The Mommy makeover method is a comprehensive postpartum treatment that helps to restore the figure after pregnancy and is carried out thanks to a totally personalized diagnosis. In fact, it is a set of plastic surgery interventions, whose purpose is to recover the shape and smoothness of the breasts, a flat abdomen and eliminate fat, especially in the thighs and abdomen.
The recovery of the figure is different in each woman and often affect factors such as:
- Age
- Genetics
- Lifestyle
- Pre-pregnancy physical constitution
What procedures are used in the Mommy makeover?
The procedures included in this technique are abdominoplasty, reduction, breast augmentation or breast lift and, sometimes, liposuction of lipid accumulations.
- Abdominoplasty: allows the removal of abdominal fat and excess skin through an incision in the lower abdomen. The goal is to regain the smoothness of the abdomen, achieving a flat stomach.
- Breast surgery: the breast, once the stimulus of lactation ceases, begins to recover its pre-pregnancy appearance, although in many cases it changes slightly in shape and position, it is shown as empty or sagging. Depending on the characteristics of each patient, one technique or another would be performed:
- breast augmentation with prostheses to restore the appearance and volume of the breast.
- breast reduction to reduce the size.
- breast lift without adding volume with breast prostheses through a mastopexy.
- Liposuction: it is in charge of eliminating that localized fat that we do not eliminate neither with exercise nor diet. It is performed through a small incision in the area to be treated, a thin tube called a cannula is introduced and is connected to a vacuum aspirator that allows suctioning the fat from the body. In all our liposuctions, we accompany the postoperative treatment with INDIBA sessions, which accelerate the recovery process and dramatically improve the results.
How to maintain the results of the Mommy makeover?
To maintain the results it is recommended to maintain an adequate diet and exercise regularly. In addition, it is important to plan the intervention once the patient has recovered from childbirth.
It is important to remember that this technique will make more sense if the woman has decided not to have any more children, so that the intervened areas do not suffer changes again.
