A “mommy makeover” is a term used to describe a combination of cosmetic surgical procedures typically performed on women after pregnancy and childbirth. These procedures aim to help women regain their pre-pregnancy bodies and address the physical changes that can occur due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, and childbirth.
A typical mommy makeover may include a combination of the following procedures:
- Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): This surgery removes excess abdominal skin and tightens the abdominal muscles, addressing issues like diastasis recti and loose skin that can occur during pregnancy.
- Breast Augmentation, Lift, or Reduction: These procedures can address changes in breast size, shape, and position that often occur during and after pregnancy.
- Liposuction: Liposuction can be used to remove stubborn fat deposits from various areas of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, and hips.
- Labiaplasty: Some women opt for labiaplasty as part of a mommy makeover to address changes in the appearance of the genital area that can occur during childbirth.
The specific combination of procedures in a mommy makeover varies depending on the individual’s unique goals and needs. It’s crucial for anyone considering a mommy makeover to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon or a qualified cosmetic surgeon. They will assess the patient’s health, discuss their goals, and create a personalized treatment plan to achieve the desired results.
Keep in mind that any surgical procedure carries risks, and recovery times can vary. Patients should thoroughly research and discuss the potential risks and benefits with their surgeon before proceeding with a mommy makeover.
