What is a Mommy Makeover?

After going through childbirth, it is not uncommon for moms to find that they don’t recognize who they see in the mirror. The breasts, stomach, hips, and nether regions can all be a source of discomfort, naturally leading the patient to seek out a reliable solution that can treat all of these issues simultaneously. Our mommy makeover in Worcester is popular for its ability to minimize recovery time and cut down on costs by combining several body sculpting procedures.

As every woman has their own unique issues, each mommy makeover treatment plan is individualized to achieve the patient’s specific goals and desires. Some treatment plans can consist of up to six procedures, while others include only one or two. The room for customization that comes with the mommy makeover makes it a popular option for improving self-confidence after childbirth. After undergoing the treatment, some mothers feel that they look better than ever before.

What Procedures Are Included?

Breast Surgery 

Breast augmentation can be performed to restore volume and redefine the shape of the breasts after nursing or a breast lift, aiding in treating issues such as sagging breasts and downward-facing nipples. In other cases, breast surgery means opting for a breast reduction to reduce the pain and exhaustion associated with overly large breasts. 

Liposuction

Liposuction is a popular body contouring procedure that works by removing excess fat from problem areas of the body, giving the patient a taut and more sculpted physique. If desired, the fat harvested from these areas can be injected into other areas as part of a fat transfer treatment (such as a Brazilian butt lift or facial fat grafting.)

Abdominoplasty

Also known as a tummy tuck, an abdominoplasty procedure removes unwanted skin folds from the abdomen and torso while reducing pockets of fat and addressing the separation of the abdominal muscles. This procedure leaves women with a flatter, more aesthetically appealing stomach, enhancing their wardrobe options.

Labiaplasty

Following pregnancy, it is not uncommon for the labia lips to be stretched out and lose their natural aesthetic. Labiaplasty improves both the form and function of this region, improving the patient’s intimate life while giving them increased comfort. Patients find that they are able to pick up sports, hobbies, and other activities that they had given up after undergoing a labiaplasty.

Facial Rejuvenation

Facial rejuvenation can be accomplished using injectables and dermal fillers, reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles while restoring volume and radiance to the patient’s complexion. Dermal fillers can be used to carry out a non-surgical facelift or rhinoplasty, bringing balance to the face and definition to the jawline.

Who is an Ideal Candidate?

Mothers that are dealing with sagging skin and stretch marks in the abdomen, as well as separation and lack of support in the stomach muscles, are good candidates for a mommy makeover in Northborough. Beyond this, women who are unhappy with their deflated or drooping breasts and issues in their nether regions may also want contouring in these areas. 

Overall, it is recommended that women be finished having children before deciding to undergo a mommy makeover procedure. While the procedure doesn’t have an effect on the patient’s ability to give birth in the future, additional pregnancies can potentially affect their results down the line.

Mommy Makeover Recovery

Every patient has their own unique issues, and a treatment plan is curated based on these needs. Just as these treatment plans are highly individualized, the recovery period will also vary from patient to patient. Women that undergo more invasive procedures, for example, can expect at least 1 to 3 weeks of downtime. Detailed post-procedure care instructions will be provided to the patient, as well as prescription medications and compression garments to help mitigate swelling.

Mommy Makeover Results

Results from a mommy makeover procedure are characterized by a more sculpted, slender, and youthful-looking aesthetic. The shape and volume of the breasts are enhanced, areas of fat accumulation are reduced, and the stomach is given a flatter, more toned look. As with any surgical procedure, there is some minor scarring, but most patients find that it is a welcome tradeoff for the results it achieves.
