Mommy Makeover — Dr. Amiti Shah

Motherhood brings endless joy, but the effects of pregnancy on the body can sometimes be long-lasting and difficult to reverse even after prolonged efforts. For mothers struggling with self-confidence due to loose skin, stretch marks, sagging breasts, stubborn fat deposits, and even genital embarrassment, need not worry about these problems anymore as Dr. Amiti Shah offers a special Mommy Makeover in Mumbai to help restore pre-baby bodies and boost self-love.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to restore and improve a woman's body after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. The procedure typically involves a combination of different surgeries, such as breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction, among others, to address the various changes that occur in a woman's body during and after pregnancy.

Procedures Involved in a Mommy Makeover:

1. Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Tightening the abdominal muscles and removing excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen area.
2. Liposuction: Removing stubborn fat deposits from areas such as the thighs, hips, arms, and abdomen.
3. Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Lifting and reshaping sagging breasts, often performed in conjunction with a breast reduction or augmentation.
4. Breast Augmentation: To increase the size and improve the shape of breasts using implants.
5. Breast Reduction: To reduce the size and reshape breasts, often performed in conjunction with a breast lift.
6. Vaginal Rejuvenation: To restore vaginal tone and appearance.

Why is a Mommy Makeover so Popular?

The mommy makeover is highly sought-after and popular because it can be customized to meet the specific needs of each patient. Unlike other procedures, there are no set components or procedures, and every treatment is tailored to fit the unique requirements of the individual. The approach mainly starts with breast and abdomen contouring, and additional procedures are added as necessary.

Recovery Period after a Mommy Makeover:

The recovery process for a mommy makeover differs from woman to woman based on the individual treatment plan. To ensure a smooth recovery, it is recommended to have someone assist you with daily activities and medication for the first 3-5 days. To minimize tension on the incisions and reduce pain, it is advised to sleep on several pillows with slightly bent hips after a tummy tuck. Heavy lifting, contact sports, and jogging should be avoided for up to six weeks. Wearing a support bra daily can minimize swelling after breast reduction or lift, which typically subsides within a few weeks but may persist for up to one month. A compression garment is required during tummy tuck recovery, and showering is permitted after the dressing, sponges, and gauze pads are removed within 72 hours of the mommy makeover.

Benefits of a Mommy Makeover:

1. Customized to Individual Needs: As a mommy makeover is not a set procedure, it can be customized to suit the individual patient's unique needs and preferences.
2. Improved Body Contouring: The combination of procedures involved in a mommy makeover, such as tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and liposuction, can help women achieve a more toned and sculpted body contour.
3. Increased Confidence: A mommy makeover can help women feel more confident and comfortable in their own skin, improving their self-esteem and overall quality of life.
4. Reduced Signs of Ageing: A mommy makeover can also address signs of ageing in addition to the changes caused by pregnancy and childbirth, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity.
