Mommy Makeover
Take back control of your body
Mothers have the hardest job in the world. Becoming a mother requires a tremendous amount of effort and dedication to bring a child to the world. A pregnancy and possible breast feeding bring huge changes to your life and body. Although the special relationship a woman has with her child is a true blessing, the changes to her body may sometimes be significant. And in a lot of cases, no amount of sport or diet can bring back the body of before. A mommy makeover is a gift I am able to give to all the mothers in the world. It is a terrific procedure that turns back time and brings back a young, energetic, harmonious body shape. All this, while keeping a natural result.
The essentials
A mommy makeover is an all-in-one procedure to improve the shape and aesthetics of the breast, abdomen, waist, and buttocks.
It brings a tremendous transformation to the body after one or several pregnancies.
It is usually a combination of the following procedures: breast lift or breast reduction or breast augmentation - abdominoplasty - liposuction - enhanced gluteal aesthetics
Despite the term “mommy makeover”, the same combination of procedures can also be performed without a history of pregnancy.
All necessary incisions are covered by normal underwear, a bikini or normal lingerie.
Consider a 2-week recovery time with easy dressings. Avoid physical activity for 6 weeks.
Respect the recovery time well and you will profit from the transformation for the rest of your life.
What is a mommy makeover ?
The term “mommy makeover” is a very popular description of a surgical procedure that transforms the body of a woman that gave birth and brings back the flat abdomen, perky breasts and slim body shape that every mother deserves. When I talk about a mommy makeover, I actually combine 4 main operations into 1:
A breast lift or breast reduction or breast augmentation to restore the shape, size and proportions of your breasts
A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty to give you a flatter, stronger abdomen and tighter waist line
A 360 degree liposuction to remove any fatty tissue excess and bring back harmony between breasts, abdomen, flanks and back
Improved gluteal aesthetics by using the suctioned fat to improve the shape and projection of your buttocks (if desired).
You can read a lot of information about each procedure separately by clicking on the surgeries themselves. For each procedure, I explain the incisions, surgical techniques, benefits and indications. The main ideas of this all-in-one procedure are:
If your breasts are too heavy, I will reduce and lift them to give you perkier, younger looking breasts that remove the back or shoulder pain and improve the fitting in a bra, shirt, or dress.
If your breasts are saggy or ptotic, I will lift them and use the tissue of the breasts to recreate a fuller, rounder shape that fits beautifully in any bra or shirt. Sometimes, an implant is needed if there is significant volume loss after breast feeding. That is something we will discuss during the consultation.
I will remove all the excess fat and skin excess of your lower abdomen to restore a flatter, tighter tummy that looks great in a bikini or swimming suit. At the same time, I strive to remove most or all of the stretch marks that you may have, re-inforce the abdominal wall, bring back the separated abdominal muscles and repair any hernia that you may have.
If there is excess fatty tissue in the flanks and/or back, I tackle that as well with a 360 degree liposuction. This will further enhance the tighter waist line, improve the waist-to-hip ratio, and make the skin contract again and give it a tighter tone.
The suctioned fat can be used to improve the aesthetics of both your breast and buttocks. In a breast lift, the fat can be re-injected to further enhance the upper pole fullness and cleavage of the breasts. For the buttocks, the fat can be used to enhance the overall shape and projection of the buttocks to give you a better, smoother look in a dress or pants after surgery.
If indicated, I will use the powerful technology of radio-frequency devices to enhance skin contraction and skin tone. This allows me to put the final touches on your all-new, beautifully crafted body.
By combining all these surgical procedures into one operation, the term “mommy makeover” truly holds value. During the consultation, I will explain to you the procedure in more detail, with pictures and photographs, as well as which scars to expect and the post-operative care that will be needed. You can expect a down time of 2 weeks, with light dressings.
A mommy makeover can address several areas of the body that lost there smooth, youthful appearance after pregnancy and weight changes.
The goal of a mommy makeover is to restore the female silhouette by treating both the sagged deeper tissues and lax excess skin.
What are the benefits of a mommy makeover ?
Although giving birth to a child is a wonderful thing and a miracle of humanity, the effects in can have to your body are not always beneficial. Saggy or heavy breasts, a deflated abdomen and loss of gluteal projection may have an impact on your mindset, physical activity and social life. With a mommy makeover, I aim to bring back the youth to your body. I do this by offering the following benefits:
Improved shape, size, and projection of the breasts
Reduced size of the nipple-areolar complex and improved symmetry
Better proportions of the breasts
Flatter abdomen that not only looks tighter, but feels stronger as well
Elimination of all or most of the stretch marks of the lower abdomen
Tighter waist line with improved waist-to-hip ratio
Improved gluteal shape and projection
Long-lasting results
A natural look
A boost in self-confidence
Are you a good candidate for a mommy makeover ?
If you have given birth to one or more children and you recognise one or more symptoms or concerns that I mentioned before, you probably will benefit from a mommy makeover surgery. There is no specific age requirement, as women of every adult age may have gone through the process of pregnancy and breast feeding. Moreover, the same kind of surgery may be performed without a history of pregnancy, but for patients with similar concerns (after weight loss, for example). The main decisions we need to make depend on your wishes and expectations, as well as the current aspect of your body. Sometimes, you may only wish for an enhanced breast shape, because you still have a flat tummy. Or your breast look gorgeous, but you do not like the look of your abdomen. There are numerous ways to perform a mommy makeover. At the end of the consultation, I assure you that we both will have a clear idea of what the best treatment is for you.
In general, you are a good candidate for a mommy makeover surgery if:
You have given birth to one or more children and do not like the changes that your body has gone through
You are not happy with the way your breasts look now
You miss the projection and roundness of the breasts you used to have and want that back or you experience too heavy breasts since your pregnancy
You do not like the aspect of your caesarian scar and also have some fat and skin excess of the abdomen
You would like to have a flatter abdomen and tighter waist line
You do not like the way your buttocks look in bikini, tight pants or dress
You feel insecure about the way your body changed after pregnancy
If you recognise some of these signs or concerns, I recommend you to plan a consultation in order to see how we can improve your overall body shape and bring a positive impact to your life.
