Turn Back the Hands of Time With a Mommy Makeover
You don't have to live with the changes that happened to your body during pregnancy. Mommy makeovers help women get their bodies back after having children. During a mommy makeover, you can address the common effects of aging and childbearing.
Giving birth is a beautiful experience that can, unfortunately, wreak havoc on your body. Some women can easily bounce back after giving birth or having a C-section, while others can't. Mommy makeovers are for when your body needs a little extra help getting back to what it once was.
You can restore your body to its pre-pregnancy shape, from body contouring to breast enhancements, while addressing areas of concern. Contact APS Institute of South Florida to learn more about our mommy makeover services.
What's a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover helps women rejuvenate their bodies after having children. Mommy makeovers aren't one-size-fits-all. Your plastic surgeon can customize the procedure to fit your lifestyle, anatomy, and needs.
Some of the common events that lead to a mommy makeover include:
-
Breastfeeding
-
Pregnancy
-
Age
-
Weight loss or gain
-
Menopause
All of these events can take a toll on your body. For example, with pregnancy, your skin might stretch past its ability to bounce back to normal. You're left with contour irregularities and saggy skin.
Some patients might lose breast volume. They could also develop some pockets of stubborn fat that are resistant to exercise and diet.
An experienced plastic surgeon will help you pick the right combination of cosmetic procedures that help you target your problem areas.
What's included in a Mommy Makeover?
Liposuction
Liposuction helps remove excess pockets of fat. This procedure can help you speed up weight loss after having a baby.
During liposuction, a small cut is made into the target area. A suction tube, or cannula, gets inserted into the incision. Your fat cells are then sucked out through the tube.
Once the fat has been removed, your skin will get pulled tight. Any excess skin will be removed.
Arm Lift
Are you self-conscious about your skin flapping when you move or wave your arms? An arm lift can help.
Arm lifts help remove excess skin and fat from your lower and upper arms. Your surgeon will cut the underside of your arm. They'll then remove the fat and excess skin.
Breast Lift/Augmentation
Your breasts might sag after having children. As your breasts start to pull downward, you'll notice that your nipples point in the same direction. A breast lift can help get your breasts looking perky again.
If your breasts are smaller after breastfeeding, you can also have breast implants done. Breast implants will help restore their shape and size.
Your plastic surgeon will cut to remove excess skin from your breasts during a breast lift. They'll tighten your muscles, reshaping your breasts, so they look symmetrical.
Tummy Tuck
Pregnancy can leave you with unwanted skin that doesn't bounce back to what it used to look like. You're often left with droopy skin that won't go away.
A tummy tuck can give you a flat stomach. An incision gets made on your stomach, and your plastic surgeon will remove any fat present.
Then, your stomach muscles will get stretched, and the skin will get pulled tight. Any excess skin will be removed.
How Do I Know if a Mommy Makeover Is Right for Me?
Your body can change a lot due to aging and giving birth. It gets challenging to feel good about yourself when you're not confident in your body.
Get back your self-esteem with a mommy makeover. Be honest with yourself and your plastic surgeon about the areas of your body you're not happy with. They'll help you get back to your former, youthful figure.
How Long Is the Recovery Process?
A mommy makeover can involve major cosmetic surgery, such as a breast lift or tummy tuck. You should prepare yourself to have a significant recovery period after your procedure.
After your surgery, you should spend a few days recovering and resting. It takes the average person around two weeks to resume their normal activities. You should avoid exercise and heavy lifting for six to eight weeks after.
