Top Five Procedures for Your Mommy Makeover


Advertisement

The physical effects of pregnancy can change your body from inside out - an increase in body fat, stretch marks and changes in breast size are just a few changes to expect. Many women are turning to cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures a few months after the birth in hopes of restoring their body to pre-pregnancy status.   

The Mommy Makeover is a package of services now available at dozens of cosmetic and plastic surgery centers across the country, a set of procedures that can remove excess fatty deposits, tighten and tone the skin and get the body back to pre-pregnancy shape. 

If you’re considering a Mommy Makeover transformation, here are five procedures to consider for your package:  

Face Lifts for Facial Rejuvenation

While most of the changes from pregnancy will take place in the midsection, thighs, buttocks and arms, some women also undergo a noticeable change in their facial structure. Increased fatty tissue around the face and neck, in addition to stretched skin or sagging can add years to your appearance; a face lift and facial rejuvenation treatments can remove the excess tissue while sculpting, tightening and toning the face.   

Breast Lift for Improved Upper Body Contours

Most women experience a dramatic increase in breast size as they begin breastfeeding. After the breastfeeding stages are over, a breast lift can help remove excess fatty tissue and skin from the chest area; the result is a sculpted and toned upper body that can improve your appearance and balance out your body’s contours.  

Tummy Tuck to Remove Excess Fat

Increased fatty tissue in the abdomen is a common effect of pregnancy, and few women can achieve a flat, sculpted stomach with exercise and dietary changes alone. A tummy tuck is one way to sculpt the midsection and remove fatty tissue and loose skin. While this surgical procedure is more intensive, it does offer the most lasting and dramatic results of all body sculpting procedures.  

Body Lift to Trim Down the Silhouette

Body lifts help to remove loose, sagging skin that will not disappear with diet and exercise alone. Body lift surgery may include a lower body lift, arm lift, or upper body lift where the connective tissue is restructured and fatty deposits are removed. Since pregnancy can leave you with excess fatty tissue and loose skin, a body lift can help re-sculpt your body for a trimmer, more youthful appearance.  

Eye Lift for a Youthful Look

Eye lifts can help you look more alert and well-rested. The effects of pregnancy and child rearing can be taxing on the body, and most of these effects will show up on the face. An eye lift can be a simple way to create a more youthful look by removing sagging skin or droopy eyelids, helping you improve the contours of your face. From body sculpting to face lifts, there are several valuable procedures that can help restore you back to pre-pregnancy status. 

The Mommy Makeover can help you sculpt and trim your body down to your ideal size and reduce the appearance of several hallmarks of pregnancy. Your doctor will determine what stage of recovery is most appropriate for a procedure, and may encourage you to make lifestyle and dietary changes to speed up the recovery process.  

Learn more about cosmetic procedures in our information guide, or set up a consultation with a doctor in your area. A Mommy Makeover package could be just what you need to enjoy a complete transformation.
