Pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing all take a toll on your body. Unless you’re a workout fanatic, at the end of a long day, the last thing you want to do is spend hours at the gym. There is a way to makeover your body without spending hours in the gym or going on an extreme diet. At Rios Center for Plastic Surgery in Edinburg, TX, we offer Mommy Makeover Texas where you can trade in your mom-body for a better than pre-baby body that will restore your confidence.
Once you have one or more children, it’s no secret that you have significantly less time than you used to. A Mommy Makeover Downtime can help you reverse the physical ways that pregnancy and childbirth have changed and affected your body, all at once. The benefit of such a makeover is that you can choose multiple treatments as a part of a treatment plan that is customized to your goals. These treatments include but are not limited to:
- Breast augmentation
- Breast lift
- Liposuction
- Tummy tuck
Breast Augmentation
Each procedure involved in this makeover is complex and requires a consultation. Breast augmentation is no different. If you choose this option, you will undergo an extensive consultation with Dr. Rios to discuss your ultimate goals. Breast augmentation is a procedure that changes the breasts that you were born with to the breasts you’ve always wanted. You can add this treatment to your makeover to achieve your ultimate aesthetic outcome.
What Happens During the Procedure?
During this part of the makeover procedure, an implant will be inserted to change the size and shape of your breasts based on the aesthetic look you decided on during your in-depth consultation with Dr. Rios pre-surgery. During the consultation, Dr. Rios will discuss the different types of implants, the methods by which they can be inserted, and the location of their ultimate placement. The surgery will then be performed accordingly.
Why Should I Include This Treatment in My Mommy Makeover?
If you’ve always considered implants, there’s no better time to do it than during your Mommy Makeover Downtime. The benefit of adding this procedure to your makeover is that you can get it done in conjunction with other treatments, which results in a reduced total recovery time.
The Breast Lift
A breast lift is different from an augmentation in that it does not involve the use of an implant. Instead, the goal is to address sagging or drooping breasts resulting from years of nursing, or weight gain and weight loss from pregnancy. This procedure works with your natural breasts and corrects the surrounding skin to give you a more natural, youthful appearance. If you are happy with your breast size and shape, this procedure may be an option to consider.
What Happens During the Procedure?
During a breast lift, incisions are made in strategic areas to remove excess skin and tighten the underlying tissue. The total amount of excess skin removed plays a role in the size of the incision, as well as the incision methods. The skin is then lifted, and the incisions are closed, ultimately resulting in an improved breast shape. It also gives you a lifted, youthful look, and it improves the firmness of your breasts.
Why Should I Include This Treatment in My Mommy Makeover?
If you’re happy with your breast size and shape, but feel as though your breasts have begun to drift from the most desirable location, this procedure will correct that. In laymen’s terms, this procedure will give you your high school breasts back. If that doesn’t persuade you to consider adding this treatment to your makeover, nothing will.
Liposuction
Fat loss is hard work, especially if you don’t have hours to spend exercising each day. Whether you’re a new mother or a seasoned mother, liposuction can help you achieve your goals quickly and effectively. If you have fat that you cannot seem to lose on your own, liposuction will remove it, giving you a sculpted shape without the need for intense exercise or extreme dieting.
What Happens During the Procedure?
Dr. Rios uses VASER technology to perform liposuction, which compared to traditional methods, is the liposuction of the future. VASER lipo is nothing like the liposuction of the past, which could be considered by some to be abrasive in retrospect. VASER lipo uses advanced technology to liquefy fat so that it can be removed easily and gently with a cannula. It also provides patients with reduced recovery time and less swelling.
Why Should I Include This Treatment in My Mommy Makeover Downtime?
There are many noninvasive “fat-melting” treatments available at MedSpas across the country, but they often require multiple sessions over several months to see results. Liposuction is the most effective form of fat removal, and if you’ve been considering it but haven’t ever decided to through with it, during your makeover procedure is the optimal time. You’ll reduce recovery times and be able to have your body shaped and contoured to your goals.
