WALNUT CREEKDr. Robert Aycock is capable of performing a full plethora of cosmetic surgeries depending on your individual concerns and issues. While we have many patients at our practice, it’s very common to see mothers come to us following pregnancy. As a result, many of these women are looking for treatments to restore their body to its former self and undo some of the cosmetic effects of being pregnant. With a Mommy Makeover, we can provide a series of treatments that will do just that.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is the name given to a collection of treatments you can choose to tackle some of the most common effects of giving birth. At Dr. Aycock’s practice, we offer the following treatments as part of a Mommy Makeover:
- Breast augmentation
- Breast reduction
- Breast lift
- Tummy tuck
- Arm lift
- Thigh Lift
- Liposuction
Essentially, it is up to you to decide which treatments make up your Mommy Makeover! Your treatment is designed to help sculpt your figure back to a closer resemblance to what it was before you had children.
Mommy Makeover Recovery
As you can imagine, there is a fair amount of recovery needed after a Mommy Makeover. The exact amount of time spent recovering will vary from candidate to candidate. Of course, you have so many factors to take into account – with the main one being the extent of your treatment. The more procedures you combine together, the longer your recovery will be.
Straight after your treatment, you will need at least an overnight stay to let any excess fluid drain from your body. A special compression garment may also be required to help your skin adjust to your new shape. Following this, most candidates can return to mild activities after a week or so. However, it tends to take at least 6-8 weeks to see a full recovery from your surgery. At this point, you will be able to return to your normal schedule.
Benefits of a Mommy Makeover
Mommy Makeovers provide a series of benefits, many of which are psychological. The results of your procedure will leave you looking more slender and contoured than you’ve been for years. It can help you feel so much more self-confident, raising your self-esteem to heights you’ve not reached since you were a lot younger. You feel comfortable wearing tight clothes and going to the beach – it can truly change your life.
Furthermore, a critical benefit is that the procedure is so customizable. You can pick and choose which surgeries and non-surgical treatments to add to your Mommy Makeover, tailoring it to your aesthetics goals. Some candidates just want a tummy tuck and liposuction, others like to add in breast augmentation procedures. It’s entirely up to you, which is what makes this so popular.
Am I a Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
It is not recommended that you undergo a Mommy Makeover soon after giving birth. You should also not get one if you are still breastfeeding. The ideal candidates will be women that no longer want any children and would like to undo or lessen the physical effects that pregnancy has on the human body.
“Dr. Aycock performed my liposuction years ago and I was so happy with the results that when it was time for fillers, I would not have considered any other medical group. Sandra is the injection nurse and she took the time to determine what my concerns were before the procedure. Then she worked on me like an artist, looking at me under different lighting and angles. I was very comfortable during the filler injections and couldn’t stop smiling. This is just the second day of recovery and I already see a major lessening of the folds around my mouth. Next appointment already made!” *
