Post-Pregnancy Transformation with Mommy Makeovers

Mommy makeovers have become a popular choice among women who feel that working out and eating right are not bringing about results fast enough. Many moms run a tight schedule and cannot afford to allot time toward their personal transformation journeys. Having the option to restore their bodies to the state they were in before their childbearing years is exhilarating, and thankfully a mommy makeover can help their self-confidence and provide a sense of empowerment.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover consists of multiple surgical procedures that target the common areas of the body most affected by pregnancy: stomach, breasts, vulva, and vaginal opening. Familiarizing yourself with each procedure helps you determine if it is a process you’re willing to commit to.

Tummy Tuck (Medical term: Abdominoplasty)

The tummy tuck focuses on flattening the abdominal wall by removing excess fat and skin. The procedure also:

• Reshapes the tummy area
• Eliminates sagging excess skin
• Tightens weakened abdominal muscles

Breast Augmentation

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can have detrimental effects on your breasts, leaving them less voluminous than before. Breast augmentation can help by: 

• Correcting loss of breast mass
• Restoring size and shape through the use of implants

Breast Lift (Medical term: Mastopexy)

As your breasts undergo massive changes in a short time, it is normal for their shape to deflate. A breast lift can restore your chest’s perkiness and also works to: 

• Tighten the skin
• Elevate drooping breasts
• Adjust the position of the nipple

Liposuction

If the main concern after significant weight loss or pregnancy is fat rather than sagging skin, liposuction is the ideal treatment for:

• Eliminating excess fat throughout the body (i.e., stomach, thighs, hips)

Vaginal Rejuvenation 

Your body is a powerhouse during birth, but the aftermath can leave many patients feeling abnormal. A labiaplasty can help correct the damage by:

• Restructuring the vulva, clitoris, and labia
• Tightening the vaginal opening

Prep for Mommy Makeover

It is important to get clearance from your primary care physician before undergoing any type of invasive procedure. This helps eliminate conflict or complications with any current medical conditions. Make sure that you account for the time you will spend recovering– notify your job regarding the time off you will need and recruit family and friends to assist with your daily obligations. Starting the process stress-free will reduce anxiety. Adhering to all of the instructions given to you by Dr. Fiorillo’s medical team will ensure this process runs smoothly.
