COSMETIC SURGERY: MOMMY MAKEOVER

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 (VASER^R) or Mechinical Assisted (Micoair^R) ; 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.
