Although Atlanta is still too cold for us to think about warm weather and our desired “beach bodies,” if you are looking to pursue cosmetic surgery, now is the perfect time to start planning in order to recover before the temperatures begin to heat up. Mommy makeover surgery is one or more body contouring procedures I specifically recommend undergoing during this time of year.
As most new parents will attest, having a baby is one of the greatest gifts. Most mothers will also agree, it can also take a major toll on your body physically. I will often recommend a mommy makeover for women who are looking to tighten up their waistline or undergo complete body rejuvenation. It is essential for female patients to wait until after they are finished having children before considering mommy makeover as additional pregnancies can reverse your results. Additionally, it is important for you to be in overall good physical and mental health before undergoing any type of cosmetic procedure. During your consultation, we will discuss your personal cosmetic surgery goals and what customized procedures will be performed in order to give you the look you desire.
Typically, mommy makeover is a comprehensive combination surgery incorporating both breast and body contouring procedures. If you suffer from sagging breasts or have lost volume, a breast augmentation or breast lift can be performed. To sculpt the areas on the abdomen where skin and muscle has stretched, I use tummy tuck surgery to target excess fat and skin and re-tighten weakened abdominal muscles for a firmer, more contoured outcome. Additionally, I can combine liposuction to remove stubborn isolated pockets of fat and help sculpt the midsection as well as the thighs, hips, and arms. By combining surgeries, the amount of downtime is significantly less than if you had individual procedures. Depending on the procedures performed, during your mommy makeover, each person’s recovery time will undoubtedly differ. I advise all my patients to regularly schedule follow-up appointments with me in order to receive recommendations for minimizing the risks of complications.
