For many women, pregnancy and breastfeeding can take a toll on the body, especially the breasts and abdomen. A Mommy Makeover, which combines a breast lift with a tummy tuck, can help restore your pre-pregnancy shape. In this blog, we'll explore the benefits of combining these two procedures and how they work together to create a harmonious transformation.
The Tummy Tuck: Restoring the Abdomen
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, while also tightening the abdominal muscles that may have been stretched during pregnancy. This procedure restores a flatter, firmer, and more youthful appearance to the midsection.
The Breast Lift: Restoring Shape and Volume
A breast lift (mastopexy) addresses sagging breasts caused by pregnancy and breastfeeding. The procedure lifts the breasts to a higher position and removes excess skin for a more youthful appearance. If necessary, breast augmentation can be added to restore lost volume.
Why Combine the Procedures?
Combining a breast lift with a tummy tuck in a Mommy Makeover is ideal because it addresses both the upper and lower body in one cohesive plan. This combination not only saves time but also enhances results, creating a balanced and proportional figure. By restoring the shape of both the breasts and the abdomen, the Mommy Makeover offers comprehensive body contouring and a rejuvenated look.
What to Expect
The Mommy Makeover is customized to your specific needs. Dr. Arroyo will evaluate your body, discuss your goals, and recommend the best combination of procedures. The recovery process may take several weeks, but the results are long-lasting and can significantly improve both your appearance and confidence.
