While having children can be an incredible experience, it can also take a heavy toll on your body. A Mommy Makeover could give you a fresh new look and restore your body to what it looked like before you started having children. You may even leave looking better than before!
When you are thinking about having a Mommy Makeover in The Woodlands, know that Dr. Olivier Deigni will tailor your treatment to fit your personal needs. At our surgical facility, you can consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can assess your body, discuss your desired outcomes, and recommend a treatment plan that is safe and effective.
A Mommy Makeover describes a combination of body contouring procedures designed to help restore and rejuvenate your body after undergoing pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Though motherhood is a wonderful experience, it can also leave you with sagging breasts, stretched abdominal muscles, and excess abdominal skin. Mommy Makeover procedures can help you regain your self-confidence.
Though each patient will require something different, Mommy Makeovers generally begin with enhancing your breasts and abdomen and build upon your treatment as needed. Before you undergo treatment, your plastic surgeon may recommend you wait until you are finished having children before having a Mommy Makeover to ensure lasting results.
There are many different procedures available in Mommy Makeovers, and they usually include both surgical and nonsurgical components. Since your breasts and abdomen are the primary areas of change with motherhood, your Mommy Makeover will likely center around their reshaping.
Your breasts can enlarge when you are pregnant and nursing, but when they return to their normal size, you may experience a significant loss of breast volume and noticeable sagging. You may consider a breast augmentation, which uses breast implants to increase the volume and restore fullness to your breasts. If you are looking to lift and reshape your breasts, you may consider a breast lift (mastopexy). You can speak with Dr. Deigni to determine if combining both a breast augmentation and a breast lift is appropriate for you.
You may notice that your abdomen is not as flat as it was before you became pregnant. After pregnancy, it is common for your abdomen to protrude or sag, but a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) can surgically tighten your abdominal muscles, remove excess skin, and eliminate stubborn abdominal fat. Dr. Deigni specializes in the drainless tummy tuck, which improves your recovery and quality of life.
When you want to remove localized fat and enhance your body contouring, you may decide to include a liposuction treatment as part of your Mommy Makeover. Liposuction can remove localized fat deposits in areas such as the hips, thighs, buttocks, and flanks, which often see a buildup during pregnancy.
In addition to surgical options, some Mommy Makeovers in The Woodlands may also include nonsurgical treatments like Botox, dermal fillers, or laser therapy to address facial wrinkles, skin texture, or other concerns.
Your recovery time can vary depending on what procedures you had for your Mommy Makeover. Make sure you allow yourself time to heal (and that someone is available to take care of your children) and that you follow all preparation and recovery instructions carefully. As with any surgical procedure, there are always potential side effects and risks associated with Mommy Makeovers. Most common side effects include bruising, swelling, and pain.
When you are considering a Mommy Makeover in The Woodlands, it is important that you are in good overall health. Dr. Deigni will consult with you about any illnesses, allergies, or pre-existing medical conditions you may have, as well as what medications you currently take. Your health history will help Dr. Deigni determine your best treatment plan.
After you have had children, you may find that your body could use some enhancement. This is the perfect time to discuss getting a Mommy Makeover in The Woodlands. Dr. Deigni and the staff at Deigni Plastic Surgery are here to support you and help you look and feel your best.
