Childbirth is one of the most amazing experiences a woman can go through, but your body may go through some changes in order to give life. Many mothers are choosing to have a mommy makeover to regain their pre-pregnancy physique. How soon is too soon for plastic surgery? The answer is ultimately up to your body. Our board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Angelchik can help you decide when the timing is right for your mommy makeover.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a surgical procedure that involves a combination of:
These procedures are pooled together to lower the cost and reduce the amount of recovery time needed. Like all major surgeries, this process requires you to be in good health. You need to have the capability to rest and recuperate post-surgery.
Keep in Mind
Some women have mommy makeovers six months after giving birth. However, there are several important aspects to consider before deciding upon surgery too soon.
- The age of your children. The age and developmental stage of your children matters immensely to your mommy makeover timing. The life of a new mother requires constant care of your infant and growing toddler. Wait until your children are at an age where you don’t need to lift them every day.
- Your changing body. Your body will take some time to recover. Lose as much of your pregnancy weight as you can. Consider hiring a personal trainer to help you along the way. A mommy makeover is ideal for women who have lost some pregnancy weight and are looking to get rid of excess skin and stubborn fatty areas.
- Are you done having children? It’s best to wait until you’re done having children before undergoing a major surgery like this. Giving birth may reverse the effects of your mommy makeover.
- Are you still breastfeeding? Wait until you’re done breastfeeding and your child is at least one or two years old. Your breasts need time to return to their natural size and sensitivity prior to any breast augmentation procedure.
