Plastic & Bariatric Surgery

The so-called Mommy Makeover, a term that could be translated as a mother's makeover, is emerging as a fashion promoted by great international artists who have just become mothers and want to regain the perfection of their bodies after giving birth.

 

In reality it is a set of surgical interventions, -three, to be exact- whose purpose is to regain the shape and smoothness of the breasts, a completely flat abdomen and eliminate excess fat, especially in the thighs and abdomen.

​

There is no doubt that pregnancy takes its toll on the mother's body: the breasts increase in size to prepare for breastfeeding, the uterus expands incredibly and with it the abdomen and there are many pregnant women who gain more weight than necessary.

 

And after delivery, what? After breastfeeding, the breasts lose their smoothness and are more sagging, the uterus regains its normal volume, but the skin of the belly has lost elasticity showing some careless fall ... or not, if the extra kilos that have been gained in pregnancy remain on your site.

​

All this makes many women obsess after their motherhood to recover their image and even improve it. Special diets, a lot of exercise, special gymnastics, passive gymnastics, cosmetic treatments, etc. Anything goes to achieve the goal. None of it is harmful to health and even some of these initiatives provide clear benefits, such as healthy eating and regular exercise. The problem is that the process is slow and does not always give the desired results.

Mommy makeover

​

• Mammoplasty : you can lift the sagging breast after pregnancy and breastfeeding to regain its original shape or opt directly for a breast augmentation that fills in the excess skin volume, as it leaves fewer scars than the first option.

​

• Abdominoplasty : aims to restore firmness to the abdomen, eliminating skin folds and fat bags, and tightening the muscles through a small incision in the pubic bone. It can even be used to remove the scar caused by a cesarean section by changing it for a more aesthetic one (smaller and finer).

​

• Liposuction and liposculpture : liposuction removes fat, but has no effect on skin or muscle distension. Hence the recommendation to combine it with a tummy tuck in order to sculpt the waist and abdomen at your convenience.
