Mommy makeover helps women feel confident and at home in their bodies after physical changes from pregnancy and breastfeeding or weight loss. Many women develop sagging breasts, separated abdominal muscles, and loose skin after childbearing. The mommy makeover combination procedure offers transformative results by addressing all these cosmetic concerns simultaneously with one surgery and one round of recovery. The right time for mommy makeover surgery differs for each patient and comes down to what works for you and your family.
Dr. Georgina Nichols is a female plastic surgeon with extensive training and experience in breast and body procedures. She’s known for her warm bedside manner and excellent results. Dr. Nichols is internationally trained and speaks Spanish, French, and English fluently.
How Long Ago Did You Give Birth?
Your body needs time to heal after childbirth, and it often takes nine months of healing after nine (or ten) months of pregnancy. While some women may want to restore their pre-baby body with mommy makeover right away, your breasts, abdomen, and other body areas need time to recuperate. You will enjoy higher-quality results if you wait to have mommy makeover surgery until you are at or near your desired weight and are no longer breastfeeding. Typically, plastic surgeons suggest waiting six to 12 months after childbirth or three to six months after weaning so the breasts and body can revert to their natural state.
Are You Prepared for Recovery After Mommy Makeover?
When you’re considering plastic surgery after pregnancy, consider the time it takes to recover. New mothers have nonstop demands at home. Your schedule is not up to you anymore. You may want to wait until your children are more independent and no longer need or ask to be held because you won’t be able to lift and hold your children for several weeks after mommy makeover surgery. You need help at home while you rest and heal and may require childcare arrangements for small children.
Do You Plan on Having More Children?
This is a crucial question in the mommy makeover process. Future pregnancies will affect and may reverse your surgical results. Postpone your mommy makeover until your family is complete and you do not plan on getting pregnant again.
Mommy makeover lets you reclaim your pre-pregnancy body and celebrate the joy of motherhood by feeling comfortable in your skin and body size again. The combination procedure helps you reach your desired results faster with less time spent recovering and more time with your family. Enjoy long-lasting mommy makeover results and a boost in self-confidence with procedures customized to your needs.
