Mommy Makeover

What is a Mommy Makeover?

The term mommy makeover is relatively new, but it is a combination of long successful cosmetic procedures that can help you restore pre-pregnancy appearance. The procedure typically focuses on the breasts and abdomen and might include lift or reduction of the arms, and legs.

Is Mommy Makeover Right for Me?

You can consider a mommy makeover if:

  1. The shape and size of your breasts are negatively affected. This includes sagging breasts, decreased breast volume, drooping nipples, breasts that have become largely out of proportion and uneven breasts
  2. You are worried about the appearance of sagging skin and ugly stretch marks on your tummy and waistline
  3. There are annoying pockets of fats on your thighs, abdomen and thighs that do not improve with diet or exercise
  4. You had a painful c-section and now there is lots of fat hanging over the surgical scar
  5. Your bust and tummy shows signs of aging

Perhaps the best thing about a mommy makeover is that the combination of procedures will help you return to a more youthful body appearance.

How is a Mommy Makeover Procedure Performed?

As stated earlier, mommy makeover is a descriptive term. During your initial consultation, you will be asked questions about the kind of results you expect. The following are the common procedures performed during a mommy makeover.

Tummy Tuck:

Sagging skin of the abdomen and stretching abdominal muscles are corrected during this procedure. The skin around the belly button is tightened and repositioned. Incision made during the procedure is then closed with sutures. Usually incision made remains hidden within the natural crease of the bikini line.

Remember that tummy tuck can remove excess skin and fat in the abdominal area but it does not affect your hips.

Liposuction

During a mommy makeover, you can opt for a liposuction to remove excessive fat from your hips, thighs and waist. The liposuction procedure is also effective in removing excess fat in upper arms, knees, thighs and neck. Consider laser liposuction with its tightening effect to skin if your sagging deformity is not severe so you can benefit with no scar surgery to have a firm and tightened shape.

Breast Augmentation and Breast Lift

Pregnancy and childbirth negatively affects the size and shape of your breasts. A breast lift can address issues such as decreased breast volume and drooping nipples. If you desire more rounded breasts, you can consider a breast reduction or breast augmentation done.

Because breasts usually swell to a fuller size during pregnancy, it can cause poor posture and pain in some women. Breast reduction is an effective procedure that removes fat and tightens skin to produce smaller and more proportionate breasts.

Breast augmentation utilizes silicone gel implants to increase or restore the desired breast size.

Usually procedures in a mommy makeover involve a combination of local anesthesia and IV sedation. The size of incisions made during the procedure will vary depending on the amount of excess fat and skin that is to be removed. Every effort will be made by Dr. Turker Ozyigit to make the scar as small and as hidden as possible.
