A mommy makeover is a popular procedure that new Moms get to recover their “pre-baby body” through a series of body contouring procedures. The most popular procedures in a mommy makeover include a tummy tuck, breast lift, liposuction, breast augmentation, and a body lift.
Typically, many of these postpartum procedures can be handled in one surgery or a short series of surgeries. The idea is for new mothers to get their body back to where it was before they got pregnant and went through childbearing and breastfeeding.
The Goal of a Mommy Makeover
Having kids is great! Being a mother is one of the most rewarding experiences a woman can have. But it also takes a toll on the body, something women notice not long after giving birth. Those can include sagging breasts and buttocks and a larger abdomen and waist.
For years, Hollywood stars have returned from having children looking a lot like they did before they had children. Eventually, people learned about the plastic surgeons that worked on their bodies, and more people wanted access to the same postpartum procedures.
Now, the mommy makeover is a very popular procedure for new mothers. If it’s possible to get your body back to where it was before birth, why not take that opportunity?
Popular Mommy Makeover Procedures
The following are five of the most popular procedures that are part of a mommy makeover. As always, you want to consult with an experienced plastic surgeon before making a decision on what procedures you want done.
Breast Lift
This ranks high on the mommy makeover list. After breastfeeding, many mothers find that their breasts have sagged from where they once were, even if they are still relatively young. A breast lift enhances the appearance of breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the tissue around the breasts. This allows the plastic surgeon to reshape the contour of the breasts, giving them more lift.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck deals with the issue of excess skin and fat around the abdominal area, another frequent issue with new Moms. As part of the mommy makeover, plastic surgeons remove skin and fat. Also, they may restore weakened muscles in the abdomen. Together, all this creates an abdomen that is much more smooth, firm and shapely.
Liposuction
This is where plastic surgeons can truly help with body contour and shape. Liposuction involves the removal of excess fat from different parts of the body, creating a shapelier figure. Common areas treated through liposuction include the abdomen, thighs, hips and arms.
Breast Augmentation
Another consequence of pregnancy and childbirth for some Moms is that their breasts lose shape and volume. Breast augmentation involves the issue of either breast implants or fat from other parts of the body to increase the volume in the breasts. Along with reshaping, this can also lead to better balance in the shape and size of the breasts and hips.
Body Lift
A body lift may sound like liposuction, but it involves more than the removal of fat. The procedure also removes excess, sagging skin and strengthens the underlying tissue that supports fat and skin. Areas where patients often choose to have a body lift include the abdomen, hips, thighs and buttocks.
These are some of the more popular procedures involved in a mommy makeover. While not all will apply to everyone, new Moms typically want one of the above. With the safe postpartum procedures available today, it’s possible to look and feel great by getting back the body you once had!
