Being a plastic surgeon, I hear about the desire from hundreds of women to have their “pre-baby body back”. Certainly, the joy of having a child is beyond what words can describe, yet the effects on a woman’s body from pregnancy can be quite a compromise.
A woman’s abdomen post pregnancy can be left with stretch marks, and even redundant skin. The breasts undergo radical changes from expansion to deflation. Sometimes a baby can favor one breast more than the other when breast-feeding, causing one breast to hang more than the other. Though proper exercise and diet is essential in getting the body back into the best shape, unfortunately there is no exercise or diet powerful enough to tighten up the skin, erase stretch marks, lift or fill-out deflated breast. The solution? A Mommy Makeover!
An abdominoplasty, (otherwise known as a “Tummy Tuck”) is a surgical procedure where the abdominal skin is pulled tight and excess skin is removed, resulting in a very tight and defined torso. A thin and low scar runs usually from hip to hip that can easily be covered with underwear, or a bikini. With time, the scar lightens and becomes virtually inconspicuous. The abdomen can even be tighter than it ever was before! In regards to the breast, depending on one’s desire, breast implants can add volume and shape to the breast to look youthful and sexy. In conjunction (or alone without implants) a breast lift can be performed to lift the nipple into a more ideal and perky position, reduce the size of a larger areola and remove excess skin.
Both surgeries can be done at the same time, but is strongly determined by one’s health, lifestyle, and post-surgical care. A mommy makeover is most deserving for any woman who ever had a baby and whose body suffered the consequences. It is possible. You can get sexy back! Start living the dream today!
