If you’ve had a baby, you know your body is never quite the same again. While you love your kids, you may not love what they did to your body during pregnancy. A mommy makeover can help give you back your pre-baby body, but the improvements don’t have to stop there.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover targets the areas that experience the biggest changes during pregnancy. The most obvious one, and the first thing many women want to be fixed, is loose, sagging skin around the abdomen. Another primary target: the breasts, which may look better than ever during pregnancy but can deflate significantly afterward.
One place women hesitate to talk about is the vaginal area. Don’t hold back with your concerns, though. Some plastic surgeons offer a whole range of treatments to make you more satisfied with the external appearance. For inside, noninvasive treatments use laser energy to painlessly stimulate the tissue, restoring the firmness of the vaginal walls. You can enjoy an intimate life, something like what you had before children, just without the sleep or the privacy.
Can I Get Other Things Fixed During My Mommy Makeover?
Having multiple procedures at once has a major advantage: you will only have one recovery period while you recover from all the procedures simultaneously. You may feel sore in more places, but you will probably spend a few days after surgery feeling fairly uncomfortable no matter what. This list covers just some of the procedures and treatments you can have with a mommy makeover:
- Breast augmentation
- Breast lift
- Tummy tuck
- Liposuction
- Butt lift
- Vaginal rejuvenation
- Skin tightening
- Dermal filler injections
- Wrinkle relaxer injections
- Facial treatments
Some of these treatments, like dermal fillers, don’t necessarily target areas affected by pregnancy, but they can help you look younger and more refreshed. And you may not require a butt lift, but if you’re making this investment in yourself anyway, why not enjoy the results? A mommy makeover is about you and what makes you feel like a more confident version of yourself.
How Long Does It Take to Recover from a Mommy Makeover?
Expect to spend some time recovering. Moving around and doing simple things will be uncomfortable for the first week or two since you will have some healing incisions. You may want to have someone available for the first few days in case you need help with anything. Most people can go back to work after a few weeks, although if your job involves physical activity, you should ask your surgeon when you can go back.
What Happens if I Get Pregnant Again After My Mommy Makeover?
Pregnancy can undo the results of your mommy makeover, so if possible, make sure you are finished building your family before having the procedure. If it does happen, your surgeon can perform more procedures to restore your results.
