Many women look forward to the blessings of motherhood. Having a child is a very joyful event in a woman’s life!
However, what women don’t look forward to is the physical changes after childbirth. From stretch marks to skin laxity and smaller breasts, most women want the best of both worlds—a happy, healthy child and a stunning, youthful appearance.
With a Mommy Makeover, you can have both! You don’t have to worry about physical changes after childbirth because we’re here to restore you to your pre-pregnancy glory!
What Is a Mommy Makeover? Defining the Approach
The real question for most women is, what can a Mommy Makeover offer me?
A Mommy Makeover is the perfect way to undo the physical alterations caused by childbirth. It includes a package of several surgeries designed to revamp the areas of your body that were most affected by childbirth.
Whether you’re looking to lose some of that post-pregnancy weight or erase wrinkles caused by stress, we’ve got you covered with a complete Mommy Makeover package!
Why Is a Mommy Makeover More Than Just a Single Procedure?
Because Mommy Makeovers include multiple complex procedures, cosmetic surgeons often find patients do best when the surgeries are broken up.
For example, patients who want both a breast augmentation and a Brazilian butt lift, or BBL, will find it beneficial to have these operations done at different times. Not only are they both long-duration surgeries, but they have different and sometimes opposing, recovery methods.
Having both a breast augmentation and a Brazilian butt lift on the same day would create unnecessary physical stress for the mother. That’s why Dr. Chang recommends carefully organizing and separating your Mommy Makeover into a series of procedures.
What Procedures Are Typically Included in a Mommy Makeover?
Now you’re probably wondering what your Mommy Makeover package could look like.
The most popular procedures in a Mommy Makeover include:
- A breast lift and/or breast augmentation
- A tummy tuck
- A vaginal rejuvenation procedure
- BOTOX injections
- Chemical peels
This list isn’t the limit of Mommy Makeovers, however. Today we’re going to answer your questions about one of the most coveted cosmetic surgeries, a Brazilian butt lift, as part of a Mommy Makeover.
Is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Part of a Mommy Makeover?
A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) could easily be part of your Mommy Makeover experience.
This popular surgery involves using liposuction to take fat from another area of your body and then injecting it into your buttocks to fill them out more.
If fuller buttocks are on your list of dreamy Mommy Makeover operations, then Dr. Chang and his team will happily add it to your package of procedures.
Customizing Your Mommy Makeover
You and Dr. Chang must work together to create a cohesive and functional Mommy Makeover plan.
At your consultation, you will discuss what surgeries you’d like to include and in what time frame they could be executed.
Mommy Makeovers are very customizable, so you don’t have to worry about making your aesthetic dreams come true! We want every mother to feel just as beautiful after childbirth as before.
How to Determine the Best Combination of Procedures in a Mommy Makeover?
Your best Mommy Makeover will address as many of your aesthetic concerns as possible.
While planning, you should be aware that some surgeries conflict with others. The classic example of this is the tummy tuck and the Brazilian butt lift. For a tummy tuck, you’ll need to sleep on your back, but for a BBL, you must sleep on your stomach. It’s impossible to fulfill both requirements simultaneously, so the surgeries cannot be performed on the same day.
Determining the best combination of Mommy Makeover procedures, then, involves carefully planning when to have your surgeries done and which surgeries can be combined.
Dr. Chang is an expert in guiding patients through this process, so with his advice, you’ll have a master plan in no time!
What Factors Should You Consider When Thinking About Adding a BBL?
For moms ready to add some volume to their buttocks, there are a few factors they should consider.
BBLs have gained an infamous reputation for being dangerous surgeries. While many risks have been resolved, moms should still be aware that something could go wrong.
When purified fat is injected into the buttocks, Dr. Chang will place it carefully to avoid the many blood vessels in this area. However, the fat could accidentally enter the bloodstream, resulting in a serious or fatal condition known as fat embolism.
While this is an unlikely scenario, BBL candidates need to be aware of the risks this surgery poses.
How to Discuss the Possibility of Including a BBL with Your Surgeon?
If you’re ready to plan your Mommy Makeover, your first step is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Chang.
At your consultation, Dr. Chang will discuss what procedures you hope to include in your Mommy Makeover package. If you’re interested in getting a Brazilian butt lift, be sure to mention it and ask any questions you may have about the procedure.
