Why Is the Mommy Makeover So Popular?

As a mother, you take pride and happiness in watching your child grow. While you cherish the opportunity of seeing to your child’s well-being, you may be neglecting your own need for a little pampering. A Mommy Makeover can help you reclaim the body you once had or have always desired.

The Mommy Makeover combines several procedures at once to help you achieve a flatter tummy, lifted and firm breasts, curvier buttocks, slender contours, and a more youthful, pre-pregnancy appearance.

As you take a little time for yourself to get a Mommy Makeover, you can enhance your body, boost your confidence, and strengthen your self-image to help you be an even better example for your child. Individuals who are not mothers but who have experienced major weight loss or unwanted signs of aging can also experience many of the same benefits from these procedures.

What is Mommy Makeover and its benefits?

ARMS & CHIN

BREASTS

Concerns

Having a baby is one of the greatest wonders and joys in life. As a mom, the love, support, and nurturing you give to your children often goes beyond the emotional devotion and care; there is a wide array of physical effects that pregnancy and breastfeeding will have on your body.

A Mommy Makeover can address a number of areas affected by childbirth. It can help you get back into your sexiest clothes and make you fit into your new two-piece bikini. It can address sagging breasts, loose skin, stretched abdominal muscles, stubborn fat deposits on abdomen, hips, thighs and buttocks, stretch marks, and that protruding belly you can’t wait to get rid of.

In addition to breast and tummy changes, many moms notice additional changes, such as dark spots, small red marks, and other changes in facial skin such as increasing fine lines and wrinkles. For the many physical changes in texture, color, and contour ranging from very mild to more significant, there are a variety of treatments available, ranging from minimally invasive non-surgical procedures, to plastic surgery procedures for post-pregnancy changes. Dr. Izadpanah offers a custom-tailored mommy makeover in Montreal.

The changes your body goes through to perform that process, though, may leave you almost unrecognizable to yourself. Montreal moms come in to see Dr. Izadpanah with a range of problems when it comes to getting back their pre-pregnancy bodies, such as:

Abdominal muscle separation, which creates an unwanted pooch in the belly that is best repaired with surgery.
Loss of breast volume and lift after breastfeeding.
Excess fat and sagging skin.

Visible C-section scars above the bikini line, especially if you had an emergency C-section and have a vertical scar.
Excess fatty deposits that just won’t go away despite proper diet and exercise.

Solutions

There is no standard formula for a mommy makeover; it is always tailored to your individual needs. Cosmetic surgery procedures after pregnancy or any cosmetic treatments geared toward the correction of, and the reversal of, post-pregnancy alterations in the body and skin may be combined, or performed as isolated procedures. You have kids at home, and you need to get back to them rapidly. Most moms do not have the luxury of a long recovery period after their mommy makeover in Montreal, so a treatment plan is always suggested that gets you back to family life, and just as importantly, your life, the most quickly.

You have probably been watching what you eat and regularly working out. But it just hasn’t been enough to get you the body you want — and deserve. Dr. Ali Izadpanah understands your concerns. He has helped hundreds of women like you achieve stunning figures through a uniquely tailored combination of procedures, the “Mommy Makeover.”

If you are a mother looking to rejuvenate your pre-baby body in Montreal, Dr. Ali Izadpanah is more than happy to meet with you to discuss your options.

Breast Lift

Breasts often lose volume, tissue, and skin tone from the changes that occur during pregnancy and breast feeding, resulting in a sagging appearance. Breast lift surgery (mastopexy), eliminates extra skin and tightens the remaining tissue for firmer, “perkier,” more youthful-looking breasts. When done concurrently with a breast augmentation, these procedures will enhance your mommy makeover to bring your breast back to pre-pregnancy form.Improves breast shape and contour

Breast Augmentation

Nothing takes the brunt of childbearing, breastfeeding, and aging as much as a woman’s breasts. A mommy makeover will include a breast augmentation more than any other procedure.

A breast augmentation with implants adds fullness and volume to the breasts for a more contoured, better aesthetic appearance. They can improve the cosmetic appearance of breasts that have lost volume or fullness after pregnancy, weight gain/loss, or breastfeeding.

Permanently boosts breast size with implants
Enhances breast shape for a rounder, more feminine look
Restores youthful volume and firmness
Implants come in a wide variety of sizes, profiles, textures, etc. for patient customization

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck can correct unattractive changes to the abdomen caused by pregnancy, aging, heredity, or weight fluctuations. This surgery tightens and firms the abdomen to restore its definition and contour.

Removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen
Tightens weakened or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
Particularly beneficial after multiple pregnancies

Liposuction

Pregnancy, nursing, and weight fluctuations often leave pockets of stubborn fat in areas such as the hips, buttocks, waist, and thighs. Liposuction removes fat from trouble areas to create more youthful and slender body contours.

