It has been said time and time again that motherhood is the toughest job out there. As a mother, you dedicate your life to ensure your children grow up in a safe, healthy, and happy home. Of course, taking care of your family is greatly rewarding but does not come without consequences. The stress and pressures that come with motherhood can be emotionally and physically draining. If this sounds like you, know that you are not alone. And as far as the physical detriments of motherhood, know that there are plenty of options for you to get your pre-motherhood body back. There is a new trend called “Mommy Makeovers”, which is a plastic surgery plan designed for mothers who feel the same way you do. You may be wondering exactly what a “Mommy Makeover” entails – we are here to answer any questions you may have.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover may be different for everyone. After a consultation at Carp Cosmetic Surgery Center, you will be able to better understand which procedures will be best suited for your body. Essentially, a mommy makeover is designed to address changes in your body that come with pregnancy. This may include: liposuction, tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and/or breast reduction.
The more common areas that fat deposits collect during pregnancy are thighs, buttocks, abdomen, and hip area. No matter how much you might work out or diet, it is still challenging and sometimes even impossible to get back to your pre-baby weight. Liposuction removes those fatty pockets.
Also known as abdominoplasty, this procedure moves the excess skin that has stretched out as a result of pregnancy. The abdominal muscles can also be tightened at this time to reduce the lower abdomen bulge.
Your breasts gain volume as your belly grows, and then they are responsible for feeding the baby over the next several months. The extra weight makes them sag and as they slowly lose the extra volume, they start to resemble deflated balloons. Breast augmentation adds volume and lifts the breasts using saline or silicone implants. In some cases, it is necessary to perform a breast lift if the sagging is severe.
You take care of everyone else, so now it is time to take care of yourself. You owe it to yourself to no longer feel uncomfortable or self-conscious with your body. Call Dr. Carp and his team at 330-577-8959 to begin your mommy makeover journey.
