Top 5 Reasons to Consider a Mommy Makeover

Five reasons mothers choose a mommy makeover to look and feel like themselves again.

Being pregnant and giving birth is a beautiful, miraculous event — but the process can change your body in ways that are difficult to reverse on your own, such as belly pooches, elasticity loss, and sagging breasts. Many mothers consider a mommy makeover to target these changes and restore their confidence. Dustin C. Derrick, MD is the lead plastic surgeon at Cosmetic Surgery of DFW for mommy makeovers in Fort Worth, TX. Here are the top reasons to consider one.

1. You Sacrificed Your Body

When you become pregnant, you do everything necessary to keep your baby strong and healthy — spending nine months (and often longer, if you breastfeed) giving of yourself and your nutrients. After being so selfless for so long, it’s time to give something back to yourself.

2. Your Body Went Through Uncontrollable Changes

You may have decided to have a baby, but you don’t get to decide how your body responds. Even with a healthy diet and exercise, your abdominal muscles must stretch to accommodate a growing baby, often leaving a pooch that’s very difficult to get rid of, and breasts commonly lose elasticity and volume after nursing. A mommy makeover can help correct these changes.

3. Everyone Has the Right to Look and Feel Amazing

Having a baby shouldn’t take away your right to look and feel great. Every woman is entitled to feeling confident in her body. When exercise alone can’t address specific problem areas from carrying a child, a mommy makeover can help you restore your body — and your confidence along with it.

4. You Dedicate Your Time to Your Family

Moms devote so much time, love, and energy to everyone else that there’s rarely much time left for themselves. When you consider how much you do for others, it’s worth giving some of that care back to yourself.

5. When You’re Happy, the People Around You Are Happier

When you feel good about your body, you feel good about yourself — bringing a positive outlook and attitude that can be wonderfully contagious.
