Thinking About Getting a Mommy Makeover? 

After pregnancy and childbirth, many women struggle with the ways their bodies have changed and how this affects their confidence. Through the hormonal changes and weight fluctuations during and after pregnancy, the body goes through a lot and may appear significantly different than it did pre-pregnancy. Women often experience stubborn fat in the lower abdomen (sometimes called a postpartum pooch) and sagging breasts. It can be challenging to deal with these physical changes and the emotional impact that comes with them. 

For many women, Mommy Makeover surgery can provide great physical and emotional relief. A typical Mommy Makeover consists of a breast procedure (breast augmentation, breast lift, or both), tummy tuck, and liposuction. These three procedures target the breasts and stomach, which are two body areas that are usually the most affected after childbirth. However, Mommy Makeovers are highly customizable procedures, so patients can choose which surgeries they would like included in their procedure to best suit their needs and desires.  

Combining Plastic Surgery Procedures

One of the defining characteristics of a Mommy Makeover is that multiple surgical techniques are combined in one procedure to enhance multiple body areas at once. The nature of this combination procedure also brings several other benefits that make it an appealing choice for many women looking to restore their pre-pregnancy bodies. 

One Recovery Period

Many patients want to improve the appearance of multiple body regions, especially those who have undergone significant weight fluctuations, which is often the case for women post-pregnancy. With a Mommy Makeover, women can improve the appearance of the stomach and breasts and only have one recovery period, as opposed to multiple if they had chosen to get the procedures done separately. One recovery period allows you to take less time off work and daily activities in the long run, so you don’t have to worry about putting your life on hold for too long. 

Saving Money

Sometimes, patients are apprehensive about getting a combination procedure because of the anticipated cost, and they may feel like they can only afford one surgery for the time being. Even though you will likely pay more up front with a Mommy Makeover than if you were to get a tummy tuck as a standalone procedure, it is important to factor in the associated costs. In addition to the surgeon’s fee for the procedure, there are also surgical facility and anesthesia fees. If you get multiple surgeries done at different times, you’ll need to pay for these additional fees for every appointment. Yet, with a Mommy Makeover, you may be able to save money in the long run by only paying these additional costs once. 

Comprehensive Results 

Due to the stomach significantly stretching during pregnancy to accommodate growing a baby, many women are left with sagging skin and stubborn fat deposits in the abdomen. Additionally, weight fluctuations and bodily changes during breastfeeding often result in deflated and saggy breasts. By addressing multiple areas with one surgical appointment, a Mommy Makeover allows for more comprehensive and harmonious results that complement your entire figure.
