Mommy Makeover: Regain Your Pre-Baby Body

mommy makeover

Have you felt as if you would never get back to normal since you have given birth to your babies? While being a mother is a wonderful feeling and one that you certainly would not give up, you may not be as happy with some of the other changes to yourself since your children arrived. You may notice that your body is just not as slim and trim as it once was. Places that used to be perky may now droop and sag. If you want to regain your pre-baby body, you have certainly come to the right place. We can use a mommy makeover to give you the following three benefits.

Lift Your Breasts

The first procedure that is included in the mommy makeover is the breast lift, or mastopexy. During pregnancy and especially during lactation, your breasts increase in size, swelling because of your hormones as well as your milk production. However, once you are no longer pregnant or breastfeeding, your breasts will go back to their original size, leaving behind sagging, loose tissues. A breast lift will raise your breasts as well as your nipples back to their original locations. A breast augmentation can also be added to this procedure.

Trim Your Waistline

The second surgical procedure done as part of the mommy makeover is the tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty. This procedure is also used to remove stretched-out skin and tissues from your lower abdomen. We can also reach up to your abdominals and stitch them back together if they have split apart during your past pregnancies. Sometimes, this abdominal stitching can do the most to restore a slimmer tummy shape and show off your toned belly.

Get Rid of Stubborn Fat

Because a tummy tuck is only designed to get rid of extra skin and not extra fat, you will probably also want the liposuction that is used with the mommy makeover. A liposuction removes fat cells permanently from your body. While it is most popularly used around the belly and love handles following pregnancy, it can really be used almost anywhere that you have experienced post-baby flab.

You certainly do not have to live with a post-baby body that you do not love. Instead, with the help of the multifaceted mommy makeover with board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Katerina Gallus at Restore SD Plastic Surgery, you can achieve beautiful results on your abdomen and on your breasts, and you can feel beautiful and totally feminine once again. We are conveniently located in San Diego. Contact us today to schedule your consultation!
