Becoming a mom is one of the most rewarding of all life experiences – but pregnancy and breastfeeding can leave you with body issues that leave you feeling less confidence in your body image. Whether you have had several pregnancies, or just one, it can drastically change your figure, leaving you with a tummy pouch, excess fat on thighs and buttocks, stretch marks, or saggy breasts. Dr. Sadrian's mommy makeover procedure in San Diego, performed in his state-of-the-art medical suite, is a customized procedure to restore a firm, trim, attractive shape to body and breasts.

Preparing for a Mommy Makeover

Preparation is essential for a successful Mommy Makeover. Begin with a consultation with Dr. Sadrian to discuss your goals and medical history and to develop a customized plan. Ensure you complete all necessary health evaluations to confirm you are fit for surgery. It is also important to quit smoking at least six weeks before the procedure to promote better healing. Arrange for assistance during the initial recovery period, particularly for childcare and household duties. Finally, adhere to any pre-surgery instructions provided, such as medications to avoid and fasting requirements, to ensure the best possible outcome.

What is Included in a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover refers to a combination of body contouring procedures. They are performed together to improve the physical changes to your body after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. At his San Diego plastic surgery practice, Dr. Sadrian will meet with you to discuss your goals and then develop a customized plan that is right for you. The general approach to Dr. Sadrian's mommy makeover procedures includes a combination of surgical procedures, focusing on the breasts, waistline, and general body sculpting.

Breast Lift

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the breasts can increase in size as much as a full cup size or more. Returning to normal can mean a significant loss in volume with noticeable sagging. Many women choose to restore their buoyancy and regain a youthful, perky lift with a breast lift.

Breast Augmentation

To restore lost volume after pregnancy and nursing, implants are used to augment the size of the breasts and enhance their shape and symmetry. For women who would like to achieve larger, rounder breasts without implants, a fat transfer breast augmentation can be performed by harvesting fat from an area of the body with surplus fat and injecting this fat into the breasts.

Body Sculpting

Moms can experience drastic changes in the body and skin shape and condition after having children. Battle scars include stretch marks, sagging skin, excess fat, and other issues. A body lift would be the procedure procedure to treat these conditions.

Tummy Tuck

After the baby weight is lost, many moms struggle with excess skin and fat on the abdomen. A tummy tuck will remove the excess fat and skin, and in most cases, restore weakened or separated muscles that have resulted due to pregnancy.

Liposuction

Stubborn pockets of fat in various areas of the body can build up and be quite difficult to budge after having children. Liposuction eliminates these fat pockets, contouring your body and achieving sleek, slim lines. Common areas sculpted with liposuction are the abdomen, thighs, bra area, back, and arms.

Brazilian Butt Lift

After pregnancy, the volume in the bottom can deflate, leaving a flat or sagging bottom. Many women want to renew this area and achieve a perky, round butt. During a Brazilian butt lift, fat is removed from one area of the body with extra volume, then injected into the bottom, resulting in a lifted, round butt that perfectly compliments the defined waist and enhanced breasts that a mommy makeover achieves.

Who Is a Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

Motherhood often means prioritizing your family’s needs over your own. For moms of all ages, Dr. Sadrian's mommy makeover procedures will get you back to feeling like you are at your best. Even with a commitment to healthy eating and exercising, it can be hard to return to that firm, tight, pre-baby appearance. An ideal candidate is someone who has experienced unwanted changes in their breasts and abdomen after pregnancy. Consider a Mommy Makeover with Dr. Sadrian if you identify with any of the following:

Additional Reading

  • Diet and Exercise Aren't Enough: Despite your efforts, your body hasn't returned to its pre-pregnancy shape.
  • Changes in Breast Size or Shape: Pregnancy and breastfeeding have altered the size or firmness of your breasts.
  • Abdominal Concerns: You've struggled to tighten your abs and lose excess skin post-pregnancy.
  • Excess Fat and Tissue: You're looking to eliminate stubborn fat and tissue around your midsection.
  • Clothing Fit: You wish to comfortably wear your pre-pregnancy clothes again.
  • Stretch Marks: Stretch marks on your abdomen have impacted your confidence.
  • Beach Body Confidence: You desire to wear a bikini confidently at the beach.

To achieve and maintain the best results, it is recommended that you undergo a Mommy Makeover after you have completed your family. Dr. Sadrian advises allowing your body at least six months to heal post-delivery before considering surgery. Additionally, you should stop breastfeeding for two to three months prior to your procedure to allow for an accurate assessment of your breast size and shape. A Mommy Makeover addresses the issues that diet and exercise alone cannot fix, such as stretch marks, loose skin, and sagging breasts. It is intended to complement a healthy lifestyle, not replace it. For more information or to schedule a consultation, contact Dr. Sadrian's office in San Diego. Let us help you reclaim your pre-pregnancy body and confidence.

Recovery After The Procedure?

A mommy makeover typically allows you to recover at home. Your recovery can take one to two weeks depending on the specific procedures included in your mommy makeover. Following your mommy makeover surgery at Dr. Sadrian's San Diego plastic surgery center, you can expect to experience soreness, swelling, and bruising. You will be limited in what you can lift – including children and pets! It is important to have someone help you at home for at least 24 to 48 hours after your procedure. Avoid heavy lifting, sports, vigorous exercise or other physical activities for about six weeks.

How Long Will it Take to See The Results?

The results of your mommy makeover will slowly be revealed. You’ve just had surgery and as with any surgery, recovery time is needed. During the first three to six weeks of your recovery period, your abdomen and breasts will be swollen. This is nothing to worry about; it’s a natural part of the healing process. Swelling diminishes over the days and weeks. The final results, and a trimmer, more attractive look finally achieved after about three months.

Other Surgical and Non-Surgical Options

In addition to the standard procedures included in a Mommy Makeover, there are several other surgical and non-surgical options available to enhance your results. Surgical options include a thigh lift, which removes excess skin and fat from the thighs for a more toned appearance, an arm lift to address sagging skin and fat in the upper arms, and labiaplasty, which reshapes the labia for aesthetic or comfort reasons. For those seeking non-surgical solutions, CoolSculpting offers a non-invasive fat reduction treatment, other forms of non-surgical body contouring can also be utilized to lift and tighten the skin, and laser skin resurfacing improves skin texture while reducing the appearance of scars and stretch marks.

Depending on your healing process and which procedures you have done, you will need to wait about two months to exercise vigorously again. You will be able to return to light-level activities within about two weeks.

Depending on the number of procedures you’re having and which procedures you choose, the procedure length varies. Most mommy makeovers take between three and seven hours.

While you will be able to have children after a mommy makeover, the cosmetic results of many mommy makeover procedures may be impacted or even reversed. Dr. Sadrian recommends waiting to have a mommy makeover until you are sure you’re done having children.
