Nowadays, there’s a solution for this. You can get back to your previous physique with the mommy makeover!
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is the combination of different body contouring packages for women whose bodies have changed drastically because of pregnancy and breastfeeding. Some of the procedures that may be included in a mommy makeover are:
- Liposuction – A suction technique that removes unwanted fat pockets from the arms, hips, belly, butt, thighs, and other problem areas;
- Breast Lift – Tightening the tissue and removing unneeded skin to raise your breasts;
- Breast Reduction – Removing excess fat, tissue, and skin from your breasts to reduce their size;
- Tummy Tuck – Removing extra skin and fat in the belly area for a smoother abdominal profile;
- Breast Augmentation – Using implants to improve the shape of your breasts.
If you are thinking about going for the mommy makeover, you should consider the following:
1. How Much You Have to Spend
Mommy makeover prices vary. As it is a package of cosmetic procedures, it is not usually covered by insurance.
Prices depend on your plastic surgeon’s time, experience and training, your location, the number of procedures you choose, anesthesia, and other factors.
2. How Long before You See the Results
Since you’ll be going through a number of procedures, your plastic surgeon will be able to tell you how much time you will need to take off if you have a full-time job. The recovery usually lasts for about two weeks, so make sure that all the important people around you are aware of how long you’ll be partially unavailable.
Additionally, you can’t expect to see results immediately after your procedures. It may take a few months to a year to see the final results, so you should be a little patient and keep taking care of your body through a healthy lifestyle in the meantime.
3. How Many Sessions You Must Undergo
Procedures have various requirements regarding surgical sessions and recovery. Before you go in for a mommy makeover, make sure you’re ready for the commitment. The advantage of going with Dr Rosso, who has 20 years experience, is that he will typically perform the procedures in one session.
4. Who Can Help You with Housework
You have to admit it—you won’t be available for some time. It doesn’t matter who you have to call; you need to get someone to handle the kids, your pets, the household meals, and other chores while you are resting and recovering especially in the first few days after surgery.
5. What Lifestyle Changes You Must Consider
Finally, you should think about slight changes in your daily routine. For a few weeks, about 4 weeks, after your mommy makeover, make sure that you avoid lifting heavy objects and doing strenuous exercises. Additionally, if you are a smoker, you should quit before the operation and about four weeks after, so the wounds in your body will heal better.
Final Thoughts
A mommy makeover is a perfect boost if you are looking for a set of procedures that will specifically cater to your unique needs after pregnancy.
