Achieving the ideal shape is now possible with the Mommy Makeover. Some women may experience severe changes in their bodies after pregnancy. The abdominal muscle may loosen and split in the midline, and pregnant women may also have excess abdominal skin. Gain weight, stretch marks and saggy breasts are also the result of pregnancy. This is a combination of a Tummy Tuck and a Breast Augmentation procedure, which can help these women get amazing results.

The Mommy Makeover involves different types of plastic surgeries:

The gift of motherhood is the gift that keeps on giving every day and night for the rest of your life. But it is also bound to come with changes to your body as a result of carrying your little one for nine months, and then breastfeeding him/her for a period of time. Many women would like to get back to their pre-pregnancy bodies, but sometimes exercise and diet doesn’t quite work. This is where the Mommy Makeover procedure comes in.

A mommy makeover is a combination of two or more cosmetic surgical procedures which are done post-pregnancy with the aim of restoring or improving the shape and appearance of a woman’s body after giving birth. Most of the common procedures done during a Mommy Makeover include breast enhancement, liposuction, and tummy tuck among others. All these procedures are typically performed in a single session.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

The abdominoplasty procedure involves the removal of fat and of skin as well, in addition to the tightening of abdominal muscles. This procedure is indicated for patients whose skin stretches beyond its elasticity. A protruding abdomen, disproportioned with the rest of the body, can be corrected with a tummy tuck procedure. This procedure facilitates the tightening of underlying stomach muscles, which have loosened, weakened or separated over time. It also aids in the flattening and reshaping of the abdomen. Stretch marks can also be improved with this procedure, especially those below the navel.

Breast Augmentation and/or Lift

Another typical procedure for the Mommy Makeover is correcting the breasts. While some moms can get an acceptable cosmetic result from augmentation alone or from a breast lift (mastopexy) alone, many moms who have a combination of breast volume loss and excess skin will require both, a breast augmentation and a breast lift.

Breast augmentation

The Breast Augmentation surgery or augmentation mammoplasty is the surgical placement of breast implants to increase fullness, restore volume and improve symetry of the breasts. The implants are positioned either in the middle of the breast tissue and the pectorals, underneath the fascia, or the pectoral muscle’s fibrous tissue, or below the pectoral muscle.

Breast Lift

Breast Lift surgery raises and makes breasts firmer. It removes excess breast skin, in addition to tightening the tissue to adapt to the breast’s new shape. This procedure involves the removal or replacement of the nipple-areola. The procedure does not affect the breast’s sensitivity and it also does not increase the chances of getting breast cancer. During surgery, the surgeon removes the excess tissues and overstretched ligaments and moves the areola higher to decrease its size.

Vaser Liposuction

Liposuction is a procedure that removes excess fat underneath the skin through suctioning. This procedure focuses more on the body’s regular shape. A suctioning tool or aspirator and a cannula are used to remove fat, and several other techniques are also employed. This procedure can also be used for the treatment of pockets on several parts of the body such as the arms, waist, abdomen, hips, thighs, back, and legs.

Advantages of Mommy Makeover

How a mother feels about herself as a mother and as a woman is an integral part of her self-image and self-esteem. A Mommy Makeover can help improve or restore the patient’s figure in as little as one day. This procedure will only require a brief recovery time. Breast and tummy makeovers can be combined and performed. Recovery time is generally about 10 days to two weeks long.

Mommy Makeover Recovery Process

With check out from the hospital, the patient typically has minor bandages, which are changed the following day, and new ones placed. The patient is given a compression garment in cases of liposuction and tummy tuck, which she has to wear throughout for the next 30 days, after which it can be worn for only 12 hours a day for 30 more days.

A sufficient amount of bed-rest is recommended during the recovery period, which can be about 2 weeks. Strenuous activity should be avoided, but normal day-to-day activities can typically be resumed after these 2 weeks.

Over a period of about 4 weeks, the patient would typically have several postoperative visits to the clinic to monitor the healing process.
