What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a term used to describe a combination of cosmetic surgery procedures that can help improve the appearance of your breasts, abdomen and buttocks after pregnancy. These procedures are often done at the same time and result in an improved body contour that is more youthful looking and proportionate.

A mommy makeover may be recommended for any woman who has given birth at least once, but it's especially relevant for women who have had multiple pregnancies or significant weight changes since their last delivery. As such, you should expect to consider this procedure if:

• You've experienced stretch marks around your belly button since having children;
• After having children your breast size has changed significantly; or
• You're unhappy with the appearance of your thighs or buttocks after multiple pregnancies.

It is not uncommon for mothers to feel self-conscious about their bodies after having a child.

It is not uncommon for mothers to feel self-conscious about their bodies after having a child. The physical changes that occur as a result of pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding can leave you feeling self-conscious and uncomfortable in your own skin. A mommy makeover is the perfect way to address these issues head on, giving the new mom confidence again.

What Are Plastic Surgery Procedures Included in Mommy Makeover Surgery?

• Breast augmentation
• Breast lift
• Tummy tuck
• Liposuction of the thighs, hips and abdomen
• Vaginal rejuvenation surgery (also known as a G-spot amplification) to enlarge the size of your vagina for better orgasms
• Breast implants are inserted into one or both breasts to make them bigger. Other types of breast implants include saline and silicone. Saline breast implants last longer and don't need to be replaced, but they feel more like natural breasts than silicone ones do. Some people prefer a combination of both types for their aesthetic results; others choose just one type depending on personal preference. A breast reduction removes extra fat from underneath your skin so that it's smoother under clothes and makes breasts smaller overall; this procedure is also called "reduction mammoplasty." You might need this procedure if you have sagging breasts or asymmetry between them (for example, one breast is larger than another). You may also want surgery if you've had children who have stretched out your skin too much; however, bear in mind that once again there's no guarantee that having children will cause sagging unless there was already some preexisting laxity before pregnancy happened! Additionally women who have lost weight after stopping breastfeeding could benefit from having a breast reduction so they aren't being weighed down by heavy breasts when exercising or running around chasing kids around all day long!!!
• Breast implant surgery is common and straight forward. Many women get breast implant surgery for cosmetic reasons but some have have it done because of breast cancer in the breast tissue. If you want breast implant surgery, feel confident in knowing that many do it with no breast pain.

Mentally Preparing for Your Mommy Makeover

• You will be under general anesthesia for your mommy makeover.
• You will have a scar from your surgery, but it will fade over time.
• You will need to take some time off of work after your surgery, because you need rest and care.
• You will need to take medications for pain and swelling after the procedure (if any), which can last up to six weeks or more depending on how much they are needed by each individual person's body chemistry.
• It is vital that you follow all of your doctor's instructions during this time as well as afterward so that there are no complications with healing or infection down the line!

There are lots of different breast implant types

There are two main types of breast implants: silicone and saline. The choice is up to you, and each option has different pros and cons.

Silicone implants are the most common type used in breast augmentation surgery, but they may have more potential side effects than saline implants. Saline implants tend to be less expensive and can be filled with either saline or a silicone gel called “gel-filled” when you're ready for your surgery.

Solid silicone gel implants are another alternative that's available if you want more natural-looking breasts without going under the knife again later on down the road (although this does mean paying higher upfront costs).

Saline or Silicone Implants

Silicone implants are considered more natural feeling and more durable than saline. They also have a higher risk of rupture, which can be associated with some scarring.

The FDA has not approved silicone breast implants for use in women who have autoimmune diseases, so if you have lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, they may not be right for you.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is the most popular plastic surgery procedure among women. This procedure can increase your self-confidence and help you feel more comfortable with your body.

There are several options for breast augmentation surgery. The type of surgery you choose will depend on factors such as:

• Your overall health and medical history
• Your preferences and expectations for the results of your procedure
• Whether or not you want to have breast implants placed above or below the muscle (subglandular or subpectoral)

Although there are no major risks associated with breast augmentation, complications may occur in some cases. These complications include infection, bleeding, blood clots forming in your arm veins or lungs (pulmonary embolism), allergy to anesthesia medications used during surgery, scarring around incisions made during surgery (keloid formation), capsular contracture—a condition where scar tissue forms around an implant causing it to become firm instead of soft and natural feeling—and nipple sensation loss due to radiation therapy treatments received before getting implants placed inside breasts

Breast Lift

It's possible to get breast lift surgery in conjunction with:

• Breast augmentation—Breast lift surgery combined with breast augmentation, which involves adding silicone or saline implants to the breasts.
• Breast reduction—Breast lift surgery combined with a breast reduction, which removes excess fat and skin to improve the size and shape of your breasts.

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction surgery can help you feel more confident and improve your health. It is a procedure that reduces the size of your breasts. Breast reduction surgery can be performed under general anesthesia, and it takes between four to eight hours to complete.

After the procedure, you will need to wear soft bras for at least six weeks. You should also avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities for up to three months after your surgery because this could increase swelling or cause bruising in your breasts and chest area.

What is Breast Implant Illness

You might be wondering what exactly breast implant illness is. This is a rare complication of breast augmentation surgery. It's not common, but it can happen. If you're considering a breast augmentation procedure, here's what to know about this condition and its symptoms:

• Breast implants don't always settle perfectly into their new position on your chest wall. This can lead to the development of scar tissue around the breast implant after surgery (known as capsular contracture), which may cause your breasts to become firm and painful. In severe cases, this inflammation can even cause hardening within the breast itself—even months or years after an initial surgery.*

Tummy Tuck

Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall.

