This combination of plastic surgery techniques got its nickname because it caters to mothers. You don’t need to be a mom to book your mommy makeover in Toronto, but the reason people love it is that it addresses cosmetic concerns many women have after childbearing.

One reason it’s so popular is that a mommy makeover can include just about anything you want. Here, we’ll outline some of the most important facts and features of this whole body reshaper.A Toronto mommy makeover will usually treat breasts and belly. Because these body areas tend to grow and stretch immensely during pregnancy and breastfeeding, it’s common for the skin to remain sagging, deflated and permanently altered. The abdominal muscles will often stay somewhat separated which is known as diastasis recti. Breasts may sag and shrink.You can choose to add multiple procedures together. These include, but are not limited to:  a tummy tuck, breast augmentation with implants, breast lift, liposuction and labiaplasty.This is an outpatient procedure. Your plastic surgeon will use a general anaesthetic to keep you asleep during surgery, but when you wake you can return home to recover in comfort and privacy.You’ll need to take a minimum of two weeks off. The recovery time and restrictions will vary depending on your specific surgical plan. Count on being unable to physically exert yourself much for a few weeks.You will need help at home. That could mean extra child or pet care, hiring a cleaner or someone to run errands.Your swelling may last for several months. The most dramatic inflammation resolves within a few weeks, but the total recovery will require patience.You’ll need to avoid lifting anything- including children. This instruction is challenging for many moms to follow. Talk with your surgeon about your post-op restrictions and when you’ll be cleared to use those muscles again.You’ll have a good reason to pause the gym membership. You can’t work out for some time after a mommy makeover in Toronto, but rest assured that eventually when you get back to it, you’ll look fabulous and feel even better.Some changes won’t be possible for your figure with nutrition and exercise alone. Many women work very hard to shed the baby weight and diet down to a preferred dress size after having babies. The problem with stretched skin and muscles is that they can’t retract on their own. Also, breast tissue is typically comprised of significant fat so when women diet, they often lose breast volume too.If you’ve been struggling to get back in shape and you’ve hit a wall, it might be time to consider the cosmetic body makeover designed for moms.
