The mommy makeover refers to a combination of body contouring procedures that is done to address the physical effects experienced by many women after pregnancy and breastfeeding. These commonly include loss of breast volume or sagging breasts, enlarged nipples and areola, loose sagging abdominal skin, stretched and separated abdominal muscles and stubborn pockets of fat.
The procedures commonly done as part of a mommy makeover include breast augmentation, breast lift (mastopexy), nipple reduction, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) with the repair of the abdominal muscles, and liposuction.
Some important points to consider - firstly, it’s better to wait for a few months after completing breastfeeding, to give enough time for the volume of the breasts to stabilise. Also, if you are contemplating having more children, it’s best to defer these procedures until after the family is completed.
