What is a Mommy Makeover Plastic Surgery?

A Mommy Makeover surgery typically consists of multiple procedures and can include anything from breast augmentation, breast lifts, liposuction, tummy tucks, as well as vaginoplasties and labial reductions. All of these surgeries together can have a dramatic, rejuvenating effect for any woman. Not only can they improve your physical appearance, certain surgeries such as vaginoplasties can even help restore function and sensations that childbirth has suppressed.

With the growing popularity of these procedures, combined with their decreasing cost, it's no surprise that the Mommy Makeover has continued to gain more attention among both plastic surgeons as well as mothers looking for a new look. No longer do these procedures have to be out of reach for anyone but the famous and wealthy. In fact, more and more woman from all demographics and income levels are seeking out this potentially life-changing surgery.

While becoming a mother is a wonderful experience for many, there's no denying that pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can take a huge toll on both the physical appearance and self-esteem of a woman. Between the abdominal stretching that occurs during pregnancy, vaginal trauma during delivery, and the expansion and subsequent reduction in breast size following pregnancy and breastfeeding, it's no wonder that a woman's body doesn't look and feel the same.

Vaginal stretching or trauma, in particular, has become a more common problem faced by many women. The causes for this are many, and include an increase in the average birth weight of babies as well as the current preference both women and doctors have for delivering vaginally as opposed to via Caesarean section. Multiple pregnancies and deliveries can exacerbate the problem due to continued stretching of the vaginal tissue and weakening of the muscles in the area. While this certainly makes subsequent deliveries easier for the woman, it can make restoring a healthy sex life difficult. Many men and women have reported a reduction in sensation during intercourse following childbirth. Understandably, this can be a frustrating development that can hinder a couple's intimate relationship. Fortunately, with a vaginoplasty, woman can undergo a simple outpatient procedure that tightens the area and restores the female genitals to their pre-baby form and function.

Even ladies who manage their weight gain through a healthy diet and exercise during pregnancy notice undesirable changes in their form after giving birth and during recovery. From residual fat and loose skin to a weakened stomach and vaginal muscles, growing a baby can make you feel as if you have lost a part of your old self.

Hundreds of thousands of women are turning to these surgeries annually and are shocked by how very effective they can be. Whether they receive one procedure or several, they can't help but notice the dramatic affect that the Mommy Makeover can have on their appearance. Not only do they feel as they did pre-pregnancy, many even say that they have never looked and felt so good in their entire lives.

Our physical appearance can have an enormous impact on our emotional and psychological well-being as well. Restoring a woman's positive view of herself and her body can have wondrous effects on both her own life as well as the lives of those in her family and social circle. Numerous studies have shown that a positive self-image encourages a healthy social life as well as promotes more well-rounded and fulfilled participation in both professional and family activities. In short, feeling great about yourself can make life better for everybody.

If you've been struggling with your appearance post-baby, consider looking into Mommy Makeover surgery procedures. Do some research in your area and you're sure to find a reputable plastic surgeon who specializes in helping mothers regain the body and confidence that are rightly theirs.
