When to Choose a Mommy Makeover?

Motherhood is a transformative journey that many women are proud to experience. Childbearing also comes with challenges, and some women have difficulty recognizing themselves after pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding. While the sacrifices are worth holding a beautiful newborn in their arms, women often seek plastic surgery to restore their pre-pregnancy breast and body shape. Women who are finished growing their families are often good candidates for mommy makeovers.

Pregnancy stretches the abdominal muscles. Moreover, most women have excess weight and skin tissue after childbirth, and the breasts tend to droop or sag after childbirth or breastfeeding. There is, however, a way to address all of these changes. Mommy makeover is a popular combination procedure for mothers who want to feel more like themselves again and get back to their pre-baby appearance.

What Procedures Does Mommy Makeover Involve?

Each woman has unique cosmetic concerns with her body after pregnancy and childbirth. Mommy makeover uses a combination of procedures for a customized approach that allows women to reach their desired results with one surgery.

Mommy makeover may include:

Liposuction to eliminate unwanted fat around the hips, flanks, waist and other areas where fat tends to accumulate during pregnancy.
Tummy Tuck (abdominoplasty) to remove loose skin tissue and tighten stretched abdominal muscles for a flatter, tighter body shape. Liposuction alone can exacerbate the appearance of sagging skin; combining tummy tuck and liposuction provides the best results.
Breast Augmentation to restore lost volume after pregnancy and/or breastfeeding. Many women experience breast growth during this season of their lives and are unhappy with the shrinkage they experience at the end of their pregnancy journey. Breast implants or fat grafting can restore breast shape.
Breast Lift surgery to correct sagging or uneven breasts. Gravity, age and hormonal changes cause the breasts to droop over time. Breast lift elevates the tissues for a more youthful breast position and shape.
Breast Reduction can restore a proportionate breast and body shape when hormonal changes cause overly large breasts during pregnancy. Breast reduction can improve shoulder, back or neck pain caused by excess weight and restores nipple position.

How to Prepare for Mommy Makeover?

Preparing for mommy makeover may involve some lab tests and medication changes. Patients should discuss their medical history and current prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs and supplements with Dr. Jaibaji during their consultation. Some medications, such as aspirin, can increase the risk of bleeding during surgery and affect healing. Women who smoke must quit before their procedure and throughout their recovery.

Dr. Jaibaji performs plastic surgery in an accredited surgical facility, and mommy makeover requires general anesthesia. Patients should ask questions and bring up concerns about the surgical procedure and recovery during their consultation to ensure they’re fully prepared for the process.

Some women find it helpful to prepare their homes and family members for surgery and recovery. That may include cooking and freezing nutritious meals ahead of time and lining up help at home with young children. A trusted friend or family member should drive patients to and from the hospital and stay with them for the first day or two to ensure their needs are met and help them follow post-op instructions.

Preparing the home for plastic surgery recovery can involve creating a healing space with pillows to elevate the upper body, chargers for smartphones, tablets and other electronics and easy access to water, nutritious snacks and remotes for entertainment.

Mommy Makeover Post-Op and Recovery

This combination procedure is customized to each woman’s needs and cosmetic goals, and recovery times and details will vary based on the plastic surgeries involved in the mommy makeover.

Bandages, gauze and compression garments are applied to incision sites and surgical areas after mommy makeover procedures. Some patients may have surgical drains. Supportive bras and elastic bandages help the breasts and body heal by minimizing swelling.

Dr. Jaibaji will provide post-op instructions during mommy makeover recovery that outline how to care for incisions, approved medications and warning signs of complications. Patients will come in for follow-up appointments in the days and weeks after their mommy makeover to ensure their breasts and body are healing correctly and address any concerns.

Mommy makeover recovery takes several weeks and comes with physical limitations. Patients should avoid strenuous activities for six weeks and wait to start exercises until Dr. Jaibaji has cleared them to do so.

Choosing the Right Breast Surgery for Mommy Makeover

Mommy makeover can involve breast augmentation, breast lift or breast reduction. Pregnancy and breastfeeding affect the breasts in many ways. Some women may struggle with overly large breasts at the end of their motherhood journey, while others experience deflated or sagging breasts.

Breast augmentation is the most popular breast surgery. This procedure focuses on increasing breast size. Implants or fat grafting can enhance the breasts and restore lost volume but will not address drooping or sagging breasts. For some, a combination of breast augmentation and breast lift may provide the best results. Breast reduction comes with a breast lift to elevate and reshape the remaining glandular tissue.

Dr. Jaibaji can help determine the right breast surgery for your needs based on your breast appearance, anatomy and desired results.
