After two kids my core never came back, no matter how much I trained. The muscle repair made a bigger difference than I expected, and the recovery plan meant I always knew what week two and week six should feel like.Danielle R.Calgary, Mahogany
Mommy makeover for Airdrie patients
Calgary-based surgery and recovery planning, a short drive down the QEII from Airdrie.
Planning surgery from Airdrie
Airdrie is one of the fastest growing cities in Alberta, and a large share of its residents are young families. Many moms there commute into Calgary already, so a consultation in the city is a familiar drive up and down the QEII.
A mommy makeover usually combines a body procedure, such as a tummy tuck, with a breast procedure, such as a breast lift. Doing them together means one anaesthetic and one recovery, which matters when you are juggling school runs in Airdrie and a partner who works in the city.
What Airdrie patients usually ask us first
- How to time surgery around a partner's work schedule and childcare
- Whether follow-up visits can be grouped to cut down on highway trips
- How long before they can lift a toddler or drive again
- What a realistic total cost looks like, including garments and aftercare
Your appointments, step by step
- ConsultationOne visit covers every area you want to discuss. You leave with a written plan and a cost estimate, with no deposit required on the day.
- Pre-operative visitFinal measurements, photos and recovery instructions. We try to schedule it so that you avoid rush hour on the QEII.
- Surgery dayYou need an adult to drive you home to Airdrie and stay with you for the first night.
- Follow-upsEarly checks in the first two weeks, then visits spaced out over several months. We group appointments wherever possible.
Recovering at home in Airdrie
Set up a recovery station on the main floor before surgery so you avoid stairs for the first few days. Keep your compression garment, medications, water and phone charger within reach.
Short walks are encouraged from day one. Airdrie's paved pathway network around Nose Creek Park is a gentle, flat option once you are comfortable walking outdoors.
Procedures Airdrie moms combine most
- Tummy tuck with diastasis recti repair
- Breast lift with implants
- Liposuction of the flanks and back
- Lymphatic drainage during recovery
What moms across the Calgary region say
I was nervous about looking overdone. We talked through sizing for almost an hour and the result looks like me before breastfeeding, just lifted.Priya S.Airdrie
The consultation was honest. I came in asking for a full tummy tuck and was told a mini plus some lipo would suit me better. They were right.Megan T.Cochrane
Having both procedures done together meant one recovery instead of two. My husband took two weeks off, my mom helped with the kids, and the staged plan made it manageable.Alyssa K.Okotoks
