Mommy Makeover: The Indian Woman Has Arrived?
There's
nothing quite like the joy of being a mother. The thrill of feeling your baby
kick, seeing that miraculous little face for the first time, the tenderness of
breastfeeding. It's an incredible experience. But as great as parenthood is, it
can take a real toll on your body. Weight gain, stretch marks, loss of muscle
tone, sagging breasts – the list of physical "side-effects" goes on
and on. Your body goes through tremendous changes during pregnancy, and more
often than not, it doesn't change back.
Mommy
makeover: What is it?
It depends
on the needs of the individual, but most commonly, mommy makeover is a
combination of tummy tuck, breast lift or enhancement, and liposuction.
Mommy makeover: Who It Is For?
It is for
all those women wanting to restore the look of their pre-pregnancy bodies or
better.
How to Lose those Stubborn Fat Deposits?
Diet and
exercise don't help with these deposits localized in the abdomen, hips, thighs
and back which makes liposuction the ideal solution for tackling trouble spots.
Liposuction may be suction assisted (SAL), Ultrasound assisted (VASERR) or Mechinical Assisted (MicoairR) ; but please be aware that liposuction is not a weight loss tool. The excess fat removed during liposuction surgery can also be used for Brazilian butt lift for fuller, more attractive buttocks.
Why should I Tighten up the Tummy?
Liposuction
alone cannot do anything to treat stretched muscles or extra skin. A tummy tuck
takes care of all of the abdominal issues—the stretch marks, excess skin and
stretched abdominal wall—and also gives surgeons the ability to bring in the
waist like a corset; to accentuate the waist and add definition to the abdomen.
This is a crucial part of any Mommy Makeover. A nicely contoured waist blends
into the flattened abdomen in a natural way.Women who have had C-sections scars
can get this surgery done through the same.
Can Mommy Makeover make my Breasts Youthful?
Yes by a
breast lift or breast augmentation or both. A breast lift removes excess
stretched skin, raises the nipples and reduces sagging. If you've lost
significant volume, a breast augmentation may be the right choice for you. On
the other hand, some women's breasts increase uncomfortably in size during pregnancy,
and stay that way after childbirth. In that case, a breast reduction may be the
way to go. It’s important to know that all breast lift surgery results in scars
that are well hidden if properly planned.
How do I get rid of my Stretch Marks?
Preventing
them by applying coconut oil massages daily from day one of your pregnancy is
the best way around. But once they develop they are difficult to get rid of. Laser
skin-resurfacing treatments apart from tummy tuck surgery are definite ways.
Microdermabrasion also aids reducing their visibility but requires multiple
sittings with the plastic surgeon.
Can My Bikini Area Be Young Looking?
Private
part rejuvenation (genital rejuv) is
a combination of procedures including hymenoplasty, vaginal tightening, labioplasty
and fat injections for a youthful and naive appearance.
When can I get a Mommy Makeover?
Most
plastic surgeons recommend letting the body heal for three to six months after
delivery before surgery. You’ll also need to have stopped breast-feeding so
your doctor can get an idea of the true size and position of your breasts.
Can I have children after Mommy Makeover Surgery?
If you are
done having children, it is safe to go ahead with a Mommy Makeover. Additional pregnancies will probably reverse the results of any
surgery you might have.
Are your kids old enough to be cared for by someone else for two weeks while you
recover from your mommy makeover?
Making
lunches, doing laundry and carrying around a toddler could impact your
recovery, the results of the surgery — and your overall health.
Will you be able to take at least two weeks off for your mommy
makeover?
Your body
needs time to heal and recuperate, before you set on to your daily schedule.
What do you expect from your mommy makeover surgery?
It will
make your body look better, and it will definitely give you more
self-confidence.
