Mommy makeover surgery
The idea of getting back to the pre-pregnancy body after child birth is neither alien nor frowned upon as vain and definitely no longer limited to the enviable “good genes”. Aesthetic restorative surgery has now ramified to cater to a generation of women making informed decisions for their health and wellness thus emerged the concept of combining cosmetic surgery procedures, popularly referred to as the Mommy make over surgery.
A few common changes that are encountered almost universally are:-
1) Mammary glands: as they gain volume, the overlying skin develops stretch marks, the hall mark of snapped collagen in the skin layers. Post delivery and breast feeding the breast size may reduce but the shape is altered especially after multiple pregnancies, resulting in a “deflated” or sagging appearance to the breasts.
2) Midsection: The abdomen is essentially formed by four tiered muscular apparatus. As the pregnancy advances, the uterus expands and pushes against the abdominal musculature causing the belly bulge, and eventually stretch and separate out. This change results in the “mommy pooch”, which is a combination of weakened core and pelvic floor muscles, excessive skin under the navel and the stretch marks all over the lower abdominal region.
3) Skin: shows a rather unpredictable response to pregnancy however most of the changes observed are usually temporary and only until deliver or a few weeks. Melasma gravidarium or mask of pregnancy is observed as obvious facial skin darkening, over the cheeks, forehead and perioral region. It usually settles after child birth but may persist in some women and need medical intervention.
Although, some women bounce back owing to either prenatal care comprising of strict diet, customized workouts and intense post partum discipline or a natural tendency or both, most women struggle. Irrespective, effects, such as, stubborn fat deposits, excessive skin and/or skin laxity and weakened and over stretched abdominal muscles, can only be treated with surgery.
The mommy makeover cosmetic surgery package
Mommy makeover is not a medical terminology but rather a colloquial term emphasizing upon the end result the treatment offers. It was initially the conjunction of two procedures, that is “mom job” and “mom tuck”. This ‘package’ procedure focuses primarily on the breasts and the mid section. It is now a more flexible advent, encompassing, any area of concern an obvious change in cost depending upon the area addressed.
The surgery is undertaken after a brief medical history and is usually completed in one or two stages, depending on the areas and the complexity of any given area. Opting for a single sitting, targeting the areas of concern is choice as it is less cumbersome and more economical.
Cosmetic procedures included in a mommy makeover:
Breast surgery: may comprise of a breast lift or a breast augmentation with an implant or breast reduction depending on the lady’s requirement. The breast lift and augmentation or reduction are often taken up in the same sitting and restore the size and shape of breasts.
Abdominoplasty: involves liposuction and tightening of separated abdominal muscles thus strengthening the midsection and narrowing the waist. Depending upon the amount of excess skin and tissue removed the surgery is classified as mini or extensive tummy tuck.
Lower abdominal skin with stretch marks is removed as the final correction.
Arm and thigh lifts and Liposuction: Are added at an extra cost to the treatment plan.
Face Rejuvenation: Elective procedures such as Lasers, dermal fillers and Botox for fine lines and wrinkles are often added to the treatment package on demand.
The 3 C’s of mommy makeover package
1.) Candidate: an ideal candidate should be in good health, following a healthy lifestyle and should be close to their target weight. Since there is a down-time involved followed by a period of limited activity it is imperative that the candidate arranges for help at home.
2.) Concern: It’s best to opt for the surgery when child bearing is complete. The risks involved are the same as that of any surgical procedure, such as discomfort, infection, bleeding and fluid collection. The incisions made, leave a scar but heal well. It’s advisable to follow up with your surgeon on this concern.
3.) Costs: Since a cosmetic procedure it’s not covered by insurance but most practitioners have financing plans available. The cost varies by location and depends upon the fees for the surgeon, anesthesia and cost of the operating room. Medical tourism can help here by offering the most affordable costs without compromising the quality and international medical standard
