What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a surgical procedure that can be used to restore your body after pregnancy. It can include breast augmentation, breast lift, and liposuction to help you feel more confident and attractive.

It’s an important procedure for many women who are struggling with their self-image following having children. Many moms may not realize how much of a difference having children makes on their bodies until they see the changes in their own mirror!

Why Are So Many Women Having Mommy Makeovers?

It's a common misconception that women only get breast augmentation surgery because they want larger breasts. While that may be true for some, a lot of women also choose this procedure for other reasons. For example, some women have breast augmentation surgery to improve their self-confidence. They may feel insecure about the size and shape of their breasts or want to look more attractive so they can feel better about themselves when they look in the mirror.

Some women also have breast augmentation surgery so that they can feel more confident about themselves in social situations and with new acquaintances. This is especially true if you've had kids and experience changes in your body after childbirth, such as stretch marks and loose skin from pregnancy weight gain. In fact, many moms decide on a mommy makeover because they're worried about how they'll look when going out with friends or family members who don't live nearby anymore!

If you're considering having cosmetic surgery with Dr. Cammack—whether it's an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), liposuction procedure, rhinoplasty (nose job) or any other type of cosmetic treatment—it might help clarify why other women choose these procedures too: There are plenty of reasons why people decide on plastic surgery procedures like mommy makeovers!

Options for Your Mommy Makeover

There are a variety of options for your mommy makeover. These include:

• Breast augmentation
• Breast lift
• Tummy tuck
• Liposuction (fat reduction)
• Breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty)
• Breast reconstruction (reconstruction after breast cancer surgery)

How Long Should I Wait to Have a Mommy Makeover?

Now that you know what a mommy makeover is, it's time to think about when you want to have this procedure. The best way to ensure that your surgeon's work will be successful is by following these guidelines:

• You should wait at least six months after giving birth before undergoing a mommy makeover.
• It is important to wait until your body has recovered from pregnancy and childbirth before undergoing a mommy makeover.
• If you plan on getting pregnant again or are still breastfeeding, it may not be the right time for a mommy makeover.

What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that uses breast implants to increase the size of your breasts. Breast augmentation can be performed under general anesthesia or sedation, depending on what's best for you. In general, the procedure takes about 30 minutes and involves an incision in the fold beneath your breast or behind your nipple. There are two ways to place the implant:

• Subglandular placement - This method involves placing an implant behind each breast tissue directly over the chest wall muscles (pectorals) beneath them. It requires less correction after surgery because it does not crowd out other organs as much as submuscular placement does
• Submuscular placement - A pocket is created underneath each pectoral muscle where a silicone gel or saline-filled implant will be placed; this method requires more correction after surgery because it crowds out other organs more than subglandular placement does.

Natural Breast Tissue and Pregnancy

Breast tissue changes during pregnancy, and a mommy makeover will help you adjust to the new shape of your body.

Pregnancy can cause breast tissue to change in size, shape and volume. If you plan on breastfeeding your baby after giving birth, this will also affect the appearance of your breasts. In some cases, women notice their breasts becoming larger or fuller during pregnancy. This is due to extra fluid that collects within the breast tissue itself.

Once a woman stops nursing their child though, they may notice that their breasts have become smaller again due to losing some of this excess fluid over time. It’s important for new moms (and anyone else who has had implants) not only keep track of how much weight they gain during pregnancy but also watch out for any other swelling in their body as well because this could mean something more serious than just eating too many carbs!

What About Breastfeeding?

Breastfeeding is a natural and effortless way to bond with your baby. It also helps you lose weight after pregnancy, provides important nutrients for your child, and reduces the risk of breast cancer.

However, it’s not a given that every woman who wants to breastfeed can do so.

You may have heard stories in the news about new mothers who were told they couldn’t breastfeed because their implants were in place—but that’s not true! Breastfeeding with implants is possible, depending on whether or not the medical team thinks there would be any complications for you or your baby if you tried it.

Choosing Your Breast Implants

Choosing the right breast implant size, shape, type and profile is vital to achieving the look you want.

• For a balanced body type (pear-shaped), choose an implant that fills out your upper pole and balances your lower. Most women with this body type would benefit from a medium-to-full C cup. If you are larger than a D cup then you may need to go up in size but not down in profile or shape
• For an hourglass figure (square-shaped), choose an implant that fills out your upper area while maintaining natural height at the bottom of each breast. A round high profile implant can work well if it is placed under the muscle in order to correct any asymmetry between breasts. If one breast has dropped more than another then using silicone gel implants may be helpful because they will give you added support and contour at the top of each breast

Breast Implant Placement Options

The placement of breast implants can be categorized into two main groups: subglandular and submuscular. Subglandular placement is when the implant sits above the muscle wall, while submuscular placement is when it sits below. There are also several variations within each category that allow for even more customized results.

• Dual plane breast augmentation: This type of implant is placed under both layers of pectoralis major muscle and an inframammary incision (a horizontal scar) is used to access the space between your breasts. The dual plane approach allows for more lift than other options while still providing good upper pole fullness so that your breasts look natural looking from every angle.
• Vertical breast augmentation: With this method, a small incision goes straight down through skin, fat tissue, glandular tissue—all the way down until you reach your chest wall muscle (pectoralis major). From there another incision goes horizontally across both sides of your breastbone through connective tissue attaching them to rib cage walls until you reach either side of each nipple area where they’re separated by cutting apart some muscles or ligaments holding them together thus making room for implants in between them

There are lots of different breast implant types

There are actually a lot of different breast implant types. There's silicone and saline, which you can choose depending on your preferences and needs. If you've had breast augmentation surgery before, then you might need implants that are specifically designed for women who have had previous breast augmentation surgery. If you've had a mastectomy, then there are implants that may be more suitable for your condition than others.

