Bringing life into this world is incredibly joyful, but it may also come with physical challenges. Pregnancy may cause changes to a woman’s body that cannot always be resolved with a healthy diet and exercise. As a result, many women feel disconnected and unhappy with the way they look after pregnancy.
A mommy makeover in Santa Maria is an empowering way for women to take control of their bodies and restore their appearance to a state that aligns with their sense of self. This body sculpting procedure, offered by Charles Chalekson, MD, Plastic Surgery, helps women approach new motherhood more confidently.
A mommy makeover is a customizable combination of cosmetic procedures designed to address the physical changes that often occur with pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Our Santa Maria patients choose postpartum body contouring surgery to alter parts of their bodies, including:
The goals of the mommy makeover are to restore your body to its pre-pregnancy shape, improve body contours, and enhance overall self-confidence.
Mommy makeovers offer a more streamlined approach to your surgical journey. You can customize your care plan to address all your body contouring goals at once for a more efficient transformation. The components of a mommy makeover can include procedures such as:
All prospective mommy makeover patients visit our Santa Maria office for an initial consultation. Dr. Chalekson, our board-certified plastic surgeon, will ask you questions about your unique goals for the procedure and which areas of your body you would like to focus on. Dr. Chalekson will then recommend which specific procedures may be right for you and create a customized care plan.
A mommy makeover is a highly personalized procedure that can offer many benefits, but it is not right for everyone. Candidates should be in good general health without significant medical problems, as certain conditions or active infections can affect recovery. Ideal candidates are nonsmokers, as smoking can delay healing. At your initial consultation, our Santa Maria team will ask questions about your medical history and current health to determine whether a mommy makeover will be safe for you.
It is important to note that good candidates for a mommy makeover are finished with their childbearing journey, as additional pregnancies can undo the results of surgery. If you are planning to have more children, we advise you to wait until your family is complete before pursuing a mommy makeover.
Good candidates will also be at or near their ideal weight. While this procedure can help remove stubborn areas of fat and tighten skin to improve contours, it is not a weight loss surgery designed to remove significant amounts of fat. Since additional weight loss can also affect your results, you should reach a stable weight prior to pursuing this treatment.
