In the United States the 'Mommy Makeover' It is already habitual and in Spain it begins to take force after the birth of Shakira, about which there has been talk of the presence of a plastic surgeon in the operating room.
It is an aesthetic trend that encompasses different techniques of plastic surgery after becoming a mother, such as breast augmentation or reduction, abdominal surgery to reduce excess skin and fat, and body surgery, mainly liposuction. Everything for look “great” after delivery. But what is it for you to look great?
What is being "great"?
The point is that "great" is not the same meaning for all women. There are women who look great with their sagging tits and flaccid abdomen, because they have become mothers and accept change with joy, they assume their new imperfections. It is the imprint of motherhood.
The woman's body is transformed throughout pregnancy and after giving birth. It is a change that the woman assumes so much as the belly, hips, thighs increase, as well as when after giving birth the hips widen, the belly takes months to return to be similar to what it was (or never returns to be) and the breasts are modified to breastfeed the baby.
I don't say you don't have to take care of yourself, logically we all like to look good, but as it becomes an obsession To erase the “ravages” of pregnancy and childbirth, that seems crazy to me.
'Mommy Makeover', a total renovation for mom
Makeover means in english renovation, remodeling, as if we were talking about a peeling wall that is smoothed and repainted without further ado.
As the doctors have said, and in reference to the birth of Shakira, in countries where this fashion of rebuilding after childbirth is followed “The figure of the plastic surgeon is usual as the family doctor of many women”. I imagine that the singer would have wanted the caesarean section of her abdomen to be controlled by expert eyes to make sure that it is as good as possible.
This fashion reminds me of 'realities' of television in which the participants were subjected to a integral look change. They made him lose weight if necessary, changed his style of dress, hairstyle, teeth, and included aesthetic operations such as rhinoplasty, cheek augmentation, breast, eyelid correction and other touch-ups.
The most common physical alterations of women when becoming mothers occur in the abdomen and in the breasts.
In the first case, with a tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck the distension of the abdominal muscles produced during pregnancy is corrected, while with a mastopexy the size and texture, or the elevation of the breasts is corrected. The chest, logically, undergoes changes in the distribution and location of both its fat and its glandular tissue, which can aesthetically result in a fallen and sometimes empty chest in the upper part.
Recover after delivery without surgery
It certainly takes time and effort, but recovering after childbirth is also possible without surgery. The scalpel is not the only solution to improve the appearance after giving birth, nor is it within the reach of anyone's pocket, nor does everyone want to do it.
Leading a healthy lifestyle, proper eating and exercise, is the key to recovering the figure after childbirth.
In our special Postpartum Care we have given advice to recover the area of the abdomen, chest, buttocks and hips and how to treat stretch marks.
Is it a new generation of mothers?
According to some doctors who perform these types of procedures, the 'Mommy Makeover' It consists of a series of postpartum aesthetic procedures with great satisfaction among patients.
They think that twenty years ago women did not have the possibility of reversing the effects of pregnancy, and they covered their bodies with clothes to hide them, but it is a real alternative that the new generation of mothers who want to look great even after being mothers has today.
It is true that years ago the plastic surgery It was less widespread, there would be those who resorted to it, but not as a treatment to consider for after delivery, and now it is more within reach.
Still I don't think the 'Mommy Makeover' It is a generational issue, but rather a fashion that many women add because for them their criterion of seeing “Great” after delivery is a priority that others do not have.