This isn't an exhaustive list—there are other kinds of implants available too (like textured or shaped silicone), but there's no reason to get overwhelmed by all the options out there! The best way to figure out what kind of implant will work best for you is by talking with your doctor about what he thinks would be ideal for your individual anatomy and lifestyle needs

Saline or Silicone Implants

Silicone implants are a popular choice for many women because they look more natural, feel more natural and are often less painful than saline. They can last a lifetime and the results are more predictable. However, they are also more expensive than saline implants and you need to be prepared for the possibility that they might rupture at some point in time. This is rare but it does happen on occasion and it can lead to serious complications if not treated properly by an experienced plastic surgeon.

Silicone gel filled implants are the most popular in most places over the saline filled implants.

Breast Implant Illness

Breast implant illness is a condition that affects women who have had breast augmentation surgery using silicone gel implants. It causes some of the same symptoms as silicone breast implant illness. It's also called fibromyalgia syndrome or FMS, and it can cause severe muscle pain throughout the body. Many women with this condition experience widespread pain that increases with use of muscles, including those used during everyday tasks such as walking or lifting objects. The symptoms may also worsen when exposed to cold temperatures and improve in warmer environments (like saunas). Symptoms vary from person to person but often include:

• Widespread pain affecting all four limbs (arms and legs) for at least three months out of every year for at least two years
• Fatigue or exhaustion lasting longer than six months; sore throat; tender lymph nodes under arms or near collarbone; headaches

Risks of Implants

Risks of Implants

There can be complications from breast implants. These include:

• Breast ruptures, which occur when the implant breaks open or leaks fluid through the outer covering of the implant. This is rare but happens most often in women who have large breasts or implants that are overfilled with fluid.
• Capsular contracture, which occurs when scar tissue forms around an implant and squeezes it. It can cause pain and hardening of your nipple area as well as dimpling on your chest wall visible under clothing. Capsular contracture may also make your breasts look uneven because only one side will be affected by this problem.

Some risks are higher for certain people than others: Women with a history of breast cancer Women who smoke * Women who use birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy (HRT)

The cost of your mommy makeover will be based largely on the procedures that you choose to have done.

The cost of your mommy makeover will be based largely on the procedures that you choose to have done. The costs can vary widely depending on which surgeon you choose and where they are located. Additionally, it is important to consider whether or not your insurance plan covers any or all of the procedures involved in a mommy makeover. Finally, if you have any medical conditions that require special care during surgery, this may also add to the overall cost of the surgery.

This is a common question asked by many women who are considering getting a mommy makeover: How much does it cost? The answer depends on several factors including where you live, your insurance coverage and what type of procedure(s) you need done as well as who performs them (i.e., plastic surgeon versus general surgeon).

Choosing a Plastic Surgeon for Your Mommy Makeover

Choosing a plastic surgeon for your mommy makeover is an important decision. You should choose a board certified plastic surgeon with at least five years of experience in cosmetic procedures.

In order to make sure you are comfortable with your surgeon, ask yourself these questions:

• Are they kind and friendly?
• Do they listen to my concerns?
• Will they spend enough time answering all of my questions?
• Can I see before and after photos that are similar to what I want done (e.g., breast augmentation)?

It's also important for you to know about their credentials, surgical techniques, and any other surgical specialties that may be relevant to your surgery (e.g., breast reconstruction).

Recovery After Your Mommy Makeover

If you have been considering a mommy makeover, you may be considering it for reasons like:

• Wearing clothes that fit your new body shape
• Being more confident in the way you look and feel about yourself
• Wanting to get back into shape after having children

It is important to remember that there are many different types of mommy makeovers. You should never feel pressured into undergoing any procedures until after you are sure they are right for your body type and lifestyle. Recovery times vary depending on which procedures were done during surgery. Most women will take 2-3 weeks off from work following their procedure(s). They will also need help around the house with chores such as cooking meals, cleaning and laundry until they have fully recovered from their surgery.

The most commonly performed breast augmentation procedure takes between three to four days before returning home from hospital (or surgical facility). Some people experience bruising or swelling in this area but if this does happen then ask your surgeon if cold compresses can help relieve discomfort. It is common for patients who undergo breast augmentation surgery not being able to lift heavy objects or engage in strenuous activities involving physical contact such as sports for four weeks post-op due to potential risks such as infection at incision sites caused by bacteria entering through sutures used during surgery while healing occurs underneath skin layers where they were placed during operation process itself; however see below section titled “What Do I Need To Know About Bruises?”

A mommy makeover can help you recover your body after pregnancy.

A mommy makeover can help you recover your body after pregnancy.

If you're like most women, pregnancy and childbirth have left your body a little different than it was before. The good news is that there's no reason to let those changes ruin the rest of your life for good. A mommy makeover can help you recover your body after pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding by addressing common postpartum concerns such as:

• Recovering from excess skin and fat (which may have occurred during the pregnancy)
• Removing stretch marks on hips, stomach and breasts
• Reducing muscle loss in arms and legs (which may have occurred during nursing)

Is there anything else I should know before my mommy makeover?

You will need to make sure you have enough time off work, because the recovery process is lengthy. You should also make sure that you have enough money saved up for your surgery and recovery.

A mommy makeover is a great way to help you recover your body after pregnancy. There are many options for breast augmentation, and if you are worried about breastfeeding after surgery, these can be discussed with your surgeon.
