Mommy Makeover
in West Palm Beach, FL
Motherhood is a wonderful thing for many women, but pregnancy, breastfeeding, and childbirth can have drastic effects on the body, resulting in a loss of self-confidence. Common issues are stretched skin and abdominal muscles, a loss of volume and excess sagging in the breasts, and difficulty toning excess fat.
A Mommy Makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures, each aimed at restoring a woman’s body after pregnancy for a transformational result.
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is a cosmetic surgery that combines multiple procedures in one operation. In this customizable procedure, the surgeries the patient chooses generally aim to restore a woman’s body after pregnancy, childbirth, or aging.
What Are the Benefits of a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover allows patients to improve or enhance multiple areas of the body for a cohesive, transformative result.
Increased Confidence
While motherhood is a life-changing experience, changes to the body often bring disappointment and frustration to new mothers. A Mommy Makeover is entirely custom to the needs of the patient, allowing her to choose exactly what she wants treated, restored, or enhanced. Many women are ecstatic with their new bodies after a Mommy Makeover, stating that they feel even more confident than before they had children.
Restore and Rejuvenate
Restoring the body, especially the abdomen and breasts, after pregnancy can be an uphill battle, sometimes even impossible without surgery. A Mommy Makeover does just that: through specialized procedures, the results of your Mommy Makeover can last decades.
Shorter Recovery Times
If you have more than one area of the body you’d like to treat with cosmetic surgery, combining them into one procedure means you only have to contend with one recovery time rather than separate ones.
What Are My Mommy Makeover Options?
At Synergy Cosmetic Surgery and Medspa, your Mommy Makeover is entirely custom to your needs and goals. Your surgeon will help you design the surgical plan that will get you the results that you want and deserve.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures commonly included in a Mommy Makeover. After pregnancy, the abdominal wall can become stretched and often cannot return to its previous appearance without surgery. Additionally, the skin becomes stretched, with excess pockets of fat. A tummy tuck combats these issues by tightening loose abdominal muscles and removing excess skin for a flat, smooth tummy.
Breast Lift
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause the breasts and nipples to become stretched and misshapen, with accelerated sagging or ptosis. Many moms want their breasts back to how they used to be, and a breast lift is the best way to achieve this. This procedure targets redundant tissue and skin, lifts the breasts to a more youthful position on the chest, and can reshape the nipple-areolar complex for a more pleasing aesthetic.
Breast Augmentation
Many women experience a loss of volume in their breasts after breastfeeding—even if they have ample breasts naturally. A breast augmentation not only provides an increase in fullness, but it can help with asymmetries as well.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a fantastic addition to any Mommy Makeover, not only because it helps slim the body and combat stubborn pockets of fat, but it also works as a cohesive procedure that helps smooth the parts of the body between each treatment area for a more natural-looking result. Liposuction is commonly performed on the thighs, abdomen, buttocks, or hips.
Am I a Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
If you have one or more areas of the body you’d like to restore after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or aging, a Mommy Makeover might be for you.
Candidates for a Mommy Makeover should be:
- In good health
- Non-smokers
- Reasonable about their expectations
- At least one year postpartum
It’s important that Mommy Makeover candidates are interested in bettering themselves and their confidence. Cosmetic surgery is a highly personal decision and should only be done under the right circumstances.
If you think you might be a candidate for a Mommy Makeover and want to learn how this procedure can help you meet your body goals, schedule a consultation with Dr. Steven Chang today.
How Is a Mommy Makeover Performed?
First, you’ll meet with Dr. Chang for your Mommy Makeover consultation. He will listen to your goals for the procedure and help you understand the details, risks, and benefits of the Mommy Makeover.
Your Mommy Makeover will be performed using general anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain. Depending on the number of procedures performed, you may need more than one surgery.
The length of the procedure depends on the specific surgeries performed and the complexity of each. Each Mommy Makeover is entirely unique to the patient’s goals and anatomy, as well as the surgical plan that Dr. Chang develops. It is not uncommon for a Mommy Makeover to take several hours to perform.
How Long Is Mommy Makeover Recovery?
Keep in mind that each patient will have a different recovery process, depending on the combination of procedures and their personal healing process. Most Mommy Makeover patients will need to take two weeks off work, after which they can gradually return to their regular routine and activities.
Your Mommy Makeover recovery generally lasts as long as the procedure with the longest recovery period—in many cases, that is abdominoplasty. Dr. Chang will provide you with specific recovery instructions, so be sure to follow these as best you can.
When Will I See My Mommy Makeover Results?
A Mommy Makeover can be one of the most rewarding procedures offered. Patients will be able to see immediate changes to their breasts with both a breast lift and breast augmentation, although the results will continue to improve as bruising and swelling improve.
You will also notice an immediate flatness to your abdomen with a tummy tuck, which will also improve as you heal. After about two weeks, your results will really begin to become apparent.
