Mommy Makeover

Gone are the days when pregnancy and breastfeeding were considered the beginning of a downhill journey for the woman’s body, especially the breasts and abdomen, which bear the maximum brunt during this time. Plastic surgery has made the sky the limit, and Mommy Makeover might just be what you need. This procedure has gained immense popularity in recent years. Do you have apprehensions about putting yourself under the knife? Dr. Nilay Shah having years of experience performing this procedure, is here to dispel them for you.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

Mommy Makeover is one of the modern day’s most sought after and popular plastic surgery techniques, which is tailor-made for women who have gone through pregnancy and breastfeeding. The beating that a woman’s body takes after motherhood is a common issue, and this surgery is specifically designed to address that.

The surgery involves a combination of specialized procedures that include body contouring and others performed in tandem to revert the physical alterations that visibly take over a woman’s body and stay on long after pregnancy.

Why is Mommy Makeover so popular?

Apart from being a universal solution to a common concern that most women face after pregnancy, this procedure is not limited to a specific number of set components. In fact, it can be made to order and designed to suit individual needs, keeping in mind the uniqueness of each case. However, the surgical procedure most commonly commences with a breast and abdomen contouring procedure and slowly adds additional elements as per individual requirements.

Some common questions and apprehensions surrounding Mommy Makeovers

  • Does it involve an extended hospital stay?

The mommy makeover procedure is usually performed as an outpatient surgery which entails that you get to recuperate in the comfort of your home. However, your doctor might want to keep you under observation for a period of 24 hours and so may recommend an overnight stay.

  • Is the recovery time long drawn and painful?

Recovery time is usually anything between one and two weeks. This, however, is also dependent on several factors, such as the specifications involved in your procedure of mommy makeover. That said, it is better if you set aside a couple of weeks for recovery as you are likely to be bruised, swollen and sore during the time—nothing major, though.

  • Will I be able to do routine chores after the surgery?

It is advisable to enlist help from a friend or family member for a few days as the tenderness and fatigue may make routine chores difficult. However, after proper rest and recovery, you will be able to get back to life as usual.

  • Will I be able to drive?

You will be prescribed some pain medication by your physician after the surgery, as this will help give you a comfortable recovery. However, it is not advisable to get behind the wheels for the duration of these medications. 

  • Will I not be able to carry my baby after the surgery?

You will most certainly be not kept away from your baby simply because you want to get rid of the effects pregnancy and breastfeeding have had on your body. All you need to take care of is to give yourself a comfortable and adequate recovery. So, for six weeks, you should refrain from engaging in vigorous exercises and heavy weight lifting.

  • Do I need to include a vigorous workout routine to maintain my mommy makeover?

There is nothing of the books that you need to follow. You will just need to work out in a gym like any regular healthy mommy. Maintain a healthy lifestyle, follow a balanced diet and include a routine exercise schedule for a long-lasting effect.

  • How do I know I am in the right hands?

Make sure your plastic surgeon is reputed and experienced. The surgery involves some invasive techniques, so choose wisely and go for the best and most experienced plastic surgeon available.
