Even a mother who stays extremely healthy during her pregnancy might not be able to avoid some of the lingering cosmetic issues that take place after giving birth. Rapid changes to one’s weight and hormones often result in sagging breasts, uneven breasts, cellulite and loose skin around the midsection. A mommy makeover addresses all of these issues at once in order to rebuild your confidence and self-image.
The Long-Term Effects of a Pregnancy
Nothing can be compared to bringing a child into this world, but that doesn’t mean this miraculous event won’t result in a number of unwanted side effects. The sudden and drastic change to a woman’s weight does impact the distribution of her skin and other soft tissue. Regular exercise and a healthy diet reduce one’s risk of loose skin, but they are not foolproof strategies. Many women also experience drooping or uneven breasts because of hormonal changes and a loss of fatty tissue. If you have found yourself struggling with any of these cosmetic problems, then a mommy makeover might be just what you need to get your pre-baby body back.
Dramatic Changes with a Mommy Makeover
A mommy makeover is a personalized treatment plan that is designed to address one or more cosmetic issues after giving birth. The procedures that are carried out during a mommy makeover can be as simple as non-invasive cellulite treatments or as comprehensive as a body lift. The three most popular procedures for post-birth women are breast enhancements, fat removal and tummy tucks. Many mothers also opt for skin tightening treatments to erase cellulite and stretch marks.
Deciding What is Right for You
No two mommy makeovers are alike because no two mothers have the same needs. This is why it is so important to work with our experienced surgical team, who will personalize your treatment so you can achieve your own unique cosmetic goals. We ask all of our patients to schedule an initial consultation with our surgeon so that they can learn more about the various treatment options. Once the consultation is over, you will know exactly what to expect after your procedure and the steps that must be taken to maintain the results.
Getting Ready for Your Mommy Makeover
Most mommy makeovers involve at least one major surgery, and that is why you should plan on resting for two to three weeks after your procedure. In most cases, brand new mothers who are still caring for young children do not make the best mommy makeover candidates. Mothers should have a loved one ready to take them home and help them with their basic needs in the days following the procedure.
