Mommy Makeover Vacation: Good or Bad Idea?

Mommy Makeover in West Palm Beach and Jupiter, FLFor many women, the post-pregnancy and childbirth body is one that feels very different from the tight, toned and youthful body of their pre-children days. While some may be content with this new look, others may be seeking a return to the bodies they once knew. Fortunately, a mommy makeover–which combines several body tightening, sculpting, lifting and enhancing procedures–can be exactly what you need to feel confident once more. However, deciding where your mommy makeover should take place is a big decision and one that should not be made lightly.

While it may sound ideal to have your procedure performed in a vacation-like setting, potentially overseas, there are a few things you should keep in mind before making your final decision:

Only Trust a Qualified Surgeon

Regardless of where you decide to have your procedure, you should only trust your surgery to a surgeon qualified to perform exactly what you desire. Especially if venturing overseas, it is important to do your research on the surgeon ahead of time, verify his or her credentials, and review any before and after photos to get a better idea of their level of skill and expertise. However, it is often very difficult – and sometimes near impossible – to determine the validity of foreign medical credentials. The only way you can be fully confident in the quality of your overseas surgeon is if they meet the same criteria as a U.S.-based plastic surgeon. For example, they should be board certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

Prepare for the Unexpected

If something should go wrong with your procedure or if you are unhappy with the results it can often lead to an increased cost to have the problem rectified by a qualified American plastic surgeon. Due to different standards of care, one of the most common complications that happen as a result of out of country surgeries are infections. In many cases, patients with complications spend more money in the U.S. to have a qualified surgeon or doctor accept their case and fix the issues caused by the foreign doctor.

Evaluate Your Travel Timeline

In many cases, traveling out of the state or country to have a mommy makeover will also require you to stay in that place until you have made progress in your recovery. As a result, when considering a mommy makeover vacation, it is also important to keep in mind whether your schedule allows you to be away from home for an extended period of time, and how that might impact your other commitments.

Countless women have already found that a mommy makeover can give them the boost of confidence that they have needed, ever since having children. Of course, you should always choose the facility and the environment that works best for you. However, if you are planning to take a mommy makeover vacation and travel for your procedure, we encourage you to keep the above tips in mind and always consider the value of a qualified surgeon who meets U.S. practicing standards – arguably the best in the world.
