A mommy makeover, performed on women who have had children, can help mothers regain their pre-pregnancy bodies. While having a child is one of the most precious life experiences, it’s impossible to deny the effects of pregnancy on a woman’s body. Pregnancy can cause deformities in both the breasts and the abdominal area.
Mommy makeover is the aesthetic term given to the surgical plan necessary to restore and correct the abdomen and breasts to their pre-pregnancy state. A classic “mommy makeover” operation may also include breast lift, augmentation, and tummy tuck. Your surgeon will help you decide which mommy makeover operation is most suitable for achieving your goals.
If you feel bad about the changes in your body after pregnancy and want to address these issues, mommy makeover may be right for you.
Multiple Areas Can Be Corrected in a Single Operation
The aim of mommy makeover is to restore the body to its former state with a single operation. Since pregnancy affects multiple areas in many women, combining operations is often preferred to complete the recovery period in one go. The goal is to address the problems in the body at once with a single surgical operation. One surgical session means one anesthesia and one recovery period. The most frequently performed mommy makeover procedures are tummy tucks and breast lifts and augmentations.
Abdominal Aesthetics
Many women struggle to regain their pre-pregnancy body shape after pregnancy. During pregnancy, a woman’s abdomen undergoes significant changes. The skin stretches and expands to accommodate the growing baby, but the skin doesn’t always recover after childbirth. The abdominal muscles also stretch similarly during pregnancy and often separate midline, and in advanced stages, a hernia may develop.
Furthermore, localized fat deposits and excess weight that occur during or after pregnancy are among the most common aesthetic complaints of women. Therefore, localized fat deposits can be removed with liposuction, and excess fat, especially in the abdominal area, can be removed with a skin tightening operation.
Breast Aesthetics
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause breasts to sag and lose their shape. Especially after the breastfeeding period ends, volume loss, excess volume, or sagging may occur in the breasts. In this case, depending on the mother’s needs, breast lift, breast reduction, or breast augmentation surgery can be performed to correct the problem. Breast aesthetic surgeries can help women feel more confident and beautiful than ever before by giving them more aesthetically pleasing breasts. Patients can choose from various options according to their body shape and concerns. The most common procedures in mommy makeovers are:
Tummy Tuck + Breast Lift
Tummy Tuck + Breast Augmentation
Tummy Tuck + Breast Augmentation + Breast Lift
Tummy Tuck + Breast Reduction
Mommy makeover surgeries are planned individually according to the woman’s needs. It should be remembered that each patient’s circumstances are different, and the operation is planned according to the patient’s needs and wishes.
Timing of Mommy Makeovers
We advise mothers to wait until they have finished breastfeeding their last child and approximately six months afterward before undergoing mommy makeovers. This is because bodily changes continue for several months after childbirth and breastfeeding. Couples who wish to have another child should undergo these procedures after completing the childbearing process. Otherwise, the procedures may need to be repeated.
Generally, all mothers feel very lucky and happy to have children. They also want to maintain their aesthetic appearance. To achieve this and regain lost self-confidence, they can obtain more detailed information about mommy makeovers from an expert aesthetic surgeon.
