Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
In general, patients seeking a mommy makeover usually have the following cosmetic complaints:
- Breasts that have lost volume, shape, perkiness, and symmetry
- Sagging abdominal area
- Stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise
- Fine lines, wrinkles, and deep creases on the face
What Procedures Could a Mommy Makeover Involve?
The term Mommy Makeover refers to many different procedures that women use to rejuvenate their physical appearance, especially after pregnancy. There are a host of various treatments associated with this term, including:
Liposuction
Unwanted fat that is resistant to diet and exercise is something that many women suffer from, especially after pregnancy. Liposuction can remove fat from nearly anywhere on the body, including the thighs, buttocks, stomach, neck, chin, love handles, and knees. This procedure, when integrated into a mommy makeover, is an excellent option for smoothing out stubborn fat and achieving a more sculpted shape.
Tummy Tuck
Giving birth can have serious, long-lasting effects on the abdominal area that can’t be corrected with dieting or exercise. Muscles and skin stretch, and no matter how much you work out, this area doesn’t always return to its pre-pregnancy appearance. Fortunately, a tummy tuck not only removes excess skin and fat, but it also tightens the abdominal muscles, giving you a flatter, sleeker tummy. And when paired with a healthy diet and exercise, you can maximize the results of your operation.
Breast Augmentation
Unhappiness with breast size and shape is a common complaint from women after pregnancy. Often, breasts tend to have a deflated appearance after breastfeeding, with a less defined shape, which can have a significant impact on a woman’s self-esteem. Thankfully, breast augmentation during a mommy makeover can restore fullness and shape to breasts while keeping them looking and feeling natural, allowing moms to feel comfortable with their figure again.
Breast Lift
In addition to loss of fullness, many women experience sagging breasts after pregnancy. While a breast augmentation can’t provide lift, a breast lift is the perfect way to make the chest look perky again. A breast augmentation performed in conjunction with a breast lift is a popular surgical combination for women undergoing a mommy makeover.
Botox® Cosmetic Injections
For many local moms, Botox® Cosmetic remains one of the most popular cosmetic treatments to rejuvenate the face. Mommy makeover patients are drawn to this treatment because it requires no surgery and virtually no downtime, and it is very effective at reducing fine lines and wrinkles in the forehead, around the eyes, and around the mouth. If you’d prefer a non-surgical procedure for your mommy makeover, Botox® Cosmetic may be exactly what you need to refresh your appearance.
Dermal Fillers
Like Botox® Cosmetic, dermal fillers are another popular choice for mommy makeover patients in Alexandria or Northern Virginia who prefer a non-surgical method of facial rejuvenation. If the stress of daily life has caused your face to lose its youthful fullness, then dermal fillers like Juvéderm®, and Volbella® may benefit you. These injectables are effective against stubborn creases on the face, like the nasolabial folds and marionette lines. When a dermal filler is injected in just the right spots around the face, they can promote the production of collagen and fill in creases and lines without looking “done.” They can also be used to achieve full, attractive lips.
Skin Care
For busy moms, skin care often gets pushed to the bottom of daily tasks. However, with the right selection of products, many women can transform their skin and restore its natural glow. Dr. Desman offers a number of different skin treatments at his practice including a line of professional skin care products suitable for all skin types. As part of their mommy makeover, many women choose to use products in the comfort of their own home, achieving beautiful results that leave your skin looking vibrant, clear, and younger.
Vaginal Rejuvenation
After childbirth, some women experience changes in appearance and function in the vaginal area. This may include things like vaginal dryness, urinary incontinence, labia laxity, and more. These issues may lead to difficulties in their personal and romantic life or physical discomfort. Dr. Desman can sensitively address these issues and can offer a range of treatment options customized to a specific concern.
