Reclaim Your Pre-Pregnancy Confidence
A mommy makeover is a personalized set of cosmetic procedures designed to help women address the physical changes that occur after pregnancy and childbirth. This comprehensive approach aims to restore or even enhance your pre-pregnancy appearance, boosting your confidence and helping you feel like yourself again.
The Procedures
A mommy makeover typically includes a combination of the following procedures:
- Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the abdominal muscles, resulting in a flatter and firmer stomach.
- Breast Surgery: This can include breast augmentation, lift, or reduction to address changes in breast size, shape, and position.
- Liposuction: Targets stubborn fat deposits in various areas of the body, such as the hips, thighs, and abdomen, to improve body contours.
- Buttock Enhancement: Enhances the shape and size of the buttocks through procedures like fat grafting or implants.
Pre-Surgery Preparation
- Depending on the surgeries you require and their complexity, it may be necessary to divide the surgeries into two separate trips. This is because your safety is the top priority, and it is not advisable to perform large surgeries at the same time.
- Before undergoing a mommy makeover, you will need a thorough medical evaluation to ensure you are a good candidate for surgery.
- You'll receive instructions about medications to stop taking before surgery and when to stop them.
- Taking medications or supplements that thin the blood can affect the blood's ability to clot. They can increase the risk of hematomas after surgery. These medications include blood thinners, aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), ginseng, Ginkgo biloba, fish oil and others.
- You'll be asked to avoid eating anything after midnight the night before your surgery.
Considerations and Risks
As with any surgical procedure, a mommy makeover comes with potential risks and complications:
- Infection and Bleeding: There is a risk of infection and bleeding with any surgery.
- Scarring: While surgeons strive to minimize scarring, some scars are inevitable. They are usually well-hidden and fade over time.
- Anesthesia Risks: General anesthesia carries its own set of risks, which will be discussed with you prior to surgery.
- Changes in Sensation: Temporary or permanent changes in sensation in the treated areas can occur.
- Asymmetry: There may be slight asymmetry in the results, which can sometimes require additional procedures to correct.
