A Mommy Makeover at any Age

A wonderful rejuvenating procedure is to help moms look as good as they feel. And this medical procedure performed by a board certified plastic surgeon is called a mommy makeover. It is a surgery that many women have welcomed into their lives when diet, exercise, and eating healthy are not making the impact they hoped for.

A mommy makeover can help redefine a woman’s silhouette by enhancing the abdominal and breast regions through the following procedures:
  • Tummy Tuck
  • Breast Lift
  • Breast Lift with augmentation
A woman may decide to undergo a mommy makeover in their thirties, while others may feel that their forties is the best time to do it. And in other cases, a woman may decide to undergo her San Diego tummy tuck and breast lift in their fifties. Every patient differs in their aesthetic needs and when they are ready to personally reinvest in themselves.

Many patients agree that the surgery gives them a renewed sense of self-confidence.

While some women may be immune to abdominal separation caused by pregnancy, it’s estimated that nearly two-thirds of women have diastasis recti. In other words, a mother’s stomach extends more than it did prior to pregnancy due to muscles separating from the abdominal wall.

Many women refer to this post pregnancy condition as a “pooch” that won’t go away.  The pressure the abdomen endures by carrying a baby is quite significant. And if a woman is carrying twins, the likelihood of diastasis recti increases. This also escalates when a woman becomes pregnant at 35 years of age or older.
A tummy tuck San Diego can help resolve the following:
  • Redundant skin
  • Stubborn fat deposits
  • Correct diastasis recti
Many plastic surgeons also utilize liposuction for more body contouring enhancements. A tummy tuck can slim the waistline, shape the hips, and create a flatter and tighter abdomen.

When a woman bears children, some decide to opt for breast feeding. After this special time with one’s babies, a woman may begin to notice that she has lost the youthful volume that she once had. Another thing she may notice is excessive skin.

For those who want to rejuvenate their breasts, a surgical solution is to undergo a breast lift.  A breast lift can remove this redundant skin, and if necessary, relocate the areolas for total aesthetics. In some instances, an areola reduction may also be a consideration if they have been stretched.

While some women may like implants after their breast lift to have more volume, other patients fare quite well without them. Each patient is different with their breast surgery and a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon will reveal what is most optimal. 

If breast implants are ultimately decided, do reflect on what size is best for one’s lifestyle. If a mother has an active lifestyle with her family or is an outdoor enthusiast, then they may opt to have smaller implants. Breast surgery is a very personal decision – so take the time to make the very best decision.
