Non-surgical Mommy Makeover: How is It Done?
Pregnancy and childbirth are amazing things that your body, as a woman, can do. They are miracles of life that can significantly alter your appearance.
Pregnancy and childbirth can stretch your belly, potentially affect your skin health, including acne, increase hair loss, and strain your pelvic floor and vagina, especially during vaginal birth.
These bodily changes can affect your self-esteem and self-image, making you concerned about your figure.
If you want to return to your pre-pregnancy physique, cosmetic procedures can help you, known as a mommy makeover.
What is a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover typically includes cosmetic procedures targeting the breasts, abdomen, waist, genitalia, and buttocks.
These procedures are performed by a specialist plastic surgeon, which helps reduce the risk of complications. Some of the most commonly performed procedures in a mommy makeover are:
- Breast Augmentation
- Breast Lift
- Brazilian Butt Lift
- Liposuction
- Tummy Tuck
A mommy makeover can typically be performed once a woman is medically cleared, usually at least six months after giving birth, to ensure the body has had sufficient time to heal.
Are there non-surgical ways to go for a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover can include both surgical and non-surgical procedures and, understandably, not many women may not be so open to the idea of it.
However, that does not mean you cannot achieve your pre-pregnancy body. There are also Non-surgical procedures involved in mommy makeovers.
If you are concerned about undergoing a surgical procedure but want to achieve the same results, a minimally invasive or non-surgical mommy makeover might be the right choice.
Non-surgical Mommy Makeover Procedures
Like traditional mommy makeover procedures, these procedures focus on the problem areas and aim to improve the patient’s appearance and give them a youthful glow.
The most commonly performed Non-surgical mommy makeover procedures include:
Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation
Childbirth strains and stretches your vagina, often resulting in laxity of the vagina. It can also separate your vaginal skin from the underlying muscles.
To repair your vagina without undergoing a surgical procedure, you can opt for a laser vaginal rejuvenation.
For this procedure, a laser probe will be inserted into your vagina.
This is done to treat your vagina with short, controlled laser energy, which stimulates collagen growth in your vaginal skin.
Increased collagen helps improve the structural stability of the vaginal skin and it also increases elastin production, hence improving elasticity.
It is an incision-free, non-surgical method of repairing your vaginal laxity or looseness.
Exilis Ultra
Pregnancy stretches your uterus and, consequently, your skin to accommodate the growing fetus. After childbirth, this stretched skin can be full of stretch marks and tend to sag, ruining your aesthetics. Depending on the extent of sagginess, the surgical solution is to undergo a tummy tuck, either traditional or mini.
However, you can now undergo an Exilis Ultra procedure to help reduce skin laxity.
This procedure exposes your problem areas to ultrasound and radiofrequency waves. This exposure affects the collagen fibers in your skin, causing them to contract and shorten. Eventually, your body produces even more collagen.
These procedures aim to increase collagen in the body, which can help tighten skin and reduce sagging.
Micro-Needling with PRP
As mentioned above, stretch marks are a hallmark of pregnancy. They can occur anytime when your skin is expanded rapidly and significantly, like in pregnancy.
Their appearance can be an eyesore or a happy reminder of your pregnancy. Whether you decide to remove them or keep them is entirely your choice.
If you want to reduce the appearance of your stretch marks, microneedling with PRP is the perfect Non-surgical method. Microneedling creates microchannels in your skin that stimulate collagen production and healing.
The procedure’s effects are further exaggerated by using PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, extracted from the patient’s body. This plasma contains several components required for skin healing.
Cryolipolysis
Weight gain is yet another common but unwanted side effect of pregnancy and losing weight seems like an impossible task.
If you have stubborn fat that will not go away, consider cryolipolysis. This non-surgical treatment breaks down fat in your body.
Exposing your fat cells to extreme cold during cryolipolysis can cause them to undergo a natural death process known as apoptosis; cryolipolysis involves controlled cooling and may include some heat to protect the skin.
In the cryolipolysis procedure, your fat cells will be exposed to extreme cold, which causes them to undergo cell death, resulting in fat reduction in treated areas.
