What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a combination of plastic surgery procedures that are typically performed after someone is done having children. Pregnancy and breastfeeding cause significant changes to the body, most often affecting the abdomen and breasts. While motherhood is rewarding, many moms wish to regain their youthful, pre-pregnancy appearance.

Mommy makeovers can include any combination of procedures, common ones being tummy tuck, breast augmentation, breast lift, and labiaplasty. Each procedure is customized to suit your individual concerns and needs based on the areas that have been most affected by pregnancy and childbirth as well as other areas of the body that cause people to feel self-conscious.

Alternatives to a Mommy Makeover

Mommy makeover surgery can be expensive. Most patients seek out surgery only after they have tried multiple other methods to tighten their skin or get rid of stubborn fat. Many people have achieved their ideal body weight yet cannot get the slim contours they want. While weight loss and exercise can improve their general well-being, some women still lack their pre-baby self-confidence in their appearance and body contour.

Breasts impacted by breastfeeding can benefit from the additional volume of breast implants. If after childbirth someone has hanging tummy skin and a distended abdominal wall, surgical tightening can help. While dedicated core exercise can achieve some abdominal tightening, it cannot remove stretch marks, fix muscle separations, or get rid of excess drooping skin. Ultimately, nothing else can achieve the dramatic results seen with a mommy makeover procedure in Tampa Bay performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Marvin Shienbaum.

Am I a Good Candidate for Mommy Makeover in Tampa?

Anyone in the Tampa Bay area who has several concerns about their body as a result of pregnancy and childbirth, or simply due to the aging process, may be eligible for this transformative cosmetic surgery. Eligible women are at a stable weight close to their ideal weight, are non-smokers, and are healthy enough to withstand the surgical procedure and general anesthesia.

To find out if you’re eligible for a mommy makeover, the best way forward is to schedule a consultation with mommy makeover surgeon Dr. Shienbaum, who can evaluate your problem areas and recommend a plastic surgery treatment plan that can help restore your pre-baby body. Dr. Shienbaum is board-certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and has performed hundreds of cosmetic procedures during his career.

Lymphatic Massage for Mommy Makeover recovery

Surgery disrupts the normal flow of fluid through your lymphatic channels, leading to edema and inflammation. A well-trained therapist can encourage these stagnant exudates back into the proper channels and facilitate drainage away from the surgical site. Most patients feel better after a massage and believe that they see improvement. While a lymphatic massage may decrease swelling after a mommy makeover, it usually does not diminish your total healing time.

Most postoperative swelling will resolve on its own, but regular compression and a lymphatic massage will shorten the amount of time required for swelling to go down. Ultrasound therapy has also been shown to improve areas of induration and lumpiness. Avoid excessive heat or cold applications in the first several weeks following surgery until your skin sensation has totally returned.

Supplements & Vitamin Information for Mommy Makeover Patients

Most Americans receive their required vitamins in a balanced and normal diet. Many homeopathic supplements will actually increase bruising after plastic surgery as they act as blood thinners. The same is true for Vitamin E. It is generally recommended to stop all supplements and Vitamin E two weeks prior to your surgery.

Many plastic surgeons feel that Arnica Montana and Bromelain combinations, taken before and several days after surgery, can diminish the discoloration and swelling associated with your procedure. However, avoid these if you have a history of migraines as they may aggravate your condition. Multivitamins A, B, C, D, and Zinc are known to be beneficial to wound healing and are fine to continue to take in normal doses both before and after surgery.

Healing requires a minimum of 70 – 90 grams of protein daily and this should be your dietary goal postoperatively. Make certain you get adequate rest and hydration.
