The Top 6 Benefits of a Mommy Makeover

Being a mom is one of the best roles a woman could ask for. You spent months, or even a total of years, carrying your children during pregnancy. Your body did some amazing things! But, now that your children are older, you might be looking for a way to turn back the clock to what you had before pregnancy.

Aside from the physical changes, one of the biggest advantages of a mommy makeover is restoring your self-confidence. Some moms look in the mirror and see insecurities rather than beauty. Mommy makeovers restore a woman’s confidence, helping moms see their own vitality again.

Confidence manifests itself in many ways. Your mood soars, your relationship with your family improves, and your productivity reaches new levels — no more mental restrictions with a mommy makeover.

If you’re interested in a mommy makeover, consider the advantages of the procedures and how they can help transform your life.

What Are the Benefits of a Mommy Makeover Procedure?

Beyond rebuilding your self-worth, mommy makeovers have other rewards, such as:

1. Have Multiple Surgeries at One Time

A mommy makeover often consists of three surgical procedures, potentially more depending on your goals. Mommy makeovers typically include:

A tummy tuck
A breast lift
Liposuction

Having these surgeries together limits the hassles of scheduling, recovering, and billing.

Some patients choose to receive each treatment separately because of their lifestyle or isolated goals. There are no rules against this, but it requires multiple different consultation appointments, multiple times under anesthesia, and additional surgical recoveries. A mommy makeover requires far fewer appointments.

The typical recovery time for a mommy makeover is typically 4-6 weeks. But, if you choose to do these surgeries separately, total recovery time can extend for months. You only have to recover once with a mommy makeover!

Choosing to do multiple procedures at once also saves you money. And, because you’re paying once, you’ll have fewer headaches with billing and insurance.

2. Receive a More Dramatic Effect

A mommy makeover allows you to do everything at once. You’ll see the biggest change in a short amount of time, rather than drawing out your transformation over several months or years.

The results are long-lasting, too, when maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Once your body fully heals, maintain or enhance your results by regularly exercising, eating a healthy diet, and following your doctor’s postoperative instructions.

3. Replenish Your Skin

During pregnancy, your body prepares for your growing baby by producing a flood of hormones. These pregnancy hormones cause many physical changes, like skin pigmentation changes and loose skin.

Many moms miss their taut skin from their youth. Mommy makeovers improve your skin pigmentation, complexion, and feel, restoring some of your confidence.

4. Find Clothes That Actually Fit

After your mommy makeover, you’ll find clothes suddenly fit better.

Your skin feels tighter, your midsection looks leaner, and your breasts look youthful again. There’s no more hunting for jeans roomier in the waist and tighter in the thighs, or shirts that fit tight around your chest and loose around your midsection. You may even start shopping at new stores and for smaller sizes!

5. Enhance Your Cleavage

Breasts tend to lose their shape after you have babies, especially if you choose to breastfeed. Breast lifts and augmentations help restore your cleavage’s youthful appearance.

Breast lifts remove the excess skin under and around your breasts. This raises and tightens the breasts’ overall appearance, giving moms the perkiness and fullness of their pre-pregnancy breasts. Some women receive breast augmentations, too, increasing their breast size via implants. Whether you receive an augmentation or not depends on your goals.

6. Remove Any Stretch Marks

During pregnancy, your skin stretches to accommodate your growing baby. This often leads to natural stretch marks, no matter how much you try to avoid it with ointments or lotions.

Stretchmarks form around the stomach, hips, and thighs, even after losing the initial baby weight. If you’ve felt embarrassed by your stretch marks, a mommy makeover can help.

Tummy tucks remove the loose skin and stretch marks from the lower abdomen, and breast procedures remove stretch marks from the skin surrounding the breasts. You may choose to receive an arm or thigh lift, too, to remove stretch marks in other areas of your body.
