Once you have children, they become your life. But the toll they take on your body is significant. Stretched and distorted breasts, a bulging stomach, saddlebags, larger hips, and thicker thighs are all after-effects of bearing children. At Park Avenue Plastic Surgery, we design a mommy makeover surgery in Orlando to help restore your pre-pregnancy body contours.
Understanding Post-Pregnancy Surgery
Post-pregnancy surgery should not be done until you have allowed time for your body to recover from childbirth fully. It is amazing what time, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle can do to improve your body. However, changes like deflated-appearing breasts or the dreaded shelf that appears after a C-section cannot be fixed by diet or exercise. Plastic surgery after pregnancy gives mothers a way to reclaim their bodies, and this can be very rewarding.
Common Procedures in a Mommy Makeover
A mommy makeover is not a single, fixed procedure. It is a personalized combination of body contouring treatments specifically tailored to address your unique goals. Dr. Joseph will work with you to determine the best approach for your unique anatomy.
Some of these cosmetic procedures include:
- Breast augmentation
- Body sculpting
- Abdominoplasty
- Liposuction
- Thigh lift
- Breast Lift, with or without Breast Implants
These procedures are on the rise. Last year, women accounted for more than 80% of cosmetic and plastic surgery patients. Experts believe the increase in mommy makeovers is due to more women having children later in life, after they have completed their education and are established in their professional careers.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Ideal candidates for a mommy makeover are individuals seeking to address the physical effects of pregnancy. You may be a good candidate if you:
- Are in good general health and are a non-smoker
- Have completed childbearing, as future pregnancies can affect results
- Are at or near a stable, healthy body weight
- Have realistic expectations about what the surgery can achieve
- Are concerned with loose skin, abdominal separation, or changes in their breasts
The Mommy Makeover Procedure
Your mommy makeover is performed under general anesthesia for your comfort and safety. Dr. Brian Joseph will then begin the procedures outlined in your personalized surgical plan. He follows a precise approach, whether performing a tummy tuck and breast lift in Winter Park or combining liposuction with a breast augmentation.
The specific techniques will vary, from repairing abdominal muscles to placing breast implants or removing excess skin. Dr. Joseph prioritizes your well-being, which is why he determines in advance whether it is safer to perform all procedures in a single session or to stage them over multiple sessions.
Recovery and Results
Immediately after your procedure, you will be monitored by our team before you are cleared to go home. You must have a trusted adult drive you and assist you for at least the first 24 hours.
You will need to wear special compression garments over your abdomen and breasts. These are essential for managing swelling and supporting your new body contours as they heal. Patients typically require one to two weeks of rest and downtime before returning to work. Strenuous activities and heavy lifting are restricted for at least four to six weeks.
You will have several follow-up appointments with Dr. Joseph. These are vital for monitoring your healing progress, removing any sutures or drains, and getting clearance to resume your normal activities.
How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost?
The cost of a mommy makeover varies because it is a highly individualized surgery tailored for each patient. The overall price may include anesthesia, operating room facilities, new breast implants, and other related expenses. Additional tests and imaging may also be required, which could increase your total cost.
