Mommy Makeover Plus Breast Augmentation
Most moms will agree that breastfeeding and pregnancy affect the firmness and shape of their breasts. If you consider other factors such as the natural loss of skin elasticity and the slow but sure effects of gravity, what you see are sagging and less firm breasts. Some mothers even think of them as empty socks.
Like the extra skin on your tummy, extra breast skin will slowly disappear and fatty tissue will fatten your breasts again over time. It might take up to 6 months for this process to occur; however, you can’t be sure that your breasts will return to their original size and shape the way they did before you had your first child.
Then again, breast augmentation using implants can restore your breasts by recreating their original shape and volume lost by the act of motherhood. Breast implants provide mothers who are unsatisfied with their breast size the chance to have a bigger cup size.
Breast augmentation when done as a component of a mommy makeover procedure is performed like it would be for a single procedure. Whether having breast augmentation alone or as part of mommy makeover procedure, you will still choose the same decisions about the shape, feel, placement, kind of implants and the technique of incision to be used. But there are some differences if breast augmentation is made as component of a mommy makeover.
First of all, multiple procedures performed at the same time requires a longer time for operation. It can take around 4 hours for a breast augmentation procedure to be performed depending on the skill and the technique of the surgeon. When done with a breast lift procedure and/or a tummy tuck, the procedure can take greater time and poses greater risks to complications. However, the primary advantage of getting breast augmentation together with a mommy makeover is that you get to experience only one surgery. This means less exposure to anesthesia and just one recovery period.
Be sure to get the facts first before deciding for a mommy makeover.
