Giving birth is a beautiful and fascinating part of life. However, it can also bring about some unwanted changes in your body.
You may notice loose, sagging skin on various parts of your body, especially the abdomen, and stubborn fatty folds that are difficult to get rid of. Your breasts may start to lose volume and change shape.
If you are dissatisfied with your body image after childbirth, breastfeeding and aging, it may be time to consider post-operative aesthetics called "mommy makeover".
Postpartum aesthetics is a combination of various plastic surgery procedures and is widely preferred by women who feel that they have lost their old bodies and youth.
This procedure allows mothers to restore the appearance of their bodies to feel better about themselves and their bodies.
Postpartum plastic surgery is not a single procedure that only works on one part of the body; rather, it is a combination of several procedures that help to harmoniously enhance various parts of the body.
This surgery gives mothers the opportunity to regain their pre-pregnancy body through a single well-thought-out and carefully planned procedure.
By working carefully with a specialized, experienced and ministry-certified plastic surgeon, you can develop a plan and decide on the group of procedures that will suit you best.
Postpartum plastic surgery can be performed by combining the following procedures:
Breast Augmentation: In this procedure, breast prostheses, fat or a combination of prostheses and fat are used to change breast size and shape.
Liposuction: Removes excess fatty tissue under the skin. This procedure usually targets one or more of the following areas: abdomen, back, thighs, buttocks and arms.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Corrects drooping and sagging breasts by repositioning the breast contour, making the breast appropriate to enhance your youthful and vibrant appearance.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Creates a stronger abdomen by eliminating excess skin tissue and fatty tissue while stretching the abdominal muscles. Each procedure in postpartum plastic surgery can correct a certain change caused by pregnancy. After discussing your needs at your initial consultation, a customized plan will be developed to meet your specific goals.
Postpartum aesthetics is an excellent way to rejuvenate your body and regain the strong and youthful pre-pregnancy body structure. You may be a good candidate if you have the following conditions:
