Having a baby is one of the most wonderful experiences in life however some women find that as much as they love being a mum, they don’t love some of the changes pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding have made to their bodies. Many women who have had children experience breast and body changes that are often not correctable with diet and exercise.
Weight gain, stretched abdominal muscles, sagging skin and other physical reminders of their pregnancy are all part of the journey for some, while other women are left unhappy with their post pregnancy bodies – opting to undergo a “Mummy Makeover” post childbirth.
A mummy makeover is typically a combination of procedures designed to restore a woman’s body to its pre-pregnancy state. There are many different surgeries that can be performed as part of post pregnancy rejuvenation – the two most popular ones being abdominoplasties (tummy tuck) and mastopexies (breast lift and implants). Generally, a mummy makeover will work to improve several areas of the body in one operation – the intention here being to minimise down time and allow for one recovery – essential for busy mums. It can reduce excess fat and enhance breast volume as well as improve self-confidence.
You may be a good candidate for a mummy makeover if you
- Are at a healthy and stable weight
