Originally made famous by the Hollywood elite, mommy makeover surgery has become a must-have procedure for many new mothers to restore their physical appearance after childbirth.
After giving birth and breastfeeding, some mothers are not happy that their bodies do not return to their pre-pregnancy shape. The term "mommy makeover" refers to a combination of body-contouring procedures that help restore the patient's body to its original shape and appearance or even better than before pregnancy.
The broad term "mommy makeover" refers to various procedures based on the patient's concerns and desires. Some of the most popular items included in a mommy makeover are:
Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can cause lasting unwanted changes in a woman's body. Most of the changes occur in the abdomen and breast area. Therefore, mommy makeover surgery typically concentrates on those two areas but may extend to other areas such as arms, thighs, and buttocks if desired.
The most valuable benefit of having mommy makeover surgery is the renewed confidence and comfort you will have in your body. Post-pregnancy changes can leave a new mother feeling discouraged. The contouring and shaping that comes with mommy makeover surgery will restore your confidence, leaving you feeling good about your body again. Other secondary benefits include:
After having a baby, your body needs time to heal and settle back to normal. Your "normal" may or may not be your original shape. Typically, doctors require that you wait about one year before having mommy makeover surgery. However, in some cases, you can proceed with the surgery six months after giving birth if you and your doctor feel that your body is ready.
Additionally, physicians recommend that only women in good health who are non-smokers and do not plan on having any more children are good candidates for the surgery. You will want to continue with a healthy lifestyle of a balanced diet and exercise after the surgery to continue enjoying the lasting benefits.
