Fall is a Great Time for a Mommy Makeover

mommy makeover, Lubbock

 

Fall seems to have a routine with school starting, vacations over, and yard work winding down. Routine can also seem dull when the clouds move in. Now would be a good time to consider having a mommy makeover. A mommy makeover is a casual way to refer to a combination of plastic surgery procedures aimed to change the effects that age and childbirth have on a woman’s body. With all of the summer activities calming down and cooler weather moves in, a woman can consider taking some time to do something for herself.

 

Procedure Combinations

The more procedures added to your mommy makeover plan will add more dramatic changes to your body. Also, consider that with each added procedure you will want to add extra recovery time. Several plastic surgery options are available to fit your personal cosmetic goals.

  • Breast lift
  • Breast Reduction or Augmentation
  • Liposuction
  • Tummy Tuck

Consult with your board certified Lubbock plastic surgeon to make the best surgical plan for your individual expectation.

 

Expected Recovery Time

How you handle pain and how your body heals is an individual experience. The average recovery time for a mommy makeover is three to four weeks. You will need to have help with family responsibilities and household jobs while you recover from your surgery. The longer you can give your body to recover, the better your healing will go.

 

The New You

When you are finished having children and want to give some attention to your personal appearance, a mommy makeover can help with saggy breasts, hanging abdominal skin, stretch marks, and stubborn fat handles on your hips that exercise and diet seem to do nothing for. A mommy makeover in the fall will have you ready for the holidays, feeling and looking your best.
With any plastic surgery procedure, it is so important to consult with your doctor and discuss your expectations, learn as much as you can about what will happen during and after the surgery, and have a post-surgery plan figured out. Dr. Jane Rowley is the leading plastic surgeon in Lubbock, TX who carefully listens to her patients and creates individual plans based on each patient’s unique goals.

What can a Mommy Makeover do for Your Breasts?

If you are past your childbearing years and find yourself avoiding mirrors or feeling completely dissatisfied with your body, a “Mommy Makeover” may be right for you. A “Mommy Makeover” is a term used to describe the surgical work to correct the common physical changes that can occur during and following a pregnancy. Most often this includes procedures for your breasts and abdomen to lift, tighten and tuck where needed.

 

Specifically, when it comes to your breasts, a Mommy Makeover here in Lubbock can help you with these:

 

  1. Breast Lift

After nursing for months to years, breasts can lose their volume and can be deflated looking. A Mommy Makeover with a breast lift can remove excess skin, shift the location of your nipple, and reduce the size of your areola. The breasts can be “lifted” to better shape and position.

 

  1. Breast Implants

If you have a significant reduction in breast volume, an implant may be your option to increase your breast size. Implants can be paired with a breast lift.

 

  1. Breast Reduction

Some women find that as a result of pregnancy hormones and nursing that their breasts have increased in size, often resulting in discomfort. Your Mommy Makeover may include a breast reduction to return to a more comfortable size and shape. A reduction can also be done in tandem with a breast lift.

 

If you are ready to come into our office in Lubbock to plan your Mommy Makeover, here are a few things to remember:

 

  • You will achieve the best and longest-lasting results if you are past your childbearing years.
  • If your Mommy Makeover also includes working on your abdomen, the surgeries on your breasts and abdomen can be completed in one or two appointments. Consult with your doctor on the approach that is best for you.
  • Smokers should avoid nicotine for at least six weeks before and post surgery for the best healing.

Mommy Makeovers: Breast and Belly Enhancement

A popular plastic surgery procedure in Lubbock is sometimes called a Mommy Makeover. The name can be deceiving as a Mommy Makeover is not just one procedure but an individualized combination of plastic surgery options. The goal of the surgery is to change the effects of childbirth on a woman’s body. After pregnancy and nursing, stomach muscles weaken and abdominal skin sags or loosens. Breasts are deflated and droopy. Often a woman’s body can have stubborn pockets of fat that are unresponsive to diet and exercise. Childbirth is an exciting and emotionally fulfilling life event, and now with proven surgical techniques, a post-childbirth body can regain the firm, youthful look it once had.

 

A few procedures that work well together to improve the appearance of both belly and breasts are:

 

  • Breast Augmentation— helps breasts that have lost volume and enhances fullness with breast implants.
  • Breast Lift— works well with breast augmentation, reduction, or on its own, reshaping sagging breasts and enhancing contour.
  • Breast Reduction— benefits women who feel they have too much breast tissue. A reduction will give better symmetry and shape, and relieve discomfort caused by larger breasts.
  • Liposuction— targets stubborn pockets of fat to enhance your body’s contour.
  • Tummy Tuck— takes care of stretched and hanging skin. Be sure you discuss with your doctor concerns about past scars and stretch marks.

 

It’s important to communicate clearly with your doctor your cosmetic expectations and to consult on which procedures are best for your body type. If you are thinking about a Mommy Makeover, make sure you are in good health, are at a stable weight, and have realistic expectations of your surgical results. We can’t completely stop the effects of aging or life changes on our bodies, but with a Mommy Makeover, Lubbock women can turn back the clock a few years.
