Mommy makeover

Women who have given birth often complain about deflated or sagging breasts, excess abdominal skin, and fat accumulation in the thighs or other areas of the body. It is also common to experience separation of the rectus abdominis muscles, known as diastasis, which can cause dissatisfaction with appearance and may contribute to lower back pain, pelvic floor weakness, poor posture, urinary incontinence, chronic constipation, or hernia formation. Physical exercise alone cannot always restore the body’s previous shape. A mommy makeover is usually performed about one year after childbirth and typically includes abdominoplasty, breast lift, and, if needed, breast reduction or breast augmentation with implants.
