‘All mothers are pretty, but the right makeover can make her pretty confident’.

Has your body undergone some undesirable changes post-pregnancy? Are you experiencing saggy skin and uneven deposition of fat? Is it not allowing you to be confident and embrace your motherhood? The answer you are seeking is a mommy makeover.

Mommy makeover

Pregnancy is tough but the post-pregnancy phase is overwhelming. Along with embracing motherhood, you are dealing with inevitable physical changes. The stretch marks, abdominal wall bulge, fat deposition across the belly and hip area, dropping and sagging of breasts, and separation of abdominal muscles can slump your self-esteem and confidence. This is why women consider mommy makeover as it restores the shape and appearance of the pre-pregnancy body after childbirth.

What is Mommy’s Makeover?

Mommy makeover is a well-sought procedure that involves surgical and non-surgical procedures. It is tailored according to the women’s needs to attain desired body contouring and skin rejuvenation. It includes liposuction, tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and additional skin treatment. 

The treatment has gained popularity over the years. It is because women of this generation have their careers, aspirations, and dreams to fulfill. And they must look and feel good that is possible only if they are confident enough. The unaesthetic effects acquired post-pregnancy can dampen self-esteem. This combination of surgeries boosts confidence in a woman by restoring vitality. 

Turkey is considered the first choice for a mommy makeover because of its affordability and better services. Closely followed by Malaysia and Thailand which provide world-class treatment and care to the patient.

What are the Procedures Involved in a Mommy Makeover?

Given below are the surgical and non-surgical procedures a woman can have as a part of a mommy makeover:

  1. Breast Augmentation and Lift: After childbirth, women’s breasts contract and expand drastically due to milk production. And once the baby stops feeding, the breasts droop or become saggy. The cup size reduces gradually. A breast lift is done in cases when breasts sag, whereas breast augmentation restores the fullness of the breast. It is achieved by inserting gel or saline implants.

  2. Tummy Tuck: Abdomen protrudes and slacks after childbirth. A tummy tuck can help to tighten the abdominal skin and muscles. 

  3. Liposuction: Deposition of fat in thighs and hips is seen commonly in pregnant women. Liposuction get rids of excessive fat in the body.

  4. Skin Tightening: The procedure restores a smooth, firm, and young appearance. This procedure targets heat into deep skin layers that stimulate collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are responsible for the texture and tone of the skin.

  5. Cellulite Reduction: It is achieved by laser treatment. It is similar to the skin tightening procedure with the additive benefit of reducing the thickness of the subcutaneous layer and reducing dimpling.

  6. Botox and Fillers: Botox is an injectable neurotoxin that smooths the dynamic wrinkles formed due to facial expression. Fillers are a gel-like substance that adds volume to the face, smooth creases, and enhance facial contours.

Things To Know Before Mommy Makeover?

  • You must be in good health if you plan to get a mommy makeover. Any underlying medical conditions or the prescribed medication can make this surgery risky. So it is essential to consult your general physician and the cosmetic surgeon regarding your surgery.

  • Smoking will only hamper the treatment so you must give up on it a month before the treatment begins.

  • If you are planning to have children further, you should not go for the treatment. It should be scheduled after your last child.

  • Since it is a combination of surgeries, the procedure is costly.

What to Expect In Your Recovery Phase?

The results will not be immediately visible. The healing process will take time. As a result of your body’s inflammatory response, specific areas that underwent treatment will swell. You should be clear that the recovery phase would not be a brief period as it involves more than a single surgery. 

In your recovery phase, you should avoid carrying heavy weight and maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle. Make sure you have extra pillows to support you while you rest.
