Most women consider pregnancy one of the most fulfilling times of their life. For nine months their pregnancy is constantly on the forefront of their mind. However, after the pregnancy, they may find themselves wishing that they could restore their body to its post-pregnancy state.
After having more children, this desire continues to grow stronger for many women. Some of these women choose to have a “mommy makeover.” This is a combination of procedures to address the effects of pregnancy which cannot be changed through diet and exercise. One thing that women must remember before visiting their Orange County cosmetic surgeon for a mommy makeover is to wait until they are done having children.
Obviously it would be pointless to get procedures done only to have to get them done again. Also, a woman must ensure that she has time to dedicate herself to the research and recovery time it takes to get this kind of procedure. However, in the right circumstances, a mommy makeover can completely change a woman’s life!
Orange County liposuction is one of the most popular procedures involved in a complete mommy makeover. After pregnancy, it is likely that pockets of fat will remain that will be very difficult to get rid of with diet and exercise. Liposuction is a very safe procedure that can be done with minimal bruising and scarring. Also, it can be done on the stomach, arms, thighs, neck, and other parts of the body. Body lifts or a tummy tuck often go hand in hand with liposuction.
Sometimes, when a large quantity of fat is removed from the body, there is excess skin remaining that can be much more unattractive than the original fat. A tummy tuck can also be performed without liposuction. During pregnancy, the skin will inevitably stretch. During a tummy tuck Orange County plastic surgeons will remove excess skin while tightening the stomach muscles. The incision is generally done along the line of the hips, where it can be easily covered up by underwear or a bathing suit.
Another area that is frequently addressed during a mommy makeover is the breasts. After having children and breast feeding, the breasts will inevitably lose some of their volume. Pregnancy can cause the breasts to sag. When it comes to breast implants Orange county women often think of a mommy makeover as a perfect time to not only restore their breasts to their original volume but also make them bigger than before.
Some women forego the implants and get a breast lift or mastoplexy. This involves making incisions in the breasts and lifting the nipples and some of the breast tissue to create a fuller look. However, if the breasts have little tissue left, sometimes implants are needed. Your plastic surgeon can give you more information on how to best restore your breasts to their post-pregnancy state.