Directly targets stubborn fat in troublesome areas
Can be performed anywhere on the body
Permanently removes unwanted fat
Improves body contours

Brazilian Buttock Lift

A Brazilian Buttock Lift is a buttock augmentation procedure in which fat is transferred from multiple areas of the body to the buttocks. First, liposuction is used to contour the body and harvest excess fat, predominantly from the abdomen, flanks and back. Fat can be extracted from other areas of the body as well if needed. The fat is then purified and only the highest quality fat is used to augment the buttocks. The transferred fat provides volume and contour, for a shapelier, perkier and younger looking booty.

Arm Lift

This procedure can improve loose skin and fullness of the arms along with hanging skin in the armpits. The arm lift reduces excess skin and fat of the upper arms to provide a smoother, more toned and proportionate appearance.

Face Lift

Being a mother is as exhausting as it is gratifying, and most moms develop a few more lines and wrinkles after having children. For facial concerns, lines and wrinkles can be effectively addressed with little or no down time with injectables: toxins, fillers or PRP. Facial skin texture can be refined, refreshed, and beautified with medical esthetic treatments. The possible combinations are numerous, and depend solely upon your desires. After a thorough discussion of your goals, Dr. Izadpanah will suggest a post-pregnancy treatment plan that is tailored specifically for you, striving to deliver the most suitable mommy makeover procedure.

Most women are able to return to normal activities including work, working out, and caring for kids approximately one week after breast augmentation or breast lift, and between ten days and two weeks after breast and/or tummy tuck surgery.

FAQ

Which procedures should I include in my Mommy Makeover?

The procedures listed above are the ones that are most often included in the Mommy Makeover. If you do not need all of these procedures, you can select the ones that best fit your needs. Some individuals may need other procedures not listed here, such as a facelift, arm lift, or others. Every patient’s needs are unique, which is why Dr. Izadpanah discusses your needs with you in detail during your consultation. At that time, the two of you will determine which procedures you should include with your Mommy Makeover.

When is the best time to get a Mommy Makeover?

The best time to get a Mommy Makeover is when you are finished having children, it is at least six months after you have delivered your last child or stopped nursing, and you are financially and physically prepared to undergo major surgery. Patients who are physically fit and near their goal body weight usually have the best results from Mommy Makeover surgery.

Who is an ideal candidate for Mommy Makeover surgery?

Ideal candidates for a Mommy Makeover are typically mothers or individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight. Most patients have pockets of stubborn fat combined with sagging abdominal skin, weakened stomach muscles, and deflated, sagging breasts. Candidates should be non-smokers or be willing to quit for at least two weeks before and after their procedure. The best candidates have a healthy lifestyle and are within 10 to 15 pounds of their goal weight.

Do I have to be a mother to get a Mommy Makeover?

Despite its name, the Mommy Makeover is not just for mothers. This procedure can be performed on any woman or even any man who desires correction of multiple body issues at once.

What is the benefit of combining your treatments into a Mommy Makeover rather than doing each procedure one at a time?

There are multiple benefits to combining your procedures into one as a Mommy Makeover:

Overall less expensive than multiple surgeries
Far easier recovery overall than multiple surgical procedures
Shorter surgical timeline altogether
Less time off work overall
Your full results come sooner

Are the results permanent?

The results of your Mommy Makeover are designed to be long lasting. However, their longevity largely depends on choices that you make. Women who become pregnant or gain a lot of weight after their Mommy Makeover will likely compromise their results. The natural aging process can also affect how long results last. You will be able to maintain your results the best with a healthy lifestyle and avoiding future pregnancies.

Will I not be able to breastfeed after breast surgery?

There is always a probability; however, Dr. Izadpanah takes every necessary precaution for your surgery to be successful.

Will breast implants affect my ability to receive mammograms?

A skilled technician should be able to perform a mammogram even with breast implants. Make sure you inform the laboratory that you have implants when you make the appointment and confirm that they have someone experienced in image testing patients with implants. In some cases, you may be asked to undergo an MRI to better view the breast tissue.

Will this procedure help eliminate cellulite?

It depends on the selected procedures. Liposuction can help to reduce the appearance of cellulite, but it does not eliminate it.

What happens if I get pregnant after a Mommy Makeover?

Becoming pregnant after a Mommy Makeover can reverse the effects of the surgery, which is why we recommend undergoing a Mommy Makeover if you are finished with having children.

What should I expect post-op?

You will most likely be required to wear a compression garment over the treated areas and you may also require drains depending on the procedure. Massages are an extremely important part of the healing process. They help in providing optimal results, helping with natural contour and uniformity. To help you manage pain, your doctor will prescribe you pain medications. Recovery time varies depending on the procedures selected in you Mommy Makeover.

How soon after I finish breast feeding can I have breast plastic surgery?

Breast augmentation or breast lift should be performed no sooner than three months following cessation of breast feeding.
