What’s Included in a Mommy Makeover?
So which surgeries are included in the mommy makeover package? The
answer may vary slightly from one patient to the next; the moms we
meet are by no means uniform in their aesthetic needs and goals, and
we can design a mommy makeover that’s customized to meet
their objectives.
With that said, a mommy makeover will usually consist of some
combination of the following:
- Breast augmentation (to enhance breast volume)
- Breast lift (to change the shape of the breasts)
-
Tummy tuck (eliminating flab or stretch marks along the abdomen)
- Vaginal rejuvenation (usually through non-surgical means)
Together, these procedures are designed to restore the way you
looked pre-pregnancy, and also to give a little boost to your
self-confidence.
What are the Advantages of a Mommy Makeover?
Of course, you don’t have to have these procedures done as
part of a “mommy makeover,” but it can often be
advantageous to do so.
The reason for this is simple: By electing to have a mommy makeover,
you can have
all of these procedures done at the same time, rather than having multiple separate surgeries in a row. This
means you only have to come into the operating room once; you only
have to go under anesthesia once, and you only have one
post-surgical recovery period, as opposed to needing multiple
downtimes.
In essence, it’s simply a convenient way to minimize any
risks, as well as to abbreviate the time it takes to get back on
your feet.
Who is the Mommy Makeover Procedure For?
Now that we’ve answered the question, what is a mommy
makeover, let’s turn to a related one:
Who is this procedure for?
As the name suggests, women who have had children are perfect
candidates for a Mommy Makeover. But, you do not have to have had
children to make this procedure perfect for you. If you are looking
to have a combination of any of the services listed above, it makes
you a great candidate!
Just because you have a mommy makeover, that doesn’t mean you
can’t have kids again or in the future, if you so choose.
However, doing so many undo some of the results of your surgery. As
such, it’s simply wise to wait until you’re done
having children before you have a mommy makeover done.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
If you match the description in our previous section (that is,
you’re a mom and you think you’re done having kids),
then you’re probably a good candidate for a mommy makeover.
Before we agree to the surgery, however, we’ll want to talk
with you, conduct a quick physical exam, take your medical history,
and ensure you’re in a good, healthy place to have surgery.
In the era of COVID-19, much of this can happen virtually, if you so
desire.
In some cases, medical conditions or medication use may put you at a
higher risk for surgical complications or for a rocky recovery
period. We’ll want to make sure you don’t have any
such issues before we start talking more seriously about your
procedure.
The most important thing for us is ensuring the safety of our
patients… always.
