Mommy Makeover 

Giving birth is a most fulfilling experience for a woman, but it does take a toll on her physical appearance. Pregnancy can cause development of fat pockets in certain areas, loss of skin elasticity, and uneven body contours. During breastfeeding, your breasts may increase in size, and eventually sag when the lactation ends.  

Pregnancy also causes changes in the abdominal region. Your abdominal muscles may sag, skin may stretch, and in some cases, the lower body may also lose its sharp, youthful contours. These conditions can be effectively reversed with a mommy makeover cosmetic surgery, which will restore your pre-pregnancy figure.  

At the time of your initial consultation, the surgeon will determine whether you are a fit candidate for a mommy makeover. plastic surgeon Dr. David Kim provides mommy makeover surgery to patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA and surrounding locations. 

Your Body Fat is Resistant to Diet and Exercise 

After your pregnancy, if you have been struggling to get rid of excess fatty tissue deposits in certain areas of the body, or have loose skin and distended breasts, you may want to consider a mommy makeover plastic surgery. It may be difficult to eliminate loose skin and stretch marks through diet or exercise. If the fat bulges are stubborn and resistant to natural fat loss efforts, you may be a candidate for a mommy makeover.  

You are not Planning another Pregnancy 

Although you can have children after your mommy makeover cosmetic surgery, but it will compromise the aesthetic effects you have achieved through your surgery. Therefore, an ideal candidate for this procedure would be someone who has no plans for another pregnancy in the foreseeable future. You should also not have any plans to undergo a major weight loss surgery after a mommy makeover as that will again leave you with loose skin.  

Normal or C-Section Delivery  

You can be a candidate for a mommy makeover, no matter whether you had a normal delivery or through a C-section. The C-section delivery may leave some scarring around your abdomen, which can be improved with a mommy makeover. If you have had hernia after childbirth (particularly if you had twins or triplets) it can also be resolved with a mommy makeover surgery. 

At least Six Months have Passed after Childbirth 

Childbirth is a major physical event for your body, and you need time to nurse your baby and allow your body to recover naturally. It may be ideal to wait for about six months before you consider a mommy makeover surgery. During this period, your breasts, abdomen, and other body areas will settle into their natural shape. This will allow you to discuss a more appropriate and comprehensive mommy makeover plan with your surgeon. 

Other Pre-requisites  

You should be in good general health, and not have any underlying medical conditions that could interfere with your surgery or recovery. You should be committed to avoid smoking for a few weeks before and after the surgery as per your surgeon’s instructions.  

Candidates with realistic expectations will achieve the best satisfaction levels after their mommy makeover surgery. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. David Kim receives patients from Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA, and nearby areas for mommy makeover surgery.

There’s no doubt that being a mom is a rewarding experience. But all too often, we forget the toll that pregnancy and childbirth can take on woman’s body. Hips become wider while skin and muscles in the abdomen stretch out. After giving birth, post-partum bodies can continue to change, especially if a woman decides to breastfeed. Combined with shifting priorities, physical changes to a woman’s figure can easily take a toll on their self-confidence. 

To help support a woman’s ongoing efforts to achieve their pre-baby body, certain cosmetic treatment plans like a mommy makeover are designed to help women restore their figures and self-confidence.  Here’s how:

Targets the Impacts of Pregnancy

As no two pregnancies are exactly alike, mommy makeovers are highly customized to help target the areas affected by each woman’s pregnancy. For some, this can mean their mommy makeover is a combination of abdominoplasty and breast lift. For others, the perfect mommy makeover includes tummy tuck plus non-invasive facial treatments. At Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery, our goal in crafting highly personalized surgical strategies is to ensure that the results comprehensively address each woman’s concerns. 

Enhance Current Efforts 

For countless post-partum women, diet and exercise are important first steps in restoring pre-baby bodies. While these efforts can certainly make a difference, they may not be enough to fully address all of changes caused by childbirth. Mommy makeover procedures like liposuction and abdominoplasty can help women achieve their desired goals faster as well as accentuate their hard work in the gym.   

Feel Comfortable in All Clothes 

For many women, mommy makeover isn’t just about restoring their pre-baby figure – it’s also about being able to feel comfortable in your body regardless of what you’re wearing. Depending on the degree of skin or muscles stretching, mommy makeover strategies can be developed to include different body contouring procedures that ensure clothes fit just as well if not better than before. 

Feel Sexy Again

Self-confidence plays a large role in any person’s ability to feel sexy and attractive. For post-partum women struggling to feel comfortable in their new bodies, feeling attractive can seem even more unattainable. Mommy makeovers are designed to target unwanted sagging or stretched skin, help women achieve their pre-baby bodies and pre-baby levels of self-confidence. 

Invest in Yourself

Being a mom is a full-time job, starting before your baby is even born For many women, life after children takes on a new focus where hours spent at the gym are now spent at Mommy and Me classes or shuttling kids off to extracurricular activities. In that time, it can become easy for women to lose their identity as someone beyond a mother. For some women, investing in a mommy makeover is viewed as the first step toward redefining themselves and regaining their sense of self. The resulting decision can be a serious confidence booster that leads to more choices that benefit not only the individual, but their entire family.
