A woman’s body endures a lot through childbearing and childbirth, which can leave many women feeling insecure or lacking the confidence they once had. A mommy makeover is perfect to regain your confidence and help you feel great in your own body.
Mommy makeovers include surgical procedures that can help to firm the appearance of the abdomen and improve breast shape. While weight loss and hitting the gym can help change the look of your body, a mommy makeover targets issues that no amount of time in the gym can remedy.
Yet, many women are hesitant to inquire about mommy makeover procedures or worry about their safety. In this guide, we’ll explore the safety of mommy makeovers and how to weigh the benefits and risks of the procedure.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover can include a variety of different surgical procedures that address the changes a woman’s body undergoes during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Each procedure is tailored based on each woman’s needs but may include breast augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction, breast lift, or other surgical procedures. The specific surgeries selected for a mommy makeover depend on the areas a woman wishes to target the most.
