When your body no longer feels like it matches your energy, restoring its appearance requires a clear treatment plan that respects your time. Your initial consultation for a mommy makeover in New Braunfels is a great opportunity to share your concerns, such as a softer belly or changes in breast shape, so we can provide makeover options that suit you.
During your initial visit, you will meet with Dr. Suresh Koneru, our board-certified plastic surgeon with over 28 years of experience. We offer multiple cosmetic solutions, so your plan can be surgical, non-surgical, or completed over multiple visits, depending on what works best for you.
During initial consultations, we start by listening to what our New Braunfels clients hope to achieve with post-pregnancy body contouring. You may want to focus on your midsection first, or you may care most about your breast shape after nursing. Once we understand your aesthetic goals, we will go over some common procedures, such as:
From there, we will help you select which procedures you wish to proceed with based on your anatomy and comfort level. We also want to hear your motivation for seeking body contouring, such as wanting clothes to fit better or your stomach to feel firmer when you move.
Another important aspect of the initial consultation is considering your schedule. If you have small children, work deadlines, or travel, we can create a treatment plan that accommodates them.
A focused exam helps Dr. Koneru evaluate your skin laxity, muscle separation, and natural breast position, and photos assist with both planning your mommy makeover and helping you track your progress. We will also clearly discuss where we will make incisions and how bras and swimwear typically cover these scars.
You can also expect to learn how skin quality and tissue thickness affect which options will look most natural. If you have had prior C-sections or abdominal surgery, we review how that may influence incision placement and your recovery.
This early stage of your mommy makeover is your opportunity to understand what will change, what will stay the same, and what healing will require from you.
At your initial appointment, Dr. Koneru will go over his fast recovery after plastic surgery (FRAPS) approach that supports smoother healing for mommy makeover clients in and around New Braunfels. FRAPS focuses on your comfort, preventing nausea, and how you should move after your procedure to return to your normal routines sooner. We explain easy steps you can take before surgery, such as hydration and nutrition, to help facilitate your recovery.
You will also learn why we aim to limit prescription pain medicine when possible and what that means for your day-to-day comfort. We also outline simple walking goals and household planning tips so you can feel steady and safe during the first week.
The first visit to our office is the time for New Braunfels clients to ask questions about getting a mommy makeover. We encourage you to ask everything you can think of, such as post-procedure downtime, activity limits, and follow-up appointments. We also encourage you to ask about procedure sequencing if you want more than one area treated.
Before you leave our office, you should feel confident with the expected timeline and how to plan help at home.
Your initial consultation for a mommy makeover in New Braunfels can help you understand your options and outline a recovery plan that fits your life. Take the first practical step toward feeling comfortable, supported, and proud of your body again. Contact us to schedule your visit with Dr. Koneru.
