How Do You Qualify for a Mommy Makeover?

Are you a mother who is struggling to regain your pre-pregnancy body? You’re not alone.

Motherhood brings a lot of changes in a woman’s life. While you have many new things to be overjoyed, a few things may annoy you.

Many women find their bodies don’t bounce back after pregnancy and childbirth, leaving them frustrated and disheartened. They feel self-conscious about their stretched-out abdominal muscles, saggy breasts, and stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise.

But there is hope! A mommy makeover can help you restore your body to its pre-pregnancy shape. A mommy makeover is a combination of cosmetic surgery procedures designed to help women regain their pre-pregnancy bodies. These procedures include a tummy tuck procedure, breast augmentation or lift, and liposuction.

In this blog, we will explore what the mommy makeover procedure is and how you qualify for it.

What is Mommy Makeover?

Whether you’re looking to restore the shape and volume of your breasts, get rid of stubborn belly fat and loose skin, or address other areas of your body that have been affected by pregnancy and childbirth, a mommy makeover can help you achieve your desired results.

A mommy makeover combines cosmetic surgery procedures that can help you restore your pre-pregnancy body and boost your self-confidence. The procedures in a mommy makeover vary depending on the patient’s needs and goals. Still, they typically include one or more of the following: tummy tuck, breast surgery, buttock augmentation procedure and liposuction.

Qualifications for Mommy Makeover

Whether you’re looking to restore the shape and volume of your breasts, get rid of stubborn belly fat and loose skin, or address other areas of your body that have been affected by pregnancy and childbirth, a mommy makeover can help you achieve your desired results.

To qualify for a Mommy Makeover, you must meet certain criteria, including:

1- Be in a Good Health

If you are considering a mommy makeover, being in good health is one of the most important factors to ensure a successful procedure and recovery. After all, you’ll be undergoing multiple surgical procedures at once, and your body should be ready for it.

You need to be at a stable weight and have a healthy lifestyle. This means that you are eating well, exercising regularly, and avoiding bad habits that could negatively impact your health.

2- Be at a Stable Weight

While the tummy tuck procedure is intended to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area, it is not intended for a long-lasting solution to excessive weight. Therefore, while considering mommy makeovers, you must have a stable weight to get desired results.

Additionally, when you’re at a stable weight, your body is in a good place, and you’re less likely to experience complications during the procedure or recovery. This means you are less likely to experience swelling, bruising, or other side effects that could slow your recovery.

3- Be done Having Children

Although it is not required for cosmetic surgical procedures, it is advised that you be done having babies before undergoing a full mommy makeover. This is because, whether you’ve had surgery or not, pregnancy can change your body in many ways, including stretching your skin and muscles and adding weight in certain areas. A pregnancy after cosmetic surgery will essentially nullify the work you have done. You can have additional surgeries, but waiting and doing everything at once is safer.

4- Have Realistic Expectations

Before undergoing a mommy makeover, including a vaginal tightening procedure, you must have realistic expectations because the procedure is not a magic solution that will solve all of your body issues. It is designed to help you restore your body to its pre-pregnancy appearance. Having realistic expectations means being honest about your goals and what you want to achieve.
