Mommy Makeover in Houston, TX

WHAT ISA MOMMY MAKEOVER?

A Mommy Makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures that are performed together in order to help a woman regain her pre-pregnancy body. The most common procedures included in a Mommy Makeover are breast lift, breast augmentation, liposuction, and tummy tuck.

Many women choose to have a Mommy Makeover because they are not happy with their post-pregnancy body. They may feel self-conscious about their breasts, stomach, or hips. A Mommy Makeover can encourage a woman to feel more confident and comfortable in her own skin.

MOMMY MAKEOVEROVERVIEW

At the Clinic for Plastic Surgery in Houston mommy makeover surgery is a custom blend of cosmetic procedures that are designed to restore your pre pregnancy body. The procedure is completely customized based on the unique changes your body has experienced after giving birth.

Changes to the Body Due to Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Nursing

Pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing can take a toll on a woman's body. The breasts may lose their volume and shape, the stomach may become stretched out and loose, and the hips and thighs may accumulate excess fat. A Mommy Makeover can promote positive changes so you can get more of an appearance similar to what you had before children.

IS A MOMMY MAKEOVERRIGHT FOR YOU?

You could be an ideal candidate.

If you're a new mom and you want to rediscover the youthful, firm and toned body you had before you gave birth, the mommy makeover was designed with you in mind. To be considered an ideal candidate, it's important that you're finished having children, as subsequent pregnancies will impact your results.

In addition, your weight should be stable, and you should be without any health conditions that could complicate your surgery. In general, our Houston mommy makeover patients who experience the best results from their mommy makeovers have successfully lost much of their pregnancy weight, but are unable to address certain problem areas that are unresponsive to diet and exercise.

Some candidates for a Mommy Makeover may include women who have:

  • Sagging or deflated breasts
  • Stretched out or loose skin on the stomach
  • Excess fat on the hips and thighs
  • Stretch marks on the stomach, breasts, or hips
  • Diminished muscle tone in the stomach area

HOW MUCH DOESA MOMMY MAKEOVER COST?

A Mommy Makeover is a fantastic way for mothers to fall in love in their body all over again. Mommy Makeovers consist of multiple procedures tailored case by case. Though multiple procedures, due to it being combined, it becomes more cost effective for patients seeking several procedures.

THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE CHOOSING A MOMMY MAKEOVER

  • Are you wanting more children?
  • Is your weight stable?
  • Are you in good health?
  • Will you be able to take time to heal for 6 weeks?

AN OVERVIEW OF THE MOMMY MAKEOVER PROCEDURE

As mentioned earlier, your mommy makeover will be completely customized based on the specific problem areas you're having addressed. In this section, we will review a few of the most common surgeries our Houston mommy makeover patients have received as part of their procedures, to give you an idea of what is possible for your procedure.

TUMMY TUCK

The tummy tuck is one of the most popular mommy makeover procedures. It's performed to eliminate unwanted fat, tighten sagging skin and strengthen lax abdominal muscles. If your stomach is a problem area for you since giving birth, a tummy tuck with Dr. Sukkar will restore the toned, tight and more attractive midsection you desire.

BREAST LIFT / AUGMENTATION

It's common knowledge that breastfeeding is not kind to a woman's breasts. If you're faced with a drooping and deflated chest every time you look in the mirror, Dr. Sukkar may recommend performing a breast lift and/or breast augmentation as part of your mommy makeover. In this case, he'll expertly elevate your chest to a perkier position, while restoring natural and youthful volume that you've lost throughout the breastfeeding process.

ARM LIFT

Many of our Houston patients find that their arms are permanently soft and heavy after gaining weight during pregnancy. When this occurs, Dr. Sukkar may perform an arm lift to eliminate the excess volume, sculpting tight and toned arms that look incredible in sleeveless tops.

THIGH LIFT

Unsightly fat on the thighs can be incredibly resistant to diet and exercise alone. Fortunately, a thigh lift as part of your mommy makeover can eliminate the excess skin and fat, restoring the slender and sexy pre-pregnancy legs you've been longing to see.

The Mommy MakeoverProcedure

A Mommy Makeover is typically performed as a single surgery.

However, it may be necessary for some moms to stage the procedures. This means that the procedures will be performed in two or more separate surgeries. The first surgery will usually involve a breast procedure, tummy tuck, and liposuction while the second could involve procedures to arms and thighs.

During a Mommy Makeover, the surgeon will make incisions in strategic locations. These incisions will allow the surgeon to access the underlying tissues and muscles. Typically, the incisions are made along natural skin lines, helping to minimize the appearance of scars.

After making the incisions, the surgeon will proceed to perform the various procedures. The exact order of the procedures will vary on the individual case, but the breast procedures are performed first for most women. The tummy tuck and liposuction follow this.

Once all the procedures have been completed, the incisions will be closed with sutures. Next, a surgical bra or compression garment may be applied. This helps to support the newly reshaped breasts. A compression garment will also be applied to other areas of the body where surgery was performed.

Mommy MakeoverRecovery

After the surgery, you can expect to feel some pain and discomfort. The level of pain and discomfort will depend on your pain tolerance and experience. Pain medication is usually prescribed to help manage this.

Most people require about two weeks of recovery time before they can go back to their normal routine and activities. During this time, you should avoid any strenuous activity or exercise. You should also avoid lifting anything heavy.

It is important to follow all the instructions given to you by your surgeon. This will help to ensure a smooth and successful recovery.

Mommy Makeover Results

The results of a Mommy Makeover are usually visible immediately. However, it can take some time for the full results to be apparent. Most women will see the final results after about six months to a year.

A Mommy Makeover essentially paves the path to improving your appearance and self-confidence. It can also help you to feel more comfortable in your own skin. If you're unsatisfied with your post-pregnancy body, a Mommy Makeover may be right for you.

Mommy Makeover FAQs

What will my Mommy Makeover scars look like, and how do you take care of them?

As for taking care of your scars there's a few points to keep in mind:

  • Remember to always wear sunscreen if you're going out in the sun and your scar will be exposed - or try to avoid exposing it in the first place
  • Avoid stretching the skin around your incision sites
  • Keep the area moisturized
  • Follow the advice of your surgeon - they may include some advanced skincare creams or moisturizers promoting more even healing and reduced scarring

How much does a Mommy Makeover cost?

The type and number of procedures will play a role in the final cost, so discussing with your surgeon your optimal outcome and how best to achieve it will give you a better understanding of your mommy makeover cost.

Are there non-surgical procedures that can be done with a Mommy Makeover?
