It is a woman’s desire to be a mother. However, along with the joys of motherhood comes the anguish of putting up with physiological changes in the body, which make you feel and look old. Sagging and loss of breast volume, stretch marks, bulging tummy, overhanging paunch, deposition of fat around the waist, hips and thighs and Caesarean scars are only a few of the issues one needs to deal with after child birth.
These problem areas are enough to make you lose your confidence in yourself and despair over your physical appearance. However, with the Mommy Makeover, one need not despair anymore. The Mommy Makeover employs cosmetic surgical techniques that have been perfected to give you your pre-pregnancy body back.
This latest technology of body transforming surgeries has been introduced to help women who have lost their self confidence and get back into shape. Mommy Makeovers include procedures such as tummy tucks, breast aesthetic improvement and liposuction for a slimmer, fitter body post pregnancy. Other treatments often combined with the Mommy Makeover include skin tighteners, cellulite treatments and stretch mark elimination.
These procedures help women regain their physical appearance, but also boost their self confidence. This group of cosmetic surgeries commonly known as the Mommy Makeover, is gaining popularity in the country owing to greater awareness, easy accessibility and affordability.
I conduct about seven to 10 such makeovers every month. Women find it difficult to lose the excess weight they gain during pregnancy despite following a strict diet and a rigorous exercise regime. Mommy Makeovers address a woman’s post-pregnancy body issues in a single-session surgery or planned staged manner. These procedures generally take a few hours to be completed and do not involve complicated post operative care.
