Have you set a goal to get your body back after giving birth? While your efforts will help you look and feel healthier, some of the changes caused by pregnancy cannot be reversed with lifestyle or exercise. Stretched abdominal skin or sagging breasts are best treated with cosmetic surgery. A mommy makeover is customized to address all your areas of concern and help you achieve your goals.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
Each mommy makeover with Dr. Wael Kouli is a unique procedure, with each element added to address your specific goals. In general, this procedure treats the areas most affected by pregnancy and childbirth, including your breasts, abdomen, and overall figure. If you want to enjoy being a mom without the frustrations of your “mom body,” it may be time to find out more about a mommy makeover.
What Does a Mommy Makeover Consist Of?
A mommy makeover can include a wide range of procedures intended to rejuvenate your figure after pregnancy. Performing these procedures together means less recovery time and a faster route to your final results than having them one at a time.
Tummy Tuck
As the typical core of a mommy makeover, a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty can tighten loose skin, remove unwanted fat, and repair abdominal muscles for a flatter, tighter-looking stomach with fewer stretch marks.
Breast Enhancement
Breasts can change in many ways during pregnancy, including dramatic changes in volume that can leave breasts larger, deflated, or sagging. Common breast procedures during a mommy makeover include breast augmentation, breast lift, and breast reduction.
Liposuction
Your physical contours can change during pregnancy in ways difficult to undo without help. Liposuction targets problem areas and sculpts a slimmer, sculpted figure. BodyTite is a gentle form of radiofrequency-assisted liposuction that also helps tighten loose skin.
Thigh Lift
Fat and loose skin around your thighs can be especially difficult to correct after pregnancy. A mommy makeover can reshape your thighs to restore your youthful contours. Individuals having a thigh lift may also have liposuction to sculpt the hips or buttocks to enhance their curves.
REQUEST CONSULTATION
This is the time you get to know and become comfortable with Dr. Kouli and the staff at Esthetica of San Diego, the Center of Cosmetic Surgery. You should express your needs, desires, and expectations for your procedure. Dr. Kouli will review your medical history and discuss the best surgical technique for you. All your questions will be answered as thoroughly as possible.
As Dr. Kouli always says, “no question is a stupid one.” You will have a detailed discussion about the different techniques of surgery. Dr. Kouli will go over most risks and potential complications of surgery and will explain the pre-operative and post-operative process.
What is Recovery Like After a Mommy Makeover?
Having several procedures together does not usually extend your recovery time. For many people, the most extensive procedure is the tummy tuck with a recovery time of about six weeks. Your team will review your post-surgical instructions to ensure you understand what to do, and we are available to assist you at any time.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
One advantage of a mommy makeover is how effectively it can be customized for your unique needs. Almost any woman interested in reversing pregnancy-related physical changes may be a good candidate. Like any surgical procedure, a mommy makeover includes risks, so we will review your medical history and other factors before determining whether a mommy makeover is recommended.
“Dr. Kouli is the best!, best surgeon, best bedside manner, best follow up… just the best.”
