Mommy Makeover Surgery

Are you tired of stretched skin on your stomach and sagging breasts after pregnancy? This can occur after one or more pregnancies. Though motherhood is such a great feeling of having a baby in your arms, this can leave many physical changes in your body. During pregnancy, your stomach and breasts become larger in size and then shrink after childbirth and breastfeeding. This can make you unhappy and you may lose your confidence. To restore your belly and breasts, a mommy makeover is the best solution.

A mommy makeover is a surgical procedure that can help restore the changes caused by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding.

Procedures Included in Mommy Makeover

Mommy makeover is a combination of procedures and you will be given local or general anesthesia. The surgeon will determine the right anesthesia for you. The mommy makeover procedure can be customized as per the patient’s needs. In general, the following can be included in a mommy makeover procedure:

Breast augmentation: Breast augmentation helps to lift and increase the size of your breasts by using breast implants or with fat transfer. This can help restore the lost fullness of your breasts after pregnancy and breastfeeding. This procedure can also help get a rounded breast shape.
Tummy tuck: A tummy tuck procedure helps to get a flat and well-toned abdomen. This surgery will repair the weakened or separated muscles by removing the excess fat and skin. This will give a firmer and smoother look to your abdomen.
Breast lift: Breast lift surgery raises the breasts by removing excess skin and by tightening the tissues surrounding the breasts. This surgery can result in raised breasts and gives a younger look. It is beneficial for women whose breasts have changed in shape after pregnancy and childbirth.
Liposuction: If diet and exercise have not helped you get rid of stubborn fat after pregnancy, liposuction can battle those body fat. Liposuction removes excess fat deposits and improves curves and body proportions.

Recovery and Aftercare Following Mommy Makeover

After your surgery, the treated areas will be tender, sore, and tight. All the incisions will be covered with bandages and gauges. You may experience pulling pain around your abdomen for a few days. You may also have swelling at the belly and breasts for a week, but this will reduce over time. You will be advised to take pain medications to deal with your pain. You should not sleep on your belly for about six weeks, and should also avoid exercise and lifting heavy objects. To reduce swelling, you will be given a compression garment to wear for around 6 weeks. In most cases, you can get back to daily activities within four weeks of your surgery.

Results

As your body heals, swelling, scar lines, and incisions marks will fade away and the implants will settle. It takes several months to see the results of surgery. If you have opted for a tummy tuck, then you will have a flat tummy. If you have also opted for a breast lift, you will have raised breasts. All together can help you look younger and can improve your self-confidence. In most cases, you can achieve the best results with a single surgery. In some cases, you may need another surgery to achieve best possible results.

It is important to follow the instructions given by your plastic surgeon for a successful outcome. The surgeon will give you proper instruction on how to take care of yourself.
