Mommy Makeover

Pregnancy and childbirth change the female body. However, many women want to feel comfortable in their body even after pregnancy. The term Mommi Makeover has therefore been coined to describe a surgical technique that aims to give women self-confidence again after the changes to their body caused by pregnancy.
Mommy Makeover: Tightening after pregnancy
When deciding to have a child, the physical change in the pregnant woman often plays no role at first. The excitement is great, a nursery has to be furnished and many life changes are on the horizon. However, due to the weight gain and stretching of the tissue, many women struggle with numerous complaints after giving birth. These include
- stretch marks
- sagging skin on the stomach
- rectus diastasis (abdominal muscle weakness)
- sagging breasts
- unsightly caesarean section scar
- Fat deposits in the pubic area
As these problems are identical for many young mothers, the term ‘mommy makeover’ has become established, especially in the American-speaking world. This refers to one or more operations to improve the body after pregnancy. Of course, one could argue that sufficient exercise and diet can help to restore the body image. But even here there are limits, because once tissue has torn and the skin is sagging, this can no longer be corrected without surgery.
Young mothers should of course wait a few months after the birth to see to what extent the body is able to recover. Acting too early or going to a plastic surgeon is rather rash. But after around 6-12 months, even the last mum will know where the body's weak points are and where the body is perhaps unable to cope with the consequences of pregnancy.
For further information, please see the bottom of the page. This is where the advantages and disadvantages of the procedures are presented and the risks and side effects are explained. However, this cannot replace a personal consultation (also via video), in which these aspects are explained and adapted individually. We therefore look forward to a personal consultation with you!
