Pregnancy and childbirth is a rewarding experience that leaves women with fond memories and a new perspective on life. But, that’s not the only thing that changes. The body doesn’t forget pregnancy and childbirth, either. Many women find themselves with drooping breasts, enlarged areolas, stretch marks and pockets of fat in the abdomen. No matter how much the woman exercises or changes her diet, these changes still exist.

 

Modern Moms Have More Choices

Years ago, women had no choice but to deal with the natural changes in their body. But today, this mindset is changing. More women are considering surgical procedures to rejuvenate their bodies and improve their self esteem. In fact, there’s a name for these procedures: mommy makeovers.

Mommy makeovers are designed to rejuvenate the breasts, flatten tummies and give the body a youthful firmness after childbirth. The procedures that are used to achieve these results are collectively referred to as mommy makeovers. A woman can choose one or all of these procedures to bring their body to its post-maternity shape – or better! Let’s take a closer look at the surgical procedures that are available.

 

Breast Lift and Augmentation

The most common changes that women see with their breasts after childbirth are sagging, unevenness, drooping nipples, lost volume and stretched areolas. A breast lift is an effective way to reverse these changes. This procedure involves trimming excess skin and tightening the supporting tissues. For women who desire larger, smaller or more rounded breasts, a breast augmentation and breast lift together will achieve these results.

 

Tummy Tuck

The abdomen is very unforgiving after pregnancy, and many women struggle to get this area to look remotely close to what it did post baby. This is further complicated with weakened muscles and tissues that won’t firm up with diet and exercise alone. A tummy tuck helps flatten and shape the abdomen and waist by removing excess skin and tightening the muscles. This procedure is recommended after a woman is done having children.

 

Liposuction

Some women require more than a tummy tuck to remove pockets of stubborn fat, especially those who had c-sections and have fat hanging over their surgical scar. Liposuction removes stubborn pockets of fat from the abdomen, hips, thighs and buttocks. With advanced technology, there are a variety of liposuction methods that make this procedure less invasive. It can also be the start of a toned body and healthy lifestyle.
