Gaining Back Confidence: What Mommy Makeovers Can Do for You

If you’ve had children, you can’t imagine life without them — their laughter, smiles, and wonder at discovering so many new things in the world. And yet, they’ve changed your body in so many ways. You may not feel as young, beautiful, and confident as you used to and wish there was something you could do about it.

Enter the Mommy Makeover from Frederick H. Watkins, MD. Dr. Watkins and our caring, experienced team have helped many mothers just like you regain their confidence. Here’s what Mommy Makeovers can do for you.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures designed to help your body return to where it was before pregnancy. The act of having a baby changes a woman’s body in many ways, including drooping breasts, pockets of fat in your abdomen, stretch marks, enlarged areolas, and a sagging tummy.

No matter how much dieting and exercise you do, some of these changes persist. However, advances in plastic surgery have given us the ability to reverse almost all these issues. We can lift, reshape, and resize your breasts while removing excess skin from your abdomen and tightening the muscles there. 

Put it all together, and you have a Mommy Makeover designed to restore your youthful appearance and confidence. And that’s why this package continues to grow in popularity.

Who qualifies for a Mommy Makeover?

While the Mommy Makeover is designed to address changes that occur during pregnancy, you don’t have to have a child to qualify. Anyone who needs breast lifting or shaping combined with body or abdominal work can take advantage of these procedures.

What is life like after a Mommy Makeover?

Your recovery time after a Mommy Makeover depends on which procedures you undergo, but you should plan on a couple of weeks off work to recuperate. You’ll likely have to avoid exertion for another few weeks after that. Every case is unique, so Dr. Watkins gives you specific recovery recommendations.

A Mommy Makeover not only improves your appearance (including enhanced body contours, firmer breasts, and a flatter abdomen) but also restores your self-confidence and improves your mental health.

A Mommy Makeover can help you reclaim a part of yourself you set aside for the joy of having children. As you appreciate your new and improved body, your increased confidence will make you a better mother as well.
