Bonjour lecteurs! Being a mum is probably the most demanding thing you’ll ever do. It will change your life, mentally , but will also have some impacts physically (and hormonally!) on your body. You will encounter physical changes, some of which are a little less desirable than others. No wonder why many mamans look into cosmetic procedures to find themselves again. It’s not always easy to feel good in your body. Nowadays, mummy makeovers are becoming populaires to reach a better post-birth body. But it’s une décision personnelle that requires a lot of reflection. So here are for you a few things to consider before a mummy makeover.
Mummy Makeover
Contrary to popular belief, a mummy makeover will not get you back into your pre-baby shape.
Both pregnancy and childbirth put immense stress on your body and it can take up to a year to see final results.
Despite what social media would have us think, this is far from being a quick-fix solution to your problème.
On top of it, it’s not worth comparing yourself to celebrities. They have a très différente lifestyle to you and they have extra help such as personal trainers and nutritionists to help them in their journey to get back into shape.
Before You Book
Cosmetic procedures such as those listed here are, by their nature, invasive. They are serious procedures with medical consequences, and which bring with them a not-inconsiderable level of risk, too. So before you take the plunge, you should sérieusement consider all your options.
You should do your recherche so that you properly understand fully what you are going for. It’s also worth considering la possibilité that some procedures may not go the way you expect them to. If the surgery goes wrong, or you suffer improper medical treatment at any point in your journey, you should know which medical negligence solicitors you intend to turn to in pursuit of compensation!
Do you still feel this is for you? Here are the most common mummy makeover procedures.
Tummy Tuck
The tummy tuck , or medically known as an abdominoplasty, is the most common of mummy makeover procedure.
Basically, the surgeon removes excess skin from the abdomen and tighten the muscles beneath.
This targeted procedure aims to deal with stretched skin from your baby bump, and also with stretched-out muscles from pregnancy.
Liposuction
Liposuction is another tummy-targeting procedure, but one entirely different to the tummy tuck. Instead of removing skin, you’re extracting fat deposits from beneath the skin, enabling you to get a more contoured appearance.
Before you decide to go forward with this, bear in mind that this procedure is merely done to provide you with a smoother body shape. Contrairemement to what you may think, it’s not a weight-loss procedure.
If you do want to lose weight in this area, some targeted exercise as well as an healthy diet (and some patience!) will also do the trick.
Breast Augmentation or Lift
Breast-related procedures are hugely common cosmetic surgeries. You have 2 options: to receive implants that change the size and shape of your boobs, or to ‘lift’ your boobs by repositioning the nipple and removing excess skin.
To achieve the best results and make it as safe as possible, you should wait at least six months after you stop breastfeeding your baby.
Indeed, hormonal changes and the process of breastfeeding can make this body area particularly sore.
Changes in breast shape and size are normal after pregnancy. You may experience breast shrinkage and sagging. If it’s a big issue to you, you can consider a breast augmentation to help.
Another problème commun in women is a persistent breast volume after pregnancy and breastfeeding, which leads to pain in your back. If it’s the case, a breast reduction could be la solution.
Feeling good in your body is never an easy one for women, especially after giving birth. If this is a continuous issue to you that truly lower your happiness and self-esteem, a mummy makeover could be a solution. However, I would not rush into it and wait before deciding to go for any of the procedures listed above. Many might think they make a quick fix solution, but like any surgery, you will need time to recover and your body will not change overnight.
Either way, it’s a décision personnelle and only you know if you need this to boost your confidence and find yourself again after birth.
