New mothers often look for confidence restoration and a ways to feel more comfortable in their bodies after pregnancy, as childbirth and breast feeding are life-changing experiences, and can also cause changes in a woman’s body that can have a lasting impact. Many people experience wrinkled skin, loss of breast size, tight muscles and hard-to-lose fat, which may not improve sufficiently with loose muscles. This is why many women are now opting for a mommy makeover to get back to their pre-pregnancy contours and confidence.

Benefits of a Mommy Makeover

A mommy makeover is not simply a cosmetic surgery, it’s actually a customized method to solving a range of post-pregnancy issues within one treatment regime. Women who undergo a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast enhancement can enjoy body contouring results that are more likely to be achieved through surgery and not diet and exercise.

• Regenerates the body contours before pregnancy

  Massages to enhance areas usually affected by pregnancy such as the abdomen, waist, and breasts to achieve a balanced and proportioned look.

• Has several problems and solves them all

  Patients do not have to go through multiple surgeries, but can opt for multiple procedures to be performed at once, resulting in fewer recovery periods.

• Strengthens and refines abdominal contour and tone

  During a tummy tuck, excess skin and weak abdominal muscles are eliminated to produce a flatter and stronger belly.

• Enhances Breast Appearance

  Breast lift, augmentation or reduction surgery may be able to restore breast shape, volume and position after pregnancy and breastfeeding.

• Enhances self-image and self-confidence

  A lot of women feel they are more confident in wearing clothes and are more comfortable in their appearance after recovery.

• Customised to Individual Goals

  All mommy makeovers are custom-designed to each patient’s specific anatomy, concerns, and results, which means that each patient is treated individually.

• Recover only once

  The patient benefits greatly as they only need to undergo one healing process instead of several separate ones to recover from multiple surgeries.

• One Hospital Visit

  When procedures are combined in one surgical sitting, there is often only one hospital admission, reducing the inconvenience and logistical challenges.

• Lower Total Cost of Surgery

  In many cases, a combined procedure costs less overall for hospitalisation, anaesthesia and facility fees, than having several surgeries performed separately.

• Less Days Away From Work

  Usually, recovering from all procedures at once reduces the total time away from work, family, and daily activities.

• Single Session Anaesthesia

  Many problems can be dealt with in one anaesthetic session, so that the patient does not have to undergo this on several occasions at different operations.

• Treating multiple areas at once

  Simultaneous treatment of the abdomen, breasts, waist and other areas of concern can result in more balanced body contouring results.

• Better body proportions

  A mommy makeover improves the proportion between different areas of the body giving a more harmonious and natural looking silhouette.

• Increase in Confidence and Self-Image

  Many women say they feel more comfortable in their clothes and get their confidence back after tackling longstanding post-pregnancy concerns.

• Individualised Treatment Plan

  Every mommy makeover is customised based on the patient’s personal goals so that the procedures selected are appropriate for the patient’s unique concerns.

• Long Term Results

  If you are living a healthy lifestyle and your weight is stable, the results of a mommy makeover can enhance your body contour and shape for the long term.
