Mommy Makeover
Orlando, FL
Orlando, FL fellowship-trained plastic surgeon Dr. Raj Sawh-Martinez regularly consults with women who desire to get their pre-pregnancy silhouette back.
While childbirth is an exciting and amazing moment for a woman, it almost always will change the size and shape of certain body parts — and could leave one feeling a little frustrated.
The mommy makeover procedure uses a combination of liposuction and skin removal to reshape the breasts, stomach, buttock, and thighs — essentially any body part affected by pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or breastfeeding can be corrected. Furthermore, nonsurgical procedures can be incorporated to address surface imperfections, such as hyperpigmentation and blotchy skin, from the quick stretching and fluctuation of the tissue and skin during pregnancy.
The most exciting news is that it's achievable to get a slim and toned body with the assistance of the mommy makeover procedure performed at Craniofacial & Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
Mommy Makeover Candidates
The decision to undergo cosmetic breast surgery is incredibly personal. If you are considering this surgery, it is essential you do it for yourself. You should be healthy and at a normal weight with breasts that are fully formed and be the right age to receive implants. If you are unhappy with the size of your chest because they look small or asymmetrical, you could benefit from this surgery.
If you are past childbearing and are dissatisfied with the side effects remaining on your body, such as sagging breasts, wrinkled skin in the abdominal area, or undesirable areas of fat in the lower back, flanks, and buttocks, this procedure could be a great option for you. The overall goal of Dr. Sawh-Martinez is to help you regain your pre-pregnancy figure so you can get back to living life without worry.
Mommy Makeover Surgical Technique
The mommy makeover procedure is a custom surgery tailored for patients by Dr. Sawh-Martinez based on the areas of concern to be repaired. A variety of procedures can be performed in conjunction — the most popular of which are a breast lift with or without implants, abdominoplasty, and liposuction.
All of these procedures are performed while the patient is under general anesthesia, lasting 3 – 7 hours, depending on the complexity. Also, a day-long stay at the hospital may be required. It is common to also incorporate nonsurgical skin rejuvenation, such as an injection or a laser treatment, to smooth facial wrinkles and diminish surface irregularities.
What to Expect from a Mommy Makeover
Once you have been released to leave the hospital, you will begin your recovery at home with ample rest. Recovery from a mommy makeover is generally a slow process. Standing upright will be difficult the first couple of weeks and a carefully followed, at-home treatment protocol will be necessary to ensure the incisions heal properly. The majority of women find the healing process can last around six months.
Even while the primary recovery could take months, the majority of women are able to get back to a somewhat normal routine within several weeks. Exercise should be held off for approximately two months. In the end, the mommy makeover procedure at Craniofacial & Aesthetic Plastic Surgery can have an incredible impact on women, helping them reclaim their figure and their confidence.
FAQs
How much does a mommy makeover cost?
Mommy makeover costs will vary, depending on which procedures are part of your surgical plan. During your consultation, Dr. Sawh-Martinez will develop your treatment plan and then he will be able to discuss possible costs. A mommy makeover is about rejuvenating your confidence after having children so it is best to concentrate on reaching your goals rather than shopping for the cheapest surgeon. Craniofacial & Aesthetic Plastic Surgery accepts several payment methods and will give you information on finding low-interest financing to make your mommy makeover affordable.
How do I decide what to include in my mommy makeover?
During your consultation with Dr. Sawh-Martinez, he will work to understand your concerns and goals before performing a physical examination. Following this, he can give you suggestions on what to include in your surgical plan. Typically, women select a breast surgery (an augmentation, lift, or both), plus a tummy tuck and liposuction.
What about nonsurgical treatments?
Childbirth and pregnancy are hard on your body, which is why nonsurgical procedures usually aren't enough to produce noticeable improvements. During your consultation, Dr. Sawh-Martinez will explain both nonsurgical and surgical treatments. After listening to your concerns and goals, he will help you create a plan that includes surgical and nonsurgical solutions for each of your problem areas. Often, nonsurgical solutions, such as injectables and skin care, can complement your surgical results.
Will I have scars?
Although a mommy makeover gives you a rejuvenated figure, it does leave surgical scars. Dr. Sawh-Martinez will make small, clean incisions. Most scars will be placed so they can be covered with swimsuits and underwear. When reviewing your post-surgical care instructions, Dr. Sawh-Martinez or a member of his team will give you tips on scar care so your stitches heal and fade.
What if I get pregnant again?
Ideally, you should hold off on getting a mommy makeover until your family is complete so your results aren't compromised. Most surgically treated areas of your body are at risk for changing if you decide to become pregnant again. Should you have another child after a mommy makeover, another surgery may be done to restore your results.
