You love the new little bundle of joy in your life – but sometimes you can’t help but miss your old body. It’s a perfectly normal way to feel; after all, it can be difficult to whittle down your waistline after pregnancy. Plus, breastfeeding can take its toll on the breasts, making it hard to regain the volume you had both before and during your pregnancy.
While you wouldn’t trade your baby for anything in the world, your body has gone through major changes with pregnancy and you’re wondering if there is anything you can do about it.
That’s why more women are interested in undergoing a Mommy Makeover, which is a type of surgical procedure designed to reshape the stomach and rejuvenate the breasts. A Mommy Makeover typically involves a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), liposuction, and/or a breast augmentation or breast lift.
Many patients come with this question in mind: How long after my baby should I wait to have a Mommy Makeover procedure?
Sometimes the question isn’t about the length of time, but more about if you plan on having children again. New moms who aren’t sure if they’re done growing their family should hold off on having a Mommy Makeover, as they’ll simply need to undergo the procedure again after the next baby to retain their results.
If you’re done growing your family, it’s recommended that you undergo a Mommy Makeover procedure at least six months after you’ve finished breastfeeding your baby.
