A mommy makeover is any combination of cosmetic procedures that restore your before-pregnancy appearance.
The more time you spend on your productive future and taking care of your family, the less time you have to take care of yourself and your body. As the female body ages, certain areas like the abdomen and flanks become more susceptible to fat accumulation & a few others like breasts and abdominal skin sag, and the face sinks and wrinkles. Areas such as the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, buttocks, and under the chin may begin to harbor fat and make you look older and out of shape. The breast appears deflated, sagging in most cases, or disproportionately large in a few cases. On the other hand, regions of the face like eyelids, eyebrows, and cheek sink and wrinkle with signs of volume loss. Moreover, weight gain and fluctuations in weight loss can cause the skin to become stretched and starts to lose its elasticity.
A mommy makeover is any combination of cosmetic procedures that restore your before-pregnancy appearance, typically focusing on the breasts and abdomen but including the face as well. Mommy makeovers include body contouring cosmetic surgical procedures, non-surgical treatments, or a combination of both. Mommy makeover is quite a common and often discussed topic between couples in their middle age nowadays. The aesthetic appearance of the body, breasts, and face for women was less of a concern in the past but not so more in the present era. The aesthetic body is not only required as a lifestyle personal need but also for certain job requirements and to maintain a crisp and classy profile for most women.
Many women develop insecurities about their bodies and lower confidence and self-esteem. But a Mommy Makeover and a healthy lifestyle can help re-establish a more pleasing overall contour of the body, breasts, and face.
A typical Mommy makeover might include a tummy tuck, a breast procedure such as an augmentation, lift or reduction and liposuction of overweight areas.
