Is There Anything the Mommy Makeover Surgery Can't Do?

When women visit surgeons for consultations about getting a mommy makeover surgery, they encounter a long list of procedures that meet their needs. Mommy makeover does everything from targeting stubborn fat to augmenting your breasts and buttocks to tightening a lax vagina.

The sheer range of results a mommy makeover can achieve make it seem otherworldly in its abilities. Add the latest technologies with minimal trauma and invasion, and prospective patients are often left wondering if there is anything mommy makeover cannot do.

Let us discuss some of these limitations to keep your expectations realistic going into this decision.

Cannot Change Your Body Type

Despite incorporating so many procedures and techniques, the mommy makeover cannot fundamentally change your body type. There are three body types – ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph – determined by your genes. A mommy makeover cannot fundamentally change this.

Instead, your surgeon works with your existing muscle structures and natural contours for stunning results. This approach promises much better results instead of potentially unnatural-looking contours. Any female plastic surgeon who agrees to all your demands cannot be trusted to deliver aesthetically pleasing results.

The introduction of 3D technology further enhances this, allowing patients to pre-determine their results. In breast augmentation, reduction and lift, 3D simulations help patients keep realistic expectations, preventing disappointment after their procedure.

Cannot Help You Lose Weight

Liposuction is a large part of mommy makeover surgery. Liposuction surgery targets the subcutaneous fat present under the skin. This stubborn fat refuses to burn with exercise, and liposuction is a quick fix.

However, removing any fat volume of more than 10% of your body weight is dangerous. This means that if the patient weighs 70kg, your surgeon can safely remove 7 litres of fat. However, you may want to lose a lot more weight than liposuction can remove. Therefore, you need a diet and exercise regimen that helps you lose your pregnancy weight while maintaining your new contours.

Cannot Maintain Your New Body Through Another Pregnancy

Despite its name and seemingly permanent solutions, a mommy makeover surgery cannot survive a pregnancy. Only undergo this surgery once you are done having children. If you decide to go through another pregnancy, you will accumulate excess skin and fat, with your body changing all over again.

Therefore, you will need to undergo another mommy makeover, causing unnecessary trauma to your body. Instead, have as many children as you want and get the surgery once you are done. It would be best to wait after childbirth until you are within 30% of your goal weight. Thus, when you undergo this procedure, you get the best results.