A tummy tuck can also be performed with liposuction to help sculpt your waistline. The most common reasons for having this procedure are:

• To reduce the appearance of loose, sagging skin on your lower abdomen and hips
• To improve muscle tone
• To smooth out “pregnancy pooch” or stretch marks caused by pregnancy

Liposuction

Liposuction is a procedure that involves the removal of fat from areas of your body. This can be done through several different methods, including suctioning or cutting out the fat. Liposuction is often used to treat:

• Bulges on your lower abdomen and back
• Flabby upper arms
• “Waddle” under your chin
• Large thighs

The surgeon will make small incisions at the treatment site, then insert a tube called a cannula into each one. The cannula is connected to a machine that sucks out the fat cells using pressure created by negative pressure (suction).

After this part of the surgery is complete, stitches are used to close up those incisions. The recovery process varies depending on how much fat was removed during liposuction and whether any other procedures were performed at the same time (such as abdominoplasty).

Vaginal Rejuvenation

Vaginal rejuvenation is a procedure to tighten the vagina. It can include:

• Labiaplasty, which reduces the size of your labia majora (the outer lips) and/or labia minora (the inner lips).
• Clitoroplasty, which reduces the size of your clitoral hood and/or removes excess skin from around your clitoris.
• Both procedures may be performed on their own or together as part of a Mommy Makeover procedure with abdominoplasty and breast augmentation surgery.
• Vaginal rejuvenation is not for everyone, so if you're considering it, visit with a board-certified plastic surgeon in order to determine whether or not it's right for you. Generally speaking, this procedure will only be performed during an abdominoplasty surgery when there is sufficient excess skin after losing weight; however if you're interested in having vaginal rejuvenation alone without other procedures such as abdominoplasty then this process can also be done by itself without any other cosmetic surgery interventions being necessary at all!

Can You Have Breast Surgery and Liposuction at the Same Time?

If you're considering a mommy makeover, you may be wondering whether you can have breast surgery and liposuction at the same time. The answer is yes!

If you're having a tummy tuck and breast lift, your surgeon will need to remove some fat from your abdomen during your tummy tuck procedure. You'll also have an incision around your breasts, but that's it! You won't have any scars on other parts of your body as long as everything goes well.

It's important to note that in order for both procedures to be done together safely, there are certain medical factors that must be taken into account (such as whether or not there is excess skin on both areas).

But if those conditions apply for what would otherwise be considered separate surgeries—and if all things go according to plan—you can have them done at the same time!

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

Here are some things to think about before scheduling a mommy makeover.

• Do you have realistic expectations? A mommy makeover is not going to turn you into a 20-year old again, but it may help your body look more youthful and healthy. If you're tired of seeing stretch marks on your stomach and thighs, or if the skin on your tummy hangs down like an over-full purse when you sit, then a mommy makeover could be right for you!
• Are you in good health? If you have any serious medical conditions or are taking medications that may affect the outcome of surgery (such as blood thinners), then talk with your doctor before scheduling breast augmentation surgery or any other cosmetic procedure. Be honest about whether or not being pregnant would adversely affect any aspect of having these procedures done—for example, if there could be an increased risk of infection during pregnancy due to decreased immune function caused by hormones released after conception. It's important to know how this will impact both physical recovery from surgery as well as its long term effects on healing time afterwards; sometimes patients who want breast implants often want them removed later because they don't realize how much recovery time goes into having new breasts put inside their bodies."

How Long Should I Wait to Have a Mommy Makeover?

The ideal timeline for a mommy makeover is dependent on a few factors, including how you are feeling and your overall health. It's a good idea to wait at least 6 months after giving birth before undergoing a mommy makeover.

If you have lost weight or had any other surgical procedure within the past 6 months, talk to your doctor about his or her recommendations regarding your recovery time.

Your doctor will be able to give you an exact date based on your individual circumstances, but it's safe to say that most women will need at least 1 week of recovery time before returning back to work.

Am I Too Old For Cosmetic Surgery?

If you're 50 or older and considering cosmetic surgery, the question is: "Am I too old for cosmetic surgery?" The answer is no. You're not too old for cosmetic surgery. Age may be just a number, but it doesn't mean that you can't undergo a mommy makeover at any age.

In fact, many of my patients are in their 60s and 70s with great results! While there are more risks associated with getting older, they don't outweigh the benefits of having your body look years younger than it really is!

Are mommy makeovers safe?

No matter what step you take, safety is a concern for every mommy makeover patient. Breast augmentation surgery is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures, with more than 300,000 performed in the United States each year. Your surgeon should be trained to perform a safe procedure and will discuss all possible risks with you beforehand.

There are risks associated with any surgery, so it's important to discuss your concerns with your doctor before undergoing any form of plastic surgery.

What Can I Expect After My Mommy Makeover Surgery?

You'll need to make sure that your recovery is as comfortable and easy as possible. The following steps will help you make the most of your mommy makeover experience:

• Be prepared for what to expect after surgery. It's important that you do not have any major lifestyle changes after your procedure, so it's vital to plan ahead and prepare yourself in advance. Ask your doctor or nurse how much time off of work is necessary before and after surgery, as well as what kind of physical activity is safe during this period.
• Take care of yourself while recovering from mommy makeover surgery by eating healthy meals, getting plenty of rest, wearing supportive garments if needed (but not too tight), drinking lots of water every day (at least eight glasses), taking pain medications exactly as prescribed by a health professional (as directed on label), resting whenever possible in order avoid injury or infection which could delay recovery or cause complications later on down the line if left untreated -- all these factors affect how fast one heals physically after undergoing cosmetic procedures like plastic surgery."

If you are looking for a mommy makeover, then congratulations! You have made the first step towards feeling better about yourself.

It's important to remember that everyone has their own unique body and there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to plastic surgery. Your best bet is to find a board certified plastic surgeon who can talk with you about all of your options before making any decisions regarding surgery.
