While becoming a mother can be a huge blessing, pregnancy, childbirth, and the beginning of motherhood can take a toll on the body. From losing elasticity in your skin to sagging breasts from breastfeeding, it can be hard to feel comfortable and confident about your post-pregnancy body.
That’s why at Cosmetic Surgical Group, our highly experienced team of surgeons is ready and willing to help you get back the body you had pre-pregnancy through our mommy makeover procedure. From the expertise of highly-qualified surgeons with extensive backgrounds in plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery, gynecology, and more, mothers interested in a mommy makeover can trust the team at Cosmetic Surgical Group to deliver a precise, safe, and comfortable procedure.
What Is the Mommy Makeover?
The mommy makeover is a surgical procedure that combines many other kinds of cosmetic surgeries to help mothers get back to the body they had before childbirth. From lifting the breasts to contouring the body, these procedures can not only reverse the effects that come from childbearing, breastfeeding, and natural aging but also help restore confidence.
What Does The Mommy Makeover Treat?
The mommy makeover procedure is focused on helping mothers reverse the effects that childbearing may have had on their bodies. This procedure can help treat the following:
- Sagging breasts
- Sagging skin
- Loss of volume in the breast
- Excess skin and fat around the abdominal area
- Separated or torn abdominal muscles
- Stretch marks
What Is the Mommy Makeover Procedure Like?
Our surgeons prioritize not only patient safety but also comfort. While most makeovers are not overly painful, our team takes great care to ensure all patients have a comfortable experience during their procedure. Most operations will take place while patients undergo general anesthesia; however, for less-invasive surgeries, such as a mini tummy tuck, local anesthesia may be used. No matter what your level of pain tolerance is, our surgeons are prepared to keep you pain-free and comfortable during every step of your procedure.
Because of the combination of multiple procedures into one operation, the average surgery can take between three to six hours. During your initial consultation, your surgeon will discuss with you in detail the customizable options of your mommy makeover procedures to adequately address and target your concerns and goals. In general, most mommy makeovers will include cosmetic surgeries such as:
What Are the Benefits of the Mommy Makeover?
While feeling comfortable and confident in your skin is a huge goal, its purpose is not solely cosmetic. For some mothers who have developed back pain and other postpartum medical problems, adjustments to the skin, weight, and body proportions can also relieve pain.
The mommy makeover can be a life-changing procedure, as it helps women get back to their bodies and the mindsets they had before their pregnancy. Doing this can be a huge step toward restoring confidence and self-love in mothers.
Who Is A Good Candidate for the Mommy Makeover?
The ideal candidates for the mommy makeover are mothers who are sure they are done having children and those who have not breastfed for at least six months. Committing to no longer having children is an important step of the mommy makeover process, as becoming pregnant after your surgery will undo the results of your procedures.
Good candidates for the mommy makeover are also those in overall good health, non-smokers, and people who are at their ideal body weight. Significant weight loss and weight gain can also change the appearance of your results, so it is important to maintain a stable weight.
If you are overweight or have any underlying health conditions that may make it hard to recover from surgery, this procedure may not be right for you.
What Is Recovery Like After the Mommy Makeover?
Although the mommy makeover is safe, just like with any surgery, many patients will feel a bit of discomfort in the first few days after their procedure. Common side effects from the mommy makeover can include bruising, swelling, soreness, and tenderness for at least one to three weeks. Most patients can make a full recovery within eight weeks and return to their normal routines pain-free after this period.
However, depending on your goals, medical history, and number of procedures done during your mommy makeover, your recovery time and experience may vary. Our surgeons are dedicated to customizing each treatment plan to fit each patient’s needs, and should there be any complications while you are healing, our team is prepared to help you easily manage them.
