The Mommy Makeover is a combination of surgical procedures designed to improve the appearance of those areas of the body most affected by pregnancy - the breasts and abdomen. For those women who develop melasma, “the mask of pregnancy”, aggressive skin care will help rejuvenate the face and restore the skin to a healthy state.
During pregnancy, a woman experiences an increase in the size of her breasts and abdomen. Her skin is not only stretched, but her body actually grows more skin. Following delivery, a woman's ability to return to her pre-pregnancy physique depends upon how drastic these changes were and how resilient her skin is. Breast feeding may lead to significant changes in the breasts. Often this results in small, sagging breasts and excess skin and fat of the abdomen. These problems may be corrected by a combination of the following procedures. For many patients, the breast and abdominal procedure may be performed at the same time.
Mommy Breast Augmentation
Women who desire breast enhancement following childbirth and breast feeding face different challenges than women who have never experienced significant changes in their breast size. Mothers who have had an increase in breast size, followed by a loss of breast volume post-partum are often left with small breasts that appear to sag.
With breast augmentation surgery, an implant may be used to restore breast volume and give the breasts a lifted appearance. Excess skin may be removed and the nipple position may be elevated at the time of the augmentation, in a manner to conceal the scar. Overall, the breasts are fuller, lifted, and rejuvenated.
