Are You a Good Candidate for the Mommy Makeover?

The female body goes through incredible changes during and after pregnancy, and not every figure can miraculously go back to the shape it was in before. Many women can grow frustrated by this, and feel the desire to return to their pre-pregnancy bodies. Unfortunately, no matter how much diet and exercise people dedicate themselves to, some change becomes much more stubborn than others.

That’s where the mommy makeover comes in. It’s a relatively new trend by plastic surgeons to offer women a combination of cosmetic procedures to enhance their post-baby bodies. No makeover is exactly the same– each combination of procedures is chosen by the patient at the doctor to determine which is best for their specific needs. You can customize them to include liposuction, breast augmentation, or repair stretched abdominal muscles, to name a few examples.

Pregnancy Takes a Toll 

Giving birth is one of the most extraordinary things a human being can possibly do, and it’s unfortunate that many women feel bad about their bodies after doing so. The most commonly affected areas tend to be the breasts, abdomen, and developing loose saggy skin post-pregnancy.

A mommy makeover can target these areas and restore your body to a more youthful and refreshed state. Depending on what type of issues you want to tackle, Dr. Turk at the Naples Cosmetic Surgery Center can help you decide which combination of surgeries or procedures will work best for you.

Grow Your Self Confidence 

A mommy makeover consists of multiple surgeries at the same time which can result in a long recovery time, but it’s worth it in the end. You’ll emerge with a newfound confidence in yourself, feeling much closer to your pre-pregnancy body.

Determining the right time for a full mommy makeover can take some consideration as well. You must be fully recovered from your last pregnancy to start surgeries, you may want to avoid certain injectables if you’re still breastfeeding, and it’s best to wait to have these procedures done until you are completely finished having children. If you still want more kids in the future, a mommy makeover should wait until after that.
