Get Your Pre-Baby Body Back With a Mommy Makeover
Becoming a mother is a beautiful and life-changing experience, but there’s no doubt that it can also bring about significant changes to your body. Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can take a toll on your physical appearance and leave you longing for your pre-baby body.
While lifestyle modifications like diet and exercise can go a long way in keeping your body healthy, sometimes it’s just not enough to address the changes motherhood has bestowed upon your body. That’s where mommy makeovers come into the picture.
A mommy makeover isn’t a one-size-fits-all procedure. Rather, it’s a personalized combination of cosmetic surgeries designed to address the specific issues that occur after pregnancy and childbirth. Here in Southlake, Texas, Tarik Madni, MD 一 a premier plastic surgeon and board-certified general surgeon 一 encourages you to visit us to learn more about which specific mommy makeover procedures can help you win back your pre-baby body.
In the meantime, continue reading to learn more about mommy makeovers.
What is a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover typically includes a combination of two or more cosmetic surgical procedures, such as:
- Breast augmentation to increase the size of your breasts
- Breast mastopexy (breast lift) to correct sagging, drooping, and uneven breast size
- Liposuction to surgically remove unwanted fat from trouble areas
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to remove excess abdominal skin and tighten the muscle wall
- Thigh lift to reshape your legs
- Arm lift surgery to remove excess fat and skin from your upper arms
In some cases, women may also add nonsurgical procedures, such as dermal fillers, to their makeover plan as well. Each mommy makeover, regardless of whether you choose solely surgical options or a blend of surgical and nonsurgical options, is completely tailored to meet your needs.
Benefits of a mommy makeover
A mommy makeover is a comprehensive way to address multiple aesthetic goals at once. Not only is it convenient, but it also provides the following benefits:
Restored confidence
Many women struggle with body image after childbirth. According to a 2022 article, about 50% of mothers between the age of 18 and 45 were unhappy with their body weight and body shape. This unhappiness leads to poor self-esteem, but thankfully a mommy makeover can help you feel more like yourself again and boost your self-esteem.
Reclaiming your pre-baby body
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can lead to sagging breasts, stretched abdominal muscles (which contributes to the “mommy pooch”), and unwanted fat deposits. Stretched abdominal muscles, known as diastasis recti, can cause more than just a belly pooch. It can also contribute to low back pain, poor posture, and a general feeling of weakness in your core. A mommy makeover can reverse these changes and help you reclaim your pre-baby body.
Customized solutions
Your body is unique, and that’s something to celebrate! Your mommy makeover taps into your specific concerns and desires. You can choose the procedures that will give you the best results.
Efficient recovery
Combining procedures into a single surgery can result in a more efficient recovery process compared to having multiple surgeries at different times.
Long-lasting results
The results of a mommy makeover are designed to be long-lasting. With proper care and maintenance, you can enjoy your rejuvenated appearance for years to come.
