Am I Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
Many new mothers wish to regain their pre-baby physique as soon as possible. However, most women are advised to wait at least six months after giving birth or weaning their baby before undergoing any type of plastic surgery, including a mommy makeover. Most women who opt for a Los Gatos mommy makeover are done having children and are in good overall health.
How is a Mommy Makeover Performed?
A mommy makeover in Los Gatos can involve various procedures and target several different problem areas. One of the most popular aspects of a mommy makeover is a tummy tuck, which removes excess abdominal skin caused when the body stretches to accommodate a pregnant belly. The tummy tuck can also include tightening of abdominal muscles that may have loosened or separated during the pregnancy.
Liposuction is another common part of a mommy makeover. Even with a diet and exercise routine, some new mothers have stubborn areas of fat that just won't disappear. Many others also want to regain their pre-pregnancy physique more quickly than they could with diet and exercise alone. Liposuction targets specific fat bulges on the body, such as on the abdomen, buttocks or arms. The fat cells are gently suctioned out, and the remaining fat is re-shaped for a natural appearance.
Because much of the weight gain associated with pregnancy occurs in the hips, buttocks and thighs, another popular element of the mommy makeover in Los Gatos is a thigh or buttock lift. This procedure will lift and tone these problem areas, restoring their pre-pregnancy appearance.
Breast procedures -- including breast lifts, augmentation or reduction -- can lift, reduce or add to the breast tissue. Many woman find that their breasts sag, have lost volume or have changed in size after pregnancy and breastfeeding. As part of a mommy makeover, these procedures can restore a youthful appearance to the breasts.
What Can I Expect After a Mommy Makeover?
The recovery period for our Los Gatos mommy makeovers depends significantly on the amount of work being done. In general, the more procedures performed at once, the longer the recuperation time. During the healing process, the treated areas may be swollen, bruised or sore.
What is the Cost of a Mommy Makeover in Los Gatos?
Los Gatos mommy makeover prices can vary widely based on the unique combination of procedures. Typically, the price of a mommy makeover is often thousands less than the cost for each procedure when done separately.
