Dependent on the different surgical and non-surgical procedures opted for.
A significant milestone in any woman’s life, becoming a mother brings a level of joy that words don’t do adequate justice to. But pregnancy can leave many women feeling distressed by the appearance of their post-baby body, causing confidence levels to plummet and having a negative impact on the way they feel about themselves. While a healthy diet and regular exercise routine can go a long way to bringing your body back to its pre-pregnancy best, sometimes it just isn’t enough.
The Mommy Makeover can transform both your figure and how you feel about yourself. Designed to tackle the most common post-pregnancy issues, which include excess skin and fat around the stomach, arms and thighs, loose abdominal muscles and loss of contour, and breasts that have lost volume and uplift, the Mommy Makeover offers a combination of surgical and non-surgical procedures to rejuvenate your face and physique – and your self-esteem!
The Mommy Makeover is a combination treatment with multiple procedures. Tailored according to the individual needs of the patient, these procedures can include a tummy tuck with liposculpture and a breast augmentation, lift or reduction, non-surgical face contouring and even a mini or full facelift. In addition, liposuction can be used to remove stubborn pockets of localized fat all over the body.
The Cocoona surgical team use the latest innovative tools and techniques to ensure the best possible results. For example, Ultrasonic assisted liposculpture and VASER assisted liposuction not only enables unwanted fat to be removed from the stomach and waistline, it allows the area to be sculpted and the skin to be tightened for the most aesthetically pleasing result. The Endoscopic assisted tummy tuck is another advance that allows for even deep repair of abdominal muscles with no more than a small incision in the bikini line.
Depending on the combination of procedures opted for, patients are usually discharged within a couple of days, are able to resume moderate exercise within three to four weeks and will be completely recovered within four to eight weeks – a similar recovery period to that of a caesarian section.
The Mommy Makeover is tailored to the specific needs of each patient. Typically, the procedure involves a combination of surgeries to correct a combination of the following:
The Mommy Makeover is a combination of surgical and non-surgical procedures. Depending on the specific procedures to be undertaken, the downtime and recovery period will vary from individual to individual and from case to case. Even for the most minor surgical cases, the Mommy Makeover will alter your shape and overall appearance, in some cases to a significant extent, so careful thought needs to be given prior to going ahead.
At Cocoona, we ask for you to conduct a self-evaluation to help you assess if you are one hundred per cent ready, both physically and mentally, for Mommy Makeover surgery. You should ask yourself the following questions:
Once you have clarity on the above, the next step is to find the right surgeon and clinic. These are of paramount importance.
You need a surgeon who is experienced in performing Mommy Makeover surgeries, has a sound reputation and proven results. You should also look for a surgeon who will give you honest and realistic advice about what you can and can’t achieve with this procedure.
A good clinic is one that has an experienced and highly skilled surgical team, licensed aestheticist(s), well trained nursing staff, an excellent reputation, and a low complication rate. Of course, the clinic also needs to be licensed with the relevant authorities for the country or region it is situated in. At Cocoona, we tick all these boxes.
The anesthetic protocol required will vary from patient to patient depending on the combination of surgical and non-surgical procedures that have been decided upon.
Some procedures can be performed under local anaesthetic with light sedation, otherwise known as twilight anesthesia, to make them more comfortable. In other cases, general anaethesia will be required.
Your surgeon will be able to advise further in line with your individual case.
The permanence of the results will vary from patient to patient depending on the combination of surgical and non-surgical procedures that have been decided upon. Your surgeon will be able to advise further in line with your individual case.
For an accurate cost assessment, you will need to book an initial consultation with our surgeon. As with almost any aesthetic procedure, the cost will depend on the following factors:
Procedures – The combination of surgical and non-surgical procedures to be undertaken; each procedure will have a separate cost
Surgeon’s Expertise – The surgeon’s fee is based on their experience. Obviously, a reputable surgeon who is established and has a successful track record will charge higher fees.
Clinic/ Hospital – Fees also depend upon the quality of the facility chosen for the operation.
Geographic Area – Depending on the city/ area you decide to have the surgery in, the cost is likely be different: clinics in larger metropolitan cities tend to cost more. You should bear in mind that the expertise of your consultant and your comfort factor with him or her should be one the most important considerations, much more so than the cost of the procedure. A cheap procedure could turn out to be an expensive proposition in the long run.
The recovery period and downtime required will vary from patient to patient depending on the combination of surgical and non-surgical procedures that have been decided upon. For example, Tummy Tuck surgery requires at least two weeks from work and resumption of normal activities, including being able to drive, and full recovery will take around six weeks.
Your surgeon will be able to advise further in line with your individual case.
Once you are clear about your reasons for having Mommy Makeover surgery and have decided to proceed, call us to fix an appointment.
On the appointed day, the expert surgeon who will perform the surgery will consult with you. During the consultation, you should expect the following:
Feeling apprehensive before the surgery takes place is entirely normal. Be sure to discuss any fears or concerns you have with your surgeon and don’t hesitate to ask any questions related to the results you hope to achieve.
Being well informed is being well prepared. Apart from checking that your clinic and doctors have the necessary skills, knowledge and experience, here are some more areas that you should explore:
Please feel free to add any more questions that you wish to this list before your consultation.
After your initial consultation, you will need to make the final decision regarding your surgeon. Never choose your surgeon simply based on how much the treatment will cost. Instead, focus on the following:
License & certification – is the surgeon licensed and certified to conduct Mommy Makeover surgery by a reputable body?
Expertise & experience – the number of years of experience/ how many Mommy Makeover surgeries the surgeon has performed previously
Before/ after pictures – evidencing their capability of past performance
Clarity on possible results – whether they are providing you with realistic expectations and honest feedback
Professionalism & comfort factor – if you feel comfortable with the professionalism and manners of a surgeon, and feel you can trust him/her with your face and body, then that’s the surgeon you should consider
Safety philosophy – if the surgeon is ready to put you at risk by recommending or agreeing to perform multiple unrelated surgeries and/or procedures on the same day or within a short period of time, you should refuse to proceed and go elsewhere. While the Mommy Makeover involves a combination of surgical and non-surgical procedures, there is a limit as to how many procedures can be completed in one single surgery.
Patient testimonials & reviews – A good reputation and a large number of positive patient testimonials and reviews on independent forums should be an important consideration in your process of choosing the right surgeon
Keep in mind that there are hidden costs in the long term and greater risks (including threat to life), associated with a surgery where costs, safety and skills are compromised. Always be wary of a plastic surgeon or clinic offering very low costs and/ or miraculous results.
After your initial consultation with the surgeon, once you are satisfied with the outcome of the ensuing discussions and have confirmed that you will go ahead with your chosen consultant, a date will be fixed for the procedure.
Here are some of the important steps that you must take before the procedure:
Our surgeon and patient counselor will guide you thoroughly about what you need to do so that you are completely at ease and ready for surgery and beyond.

I want to thank you for the great effort and expertise that you put in the hair transplant procedure which you did on me. You have fixed a big cut from a previous, very bad hair transplant in Jordan. It kept me very nervous and uncomfortable for very long time. Now, after conducting this surgery by you, I feel very very happy because the cut is almost gone. I like your personality and professionalism. I am really glad that I made a decision to come to Dubai and conduct the surgery at Cocoona Clinic Thank you very much.
