Mommy Makeover
Many women after pregnancy commonly find issues such as sagging breasts, loose skin, and stretched abdominal muscles. This type of makeover can reverse all of these unwanted physical changes caused by pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding, at levels in which no amount of healthy eating and exercise can attain. However, even though a mommy makeover offers such potential benefits, the healthy eating habits and exercise routines you have developed in efforts of losing post-pregnancy weight is important since this makeover is not a weight loss procedure.
Weight Loss Can Lower Your Risk For Surgical Complications
Being Fit Will Lead To A Smoother & Quicker Recovery
As with all surgeries, a mommy makeover will require some downtime, however this can be hard on you and your family. Therefore, it is an extra incentive for patients to recover properly and quickly from the makeover. Physically fit and healthy patients are able to recover more quickly because regular exercise improves their immune system, cardiovascular health and stress response and a healthy diet ensures that the body has the nutrients it needs to heal and control inflammation. Their bodies are able to handle the surgery more efficiently and thus, can heal at a much faster rate.
Having A Stable, Ideal Weight Will Lead To More Satisfying, Long-Term Outcomes
Patients finds that they can achieve more satisfying results from their makeover when they are physically fit and close to their ideal weight. This is because their plastic surgeons are able to understand their body shapes better and can more closely achieve the aesthetic goals with surgery. Furthermore, significant weight loss after the makeover surgery can negatively impact the outcomes, causing additional sagging of breasts and skin. Therefore, being close to an ideal weight is important for satisfying results that last.
The results from this procedure must also be maintained in order to be long-lasting. The healthy eating habits and exercise that you have developed to reach your ideal weight will be useful post-surgery in keeping your new, transformed body the way you want it.
