How soon after birth can I have a mommy makeover?
Having received his Board certification, Dr. Steven Clark is one of the best plastic surgeons for procedures. He is the lead surgeon at Bluewater Plastic Surgery, serving Miramar Beach and Niceville, Florida, and offers solutions for men and women who want to improve their appearance.
Women unhappy with the changes in their bodies over time and after childbirth may want to talk to Dr. Clark about undergoing a popular procedure known as the mommy makeover. This treatment is highly beneficial for women who want to address excess fat and skin around the body after pregnancy and are considering breast augmentation and lifts to obtain a more youthful body contour.
However, many women have questions about when they can have this procedure performed after their last pregnancy. Let’s talk more about the mommy makeover and when it should be considered for the best possible results!
What is a mommy makeover?
The mommy makeover continues to be a highly requested procedure for women with various areas of the body that they would like to improve. It is dubbed the “mommy makeover” because it is often performed on women who are done having children and want to repair and restore their bodies to their pre-pregnancy appearance as much as possible. The mommy makeover treatment may include a variety of procedures, including:
- Breast reduction/augmentation
- Breast lift
- Liposuction
- Tummy tuck
How long will I enjoy the results of a mommy makeover?
It is strongly encouraged that women considering the mommy makeover are no longer considering children in the future. Pregnancy causes many changes in the body, and if pregnancy occurs after a mommy makeover, the changes may be reversed and may not return after childbirth. We also encourage women who undergo the mommy makeover to be mindful about diet and exercise to maintain their weight and enjoy their results much longer.
Am I a good candidate for a mommy makeover?
At Bluewater Plastic Surgery, we encourage women to consult with Dr. Steven Clark about their options when it comes to body and breast augmentation. We evaluate each patient thoroughly and talk to them about their desires and medical and family history to determine candidacy for this and other procedures performed at our office. Dr. Steven Clark is a Board-certified plastic surgeon who will perform this procedure only if patients have realistic expectations about what is achievable with the mommy makeover.
How soon after birth can I have the mommy makeover performed?
Our team recommends that women consider the mommy makeover approximately one year after having their last child. This is because of the many changes during and after pregnancy that may impact the treatment results if done too soon afterward. Women should no longer be breastfeeding and should be as close to their pre-pregnancy weight as possible before undergoing such invasive procedures.
How do I find out more about the mommy makeover?
Dr. Steven Clark encourages patients in the area to seek experience! He is a Board-certified plastic surgeon with years of experience helping women restore their bodies with the mommy makeover treatment.
