(Newswire.net — November 5, 2019) — Having children is one of life’s greatest gifts. Unfortunately, too often pregnancy and breast-feeding results in body changes that leave you with permanent qualitative and structural changes that can make it difficult, if not impossible, to regain your pre-pregnancy figure no matter how hard you try. Here’s where the mommy makeover comes to the rescue.
The Mommy Makeover
This article explains what the mommy makeover is, the best time for one and the typical recovery time for a mommy makeover.
What Exactly is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a combination of cosmetic surgery procedures that aim to correct body changes that occur because of having children. A mommy makeover will typically involve the breasts and abdomen and is patient specific. It aims to return the body to a more pre-pregnancy figure and possibly better in some areas. Other cosmetic procedures, in addition to addressing areas affecting the abdomen and breasts, can also be performed at the same time to help you obtain the appearance you’ve always desired.
For many women, pregnancy comes with a loss of youthful shape, firmness and volume of breasts as well as stretch marks and drooping. Breastfeeding can also exacerbate these problems. Some women will even experience a permanent increase in breast size. All these issues can be effectively addressed with cosmetic procedures such as breast reduction, breast lift with or without implants or a breast augmentation.
Similarly, cosmetic procedures such as liposuction, mini tummy tuck and tummy tuck can be considered to address changes in the appearance of the abdomen following pregnancy. You can also elect to have other procedures such as eyelid surgery at the same time. With one session, your body can be rejuvenated to a more desirable shape that can work wonders for your sense of attractiveness, self-confidence, psyche and happiness.
Best Time for a Mommy Makeover
There are two main factors to consider regarding the timing of a mommy makeover. First, if you’re planning to have an additional pregnancy in the near future, it’s advisable to delay the procedure until after you’re finished having children. This is mainly because additional pregnancies may cause many of the adverse effects on your body.
If you’re not planning to have children any time soon, the ideal waiting period is usually about six months after pregnancy and three to six months after you’ve stopped breastfeeding. These periods are usually long enough for most of the weight gained due to pregnancy to be lost, for stretched out tissue to tighten up on its own and elevated hormone levels to normalize. The time period also provides for a more stable long-term results, greater precision in treatment and a more accurate assessment of physical issues.
Bottom Line
The mommy makeover is patient-specific so everything from costs to recovery times will vary as well. Nonetheless, this powerful procedure has allowed many women to enjoy amazing and dramatic benefits. It’s crucial, therefore, to do your due diligence when choosing a plastic surgeon and work with an expert who can deliver your desired results.
