Mommy Makeover in Athens
Having children is a wonderful experience, but it can often leave your body looking much different than it did before pregnancy. And because you devote so much of your time and your self to your children, it can be easy to lose sight of who you are and your own well-being. The Mommy Makeover is designed to target those areas most affected by childbirth and give you back that self- confidence you had before having children.
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a combination of surgical procedures designed to address the physical changes that pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can bring. Rather than scheduling separate surgeries, you can address multiple concerns in a single operation and recover just once. It is one of the most popular options for post-pregnancy body contouring.
The procedures included in your plan depend on your personal goals and anatomy. Common options at Parker Plastic Surgery include:
The most common procedures involved in the Mommy Makeover are:
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck removes excess, loose skin and tightens weakened abdominal muscles that have stretched during pregnancy. It creates a flatter, firmer midsection that diet and exercise alone often cannot achieve after having children.
Breast Lift
A breast lift repositions and reshapes breasts that have lost firmness or shifted position after pregnancy and breastfeeding. It restores a more youthful breast contour without necessarily adding size or volume.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation uses silicone or saline implants to restore volume lost during and after breastfeeding. Many patients choose to combine it with a breast lift for a more complete tummy tuck and breast lift resulting in one surgery.
Liposuction
Liposuction targets and removes stubborn fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, flanks, hips, or thighs that resist diet and exercise. It helps refine and balance your silhouette, making it a key part of full-body rejuvenation after pregnancy.
Each customized mommy makeover plan provided to our patients in Watkinsville and Athens, GA, is shaped around your anatomy, concerns, and goals.
Benefits of a Mommy Makeover
You usually undergo three or more surgical procedures, depending on your goals. Here is what it typically includes:
When you have these procedures performed together, it limits the hassles of scheduling and recovering. It can save you money and headaches from insurance and billing. Depending on your specific needs and other factors, you might choose to get each treatment separately. The only problem with that is you will have to book different appointments, be administered with anesthesia multiple times, and have additional surgical recoveries.
The usual recovery time for a Mommy Makeover is around four to six weeks. But, if you have all the procedures separately, your recovery time might extend for several months. With a Mommy Makeover, you only have to recover once.
If you maintain a healthy lifestyle, you can experience long-lasting results. Once your body has healed completely, you can enhance and maintain your results by eating a healthy diet, following the postoperative instructions given by the doctor, and exercising regularly.
How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost?
The cost of this procedure will be determined by several factors, like the number of procedures being performed and the type of procedures. During your consultation, our team can go over the details of the procedure as well as the expected cost of your mommy makeover.
