Motherhood is a rewarding experience for every woman despite its challenges and moments of vexations. Not only does it alter your perspective and priorities, but it also takes a big toll on your overall physical appearance. From unprecedented weight gain to unequivocal stretching of abdominal skin, the vagaries handled by your body during pregnancy is phenomenal. The lamentable truth is, despite diligent efforts at getting back to your pre-childbearing form with tons of exercise and diet regimes, your body refuses to go back to what it was. This, however, is not the end of the road. The good news is, that there are new and improved plastic surgeries that are just for you. These mommy makeovers not only bring about essential body corrections but also get you back your vitality and self-confidence. Mommy makeover can be performed on individual parts of the body or in multiple problem areas to restore your physical image and how you feel about it. Although a mommy makeover usually involves the breasts and the abdomen, there are other areas that can benefit from it. Some of the usual procedures include

• breast augmentation,
• breast reduction,
• breast lift,
• buttock augmentation,
• tummy tuck,
• arm lift,
• liposuction,
• thigh lift.

Breast

A woman’s breast is one of the foremost parts of her body that undergoes transformation primarily for it to be ready for enhanced milk production. Moreover, excessive fat storage due to weight gain and hormonal changes results in immensely enlarged breasts. Upon completion of the pregnancy, although the breasts may shrink back to their previous size with time, the skin will continue to remain expanded and saggy. With the help of a breast lift procedure, you can easily restore a breast shape that is pleasant in appearance.

Abdomen

During pregnancy, a woman’s body adapts itself to changes that are conducive to the growth of a healthy baby. However, these changes entail a lasting effect on her own physical appearance especially the area around the abdomen. It stretches out to accommodate the growing fetus leading to unseemly stretch marks and loose handing skin around the pelvic area. Unfortunately, exercise and diet alone cannot help you get rid of this excess fat and tissue post-pregnancy. Plastic surgery procedures like a full abdominoplasty with liposuction can help you correct excess fat, remove loose lower abdominal skin, and restore the abdominal wall.

Legs

Many women have the tendency of storing excess adipose tissue around their thigh areas. These fatty tissues can be sculpted to give your upper legs better shape with modern plastic surgery techniques. Sometimes, you may also find deposits of adipose tissue in the area below the knee up to the ankle. This too can be addressed with the help of mommy makeover procedures.

Buttock

You may end up with unwanted fatty tissues in your buttock area apart from other areas of concern after giving birth. You can go for buttock augmentation with procedures like liposculpturing and tissue equilibrium that help get rid of unwanted fatty tissue. This fat is then utilized as a volumizer of the buttocks and in the process enhances the shape of your body. The restored volume in your buttocks with little or no scarring can not only lift and shape them but also help address typical pregnancy issues of sagging skin in this area.

Back

A mommy makeover is incomplete without a well sculpted mi- back. This procedure essentially takes care of the bra line folds and flanks along with the abdomen to adjust the overall shape circumferentially. Liposuction in these areas can make massive improvements and contour the flanks and superficial skin that creates unwanted rolls on the back apart from removing extra fat and skin from here. This goes a long way in enhancing the way you wear your clothes and boosting your confidence and body image after pregnancy.

The road to recovery

A mommy makeover is essential to radically alter the way you look after your body goes through the excesses of pregnancy. It gives you more energy and overall does wonders for your self-esteem. However, it is also a surgical procedure that requires you to invest time to recover. A good plastic surgeon will help you plan in advance, so that you can enjoy the best and happiest outcomes. You will be made aware about an average downtime that will give your adequate time to make arrangements so that you can get all the rest required to heal properly.
