How Body Contouring Procedures Help After Pregnancy

Pregnancy and childbirth are miraculous events – you brought life into this world! But the aftermath can often change your body in ways that exercise and diet simply can’t fix. If you’re looking for a Mommy Makeover Miami residents trust, here’s what you should know.

What Does Post Pregnancy Plastic Surgery Address?

Pregnancy and childbirth are highly traumatic events that take a significant toll on your body. Even after you’ve shed the baby weight, you may be left with new aesthetic and functional concerns. Common issues include:

  • Stretched and separated abdominal wall muscles
  • Excess skin around the abdomen
  • Stretch marks on the stomach
  • Stubborn pockets of excess fat no matter how much weight you lose
  • Poor posture and back pain due to weakened abdominal muscles

While diet and exercise are essential to stay healthy and achieve the desired results, working out and eating salads will not get rid of excess skin or lift your breasts up where they used to be. As a surgeon known for providing a Mommy Makeover Miami loves, Dr. Ramiro Morales has helped hundreds of women address post-pregnancy aesthetic and functional concerns to look and feel their best.

Mommy Makeover Contouring Procedures

As a provider of cosmetic surgery Miami trusts, Morales Plastic Surgery specializes in post pregnancy plastic surgery tailored to a client’s needs. Dr. Ramiro Morales will work with you to determine the best procedures for your unique concerns, physical characteristics, and personal goals. These contouring procedures include:

Tummy tuck

Childbirth – and particularly cesarean sections – can cause muscles in the abdominal wall to tear or stretch beyond normal recovery. Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, is a procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal region while simultaneously tightening separated or stretched abdominal wall muscles, improving appearance as well as posture.

Breast lift

Weight gain, breast swelling, and breast feeding can stretch the skin of your breasts, resulting in sagging and deflation. A breast lift can restore fullness by removing extra tissue and skin and repositioning the areola and nipples for a youthful, perky appearance. 

Liposuction

The way our bodies store fat changes with pregnancy and childbirth. If you’ve developed stubborn fat pockets that won’t budge no matter how much you exercise, liposuction may be performed to sculpt your silhouette. Dr. Morales employs a range of liposuction techniques, from power-assisted liposuction to traditional tumescent liposuction.

Mommy Makeover

When you go in for a “mommy makeover,” Dr. Morales can address several concerns at once, so you can come out with a comprehensive result and reduced downtime. Once you and Dr. Morales lay out a plan together for your goals and the results you can realistically expect, Dr. Morales can efficiently perform multiple procedures while you are under anesthesia. For example, patients may choose to have a breast lift, breast augmentation, and tummy tuck done together.
