As a mom, you know better than anyone how hard it can be to make time for yourself while juggling all the responsibilities of motherhood, which is why the idea of a mommy makeover can be so appealing. The premise behind this popular procedure is simple: one operation that addresses multiple areas related to pregnancy and childbirth, from the abdomen to your breasts. But what does that process look like? How long does it take? In this guide, we’ll dive into these questions to give you an overview of the mommy makeover procedure from start to finish.
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A “mommy makeover” is a term used to describe a combination of surgical procedures intended to address the changes that can occur in a woman’s body after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. The primary goal of a mommy makeover is to restore or even enhance a woman’s pre-pregnancy appearance. The specific procedures included in a mommy makeover can vary based on individual needs and desires but typically involve a combination of the following:
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
This procedure removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal region and tightens the abdominal muscles, resulting in a flatter, more toned abdomen.
Breast Augmentation and/or Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can alter the size, shape, and position of breasts. If someone desires to increase breast volume, they may opt for breast augmentation using implants. On the other hand, a person with sagging breasts may choose a breast lift procedure to elevate them to a more youthful position. Depending on the individual’s needs, these procedures can be performed separately or in combination.
Liposuction
This procedure can remove localized fat deposits that might have accumulated during pregnancy and remain resistant to diet and exercise.
Can a Mommy Makeover Be Non-Invasive?
Traditionally, the mommy makeover has involved invasive surgical procedures to restore a mother’s body to its pre-pregnancy state. However, at Luxxe Wellness & Beauty, we’re proud to offer a non-invasive mommy makeover. With multiple treatment options like Emsculpt NEO, Emsella, RF microneedling, and 3 Deep Contour, we can target specific body areas and create a custom plan to help you feel your best.
EmSculpt NEO
Emsculpt NEO uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology (HIFEM) and radiofrequency to induce powerful muscle contractions that aren’t achievable through voluntary contractions. This results in increased muscle tone and enhanced fat metabolism. For postpartum moms looking to regain abdominal tone or lift their buttocks after pregnancy and childbirth, Emsculpt NEO can be an effective solution.
Emsella
Pregnancy and childbirth can weaken pelvic floor muscles, leading to urinary incontinence and other related issues. Emsella uses HIFEM to target these muscles, inducing thousands of contractions per session. This helps strengthen the pelvic floor, reducing incontinence issues and enhancing intimate well-being.
RF Microneedling
Post-pregnancy, many women experience skin laxity and textural changes. RF microneedling combines the collagen-inducing benefits of traditional microneedling with the skin-tightening effects of radiofrequency energy. This dual action boosts collagen production, smooths out wrinkles and fine lines, and promotes tighter, more youthful skin — ideal for areas like the abdomen that may have become stretched or saggy after childbirth.
3 Deep Contour
3 Deep Contour utilizes radiofrequency energy to heat deep tissue layers without affecting the skin’s surface. This promotes collagen production and tightens the underlying structures, leading to a more contoured and firm appearance. It can be particularly beneficial for areas like the abdomen, thighs, and arms where loose skin or stubborn fat pockets remain post-pregnancy.
How Long Would a Non-Invasive Mommy Makeover Take?
The duration of a non-invasive mommy makeover largely depends on the combination of treatments selected and the specific needs of the individual. Generally, each session for treatments like Emsculpt NEO, Emsella, RF microneedling, or 3 Deep Contour may last between 30 minutes and an hour. When combined in a comprehensive makeover, one might expect a single session to span several hours.
Multiple sessions spread over weeks or months are typically needed to achieve optimal results. However, one of the significant advantages of a non-invasive approach is the minimal to no downtime, allowing mothers to seamlessly integrate treatments into their busy schedules without considerable disruption.
What Qualifies You for a Mommy Makeover?
When you join us for your first consultation, we’ll closely assess your suitability for a non-surgical mommy makeover. Generally, if urinary incontinence or challenges related to a compromised pelvic floor are concerns for you post-pregnancy, then HIFEM treatments could be an ideal match.
Similarly, if you’re keen on shedding residual fat while toning muscles, procedures that utilize high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy might be right up your alley. Lastly, if skin laxity or the familiar “mommy pooch” is a concern, or if you desire more refined and firm skin, radiofrequency microneedling might be the solution. Each individual’s circumstances and goals are unique, so personalized assessment is crucial for determining the best treatment approach.
