We all know that moms are an essential force that holds the world together. But who’s holding moms together? While you dedicate your time, energy, and, in many cases, your bodies to your children and families, you need someone to help you retain the appearance that makes you feel most like yourself. Moms like you put others before yourselves all day long. We think it’s finally time to put yourself first. For moms who deserve to be celebrated for the incredible gifts they bring to the world, we offer the mommy makeover.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
It is a term used to describe the combination of several plastic surgeries during one session that focuses on common issues for mothers. Moms don’t always have a ton of time in their lives to schedule and recover from multiple individual surgeries. The surgery addresses multiple areas of concern at once, giving the patient remarkable results with only one recovery period.
This combo procedure is a little bit like a buffet bar. You can choose the areas of concern you’d like to address and combine them as you see fit. That said, moms commonly lean toward specific groups of surgeries that have been given the moniker.
The Full Makeover
One of the most common combinations gives the patient a complete refresh and total body transformation by combining the breast lift and augmentation, tummy tuck, and liposuction. These surgeries combined can roll back the clocks and virtually erase years of wear and tear on the body exacerbated by pregnancy, breastfeeding, and motherhood.
The expansion of a woman’s body during pregnancy very commonly creates stretch marks and sagging skin around the stomach and breasts and can weaken the abdominal wall, keeping the tummy from bouncing back after carrying a baby. Once your skin stretches beyond the point of return, the only real solution is the tummy tuck or breast lift. Both of these procedures address sagging tissue by removing excess skin and tightening the underlying muscles to create a more lifted and youthful appearance in the tummy or breasts.
In addition to lifts and tucks, the makeover can also include the removal of excess fatty tissue during liposuction and the addition of an implant to augment the patient’s existing breast size.
The Mini Makeover
As popular as the full mommy makeover is, some patients prefer a less involved surgery. For those moms, we recommend mini makeovers. One popular example is a combination of breast augmentation and breast lift procedures. It is common for women to lose mass in their beasts as they age. When breast augmentation and lift are combined, we not only get a larger breast but a perkier, more shapely breast as well.
Another popular combination is a tummy tuck with liposuction. When patients have pesky pockets of fat they can’t seem to lose, the combination of tuck and lipo is extremely effective in producing results the patient can be proud of. However, i’s important to note that this combination is not a weight loss solution. Lipo is used to remove fat once traditional weight-loss methods have been exhausted. These combination procedures create outstanding results.
At the Florida Center for Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery, we want to help combat the false cultural narrative that moms put everyone before themselves. It sounds nice, but it’s not sustainable. Instead, we want to be part of a movement that reminds women to prioritize their needs in addition to the needs of those they love.
