Mommy Makeover Surgery in Houston
Restore Your Appearance After Pregnancy
New moms often find themselves longing to have their youthful look back. Pregnancy stretches the stomach, breasts, and other parts of the body and even the most rigorous of diet and exercise routines may not restore your previous size and shape. Our Houston cosmetic surgery can offer a mommy makeover, which is a set of different procedures that can help restore your pre-pregnancy body.
Schedule consultationWhat Does a Mommy Makeover Consist Of?
We can help you decide on one or a combination of procedures during an initial consultation. They include:
- Tummy Tuck – Loose skin, stretch marks, and excess fat (or flab) on the abdomen are common after pregnancy. We can remove excess fat and tighten abdominal muscles to smooth out your belly and make it look flatter so you have a more fit appearance. The area can be reshaped by removing excess skin as well. The procedure is sometimes combined with liposuction to achieve an even slimmer waistline.
- Breast Augmentation/Lift – The procedure can enlarge smaller breasts, even out asymmetrical breasts, and lift breasts to the desired location. We can also restore the size and shape of your breasts following pregnancy. Implant placement, using silicone or saline breast implants, may be used for augmentation procedures.
- Liposuction – A common mommy makeover surgery, liposuction removes excess fat from the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, neck, chin, arms, calves, and back. First, tumescent fluid is injected to begin the breakdown of fat cells. Fatty tissue is then removed by a high-pressure vacuum delivered through a hollow cannula inserted under the skin. Liposuction is not for treating weight loss or obesity and should be combined with a healthier lifestyle to stay in shape.
Mommy Makeover Recovery Time
Recovery time depends on the procedure, its extent, and your individual body. Swelling should start to subside within a week or two of a tummy tuck, but it can take up to six months for it to fully disappear. Swelling and changes in sensation are common after a breast lift or augmentation. Soreness can last for several weeks, but patients often return to work in a few days. A supportive post-surgical bra must be worn during recovery.
Liposuction generally has a very short recovery time. You will be walking after the surgery and go home the same day. However, you won’t be able to drive right away.
