Mommy Makeover

Both pregnancy and breastfeeding cause many changes in a woman’s body, including persistent fat deposits, saggy skin, and smaller and empty breasts. However, with a Mommy Makeover, these issues can be addressed using a combination of cosmetic procedures. The procedures that a Mommy Makeover can include are as follows:

Breast augmentation or reduction

Breast Lift

Liposuction

Buttock augmentation

Tummy tuck

The customizable surgical procedures make it possible for women of all ages and body types to regain their pre-pregnancy body shapes. Mommy Makeovers help achieve a slimmer, firmer and better-looking body.

Who is a Suitable Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a highly customized procedure that can positively change the flow of life using different methods. Physical changes are often a great turning point in a person’s life, they can increase self-esteem and help patients feel confident about their bodies. Mommy Makeovers also help patients achieve desirable physical changes.  The ideal candidate for a Mommy Makeover:

Close to Their Ideal Body Weight

A Mommy Makeover is a favorable option for patients who are healthy and do not smoke (or at least can quit for a while). Women who have gone back to their ideal weight after pregnancy but are still dissatisfied with their body shape can opt for a Mommy Makeover. 

Not Thinking About Having Children Again

Wanting to have more children actually will not prevent you from having a Mommy Makeover. However, getting pregnant again can cause your body to revert to its pre-surgery condition. Hence, if you get pregnant and have children again after cosmetic surgery, you may need to repeat these procedures to restore your body.

Having Given Birth at Least 6 Months Before

Giving birth can be a traumatic event for a woman, and women need to take time to heal before any surgical procedure. Therefore, it is important for the patient to wait at least 6 months after birth before a Mommy Makeover.

Having Weaned at Least 6 Months Before

Breasts change shape during breastfeeding. The fuller and larger breasts that develop at the beginning of pregnancy shrink over time and begin to sag. For this reason, it is necessary to wait for the breasts to assume their final shape and size before a Mommy Makeover, which will take at least 6 months.

Having Realistic Expectations

It is important to inform patients as well as possible prior to any surgical procedure. When it comes to Mommy Makeovers, having detailed information about the procedure will reduce concerns. On the other hand, it is important that patients are realistic about the results they expect to see after surgery. Not having realistic expectations and thinking that a Mommy Makeover will solve all problems can cause unwanted psychological effects.

A Mommy Makeover is the beginning of a new phase. Surgical procedures offer many options to achieve the transformation that the patients desire. However, a certain period of time is required for recovery. After the operation, it will take time for the person to adapt to their new appearance. Therefore, before deciding on a Mommy Makeover, patients need to make sure they understand the changes that will occur in their lives and are ready to accept them.
