Becoming a mother is one of a woman’s most rewarding experiences, but it can also take a toll on your body. Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can cause changes to your breasts, abdomen, and other areas that may be difficult to reverse through diet and exercise alone. That’s where a mommy makeover comes in.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover combines procedures designed to restore your pre-pregnancy body and boost your self-confidence. This can include a breast lift, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and liposuction, depending on your individual needs and goals.
Some common concerns that our patients hope to improve with a mommy makeover include:
- Sagging breasts
- Excess abdominal skin and stretch marks
- Diastasis recti (separation of the abdominal muscles)
- A bulging or herniated belly button
- Love handles or muffin top
Recovering from a Mommy Makeover
Recovery time can vary depending on the procedures performed and the individual patient. Following your surgeon’s post-operative instructions and avoiding strenuous activity for the first few weeks after surgery is essential. Swelling, bruising, and pain are common side effects that should subside within a few weeks.
Results and Expectations
The final results of a mommy makeover may not be immediately visible. In most cases, it takes several weeks or even months for the swelling to subside and for the final shape of the body to become apparent. Remember that a mommy makeover aims to achieve a natural-looking result rather than an unnatural or overdone appearance.
Choosing a Qualified Plastic Surgeon
If you’re considering a mommy makeover, it’s vital to research and chooses a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon. A good surgeon will take the time to understand your goals and concerns and will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that meets your needs.
