Pregnancy and childbirth are life-changing experiences but often cause dramatic changes to a woman’s body. Fortunately, a Mommy Makeover can target each woman’s areas of concern to restore a pre-pregnancy body and return a woman’s self-confidence.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover works by using several procedures in one surgery to create a full-body restoration, targeting each woman’s areas of concern. This means the Mommy Makeover may include different procedures for each woman depending on her needs and treatment goals. These may include anything from breast augmentation to liposuction.
What Procedures are Included in a Mommy Makeover?
Dr. Mashhadian performs Mommy Makeovers under general anesthesia in the Rodeo Surgical Art AAAHC certified surgical facility.
Dr. Mashhardian does not perform a one-size-fits-all Mommy Makeover. Each surgery addresses a woman’s specific needs, and no two women may have the same concerns. A Mommy Makeover often includes the following:
Breast Augmentation
Breasts often lose volume after pregnancy and breastfeeding. A breast augmentation can restore breast volume and symmetry. With a Transumbilical Breast Augmentation (TUBA), women can enjoy a breast augmentation with no visible scars.
Breast Lift
Many women see sagging breasts after pregnancy. A breast lift can restore the breasts to their former position, remove loose skin, and reshape the breast tissue. Breast augmentation and a breast lift will often go together to achieve an ideal breast shape.
Tummy Tuck
Pregnancy not only stretches the skin of the abdomen but can also separate the underlying abdominal muscles. A tummy tuck can remove loose skin, tighten the abdominal muscles, and restore a flatter stomach.
Liposuction
Some women choose liposuction during their Mommy Makeover to restore pre-baby curves and eliminate stubborn fat. Liposuction complements other procedures by sculpting and shaping the area to restore contours.
What Results Will I See From a Mommy Makeover?
Depending on the procedures involved, the results of a Mommy Makeover usually include lifted, firmer, and sometimes larger breasts, a firmer abdomen without sagging skin, and a more contoured and slimmer-looking figure. Most mothers just want to return to the body they enjoyed before pregnancy, but some women choose to enhance features they have always wanted, such as augmented breasts.
What is Recovery Like From a Mommy Makeover?
Recovery time varies based on the procedures performed. Most people can get up and around within a day or two and can resume moderate activities within about four to six weeks, following Dr. Mashhadian’s instructions. The proprietary Recovery EXL™ techniques offer faster and more comfortable recovery.
How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost?
Costs for a Mommy Makeover vary significantly depending on which procedures you have performed, among other factors. The American Academy of Plastic Surgeons gives a range of $9000 to $20,000, although you will find that this varies by location, the experience of the surgeon, and other factors.
