Are you still working at getting your body back after childbirth? It’s a struggle that many of you have experienced. Plastic surgeons are often called to help when diet and exercise do not achieve desired results.
“Mommy makeover” is a term for a treatment plan that will help you regain your figure when you are finished having children. There is a collection of surgeries that may be included in the makeover, as it depends on what area you are looking to improve. Mommy makeovers have been trending for over a decade as women like you choose to feel more confident in their body through various surgical procedures.
What Does a Mommy Makeover Mean to You?
From breasts to tummies, to backs and bottoms, plastic surgeons can help turn-back-time. Your mommy makeover may include one or more procedures such as:
- Breast Augmentation, Lift, or Reduction
- Tummy Tuck or Circumferential Abdominoplasty
- Liposuction
Plastic surgeons will often perform mommy makeover services during a single-session surgery or in as few operative sessions as possible depending on the number of problem areas you want to change.
Do I Need to Lose Weight Before Surgery?
Mommy makeovers address problems that diet and exercise could not such as excess skin after weight loss or sagging breasts after breastfeeding. These procedures are not designed to aid in losing weight but will help improve the appearance of the targeted areas. It is highly recommended that before surgery you achieve your ideal weight and maintain it afterward.
How Long is Recovery?
Bouncing back after surgery is fairly quick, about two weeks on average. Once you return to your daily activities, you will want to limit exercise and heavy lifting for another month.
During the first few weeks, you may want to sleep in a recliner, especially if you had a tummy tuck or a breast augmentation. This will help with swelling and prevent pressure to the tender areas.
