We know that becoming a mother is one of the most transformative experiences in a woman’s life, as the body undergoes major changes during pregnancy and breastfeeding. These changes, on many occasions, can affect the emotional state of mothers. The Mommy Makeover is a popular option for women who want to regain their figure after having children.
Today, Dr. Kaye Riolo, a board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 20 years of experience and a specialist in women’s surgery, will tell us about the surgical procedures included in the Mommy Makeover.
Mommy Makeover
It is a plastic surgery that combines several procedures intending to reconstruct a woman’s body after giving birth, allowing to restore confidence in her appearance and highlight her natural beauty.
approaching the pre-pregnancy figure.
Abdominoplasty
We know that being a mother involves carrying a pregnancy for approximately 9 months, so the abdomen suffers a stretching, making this one of the most affected areas in the postpartum period. The skin and abdominal muscles can be stretched or separated, we know this as diastasis, causing flaccidity and the famous “sagging tummy”.
Abdominoplasty, also known as Tummy Tuck, removes excess skin and fat while tightening the abdominal muscles. This procedure leaves a flatter and more toned abdomen,
Breast Augmentation or Breast Lift
During breastfeeding, the breasts undergo changes in size and shape. Many mothers notice that their breasts lose volume or sag over time. To restore their youthful appearance, the Mommy Makeover may include a Breast Augmentation or Breast Lift (Mastopexy). Both procedures improve the projection and firmness of the breasts, providing a more youthful and attractive appearance.
Liposuction
Pregnancy often leaves behind a few extra pounds, which can lead to fat deposits in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, and flanks, which do not always disappear with diet or exercise. Liposuction is a procedure that can be added to the Mommy Makeover to remove these areas of fat, shaping the figure for a slimmer, more balanced contour.
A plan tailored to each woman
One of the greatest advantages of the Mommy Makeover is that it is tailored to each woman’s needs. Not everyone will need the same procedures, so surgeries can be tailored to the areas of the body that each woman wants to work on. At Ideal Plastic Surgery, you will receive a pre-assessment to determine which procedures are most appropriate for you, with the goal of achieving your desired results.
