Top Plastic Surgeon Dr. Jejurikar joined Dr. Sam Rhee and Dr. Salvatore Pacella on the podcast show named “3 Plastics Surgeons and a Microphone” to share information and tips on the Mommy Makeover. One of the primary focuses of this podcast was on breast augmentation, which is one of the most common procedures included in the Mommy Makeover.
Chapter Overview
What is the Mommy Makeover?
The Mommy Makeover is one of the most popular sets of procedures performed by Dr. Jejurikar. The set of procedures can include breast augmentation, breast reduction, tummy tuck, and liposuction as required by the patient. The Mommy Makeover focuses on women who have gone through pregnancy and have lost shape through weight gain, weight loss, sagging of the breasts, and other issues.
How is the Mommy Makeover Procedure performed?
When discussing initial patient consultation for breast augmentation, Dr. Jejurikar highlighted that patients and plastic surgeons approach breast augmentation differently. The patients focus on the cup size, but a plastic surgeon looks at much more. The surgeons do a more in-depth dimensional analysis of the breasts to find what can be done to improve the breasts’ overall appearance and find the safest option to perform the breast augmentation procedure. For example, installing the implant behind the breast muscle allows for better mammograms in the future and helps prevent capsular contracture.
Dr. Jejurikar also shared that he is a big proponent of digital imaging to show patients and get feedback to find exactly what the patient wants from their breast augmentation. Although digital imaging is not completely foolproof, it is an “excellent communication tool,” according to Dr. Jejurikar. Another thing that Dr. Jejurikar does in his office is to show the patients a few selected implants and give them some time to think about what they want. This extra time helps the patients choose the right size and shape of breast implants for them.
Is there any risk with the procedure?
Discussing major risks associated with breast augmentation, Dr. Jejurikar talked about capsular contracture as one of the major risks of this procedure. It is a type of bacterial infection around the implant. Dr. Jejurikar uses a variety of ointments, antibiotic concoctions, and non-touch implant procedures to minimize the risk of any infection. Another issue with breast augmentation is malposition issues, which might require minor surgery to fix.
The podcast highlighted the “before” and “after” results of a patient who wanted bigger breasts. Dr. Sam Rhee performed the procedure. Dr. Jejurikar was impressed with the results, especially with the natural appearance of the breasts and how masterfully Dr. Rhee filled the cleavage area, which looked severely deficient in breast tissue in the “before” photos.
Dr. Jejurikar also discussed the regional difference in average size implants. The average implant size varies, but typically Dr. Jejurikar does breast implants in the range of 200 CCS to 800 CCS.
What is the price tag for a Mommy Makeover with Dr. Jejurikar?
The Mommy Makeover prices vary depending on the surgery chosen and whether those procedures are being combined with others. As a general estimate, plan to spend at least $18,000 to $20,000 for a mommy makeover. While this may initially seem pricey, the procedure can be paid in installments to fit your needs.
