What Does a Mommy Makeover Entail?
A mommy makeover is a term for a combination of cosmetic surgeries designed to restore a woman’s pre-pregnancy body.
The following procedures are commonly included in a mommy makeover:
- Tummy Tuck: Removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, tightening the muscles.
- Breast Augmentation: Enhances breast size and shape with implants.
- Breast Lift: Corrects sagging breasts by repositioning breast tissue.
- Liposuction: Removes unwanted fat from specific areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs.
- Vaginal Rejuvenation: Addresses changes in the vaginal area due to childbirth.
Psychological Benefits of a Mommy Makeover
Mommy makeovers offer profound psychological benefits alongside physical improvements. These benefits can reshape a mother’s outlook, fostering a rejuvenated sense of self and improved mental health.
Boost in Self-Confidence
Many women experience a noticeable increase in self-esteem following a mommy makeover. Aligning their physical appearance with their internal image from before they were pregnant can lead to greater confidence and a renewed sense of identity.
Reduction in Postpartum Depression Symptoms
The physical changes during and after pregnancy can sometimes contribute to postpartum depression (though it’s important to note that these changes are not the sole cause of the condition). For some women, addressing body image dissatisfaction with mommy makeover can play a role in reducing symptoms of depression and aid mothers in their emotional recovery.
Encouragement for a Healthier Lifestyle
Many women feel motivated to maintain their new appearance post-surgery through healthier lifestyle choices. This shift often includes better eating habits, regular exercise, and overall wellness practices that contribute positively to mental health.
Better Physical Comfort and Mobility
A mommy makeover can improve physical comfort by removing excess skin and fat and tightening the affected areas. This can enhance a mother’s ability to engage in activities, reduce physical discomfort, and eliminate some barriers to physical exercise.
