While new moms experience overwhelming joy over the birth of their babies, they are often disappointed to find that rigors of pregnancy and nursing have taken a toll on their bodies.
Despite dieting and exercising, many mothers find that they cannot return to their pre-pregnancy shape.
This frustration has led a growing number of new mothers to consider undergoing a combination of plastic surgery procedures known as “mommy makeover” which may consist of breast lift or breast augmentation, liposuction, and tummy tuck, with the aim to tighten loose skin and sagging breasts that pregnancy and nursing leave behind.
Statistics indicate that “mommy makeovers” are definitely becoming a trend. In 2012 alone, more than 325,000 American women ages 20-39 had mommy makeover procedures. One of the purported benefits of the mommy makeover is that combining all three procedures at once leads to a faster recovery and lower price tag than having the three surgeries separately.
What exactly does a mommy makeover entail
The most common procedures included in a “mommy makeover” are:
- a breast enchancement such Tampa breast lift often combined with Tampa breast augmentation
- Liposuction in Tampa of the love handles, hips and thighs
- Tampa Tummy Tuck to remove pockets of fat and excess skin for a flatter stomach and to minimize stretch marks.
Recovery
After surgery the patient will have to severely limit strenuous activity for at least six weeks.
Results
Many new mothers seem to think that the surgery was worth it. Plastic surgery patients often say they feel sexier and more youthful after the surgery. They feel that no amount of diet and exercise could bring them the bodies they had before childbirth, and they report having no regrets.
Health care experts stress that patient education is key: Know the risks, choose a board-certified surgeon that you feel comfortable with, and make sure to have realistic expectations as to the ultimate outcome.
