Mommy Makeover Palm Desert

A mommy makeover, also known as post-pregnancy cosmetic surgery, is any combination of cosmetic procedures that attempt to restore your before-pregnancy physical appearance, typically focusing on the breasts and abdomen. A typical mommy makeover might include a tummy tuck, a breast procedure such as breast augmentation (breast implants), breast lift or breast reduction and sometimes even liposuction of the legs, thighs or trunk. If aging changes of the face also start to become apparent, mini-versions of basic facial cosmetic procedures are occasionally added. The descriptive term “mommy makeover” may be somewhat new, but the combination of procedures within a “mommy makeover” all have long, successful, and safe track records. The specific procedures within a “mommy makeover” vary with the client’s anatomy and particular problems areas that the mommy actually complains about. The term “mommy makeover” is really a general descriptive term for cosmetic plastic surgery to combat the effects of pregnancy and weight fluctuation on the female body (and sometimes face). It usually involves two or more cosmetic plastic surgery procedures performed simultaneously.

WHEN TO CONSIDER A MOMMY MAKEOVER

• If your pregnancy has negatively affected the size and shape of your breasts
• If you’re distressed about your sagging tummy and stretch marks of your abdomen
• If pockets of fat on your waist, abdomen, arms, thighs or under your chin do not improve with diet and exercise
• If you start to notice some early aging changes of your eyelids or neck area

BEFORE PREGNANCY      DURING PREGNANCY    AFTER PREGNANCY

Before pregnancy, the abdominal muscles are close to one another in the vertical midline of the abdomen. The nipple/areolas are in a high “normal” proper position. If patients are in the normal weight range, the abdomen is also usually flat. During pregnancy, the abdominal muscles stretch and separate to accommodate the growing baby. The breasts become larger (hypertrophy) and the nipple/areolas may also enlarge and darken. After pregnancy, loose stretched skin of the abdomen may sag, the permanently separated abdominal muscles form a lower abdominal pooch (protuberance) that is notoriously resistant to both diet and exercise (diastasis recti), permanent stretch marks may form and the breasts may sag, shrink and deflate (post- partum breast atrophy). Multiple pregnancies tend to worsen and magnify all these post-pregnancy effects.
