What is a Mommy Makeover?

The term “mommy makeover” is used to describe a group of cosmetic surgeries that are done at the same time to enhance the look of areas of the body that are most affected by pregnancy. These procedures are tailored to the individual patient and may include:

• Breast augmentation
• Breast lift
• Breast reduction
• Liposuction
• Tummy tuck
• Mini tummy tuck
• Brazilian butt lift
• Labiaplasty
• Non-surgical procedures

Mommy makeovers can be done after a minimum of six weeks following childbirth, while breastfeeding mothers should wait until at least six weeks after they stop breastfeeding. It is advisable to undergo a mommy makeover only when you have finished having children, as having another child can reverse the results of the procedure.

It can bring about a genuine increase in self-confidence, self-assurance, and overall satisfaction with one’s body, which are all benefits that any woman would desire.

Types of surgeries commonly performed as part of a Mommy Makeover procedure

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

A tummy tuck is an operation in which excess loose skin is removed from the abdomen while also combining liposuction to remove fat. Additionally, the muscles in the abdomen are tightened. This surgery leads to a more toned and flattened stomach for patients.

BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT

The Brazilian Butt Lift, also known as BBL, is a surgery that involves using liposuction and fat transfer techniques. Excess fat from certain areas of the body, such as the abdomen, flanks, back, and thighs, is removed through liposuction. After purifying the fat, it is then strategically injected into the buttocks and hips, resulting in a more shapely and fuller lower body for the patients.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a form of surgery that employs suction to eliminate fat from specific areas of the body, such as the stomach, hips, buttocks, or legs.

Breast Surgery

A number of patients opt to have a breast lift or/and breast augmentation, while others prefer a breast reduction.

Vaginal Plastic Surgery

Vaginoplasty is considered one of the top choices for vaginal plastic surgeries, as it aims to tighten and fix the vaginal floor. Additionally, procedures like Labiaplasty and Perineoplasty are also popular options.

Recovery & What to Expect After a Mommy Makeover

During this period, you will be in the process of regaining consciousness after being administered anesthesia. It is crucial that you arrange for someone to transport you back home from North Raleigh Plastic Surgery and also stay with you for the next 24 hours post-operation. We highly advise having a reliable companion nearby for the initial few weeks after your surgery. A helping hand will surely be invaluable to you during this time.

It is recommended that you schedule a minimum of two weeks of leave from work and refrain from any vigorous activity or exercise for six weeks. After the surgery, you will be prescribed pain medication, which may impair your ability to drive for at least a week. It is advised to sleep on your back or side with your upper body and feet elevated. Many patients prefer to sleep in a reclining chair during the recovery period.

You will need to attend at least three post-operative appointments with doctors: one scheduled for one week after the surgery, another set for two months after the surgery, and the final appointment will take place six months post-surgery. If you require any additional appointments with the doctor in the interim, please contact our office.

After undergoing surgery, it is normal to experience pain and inflammation for a period of six weeks. It is important to anticipate a recovery period of up to three months, which can vary depending on the specific procedures you underwent and your body’s healing capacity.

What results can I expect from the mummy makeover?

Usually anticipated enhancements from the surgical procedure consist of:

• Removal of excess abdominal skin and fat
• The muscles of the stomach wall are becoming more centralized and tighter.
• Reducing or replacing breast size and form.
• Making scars and stretch marks less noticeable
• The elimination of extra pockets of fat and skin in problem areas such as the waist, arms, and thighs.
• Revitalizing the look and composition of the vaginal area.
• Enhanced contentment in the overall figure and form of the body.

Typically, the noticeable outcomes of mummy makeover surgery become apparent approximately six weeks after the treatment. However, you can anticipate ongoing enhancements for the next 12 to 18 months. During your consultation, your surgeon will provide you with personalized instructions after discussing the specific combination of procedures that will be performed.

In order to achieve the best outcome from your mummy makeover surgery, it is crucial to adhere to the aftercare recommendations provided by your surgeon. Neglecting to do so could prolong your recovery period and potentially affect the desired final outcome. Additionally, following the post-operative instructions will reduce the risk of noticeable scarring.

The patient must carefully search for an appropriate service provider, have information, and ask about the surgeon and his experience. And also, checking examples of his previous operations.

Accordingly, we encourage you to contact the Health & Beauty to obtain all information and details, and to ensure that you have your operation done by the hands of the most skilled doctors working in this specialty.
