With the world now being considered a global village, we have been forced to embrace new cultures and ways of life. Every day, we are bombarded with countless images of “flawless” female celebrities who appear strangely trim a couple of months after childbirth. This has led to a dramatic increase in the number of women going for different cosmetic procedures in an attempt to look like these celebrities. One of the most common aesthetic procedures sought after by women who have just given birth is mommy makeover. This procedure consists of a sequence of cosmetic surgeries designed to help women reclaim their pre-baby bodies right after pregnancy.

Unfortunately, there have been several misconceptions about this procedure. The media and social media platforms are the main culprits in spreading these fallacies. So, before you decide on the best options to choose for your mommy makeover, it is important to understand what the whole procedure involves. Also, you need to realize that there are risks involved in this procedure. Therefore, do enough research before you decide to go for this procedure. Here are some of the options you can consider for your mommy makeover.

Tummy Tuck

Also referred to as abdominoplasty, tummy tuck helps to remove extra fat and skin in areas of your body where stubborn fat is deposited. In some instances, this procedure repairs weakened and separated muscles on your tummy to create a flatter and firmer abdominal profile. This procedure is a perfect solution to stubborn tummy fat that won’t go away even after exercising.

Body Lift

This procedure helps to improve the shape and quality of the skin by enhancing the main tissues supporting skin. It removes excess fat and floppy skin. The body lift procedure is commonly done on abdominal area, buttocks and thighs. Elasticity of the skin in these areas is commonly caused by aging, pregnancy, body weight fluctuations, over exposure to the sun among other factors.

Liposuction

Commonly referred to as lipo, liposuction will reshape and trim specific parts of your body by removing extra fat and enhancing your body outlines and proportion. This procedure is ideal for thighs, buttocks, hips, upper arms, back, chest area, cheeks, calves, ankles and inner knees. It can be done alone or together with other cosmetic procedures.

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction involves the removal of excess fat in your breasts, glandular tissue as well as the skin to get a cup size that is proportional to your body. It also helps to ease the discomfort caused by exceptionally large breasts.
Finally, talk to your doctor before going for any of these procedures, especially if you have just given birth.
