Mommy makeover involves various surgical procedures that help improve a woman’s body shape to address pregnancy and breastfeeding changes. During pregnancy, the abdominal muscles stretch to accommodate the growing fetus, and this can result in sagging skin after birth. Breastfeeding can also alter the shape of your breasts, making them bigger or looser. Mommy makeover reconstructs various body parts helping you regain your pre-baby figure. Dr. Talal Munasifi, customizes your mommy makeover procedure to suit your unique needs. Mommy makeover involves various techniques, and here are some.
Tummy tuck
During pregnancy, your abdominal muscles stretch to accommodate the growing baby. After giving birth, your tummy may become looser than it was before. A tummy tuck eliminates unwanted abdominal skin and fat and tightens the abdominal muscles. Tightening the abdominal muscles can help reduce stretch marks and C-section scars. If you are planning to bear children in the future, you may postpone a tummy tuck until you are done having kids.
Breast augmentation
After breastfeeding, breasts tend to sag. Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that involves your surgeon inserting implants in your breasts to make them appear fuller. There are various implants for augmentation, and your specialist uses the one that fits your needs and preference. Silicone is the most commonly used implant.
Breast lift
A breast lift helps raise sagging breasts. The procedure involves your surgeon removing the excess skin and tightening the breast tissue, making your breasts appear more youthful and uplifted. A breast lift does not change the size of your breasts. Surgeons often combine breast lift and augmentation to help you achieve maximum results.
Breast reduction
Breast reduction, also known as mammoplasty, is a surgical technique that eliminates excess breast fat, tissue, and skin. Excessive breasts can make it difficult to perform physical activities or cause emotional distress. Breast reduction helps you achieve a breast size proportionate to your body and eliminates back pain or discomfort resulting from huge breasts. Most women go through breast reduction for aesthetic reasons or wardrobe concerns.
Liposuction
Most women gain excess weight after breastfeeding. Sometimes eating healthy and exercising may not reduce fat in all body parts. Liposuction removes stubborn fat in various regions, including arms, hips, buttocks, abdomen, and thighs. The procedure does not eliminate cellulite and is not a weight loss procedure. Your specialist may recommend you exercise regularly and take a healthy diet to maintain your results.
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is a surgical technique that reduces the size of your labia minora. Labia minora is the skin that surrounds your urethra and vagina. After giving birth, your labia minora can stretch, changing size and shape. The excess tissue may cause pain during sexual intercourse, discomfort during exercise, or harbor bacteria, increasing risks of urinary tract infections. Labiaplasty improves the appearance of your labia minora, enhancing comfort during sex and exercise and boosting confidence.
