How Many Procedures Are Too Many for a Mommy Makeover?
Becoming a mother is a beautiful experience. But pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding can leave many new moms yearning for their pre-pregnancy body. While being an active mom helps to reduce the pre-pregnancy weight, following a healthy diet and exercise routine is often not enough to help undo the changes pregnancy makes to your body.
A mommy makeover is a combination procedure designed to help you get your pre-pregnancy body back. But what’s in a mommy makeover and how many different procedures can you combine before you hit your limit?
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is an individualized combination of surgical procedures that target your areas of concern. For many women, this typically means a tummy tuck, liposuction and breast augmentation. However, that isn’t always what women need. Other possible mommy makeover procedures can include:
- Breast lifts
- Breast reductions
- Female rejuvenation
- Arm lifts
- Thigh lifts
- Butt lifts
- Facelifts
Your overall health and desired goals will play an important role in determining how many procedures are necessary and safe for you to include in your mommy makeover.
If you are considering a mommy makeover, your surgeon will ask you what you are hoping to achieve and recommend the procedure combinations that will work best for you. While you may be ready to go for a complete makeover, not all procedures are necessary or healthy for you to have at the same time.
Does a Mommy Makeover Come with Limits?
Every mommy makeover caters to the individual, so what may be too much for one woman may be perfectly fine for another. When you meet with your surgeon, they will discuss your goals and go over your medical history. As with any medical procedure, you need to be in good physical health and, for a mommy makeover, you will want to be done having children and at or near your ideal body weight.
When it comes to determining how many procedures are safe for you, your surgeon will look at your medical history, and pre-existing conditions and the goals you hope to achieve. In some cases, they may recommend doing separate procedures in stages instead of all at once.
