Mommy Makeover

Introduction to the Mommy Makeover

Mothers devote themselves wholeheartedly to their children. It all starts with the pregnancy and continues through child development, leaving the most dedicated moms with little time for themselves. The effects of pregnancy, childbirth, and breast-feeding often have a huge impact on a woman’s figure. There are also individual factors such as age and heredity that can effect how a woman regains her form following a pregnancy. To top it all off, women are having babies at a later age and returning to their careers in less time than ever before. Now, more than ever women feel the pressures of maintaining a youthful figure as a result of societal influences. Who doesn’t have the desire to look as young as they feel?

“I cannot even begin to describe how wonderful and liberating it is not to be ashamed of my body anymore. Finally it is representative of all the effort I have put into maintaining my figure after the birth of my children.

Mommy Makover Procedure Overview

A mommy makeover is designed to give mothers a more youthful yet natural overall appearance while simultaneously giving them a more positive self-image. After all, mothers want to feel beautiful too. The makeover can include a breast lift, with or without implants, tummy tuck and/or liposuction and facial rejuvenation. These procedures are intended to reduce pregnancy fat, tighten loose skin, and reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Some women may feel that a surgery to enhance their appearance seems selfish. However, we believe that feeling self-confident can benefit you and your family. Give us a call at (704) 754-8351 to schedule your consultation with Dr. Ditesheim.