Tummy Tuck
You could have the strongest core in the world or rock-hard abs, but if they’re covered by extra loose skin, it will never look like it. Aside from a very small percentage of women, loose skin is almost a guaranteed result of pregnancy, especially if you have gone through more than one. Creams and devices only help so much, but the fact is, the only way to tighten your stomach is by getting rid of loose skin. A Tummy Tuck will tighten your core and remove excess skin.
What Happens During the Procedure?
A tummy tuck qualifies as a body contouring procedure. During the procedure, all of the excess skin from your pregnancies is removed. Additionally, your core muscles are tightened, resulting in the stomach you may have only dreamed possible. The whole area is then contoured, resulting in a tighter, firmer stomach.
Why Should I Add This Treatment to My Makeover?
If you have stretch marks, you know that they are stubborn and even laser treatments cannot completely erase them. Not only does this procedure tighten the core muscles and remove excess skin in a way that creams and noninvasive devices cannot, but it also reduces the total amount of stretch marks on the stomach. Additionally, it will result in a flatter stomach and a leaner overall appearance. Your clothes will fit and look better, as will your swimsuits.
Benefits of a Mommy Makeover Downtime
You cannot effectively care for the needs of your family if you don’t invest in taking care of yourself. There is a way to get your pre-pregnancy body back without spending hours you don’t have in the gym. This procedure has physical, mental, and emotional benefits. When you take the time to invest in yourself, your whole being will benefit. Not only will you look better, but you will feel better. Also, you’ll be able to combine all of your dream treatments into one.
Combined Recovery Time
When you choose this makeover procedure, you are saving yourself a lot of time spent recovering because it combines the recovery time of multiple surgical procedures into one recovery period. If you have always considered one or more of these treatments, such as a breast lift, augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction, or other body shaping procedures, the best time to have them done is all at once. You’ll save yourself months of recovery time.
Enhanced Outcome
When you combine multiple procedures into one, you often end up with enhanced results. A tummy tuck can be enhanced by liposuction of the surrounding areas, and it can also be enhanced by a breast lift or augmentation. All of these procedures build upon and complement each other, resulting in the body that you may have thought wasn’t possible post-pregnancy.
Restored Sense of Confidence
It’s no secret that when you look good, you feel good. A new pair of shoes, a flattering pair of jeans, a manicure: if simple things like this make you feel more confident, just imagine how a completely transformed body would make you feel. Many women find that investing in themselves helps them find themselves again. The woman who may have lost herself amid diapers and burp rags can emerge from the cocoon of motherhood and become her confident self once again.
Ultimate Act of Self Care
When you’re constantly taking care of children and meeting their every need, it’s easy to lose yourself. Weight gain seems to sometimes just happen because you’re not taking the time to focus on you. If you’ve always wanted to get a mommy makeover downtime but have never thought it was a viable option, think again. This isn’t a surgery that should make you feel guilty for putting time into yourself, but it should be considered as the ultimate act of self-care.
Why Your Surgeon Matters
“You get what you pay for” couldn’t ring more true in the world of aesthetic surgery. Some of the procedures involved with this makeover are quite extensive, so you don’t want to choose the cheapest doctor you can find, or you may find that your results reflect that discounted price. Instead, you want to choose someone who will treat your body like an artist treats a work of art, someone who not only has the training, but is skillful, precise, and has an aesthetic eye.
Additionally, when you are considering any form of elective surgery, you want to choose a board-certified doctor who has the experience, works with expertise, and consistently produces results. This makeover procedure is nothing to take lightly since it involves so many different aspects of your body. When you choose Dr. Rios, you are choosing a surgeon who has skills, works with precision, and has the experience to consistently produce positive results.
Am I a Candidate?
If you are in good health and want to get back to your pre-baby body, and even possibly look better than you did before pregnancy, you are a candidate for this procedure. During a consultation with Dr. Rios, he will review your health history, listen to your concerns, answer any questions you may have regarding any part of the procedure, and tailor a comprehensive treatment plan. He will create a customized procedure to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
