What is maternal make-up?
Giving birth to a child is one of the most miraculous and beautiful things in the world, but it also causes many changes on the body. For many mothers, a strict diet and exercise can help combat excess fat accumulation, but diet and exercise may not be enough to lift saggy breasts and skin. A number of plastic surgery procedures can help correct aesthetic problems that may occur in the mother's body after pregnancy and childbirth. We can consider this as a makeover for the mother. These procedures vary from person to person depending on the needs of mothers.
Who is a suitable candidate for mother makeover?
Sagging breasts that do not recover with diet and exercise after pregnancy and childbirth People with decreased fullness, excess abdominal fat and skin, stretch marks and looseness in the abdominal muscles, and mothers who have persistent fat accumulations or that are difficult to lose are good candidates for this procedure. In addition, suitable candidates must be physically healthy, non-smokers and have realistic expectations.
How is mother make-up applied?
Make-up to be applied to the mother may include two or more of the following surgeries. may include:
Breast augmentation; It reshapes the shape and volume of the breasts.
Breast lift; It corrects sagging breasts.
Abdominoplasty; reduces excess abdominal skin and repairs loosened abdominal muscles.
Liposuction; It reduces stubborn excess fat in various parts of the body.
In addition, facial rejuvenation can be achieved with non-surgical beauty methods. Your plastic surgeon will review the most suitable options for you during the initial evaluation. While most patients prefer more than one procedure in a single surgery, another option may be to spread the procedures over more than one surgery.
What are the scars?
As plastic surgeons, , we know the importance of cosmetic results. We make every effort to optimize the scar size and hide it in the least visible area. In breast surgery, circular and submammary folds are made around the areola (the colored part around the nipple). There is a scar in the form of a vertical line extending across the skin. In abdominal surgery, it is located in the lower part of the abdomen (in the area that matches the cesarean section scar, but is longer). This wound is usually hidden by underwear. A scar will also be located around the navel.
This scar formation varies between individuals and is highly dependent on the person's genetic predisposition. Scars usually fade gradually over time, but their final size and color are difficult to predict.
How is the recovery period? How much rest is required? When can you resume exercise?
The operating area is covered with a protective dressing. For a comfortable post-surgery and good results, it would be appropriate to rest after the procedure. During the first few days after surgery, there may be pain and swelling that responds to medications. Although it varies depending on the surgery performed, most patients can return to work within 1 to 2 weeks. During the recovery period, strenuous physical activities such as heavy lifting and pulling movements should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks after surgery.
What are the complications of the surgery?
Complications are the same as in other cosmetic procedures. It is rare and may include scarring, asymmetry, bleeding, infection, poor wound healing, swelling and numbness. Some of these complications may require additional surgical procedures. Your plastic surgeon will give detailed information about the expected results, including possible complications.
When will we see the final results of the surgery?
Surgery results will be seen immediately after the procedure. It will continue to heal over time as the swelling decreases. The incisions usually heal within 2 weeks, and swelling and bruising disappear. Small amounts of unnoticeable swelling may persist for several months after surgery. Final contour and scar results last at least 6 months after surgery.
