17 Nov Mommy Makeovers – A Rundown Of The Options
After the birth of their last child, many women begin thinking about that procedure that everyone in this age group is talking about – the mommy makeover. They think they want it, but need more information as to what is involved. Here’s a brief rundown of what a mommy makeover actually is and what to expect.
Everyone likes the potential of what a mommy makeover can accomplish, but the reality of surgery of course is a whole different ballgame. And, there are choices…lots of choices to be made in the mommy makeover world.
Mommy Makeover Surgery Combinations
To make these choices, you and your surgeon will need to consult on what your issues are and the best way to approach them. Most women have different mommy makeover procedures combined, as the different techniques combine to give the ultimate results. These procedures are:
More times than not, a tummy tuck and liposuction are the most frequently combined options. The tummy tuck removes the extra, sagging skin, while the liposuction contours the area, removing fat that is untouched by diet and exercise. Together these procedures combine to give the ultimate contour to your body.
Whether or not a breast lift alone will solve your particular issues with your breasts is a discussion for you and your surgeon.
What a breast lift does is reposition the breasts to a higher plane, repositioning the nipples so that their appearance is once again in the pointing forward position. If, however, the breasts also are in need of added fullness, then a breast implant may be the procedure of choice.
Mommy Makeover Recovery
Depending on the procedures that you decide on, generally a mommy makeover recovery will take several weeks. Activities will be limited and you should plan on a helping hand from a friend or relative for a few days. During the recovery period you can expect a few common symptoms:
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Pain
- Tightness
- Discomfort
During the healing process, you will begin to see the transformation that the mommy makeover has afforded you. It could ultimately take a few months to see the final results, which most women are elated with.
