18 Oct Mommy Makeover Surgery Options
Many women consider having a mommy makeover after they have had their last child. Often, women desire and crave the body they once had prior to their childbearing years. One of the first questions women ask is, “What exactly happens during a mommy makeover?” They like the potential of what will be, but need to know what will be involved to get the results desired.
Types of Procedures in a Mommy Makeover
The mommy makeover you receive will depend on the procedures that you and your surgeon select. The majority of women have different procedures combined for the ultimate result. Some of the procedures that are combined to make up the mommy makeover are:
Liposuction and a tummy tuck are usually combined together for ultimate results. The tummy tuck removes excess sagging skin in the abdominal area while the liposuction contours the body and removes stubborn deposits of fatty tissue- unaffected by dieting and exercise. These techniques work together to give the patient the ultimate body contour they are desiring.
Pregnancy and everything that goes with it, can cause the breasts to enlarge temporarily and then shrink. Most women feel insecure and unhappy when their breasts appear deflated and saggy.
A breast lift will reposition the breasts on a higher plane and the nipples will be raised to point forward once again. It is also a possibility to additionally undergo a breast augmentation, if the breasts also need fullness restored. The end result is firm, shapely breasts proportioned to your body.
Mommy Makeover Recovery
It will take several weeks to heal from a mommy makeover. Depending on the extent of your procedures, you will be limited in activities so it is always wise to find family or friends to help in the recovery period. While you are in the healing process you can expect symptoms such as :
- Swelling
- Tightness
- Pain
- Discomfort
- Bruising
As the healing continues over time, you will begin to see the transformation and the results of your mommy makeover. It is possible that it may take as much as a few months to see the final results, but most women agree that it was well worth the wait.
