One of the greatest and most meaningful dreams for a woman is to become a mother. However, pregnancy and childbirth can cause some permanent changes in the body. In particular, sagging in the abdominal area, loss of volume or shape in the breasts, and fat accumulation are aesthetic problems that can negatively affect a mother’s self-confidence. For this reason, “Mommy Makeover” or postpartum body aesthetics procedures have become quite popular in recent years.
Mommy Makeover is not a single surgical procedure; it is a procedure that includes multiple aesthetic surgical procedures planned specifically for the individual.
Mommy Makeover is generally performed on women who have had children, experienced permanent changes in their physical appearance after childbirth, and are uncomfortable with these changes. For these procedures to be performed, the individual must:
1-Have been at least 6 months postpartum
2-Have completed breastfeeding
3-Be in good overall health
4-Have realistic expectations .
A Mommy Makeover typically includes the following procedures:
1-Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck): Aims to tighten the abdominal muscles and sagging skin that have loosened after pregnancy.
2-Breast aesthetics: Aims to restore the breasts to their former state by performing procedures such as lifting, enlarging, or reducing sagging or shrunk breasts after breastfeeding.
3-Liposuction: Excess fat is removed from areas such as the waist, hips, or abdomen.
Additionally, complementary procedures such as laser skin tightening or stretch mark treatment may also be preferred.
These surgeries are typically performed under general anesthesia, and since multiple procedures are combined, the recovery period may take several weeks. However, the results help individuals feel better both physically and psychologically. Body functions are improved, and a younger, more toned appearance is achieved.
Mommy Makeover is an effective and comprehensive aesthetic solution that helps mothers feel like themselves again after childbirth. When women can embrace motherhood with pride while also feeling satisfied with their bodies, it enhances their overall quality of life. If you are unhappy with the changes in your body after childbirth, you can consult with an aesthetic surgeon to evaluate a Mommy Makeover plan tailored to your needs.
