Why You Might Consider a Mommy Makeover

The breasts and abdomen are the hardest areas to restore after children.

You believe you were meant to have your children — but pregnancy has changed your body, and even though you’ve lost the baby weight, you haven’t been able to get back to the way you looked before. Two areas are especially challenging: your breasts have lost their volume and shape after nursing, and your abdomen won’t flatten no matter how much you exercise, leaving loose skin and stubborn fat. Before you give up, think again. Dustin C. Derrick, MD is the lead plastic surgeon at Cosmetic Surgery of DFW for Mommy Makeovers in Fort Worth, TX, and encourages you to learn what a Mommy Makeover can do.

Why Choose a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is recommended for mothers who need a combined approach to improve the contours of their breasts and abdomen. If you are done having children and happy with your weight, a Mommy Makeover can help when you’ve struggled to get your body back in shape. It often includes a breast procedure and a tummy tuck to eliminate unwanted fat, tighten the abdomen, and restore a beautiful bust.

Enjoy Your Children and a Beautiful Body

There’s no reason you can’t enjoy motherhood and feel great in your body. You’ll work with Dr. Derrick to choose the implant type and cup size that make you happy. During the tummy tuck, flabby skin is removed, fat is suctioned away, and your abdominal muscles are tightened with sutures — leaving you with a smoother belly and firm, full breasts.

Is Now the Right Time?

You should never rush into plastic surgery. Be at your ideal weight before considering surgery, and if you may have more children, it’s best to wait, since each pregnancy will bring similar changes again. You also need to be in good health. Dr. Derrick will help you decide if you’re a good candidate. To schedule a consultation, give us a call at (817) 562-7979.
