The mommy makeover is a customizable procedure that is designed to reverse the effects that pregnancy has on the body. Despite its name, however, it’s not just limited to mothers – any woman who has experienced signs of aging or related changes in the body can make a great candidate for the mommy makeover procedure. To determine whether the mommy makeover is a good fit for you, let’s take a look at the treatments included in the mommy makeover procedure.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck is one of the primary components of a mommy makeover. The tummy tuck addresses loose skin and fat in the stomach to restore a firm, toned appearance to the abdomen. In addition to eliminating excess skin and fat, the tummy tuck also tightens the abdominal muscles. With these benefits, the tummy tuck is a powerful technique for addressing the weight changes and aesthetic effects of pregnancy and childbirth. The tummy tuck is performed with an incision just above the pubic region and an additional incision in the belly button.
Breast Lift
A breast lift is the second most common component of a mommy makeover. This treatment restores the breasts to a lifted, perky position, correcting many of the effects of pregnancy and breastfeeding. Primarily, this procedure focuses on correcting breast sagging and changes in nipple size or position. This is done with a one of a few surgical techniques, typically involving an incision around the circumference of the nipple.
And More!
While the breast lift and tummy tuck procedures are the main components of the mommy makeover, the advantage of this treatment is that additional treatments can be added to it as needed. For example, if you’d like to enhance the size of the breasts, you can add a breast augmentation via breast implants to the mommy makeover. You can also enhance the benefits of the tummy tuck process by using liposuction to target the surrounding areas of the body, such as the hips, buttocks and thighs. Ultimately, there are many options for patients looking to improve the results of their mommy makeover. It simply comes down to the areas you’d like to address and the treatments that will be most effective in doing so.
