THE BUZZ ON
MOMMY MAKEOVERS
O
ne of the newest buzz words in today’s plastic surgery practice
is the “Mommy Makeover.” Childbirth is a very rewarding
experience, but the aftermath can often be overwhelming for
the new mom. Pregnancy takes its toll on your body, particularly in
the breast and abdominal areas, and a Mommy Makeover may help
you look and feel your best.
At Beleza Plastic Surgery, we understand the many demands
placed on Mom. You devote most of your time to your children,
husband, job, home, ETC. ETC. ETC.!!!!!! We have heard all of the
many reasons to postpone surgery for yourself because of guilt, BUT
afterward the response we hear more is, “I wish I would have done
this sooner. I feel absolutely wonderful about myself now and it
makes it easier to accomplish all of the many daily tasks that I need to
perform.”
Generally, a Mommy Makeover can include Breast Augmentation,
Breast Lift, Tummy Tuck, Liposuction, Buttock Lift, Thigh Lift, and
Breast Reduction.
Mommy Makeovers can be a single procedure or a mixture of
any of the above surgeries. It is your personal prescription for your
physical and emotional needs. In this treatment,
a unique combination of plastic surgery
procedures counteracting the physical effects
of childbirth to best enhance your body are
performed.
These are some of the important questions to
ask before deciding on a Mommy Makeover.
1. Are you finished having children?
2. Are you at a stable weight?
3. Are you finished breastfeeding?
4. What body parts are you the most
concerned about?
The next step is to schedule an appointment
to discuss your options with a Board
Certified Plastic Surgeon. It will help you to
determine whether or not your expectations
are reasonable, and facilitate in making a
customized plan for your individual Mommy
Makeover. It is recommended that you wait six
months or longer after having your baby before
considering a Mommy Makeover. This gives
your body time to normalize after childbirth.
In the specialty of Plastic Surgery we are
specifically trained in each of the surgeries
mentioned above, and in their management.
Safety and an individualized approach to your
specific needs by the aesthetic eye of a Board
Certified Plastic Surgeon is a very important
factor in your surgery decision. You want an
expert in these types of surgeries taking care of
you from your first visit to your last post-op visit,
and a doctor who will see you for regular follow-up visits, long after
your surgery is performed.
Some women may need Breast Augmentation to correct severe
deflation of the breasts, while others may need a Breast Lift in
