Postpartum Plastic Surgery: A Post Pregnancy Procedure


Although motherhood can be one of the greatest gifts life has to offer, but c-section scars and other after effects of pregnancy can take a lasting toll on your body, especially your breasts and abdominal areas.

Following child bearing, you may be left with stretched, distorted breasts, bulging belly, ugly-looking stretch marks and weight gain in the hips, lower back, buttocks and thighs.

But don't despair. You can get rid of those unwanted abdominal stretch marks, breast sagginess, fat deposits, hanging skin and hair loss through postpartum plastic surgery.

About Postpartum Plastic Surgery
Postpartum plastic surgery, also called mommy makeover, mommy tuck or simply mom job, refers to the surgical rejuvenation of the post-baby body that becomes saggy after pregnancy.

While some new moms restore their bodies to what they enjoyed prior to their pregnancies with regular exercise, others continue to deal with the embarrassment and discomfort due to the postpartum effects on their body.

This is where postpartum plastic surgery or mommy makeover comes and works like a wonder.

This female body rejuvenation procedure utilizes multiple plastic surgery procedures to help you recontour and rejuvenate your physical appearance as well as attain a refreshed look and an improved self-esteem.

There is an array of cosmetic surgeries used to help you transform your body in pre-pregnancy form. These mommy makeover procedures include:

• Breast augmentation
• Breast lift (mastopexy) with or without implants
• Breast reduction
• Breast enlargement with a breast lift
• Liposuction on the legs, arms, stomach and lower back
• Butt lift
• Tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty)

You may only need one or a combination of a few for sculpting your body figure. These plastic surgery procedures can be customized based on your wishes and needs.

In order to enhance the aesthetic appearance of overall body, some women also undergo facial rejuvenation procedures. There is a wide range of procedures that can improve your facial appearance, from reshaping the nose, jaw and chin, to removing wrinkles, fat or loose skin.

In general, the facial rejuvenating plastic surgery procedures may include:

• Facelift Surgery
• Eyelid Surgery
• Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)
• Forehead Lift
• Ear Surgery
• Lip Augmentation

Some advanced and minimally invasive plastic procedures include Latisse, Radiesse injections, Dysport injections, Botox injections, Juvederm, as well as laser skin resurfacing techniques.

Although serious complications and death are infrequent with body contouring procedures, but, as with any surgery, a mommy makeover may lead to such complications like scars, bleeding, poor wound healing, infection and reactions to anesthesia. Also, post-surgery pain can be very severe, especially the first few days following the treatment.

The length of the recovery period varies depended on the amount and type of the surgery or surgeries performed.

Women suffering from lung problems, cardiovascular problems, diabetes, or any other medical issues are not good candidates for the postpartum plastic surgery.

Like many women, if you have stretch marks concentrated around your belly and lower abdomen and your abdomen and breasts have become saggy after breastfeeding, getting postpartum plastic surgery can help reverse these effects and restore and enhance your body.

Keep in mind, however, go for a mommy makeover only after you are done having children.
