Mommy makeover is one of the most common procedures done in plastic surgery today.
What is a mommy makeover?
Mommy makeover entails breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposculpture in combination or done separately as per your requirement
What happens to the female body after childbirth?
As a result of pregnancy or Massive weight loss, the abdomen has expanded and deflated resulting in excess skin over the lower abdomen and stretch marks along with fat in the flanks and the back. This results in a lot of distress as women are not able to wear their desired outfits and have a pouch in the lower abdomen.
The breasts become heavy followed by deflation and sagginess. The rest of the body develops fat deposits especially the flanks, back and thighs.
What is the procedure for tummy tuck?
Each Mommy Makeover is unique and mommy makeovers are usually a combination of 360° liposculpture and tummy tuck where the excess skin is removed from the lower belly and a new belly button is created. Each patient is different and every patient is customized to what he or she requires
Along with this they also have divarication of recti where the rectus abdominis or the central muscles of the abdomen, they splay as the result of pregnancy, because of which there is no muscle tone in the central abdomen and as a result of this splaying, the abdominal organs content also project out resulting in the overall larger abdomen seen the upper part.
This splaying of the abdominal is corrected by repairing the defect and bringing the muscles to the center resulting in a toned abdomen
Mommy makeover can also include a breast lift or breast augmentation, liposuction of the thigh, arms and in the different areas and sometimes also a Brazilian Butt Lift.
Why Mommy Makeover?
Mommy makeover is done to make you feel better and bring back the pre-pregnancy body which is one of the most important events in a woman’s life. You want to get back the former, toned body and a mommy makeover is a great way to address these areas that may cause one to feel self-conscious and improve their aesthetics.
Are you a candidate for mommy makeover?
An important pre-requisite for an excellent result is to be close to your ideal body weight i.e. within about 5 to 10 kegs of your ideal body weight. An important aspect is to be done after having children as having a child after a tummy tuck will negate the result of the procedure as the abdomen expands again. The post-procedure is as important as the surgery itself because an excellent recovery period will give you the best possible outcome.
