You’re a superhero in your kids eyes; you make them laugh, you hold them when they cry, and you stay up with them when they’re sick. Although there are hundreds of joys that accompany motherhood, the physical toll of pregnancy can transform your once beautiful body into something a little less recognizable. From sagging breasts to bags under your eyes, being a mommy isn’t always glamorous. If you’re done having kids and want to start feeling like you again, consider a mommy makeover.
1. What is a Mommy Makeover?
Although thoughts of your children painting your face with makeup might come to mind, a mommy makeover is a surgical procedure that can involve a combination of a tummy tuck, liposuction, a breast lift, breast augmentation surgery, breast reduction, or facial rejuvenation.
2. How Long Does It Take?
Depending on the combination of procedures that you would like to go, the actual procedural time can typically be done during one day. Plus, procedures like breast augmentations and tummy tucks can usually be done at once— getting you in and out of surgery faster and without too much added stress on your body.
3. What is Recovery Time Like?
Although you won’t be able to do any heavy lifting for about 3-4 weeks, you can typically get back into your normal routine in just a few days. And with the help of some pain killers, you can start to feel your normal self fairly shortly after your procedure, which will help to get you back to work as
“mommy.”
4. Who is this Surgery Ideal For?
Due to the invasive nature of a tummy tuck procedure and breast augmentation surgeries, it’s usually recommended that you get a mommy makeover after you are done having children. Plus, if you do become pregnant again, your results might diminish over time, leaving you less than happy.
Being a mother is beyond rewarding, however 9 months of pregnancy over and over again, can wreak havoc on your body. If you want to be able to look in the mirror and recognize your body again, it might be time to consider a mommy makeover. To learn more, contact our office today!
