How to solve all postpartum problems in one fell swoop: recovery after childbirth, complex plastics
In Russia, a complete makeover program for moms called Mommy Makeover is gaining popularity. Why and what it is, explains healthy-food-near-me.com expert, titled plastic surgeon Maxim Nesterenko.
This term, which in translation means “mommy’s transformation”, came to us from the USA. There, surgeons came up with a set of procedures to restore a woman’s body after childbirth. This complex includes plastic surgery of the breast, abdomen, liposuction and intimate plastic surgery. That is, those operations that solve all the most common problems with a figure in young mothers. The essence of such a total restyling is that all manipulations take place simultaneously: one anesthesia, one rehabilitation period, spend money once. In Europe, by the way, plastic of the face and eyelids, aesthetic dentistry were also added to this complex. That is, a completely different person comes out of the operating room.
“You need to start preparing for Mommy Makeover 6 months after the cessation of lactation or childbirth, if breastfeeding has not been done,” said healthy-food-near-me.com Maxim Nesterenko, plastic surgeon, laureate of international awards in plastic surgery. – From the moment of making a decision to undergo a range of procedures according to the program, it is better for a woman to start controlling her weight in order to avoid sharp fluctuations in body weight. You also need to make sure that there are no chronic diseases that would interfere with the operation. And, of course, it is important to enlist the support of loved ones who will help look after the children during the rehabilitation period and will charge you with their love. So the recovery will be quick and unnoticeable. “
Now we have such a procedure. But one “but” – not every clinic is ready to offer such a complex. After all, Mommy Makeover requires a very high level of professionalism from doctors. Our expert told what is included in the complex, how long to recover after it and how much this pleasure costs.
1. Restoring the shape of the breast
The operation allows:
– return the volume, as before childbirth, using the installation of implants;
– make a lift and remove the sagging of the fabric;
– to shrink the mammary glands, if they have not contracted.
One of the important factors in mammoplasty is the woman’s plans for further motherhood. On the one hand, lifting and placing implants do not affect the possibility of further lactation and do not affect the quality of breast milk. On the other hand, after refeeding, tissue sagging may reappear, and you will have to do the operation again.
But reduction mammoplasty, that is, an operation to reduce the mammary glands, leads to dysfunction of lactation. Therefore, if you plan to become a mother again, you definitely need to warn your doctor about this.
Rehabilitation period
In a week, you can already go to work. Compression underwear should be worn for a month. Sports can be practiced three months after the operation.
Price issue: an increase and a tightening – about 200-300 thousand rubles, a decrease – about 300 thousand.
2. Abdominoplasty – restoration of the shape of the abdomen
Indications:
– stretched skin;
– muscle divergence – diastasis;
– protruding navel;
– fatty deposits that persist even with diet and exercise.
Abdominoplasty is one of the most difficult operations. The surgeon works with the skin, and with the muscles, and with the fatty layer. To get the desired result, it is important to choose the right type of surgery.
1. Mini-abdominoplasty is the most gentle type of surgery. After it, only a small seam in the lower abdomen remains.
2. Endoscopic abdominoplasty – during the operation, the doctor makes several punctures on the skin, and no stitches. These two types of operations allow you to get rid of small stretch marks and muscle divergence up to 2 cm.
3. Classical abdominoplasty allows you to get rid of strong stretch marks, “apron”, large diastasis of 6 – 8 centimeters. This operation even allows you to move the navel, it can be combined with liposuction of the abdomen and sides. These areas in women are hormone-dependent and are difficult to correct through diet and exercise. In parallel, you can carry out lipofilling – a procedure when your own fat from the abdomen and sides is pumped into the buttocks. The result is a flat stomach and a Brazilian butt. The operation will require multiple incisions.
Rehabilitation period
Lasts from three months to six months. All this time, you need to wear compression underwear, refrain from exertion, avoid direct sunlight. You can go to work after two weeks, but you will be allowed to go in for sports only after a year. Liposuction and lipofilling are more gentle procedures. You can go to work as early as three days after the operation, return to sports – in a week or two.
Price issue: mini-abdominoplasty can cost from 40 thousand rubles, and the price for a classic one ranges from 150 to 400 thousand. Liposuction cost: calculated by area. One zone – 30-40 thousand rubles. Zone – the size of one palm. On the stomach – 4 zones. On the sides – 2 zones. Hips – 2 zones on each side. It turns out that the average cost of the operation is 200-250 thousand rubles. Lipofilling costs 200-300 thousand.
3. Intimate plastic
An operation that allows the vagina to be sutured is sometimes combined with hyaluronic acid injections and labia plasty. The combination of these procedures returns the woman to her previous forms and confidence in her own attractiveness. This allows you to get out of the image of “mommy”, remembering that she is also a beloved wife. But various health problems, such as, for example, incontinence, unfortunately, cannot be eliminated with the help of intimate plastics. Other specialists are engaged in this.
Rehabilitation period
For ten days you can not sit with a straight back, lift weights, play sports and take a bath. Sexual activity is prohibited for up to one and a half months.
Price issue: 50-100 thousand rubles.
