01 Apr Treat Yourself this Mother’s Day with a Mommy Makeover
Get yourself what you really want this mother’s day—the ultimate mommy makeover from Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center. A mommy makeover doesn’t involve a set combination of surgeries, but rather a customized surgical plan that typically includes at least two procedures. Some of the most popular choices in a mommy makeover are a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast augmentation. However, you can create whatever combination of surgeries you’d like so that you can feel like you again.
There’s no denying that motherhood is an incredible gift, but if you’ve experienced childbirth you know that it can also create some serious physical changes. It’s okay if you don’t love all of them. We are living in an era where body positivity is being embraced and shared, and that’s awesome. We support you if you love your “tiger stripes” and are all about flaunting that mummy tummy. However, we also understand that we are all unique, and if you want to change or enhance something about your body, that’s great, too.
Why Mommy Makeovers are Trending
A lot of what mommy makeovers address are concerns that simply can’t be affected by diet and exercise alone. For example, a big part of a tummy tuck is removing excess, sagging skin. Our skin is an organ, and it can’t be manipulated like fat or muscle. No amount of healthy eating or exercise is going to make severe skin laxity disappear. That can only be achieved through a tummy tuck.
In many ways, breast augmentation addresses a similar issue. This procedure enhances the shape and volume of the breasts via breast implants. Women, and especially those who have undergone childbirth and/or breastfeeding, know that breasts are simply never the same afterward. The sagging can be uncomfortable and make you self-conscious when wearing certain clothing or when getting intimate. Breast augmentation doesn’t just enhance the size and shape of your breasts, but helps breasts to look young and perky once again. Many patients feel confident going bra-less after breast augmentation because their new chest is just that youthful.
The Only Way to Get Immediate, Gorgeous Results
Diet and exercise are important for anyone’s wellbeing, but these techniques can only do so much. The only way to get the results you really want and deserve this Mother’s Day is with surgery, and the great news is that the recovery period is often quicker than you think. Assuming “your” mommy makeover includes the popular tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast augmentation, the initial recovery period is about 4 – 6 weeks. Although you’ll want to take it easy during this time, that doesn’t mean you have to remain in complete bed rest. Many women take 1 – 2 weeks off of work, but then resume many sedentary activities like working on a laptop, reading to the kids, and even some gentle play like LEGO building at the kitchen table.
Your recovery timeline will be customized just for you, but most clients can begin exercising again about 6 – 8 weeks after surgery. This gives you an idea of just how active you can be. A lot of women put off having a mommy makeover because they are caring for their children, but the reality is that if you can have someone help you out for just a few weeks after the surgery, then it’s possible to fit a mommy makeover into your life. And the best part? It’s 100 percent worth it. A happy, confident mommy makes for a happy family life.
Make Your Mommy Makeover Even Better
The results of a mommy makeover last for many years (but do remember that your skin and body will continue to age). However, you can optimize and sustain those results even longer with some best practices. For starters, choose the right surgeon. A plastic surgeon who has a proven track record and who you feel comfortable with is key to getting results you’ll love. Next, make sure you follow the pre- and post-surgical care. These instructions are designed to protect you and enhance the healing process.
A healthy diet and routine exercise are essential for keeping the results as well as ensuring your health. Some non-invasive complementary procedures, such as chemical peels and laser skin rejuvenation, can make the results of a mommy makeover even better. Remember that plastic surgery doesn’t affect the quality of the remaining skin itself, but non-surgical treatments can.
