Cure Post Baby Blues with a Mommy Makeover
Dear Dr. Baltimore,
Since having kids, I haven’t felt comfortable in my skin. I work out as much as possible and eat pretty well, yet I still can’t seem to get back my post-baby body. I have heard playground whispers about women having Mommy Makeover procedures and am curious as to what this entails.
Sincerely yours,
Maybe a Mommy Makeover Mom
Dear Maybe a Mommy Makeover Mom,
Most women struggle with body image issues post-pregnancy and the truth is that the miracle that is childbirth, wreaks havoc on a woman’s body. Throw in breast feeding and multiple pregnancies or multiple births and you would be hard pressed to find any mom looking and feeling at her physical best.
By the time most woman are done having children and breast feeding they often struggle to return to their post baby body. Frustration is common place even among the seemingly fit moms who, no matter how hard they workout, no matter how healthy they try and eat, they too, still cannot seem to achieve the results they so desire. The hard truth is that after childbirth, diet and exercise alone are often just not enough.
That’s where the term “Mommy Makeover” comes into play. Because every woman’s body is different, a true Mommy Makeover has no specific definition. Usually it involves plastic surgery repair of either the breast and or abdominal area. Tailored to the specific concerns of each individual, a Mommy Makeover procedure varies on a case by case basis.
For some women, a breast lift may be all that is necessary to address her concerns, while others may require one of the other Breast augmentation alternatives. Most women will benefit from some type of body contouring of the abdominal region, such as a Tummy Tuck procedure or liposuction. Sometimes, minor procedures can dramatically change a woman’s physical appearance and self-confidence. During your complimentary consultation, we will discuss options best suited to your desired results and lifestyle.
While insurance companies most likely will not cover any of these procedures, we are happy to submit to your insurance if your case warrants it. We also offer special medical financing through Care Credit and are happy to help you apply.
