A woman’s
body goes through many changes during pregnancy and following childbirth. Along
with the hips and thighs being wider, the abdominal skin may be loose and sag,
and the breasts may droop or be deflated.
A mommy makeover seeks to address these problems through a breast lift
and/or breast augmentation, liposuction and a tummy tuck.
As it
specifically relates to the breasts, a breast lift is designed to raise and
reshape skin/tissue that has lost elasticity. It can be performed alone or with
a breast augmentation. If alone, it should be noted that the breasts will be
lifted, but will not offer the fullness and projection one would get from
having implants inserted. When done together, you achieve height, volume and projection.
To address
the abdomen, a tummy tuck tightens abdominal muscles, and loose skin and excess
fat are excised. Liposuction can be used with a tummy tuck to contour the
stomach and further rid stubborn fat, but it can also be utilized on the hips,
thighs and other problematic areas.
All of these
areas (the breasts, tummy and thighs/hips) can be tackled in a single procedure,
but would require more than one surgeon. A single procedure means recovery can
take place all at once.
