Motherhood is a rite of passage for many women, and it is one of the most precious and exciting experiences one can have. Many women who undergo pregnancy, delivery, and all the craziness that comes after birth are a little unprepared for the mental, emotional, and physical changes that can occur as a result of the demands on the body.
Gaining weight, experiencing sagging breasts after breastfeeding, and just not being able to take care of yourself in the way you once did can take their toll. Most moms, when asked, would like to change something about their appearance, but they just don’t know how to go about improving themselves beyond traditional diet, exercise, and a few extra hours of sleep now and then.
How about a mommy makeover?
There is a movement taking place in the mom community these days—-it’s called the mommy makeover. A mommy makeover is a perfect opportunity to get your body back into shape and leave you feeling great. A combination of procedures can sculpt and shape your body, and while we celebrate women of all shapes and sizes, you deserve to achieve the look and feel that are best for you.
Why should I consider a mommy makeover?
Most women’s bodies do not immediately snap back after childbirth; no matter how hard you might try, the best efforts with diet and exercise might not do the trick. Many women consider mommy makeover procedures because they can be effective in correcting the following “mommy” issues:
- Stretch marks
- Sagging or baggy skin
- Excess abdominal and midsection fat
- Saggy breasts due to breastfeeding
Women who receive mommy makeovers regularly report that their self-esteem improves, their confidence increases, and they feel so much better about themselves that they feel they can perform motherly duties more efficiently.
The goal of a mommy makeover
The goal of a mommy makeover is quite simple—these procedures are designed to help you get your pre-baby body back and get you feeling better about yourself. Some of the more commonly performed procedures in this makeover plan include breast augmentation, reshaping, or reduction, depending on your circumstances, a tummy tuck, liposuction, vaginal reconstruction, and even botox for those places that have unexpectedly developed wrinkles and fine lines. Having a consultation with your doctor will help you determine which procedures are best for you and your health and wellness goals.
What can I expect as I recover from surgery?
We know you’re busy, moms—-but you need to rest and recover to fully heal. Plan on getting enough support so that you can take some time off from childcare, preparing meals, and keeping up your home. Start slowly and gain momentum as you get stronger by the day, and regularly check in with yourself to see how you are feeling and what you need.
Am I a good candidate for these procedures?
If you are done having children, and you feel you have some work that needs to be done, you are most likely a good candidate for a makeover. Do what you can to safeguard your health before surgery, and your recovery time will be much shorter than if you were to let your wellness habits fall by the wayside.
