News Roundup – Mommy Makeover

Mommy makeovers have traditionally been thought of as a combination of tummy tuck surgery and breast enhancement, but increasing numbers of women are also concerned with the appearance of their bodies below the waist. Buttock enhancement can be the perfect option for moms who have lost weight after pregnancy and find that their posteriors seem saggy or lack tightness, while vaginal rejuvenation is now more popular than ever before. After all, pregnancy and childbirth can alter so much more than just the breasts and belly. Why not get the most out of your mommy makeover?

A mommy makeover, by definition, combines multiple surgeries into one procedure. Given the amount of stress the body can undergo during surgery, it’s natural for women considering a mommy makeover to wonder if combining procedures is really the safest option. However, studies conclude that combining procedures results in no risk increase when compared to surgeries performed separately. In fact, combining procedures can be the better option. Combining multiple surgeries means women will only need to undergo one recovery period, which can greatly minimize the amount of physical discomfort, not to mention emotional and psychological stress, of having more than one procedure. Combining surgeries can also be the best option for professional women who can’t take the time away from work for multiple surgery dates.

If you’ve ever wondered what’s in a mommy makeover, you’re not alone. The term “mommy makeover” is relatively new in cosmetic surgery, and refers to a customized combination of procedures aimed at helping women who have completed their families reclaim their pre-pregnancy bodies. It’s no secret that age and stress can take a toll on our appearances, while pregnancy hormones, weight fluctuations, childbirth and nursing can all affect the body in ways that might be irreversible without the help of cosmetic surgery. Since the breasts and the midsection can be the most highly impacted by motherhood, a mommy makeover usually includes some form of breast enhancement, along with a tummy tuck. However, increasing numbers of women now choose to include buttock enhancement, facial rejuvenation, liposuction, thigh lifts and vaginal rejuvenation in their mommy makeovers.

Mommy makeovers weren’t always as popular as they are today. Due to lower costs of cosmetic procedures, wider availability of practices, and a growing cultural focus on fitness and aging with grace, women who have completed their families now frequently consider their options for regaining their pre-baby look. Today, having a family doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your body or your confidence. From breast augmentation and abdominoplasty to lesser known procedures like scar revision, genital rejuvenation and Brazilian butt lifts, mommy makeovers can offer just the right solution to reclaiming your youth and vigor. Contact your local cosmetic surgeon to find out how a mommy makeover can help you meet your appearance goals.

If you thought the popular post-baby solution for aging bodies known as a mommy makeover was just for women, think again. Men may not experience the same extent of baby-influenced physical changes, but age, stress and weight fluctuations can take quite a toll on the male body just as they do on the female body. That’s why more and more men are getting the dad lift, the male response to mommy makeovers. The dad lift is a nonsurgical facelift alternative designed to help men look and feel younger. By restoring lost facial volume with dermal fillers and smoothing out dynamic wrinkles with BOTOX®, the dad lift can help men appear more youthful, refreshed and invigorated. Finally, the noninvasive treatment uses laser skin resurfacing to tighten and tone the facial skin, minimizing age spots, sun damage, scars and fine lines for an overall smoother look.
