Choosing A Liposuction During a Mommy Makeover
After pregnancy, it’s quite normal to gain weight, followed by layers of fat cells. We understand that reducing the fat enemy can be quite a challenge. We offer liposuction, the best solution for removal of the fat cells from the targeted area.
Liposuction is a procedure used to improve the body’s contour by removing fat deposits that lie between the skin and muscle. The most affected body areas are the hips, thighs, and abdomen. We perform Laser-Assisted Liposuction, widely known as SmartLipo, as well as traditional liposuction.

Lymphatic Massage & Post-Surgery Support from Dr. Tehrani
Some patients experience post-surgery accumulation of liquid or tissues beneath the skin that can harden. The resulting fibrosis can cause bruising or soreness. Lymphatic massage is a type of gentle massage that encourages blood flow and lymph drainage to help relieve this fibrosis. Once the lymph is drained, the reabsorption process begins. The waste tissue will be carried back toward the heart and, ultimately, naturally removed from the body. Lymphatic massage is a very safe and effective way to speed the healing process and improve comfort post-surgery. Your immune system will also benefit from these massages, which is crucial during a post-operative time of healing.read more

Mommy Makeover Recovery
The first couple of days, you may experience some discomfort and swelling round the treated areas, maybe even some slight pain. The combination of procedures you choose will influence the length of your recovery period, which may be up to 6 weeks or more. But with the utmost care from our patient care coordinators and Dr. Tehrani himself, you will be ready to get back to all of your day-to-day activities in no time, looking and feeling your best.
The first week is often the most challenging, with patients advised to rest and avoid any strenuous activities. It’s important to have assistance at home, especially if you have young children, as your range of motion and ability to lift may be limited.
By the second to third week, many patients find their discomfort significantly reduced and can gradually increase their activity levels, although heavy lifting and intense exercise should still be avoided for at least six weeks. Regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Tehrani will help monitor your healing process and address any concerns. Most patients can return to work and resume most daily activities within four to six weeks, although the full recovery timeline can vary based on the specific procedures performed and individual healing rates. Adhering to Dr. Tehrani's post-operative care instructions and attending all follow-up appointments is essential for a smooth recovery and optimal results.

More Mommy Makeover Recovery Options: Speedy Recovery with Exparel
At Aristocrat Plastic Surgery & MedAesthetics, we are always striving to provide our patients the best experience possible. Whether you refer to this technique as “rapid” or “flash” recovery, it is gaining popularity for a number of reasons. Utilizing the speedy recovery injectable “EXPAREL” allows patients to significantly reduce the amount of pain they experience during the first 72 hours after surgery, when pain is at its peak. EXPAREL is a slow-release, non-opioid pain medicine that is injected into the surgical site during the operation to ensure a speedy recovery post-surgery. In the past, patients were restricted for up to 6 weeks after surgery.
Speedy recovery EXPAREL injections allow for a seemingly painless transition between invasive surgery and full recovery, with minimal discomfort and downtime. While extreme pain is reduced, many patients can do without strong, addictive narcotics, and instead opt for a combination of over-the-counter Ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatories. Since patients have better mobility immediately following surgery, they are capable of performing stretching exercises which helps to decrease muscle spasms in the chest wall, therefore reducing pain and the chance of blood clots. This allows patients to return back to their normal routine much quicker compared to the standard, multi-week recovery with prescribed pain medicine. Speedy recovery injections are available for patients undergoing gluteal implant, breast augmentation and/or abdominoplasty. Schedule a consultation today to find out more about mommy makeover with the speedy recovery injection, EXPAREL.
We understand that it isn’t easy to make a decision that will change your body and your life. We are here to help you, guide you, and support you throughout the whole process.
