Best Mommy Makeover
Houston

Childbearing and nursing can cause changes to the breasts, such as decreased volume, loss of nipple sensation and position, and laxity of skin and breast tissue. Breast augmentation can restore volume and improve the shape of the breasts. Depending on your unique goals and condition, you can get silicone implants, saline implants, or breast fat grafting, which involves transferring excess fat cells from another part of the body to your breasts.

Also known as a mastopexy, a breast lift is often combined with breast augmentation to improve the overall shape and projection of the breasts. Childbirth and nursing can lead to deflated and sagging breasts with nipples that point downwards. A breast lift repositions the nipple and areola to a higher, more youthful position and removes excess skin. This procedure can make your breasts look perky and uplifted.

Pregnancy and weight fluctuations can cause stretched skin and separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti). No matter how many crunches you perform, you can’t fix your damaged muscles with exercise and dieting alone. As part of a mommy makeover, a tummy tuck can remove excess skin and tighten the abdominal muscles to create a flatter, more toned abdomen. The incision for a tummy tuck is usually hip-to-hip along the bikini line, so it mostly remains out of sight.

Liposuction is one of the most common procedures used during a mommy makeover. This procedure involves using a specialized cannula to remove excess fat cells from targeted regions, such as the hips and abdomen. Liposuction improves the overall contours of the body. By removing stubborn fat pockets, liposuction can create a more aesthetically pleasing shape, particularly in the thighs, hips, and buttocks.

An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a procedure done to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms. This is a common problem after pregnancy because the skin stretches and the fat deposits increase in the upper arms. The surgeon makes a strategic incision along the insides of the upper arms, following which they trim away excess skin. An arm lift will improve the shape and contour of the arms.

A lower body lift removes excess skin and fat from the lower body. After childbirth, women often notice excess fat deposits around the hips and thighs, which can be almost impossible to remove with regular exercise and dieting alone. During a lower body lift, the surgeon trims away excess skin and removes excess fat deposits to improve the shape and contour of the lower body, including the hips, buttocks, and thighs.

Labiaplasty is a procedure that alters the size and appearance of the labia minora and labia majora around the vulva to improve their visual appearance. After childbirth, the labial skin and tissues can get stretched and become larger because of excess fat deposits, leading to physical discomfort. Labiaplasty involves making strategic incisions to make the labia look youthful again.

A Brazilian butt lift, also known as BBL, is done to improve the shape and contour of the buttocks, making them look fuller and more lifted. Pregnancy and childbirth can often lead to sagging buttocks, which can lead to self-consciousness, especially when wearing a bikini. The BBL surgery involves harvesting excess fat cells from other parts of the body via liposuction, and injecting them into the buttocks, thus providing natural augmentation.

Generally speaking, you can expect to experience some pain and discomfort, bruising and swelling, and tightness in the treated area. Most patients report that the pain is manageable with pain medications. The bruising and swelling will peak after two to three days and then improve. The tightness in the treated area subsides within a few weeks. You must wear the compression garments prescribed by your surgeon to minimize swelling.

Most patients after a mommy makeover can expect to take approximately two weeks off from work and other activities. During this time, you should rest and avoid any strenuous activity. You can resume regular physical activities after about 4 to 6 weeks. However, every patient is different; some may need more or less time to recover. You must follow your surgeon’s aftercare instructions for incision care, medications, activity limitations, and compression garments.
