Mommy Makeover (Post-Pregnancy surgery) in Iran
Pregnancy affects many areas of the body including abdomen, waist, breasts, genitalia, and buttocks. Mommy Makeover surgery or Post-Pregnancy surgery is the best option for mothers who want to restore the shape and appearance of their body after childbearing and baby delivery.
Mommy makeover is a combination of several cosmetic procedures and techniques. Based on the individual, one or a combination of the procedures will be used to restore the pre-pregnancy body shape. The procedures may include tummy tuck, breast lift, breast augmentation, breast reduction, liposuction, buttock augmentation, and vaginal rejuvenation.
To choose the best technique and procedure your plastic surgeon considers many factors into consideration. The factors include amount of restoration, type of implant (if necessary), placement of incisions, and so on.
Things to consider before mommy makeover
It is recommended to wait at least 3 months after childbirth, and until breast feeding is over and then consider mommy makeover. If you are a mom with grown children, and do not plan to have more children, mommy makeover is an appropriate option for you.
Generally, you can consider mommy makeover in case:
• Your breast shape and size has changed negatively because of pregnancy,
• You want to get rid of your stretch marks,
• You have unpleasant sagging tummy,
• Diet and exercise are not helpful for removing pockets of fat on different parts of your body, including your waist, arms, thighs, or abdomen, and
• You want to return to your pre-pregnancy youthful-looking body shape and appearance.
It should be noted that it is more beneficial to schedule a combination of mommy makeover procedures, rather than separate ones. One of the benefits of having a combination of mommy makeover procedures is one anesthesia and one recovery period.
Procedural information
Mommy makeover includes several cosmetic procedures. Before the surgery, consult with your surgeon and talk about your expectations. Your surgeon then will decide which of the following procedures is suitable for your situation.
Tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty): Aging, pregnancy, and significant weight fluctuations, cause loose or sagging skin and protruding abdomen even to individuals with healthy normal weight.
Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, is a very common plastic surgery that aims to fatten the stomach and remove excess fat and skin in the abdominal area especially under navel (belly button). Abdominoplasty:
• Helps to restore weakened abdominal muscles
• Helps to tighten muscles
• Creates firm and smooth stomach
DO NOT consider tummy tuck if:
• You plan to get pregnant (again). In this case, postpone tummy tuck until you're done having babies. And, if
• You are planning to lose a lot of weight.
Liposuction (lipoplasty): Body sculpting and Liposuction, are two very common cosmetic surgeries aiming to remove fat cells from body. Liposuction can be applied to a fairly high number of areas of the body. That is why it is so popular. Here is a list of the most popular liposuction surgeries:
• Liposuction for arm
• Liposuction for double chin,
• Liposuction for thighs, and
• Liposuction for stomach
Liposuction is the best option for moms who want to improve the contour of their hips and flanks. It is highly recommended to perform tummy tuck and liposuction at the same time to get the best result.
Breast lift (mastopexy): Many women who have sagging breasts or nipples pointing downward, choose to undergo a breast lift, also known as Mastopexy. Breast lift is also practical when one of your breasts falls lower than the other. The aim of this surgery is to reshape your breasts, and remove extra breast tissue and raise the breasts. It also helps you to boost your self-image and self-confidence.
It is noted that a breast lift will not significantly change the size of your breasts. However, if you want to lift your breasts AND change their size, you can consider a breast lift with a breast augmentation or reduction to have shapely breasts.
It is noted that if you are considering pregnancy at any point in the future, it is better to postpone your breast lift, as pregnancy counterbalances the results of breast lift. However, breast feeding is usually possible after a breast lift.
Breast reduction: Breast reduction surgery benefits are numerous. That’s why many women choose Breast Reduction Surgery, also known as Reduction Mammoplasty, to achieve a breast size proportionate to their body, improve their self-image, and improve their ability to participate in physical activities.
Breast reduction can resolve issues such as skin irritation under breasts, nerve pain, restricted activity, chronic back and neck and shoulder pain, difficulty fitting into bras and clothing.
It is noted that breast reduction is not recommended for:
• very obese people,
• people with diabetes,
• people with heart disease,
• smokers, and
• women who are planning for pregnancy.
It should be noted that breast reduction surgery in Iran is highly ideal for people seeking surgeries abroad. Among the reasons are highly competitive prices, highly skillful surgeons, and modern hospitals and clinics. Here at Alaedin Travel for every surgery we also offer all-inclusive packages including visa, hotel, transfer, sim card, doctor appointments and everything that is needed for a desirable surgery abroad.
Breast augmentation (augmentation mammoplasty): Female breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, or boob job, is a common surgical procedure to increase fullness, and balance the figure of women's breasts.
It is noted that breast augmentation can help you:
• Improve your self-confidence,
• Correct uneven breasts,
• Enhance your appearance in case you think your breasts are too small or one of them is smaller than the other, and
• Adjust for a reduction in the size of your breasts after pregnancy.
Breast augmentation can be achieved through silicone implants, saline implants, or fat grafting.
Breast lift combined with breast augmentation: Breast lift combined with breast augmentation is recommended when you want to make your breasts less droopy and keep them round.
Stretch mark removal: Pregnancy, or weight loss and weight gain, make the skin stretch more quickly than normal. It happens because pulling on the dermis makes the collagen weaker, and as a result skin breaks down, and stretch marks appear. Laser skin-resurfacing treatments is the most appropriate treatment for reducing stretch marks.
Butt lift: Butt lift aims to improve the shape and appearance of buttocks that are small, sagging, or asymmetrical. It is noteworthy that Brazilian Butt Lift surgery in Iran is very popular, and the procedure attracts many people from around the world to Tehran, as our plastic surgeons are highly qualified, and have many years of expertise in performing cosmetic surgeries.
You are a good candidate for butt lift if:
• Your buttock skin is sagging or loose and has lost its elasticity,
• You want to have a firm butt with a pleasing look,
• You want to add volume to your backside,
• You have tried to enhance the shape of your butt by exercise or nutrition and you have not achieved your desired goal, and
• You have undergone a dramatic weight loss and suffer from extra sagging skin in your backside.
Vaginal Rejuvenation: Vaginoplasty and labioplasty are two common procedures to rejuvenate and reconstruct your vaginal area. The aim of vaginoplasty is to tighten up loose vagina after childbirth or as a result of aging. It can be combined with labiaplasty, which aims to modify the size or shape of the labia, creating symmetry between the lips.
Mommy Makeover Recovery Time
Depending on the number of procedures performed, mommy makeover recovery time varies for every individual.
It is normal to experience swelling and soreness during the first few days after the surgery. During mommy makeover recovery you should keep your physical activity to a minimum. It is also necessary to avoid lifting heavy things within a month after mommy makeover surgery.
Mommy Makeover Price
The cost of mommy makeover depends on the number of the procedures you need to undergo. Most patients need to get a breast lift together with abdominoplasty and/or liposuction. Generally the cost of mommy makeover in Iran starts from around $4,500 and goes up to $7,000.
