Why Does Your Body Change?
Every woman’s body is different; they come in all shapes and sizes. Loose skin, weak muscles, a protruding belly, sagging skin, and deflated breasts are all common after-effects of pregnancy. This is because your body has worked so hard the past nine months to make sure you and your baby were healthy. Now that your child is here, you may begin to see that your body is changing once again.
Some women experience changes that no amount of diet and exercise can repair. Really, every part of a woman’s body changes during pregnancy. This is because those same pregnancy hormones that allow ligaments to relax and the body to stretch in the way it does to accommodate a growing baby work all over the body.
Your Mommy Makeover Options
When diet and exercise don’t provide results, many women turn to plastic surgery to help them get their pre-baby body back. Mommy Makeover surgery combines several procedures to help you regain your pre-pregnancy shape.
Breast Lift
Pregnancy and breastfeeding typically cause your breasts to develop loose and sagging skin, which can make them appear droopy, making you feel embarrassed or self-conscious. Breast lift surgery can restore the breasts to a more youthful position by removing excess skin and tightening the remaining breast tissue to create a firmer and more attractive bust.
Breast Augmentation
Our breasts can begin to lose fullness and shape following pregnancy. Breast augmentation can restore the breasts to their natural, voluptuous state and improve your overall figure using saline or silicone breast implants. This procedure can also be performed alongside breast lift surgery to eliminate any excess skin and provide you with a more youthful bust.
Tummy Tuck Surgery
Tummy tuck surgery can correct weak abdominal muscles and a protruding stomach that may have developed due to pregnancy. This procedure can also address the midsection and waistline by tightening the muscles and removing excess skin for a more slim and toned appearance.
Liposuction
Weight gain is another common side effect that many women experience after pregnancy. Unwanted fat can begin to develop in several areas of the body that can be hard to get rid of even with diet and exercise. Liposuction can be performed alone or together with tummy tuck surgery to remove excess fat from areas such as the:
- Abdomen
- Arms
- Buttocks
- Back
- Hips
- Neck
- Thighs
