together means one anesthesia and one recovery. If the combined surgery would run too long, we split it into two safer stages.
How it works
What happens in the operating room.
- You get anesthesia (medicine that makes you sleep).
- The team works in a planned order, usually breast first, then belly.
- Each part follows the same steps as it would alone.
- Total time depends on the plan. We cap surgery length for safety.
- The cuts are closed in layers. Garments and a surgical bra go on.
- Some patients stay one night for monitoring.

The honest risk list — read it before your consult
Every surgery has risks. These are the main ones, in plain words — and we go over all of them with you in person.
- The risks of each included surgery apply.
- Longer combined surgery raises the risk of blood clots. Early walking is your best protection.
- A bigger single recovery. You must have real help at home for the first week.
- Fluid buildup, slow healing spots, and the chance of a touch-up.
- Bleeding. Some bleeding can need another trip to the operating room.
- Infection. Signs are spreading redness, warmth, pus, or fever.
- Scars. Every cut leaves a scar. Most fade over a year. Some stay raised or wide.
- Numb skin near the cuts. Feeling usually returns over months. Small areas can stay numb.
- Blood clots in the legs. A clot can travel to the lungs. That is an emergency.
- Problems from anesthesia (the medicine that makes you sleep). These are rare in healthy people.
- Uneven results. The two sides of the body are never a perfect match.
- The need for another surgery to fix a problem or improve the result.
Recovery, honestly
What the weeks actually look like.
The arc
When to call, day or night
- A growing bulge of fluid or blood under the skin.
- You have chest pain or trouble breathing. Call 911 first, then call us.
- One leg swells, or one calf hurts more than the other.
- You have a fever over 101 degrees.
- Blood soaks a bandage and does not slow down with gentle pressure.
- Redness spreads out from a cut, or you see pus.
Cost, answered

We don’t do internet price tags. Pricing moves with your anatomy, primary versus revision, and what your plan combines — so your consultation ends with one written, all-in number: surgeon, anesthesia, AAAHC-accredited facility, and follow-up included. We honor it.
