Mummy makeover

Women say that having children is one of the most beautiful things in their lives. However, pregnancy and breastfeeding change women’s bodies and sometimes it’s difficult to return to pre-pregnancy shape. A skilled plastic surgeon like Dr. Dragana Spica can help you address the effects of childbearing and restore your pre-baby shape with a personalized procedure called mommy makeover.

Mommy Makeover is a customized set of aesthetic surgeries designed to address your concerns with the appearance of your breasts and body. Typical combinations of procedures include breast surgeries, tummy tuck and liposuction.

This comprehensive procedure targets concerns like saggy breasts, stretched abdominal muscles, and loose skin. It especially targets body areas that you can’t tighten and contour just with exercise or a proper diet. With a personalized treatment plan, Dr. Dragana can help you restore the appearance you desire and feel more comfortable and confident about your body.

What does mommy makeover plastic surgery include?

Before scheduling your mommy makeover surgery, you are consulted with Dr. Dragana Spica. Dr. Dragana asks you about your medical history and determines if you are a good candidate for this procedure. Then she creates a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns and fulfills your desired aesthetic goals.

Dr. Dragana also recommends how to prepare for the surgery. Some of her recommendations include:

  • Avoiding blood-thining medications to prevent excessive bleeding before and post-surgery
  • Arranging for someone to drive you home after the surgery
  • Arranging for someone to stay with you for the first 24 hours after the surgery
  • Finishing all your household chores
  • Arranging for someone to help you look after children post-surgery

 

On the day of your mommy makeover, you are first prepped for the surgery and given general anesthesia. Dr. Dragana performs the surgery according to your bespoke treatment plan which may include:

  • Tummy tuck - Dr. Dragana eliminates the skin and underlying fat deposits from your lower abdomen. She tightens the muscles and makes the entire area firmer and better contoured. With this procedure, Dr. Dragana can even significantly reduce your stretch marks on the abdomen.
  • Breast surgeries - Dr. Dragana performs breast augmentation with breast implants. She restores the shape, symmetry and fullness of your breasts. Dr. Dragana also performs breast lift procedure where she eliminates the excess skin and breast tissue to position your breasts in their natural position.
  • Liposuction - Dr. Dragana removes stubborn fat deposits using a minimally invasive liposuction technique. After this procedure, your entire silhouette appears symmetrical and nicely shaped.

After finishing your mommy makeover, Dr. Dragana closes the incisions with stitches and you may leave the surgical facility soon afterward unless she advises you to stay overnight.
Before you leave, arrange for someone to drive you home.

What are the benefits of the mommy makeover?

Mommy makeover offers you plenty of benefits.

Who is a good candidate for mommy makeover plastic surgery?

Since mommy makeover is an individualized procedure you should undergo it for yourself and not because of trying to fit in some kind of ideal image.

To be a good candidate for a mommy makeover plastic surgery, should be generally healthy and fit and at your ideal weight. You should also have realistic expectations from the procedure.

It’s very important to choose the right time to have this surgery. You will discuss this with Dr. Dragana. Generally, you should be fully recovered from childbirth and finished with breastfeeding. Your breasts need a couple of months to return to stable shape and size. Also, if you are finished planning your family, then you should consider having this procedure. Fluctuation in weight post-surgery may interfere with the results.
