What weight should I be to get a mommy makeover?

Before a mommy makeover, the body should have stabilized post-pregnancy and breastfeeding should have ceased. It is important to stabilize your hormones, as well as your body’s shape and weight. Most women should allow at least 6-12 months before considering a mommy makeover.

Generally, mommy makeovers and other cosmetic surgeries are performed at BMIs below 30. If your BMI exceeds 30, speak to Dr. Jane Weston about your options. You should be within 10-20 pounds of your ideal weight when it comes to your overall body weight. In addition to ensuring fewer side effects and complications, this ensures the most efficient surgical plan and ensures the best results.

The results of mommy makeover procedures could be adversely affected by continuing to lose significant amounts of weight afterward. If you lose a lot of weight after surgery, the skin that was tighter could become lax again.

How much does a mommy makeover cost?

Given that multiple procedures may be performed as part of a mommy makeover the cost fluctuates. Dr. Jane Weston and staff will help you determine how many procedures are required and find cost-efficient solutions accordingly.

What all consists of a mommy makeover?

Today, mommy makeovers are one of the most popular types of plastic surgery, designed specifically for women who have undergone pregnancy and breastfeeding.

As a catch-all phrase, “mommy makeover” refers to a combination of body contouring procedures performed together after pregnancy to improve physical changes. Its popularity stems from the fact that there are no set components of the mommy makeover; each procedure is custom-tailored to meet the needs of each patient. Surgery usually begins with breast and abdomen contouring, then adds additional elements as needed.

What to expect during mommy makeover recovery?

Your mommy makeover will be customized based on your needs during your consultation. Some women only need one or two of the procedures that make up a mommy makeover; others may need all of them. Only a board-certified plastic surgeon can determine how many procedures you need. Various procedures are available.

After giving birth, most women, especially those in their 30s or 40s, need a breast lift. This is due to the breasts expanding and contracting so dramatically during milk production. Once a woman has finished breastfeeding, it is common for her cup size to drop back down again. Many women end up with flatter, saggy breasts because their skin stretches to accommodate all of this milk.

To remove stubborn fat deposits, liposuction (the removal of fat via a tube instrument) is sometimes administered prior to tummy tuck surgery. In order to get rid of large love handles, for example, you may need liposuction. It is also possible to eliminate fat deposits in other parts of the body using liposuction, not just in the abdomen. During pregnancy, some women develop extra fat on their hips and thighs, which can be removed by liposuction.

When you undergo a tummy tuck surgery, your plastic surgeon will make a long incision along your bikini line, allowing him or her to tighten your skin and muscles. In some cases, a second incision will be made near your belly button if upper abdominal tightening is also needed. You will have your loose skin removed and any muscle damage repaired in either case.

During childbirth, the labia minora (the delicate, hairless skin of the inner labia) can stretch substantially. As a result, flaps of the labia minora can protrude beyond the protective labia majora. For many women, this is not only embarrassing but also uncomfortable. As the labia minora is so sensitive, it is prone to chafing, making exercise and sexual activity difficult for the woman. This problem can be corrected with a labiaplasty. An expert plastic surgeon carefully removes excess skin from the labia minora, then stitches it back up. The labia majora will once again protect the woman’s labia once she has healed.
