Carrying a child and becoming a mom is a monumental experience like none other. But having a baby changes absolutely everything, including your body.
No matter how much research you do, you’re not really prepared for the changes your body undergoes during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and motherhood.
Your once full and perky breasts may sag or droop now. Or you may have a little bit of extra skin at the bottom of your tummy you just can’t seem to shake.
A mommy makeover at Kadz Plastic Surgery can help you reclaim your pre-baby body by addressing some of the changes your body has undergone.
Read on to learn what’s included with a mommy makeover and the benefits of undergoing this popular procedure.
What Does a Mommy Makeover Procedure Include?
At Kadz Plastic Surgery, a mommy makeover typically includes the following procedures.
Tummy Tuck
Many women have difficulty bouncing back after the dramatic changes their stomachs go through during pregnancy. Since your tummy had to stretch so much to accommodate your growing baby, you might be left with stubborn excess skin that just won’t tighten up.
A tummy tuck can create a smoother and tighter-looking abdomen by removing excess skin and fat that won’t respond to exercise.
Additionally, it’s common for your abdominal muscles to weaken and sometimes separate during pregnancy. This is a condition known as diastasis recti and can lead to the appearance of a protruding “pouch” of sorts.
As part of a mommy makeover, a tummy tuck can tighten, tone, and even strengthen your abdominal muscles to create a firmer and better-sculpted contour.
Breast Lift or Augmentation
During pregnancy, and especially while breastfeeding, your breasts become larger and feel fuller. However, once you stop breastfeeding, they lose a significant amount of volume. As a result, they lose the filled-out contour they once had and may begin to sag or appear flatter.
During your mommy makeover, you have the choice between a breast lift or a breast augmentation, also known as an enhancement.
During a breast augmentation, implants are inserted to improve the shape and volume of your breasts and increase the overall size. Whereas a breast lift simply restores your breasts’ natural teardrop shape without increasing their size.
Monsplasty
During and after pregnancy, your body begins to store fat in new places, one of them being the pubic area. This can result in a slight bulge to your pubis mons that most women would rather do without.
During a monsplasty, the excess fat in the mons area is removed to create a smoother and more appealing contour. It also helps create a more cohesive look when you’re already getting tighter and more toned with a tummy tuck.
Benefits of Mommy Makeover Surgery
Some people wonder whether a mommy makeover procedure is really worth it or if they’d be better off with non-surgical treatments. But the decision is easier to make once you learn about the multitude of benefits of a mommy makeover at Kadz Plastic Surgery.
Significant Results Can Be Achieved
Mommy makeovers can create dramatic before and after pictures since multiple procedures are done at once. You’re not just changing one small feature on your body; you’re undergoing a pretty serious makeover that will alter the way multiple areas look.
It Doesn’t Matter When You Became a Mom
There is no age limit when it comes to reclaiming your body. Whether you became a mom a year ago or two decades ago, a mommy makeover may be right for you.
When your body undergoes such drastic changes, it’s easy to feel like a completely different person. But Dr. Kadz can help you feel more like yourself.
Treatment Is Highly Customizable
At Kadz Plastic Surgery, we know that every mom and every body is different. We also know that not everyone’s body changes in the same ways. Each person has personal areas they’d like to improve, and we’re ready to help in any way we can.
That’s why our mommy makeover procedures can be customized and added to in order to better fit your individual needs. You are in full control of everything that is done.
Mommy makeover surgery can include:
- Liposuction
- Arm tuck
- Brazilian butt lift
- Vaginal rejuvenation
When you come for a consultation at our Beverly Hills office, we will discuss your cosmetic concerns, what areas you’d like to target, and what kind of results you’re hoping to achieve.
If you know you want additional procedures beyond the three included in our standard mommy makeover package, make sure to tell us at your consultation.
Combining Procedures Saves Money
Once you address one cosmetic concern, oftentimes, your other concerns seem to stand out even more when you look in the mirror. Additionally, having one surgery at a time is not only taxing on your body but on your wallet, too.
Combining procedures can save you thousands of dollars compared to getting individual surgeries and help you achieve the body you’ve longed for in a shorter amount of time.
It also minimizes the amount of time you have to take off from work since you’re able to recover from everything at the same time.
