Having kids can change a woman’s body. However, with the help of a skilled plastic surgeon in Dubai, you can get back your ideal body through a series of procedures.

It is a natural fact that a woman’s body goes through various biological changes during pregnancy and shortly after. This is because the body tends to change some of its aspects to create a better environment in readiness for the new baby. 

However, even though this is a natural phenomenon, it would be true to note that some women may not be as happy with their bodies as before pregnancy. If you fall within this category, then you’re in the right place. 

Thanks to advancements in medicine and surgery, women can now get improvements done on their bodies after pregnancy. This is done in a bid to boost the body contours and eventually give you self-confidence. 

This is all thanks to a mommy makeover, which you can get from Dr. Tarek Aesthetics, hands down one of the best plastic surgeons in Dubai. 

What is a mommy makeover?

A mommy makeover is a term used for a personalized set of cosmetic procedures designed to help women address the common effects of childbearing. This often includes procedures on the face, breasts, and body to help restore or even improve their pre-pregnancy appearance. 

Mommy makeovers in Dubai can include surgical procedures, non-surgical treatments, or a combination of both.

Why should I consider a mommy makeover?

Pregnancy can leave long-lasting, often unwanted, effects on your body and overall appearance. You may have to deal with sagging breasts, loose skin, and stretched abdominal muscles. 

These effects can possibly leave some women with low self-esteem, especially if they loved how they looked pre-pregnancy. By addressing all these ‘unwanted’ effects of pregnancy on your body, a mommy makeover gives you the appearance that you desire, making you feel more confident and happy with your body.

Breast reduction

Each patient has their own personal goals, and that’s why at Dr. Tarek Aesthetics, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Our surgeons will first assess your condition, listen to your desires, and discuss the options and approaches that you can take to get your ideal body. 

A mommy makeover seeks to address many issues, but some of the most common ones include: 

  • Correct sagging breasts
  • Restore volume to breasts
  • Repair stretched nipples
  • Remove excess (sagging) skin from the abdomen
  • Repair stretched abdominal muscles
  • Reduce exercise and diet-resistant pockets of fat

Components of a mommy makeover

The breasts and abdomen are the two primary areas of change that come with motherhood. A mommy makeover generally focuses on these two regions, with emphasis on breast and abdominal procedures. Throughout pregnancy, abdominal muscles, skin, and tissues stretch to safely accommodate the growing baby. Unfortunately, these layers may not bounce back to how they were before the pregnancy journey began.

My name is Anna and I would like to say some words of appreciation to one of the best plastic surgeon in Dubai – Dr. Tarek Bayazid. Thank you so much for doing a great new confident look for me with the mastopexy and breast augmentation. The job was done perfectly just as I wanted. You have been such a kind, supportive and caring doctor for me during all the time when I had questions and needs. I highly recommend Dr. Tarek, with him you will be in safe hands!

To achieve the pre-baby appearance, some of the most common mommy makeover components include procedures like:

Through breast augmentation, breast implants are used to restore the fullness and lost volume of the breasts. 

It is a no-brainer that your breasts will most likely sag after childbirth. A breast lift helps to ‘lift’ sagging skin on the breasts to give them a better shape and fuller appearance. 

Your breasts are also likely to grow bigger during your pregnancy. In some cases, some women can get disproportionately large, uncomfortable breasts. If this is the case, our experienced plastic surgeons in Dubai will recommend breast reduction surgery to give you a smaller, more ideal appearance. 

You can also improve your figure or body shape through added techniques like tummy tuck — also known as abdominoplasty — and liposuction. 

Dr. Tarek helped me finally achieve a sculpted & chiseled abdominal appearance. with his step by step approach, I was well prepared and did the liposuction surgery with him. I am very pleased with the results and especially with the fact that I went back to the gym in no time.

However, a mommy makeover doesn’t necessarily have to stop there. You can boost your appearance through other procedures like an arm lift (Brachioplasty). You can also opt for additional services like fillers, injection lipolysis, or a thread lift

A mommy makeover in Dubai can be done during one single operation, or for safety reasons, spread out over multiple sessions. You can discuss these options with your surgeon at Dr. Tarek Aesthetics. 

When is the best time for a mommy makeover?

Determining when to get a mommy makeover is entirely a personal decision. However, there are certain factors that you may have to consider, or as advised by your doctor, before settling on getting a mommy makeover. Some of the considerations to make include: 

  • You must be fully recovered from childbirth
  • You should wait a few months after you’re done breastfeeding if you’re looking for a breast-related procedure
  • You have to wait until you’re done breastfeeding before getting any injectables, such as fillers

Ideally, a mommy makeover is best recommended for people that do not plan on becoming pregnant again in the foreseeable future. If you plan to get another child, your surgeon will guide you on the best procedures to consider, not necessarily those involving going under the scalpel.

Many thanks to Dr. Tarek Bayazid! I have amazing Liposuction results, I really love it, my pop belly side and side folds and back, all is gone. my beautiful shape is back after my kid. I feel confident again.

Recovery and expectations

Your recovery and expectations are entirely dependent on the procedures that you undertook. You can refer above to all the individual procedures and how long they can take to heal. Your surgeon will give you the necessary instructions and prescription drugs to help make your recovery process a breeze.

Mommy makeover in Dubai: Frequently Asked Questions

Dr. Tarek advises that women wait at least a year (or longer) after they have had their last child before considering a mommy makeover. This period gives ample time for the mother to fully recover from childbirth and also should have been done with breastfeeding. 

A mommy makeover also includes a recovery period where taking care of (and lifting) babies might be difficult. You should plan for when your baby doesn’t fully need your own care, or you have someone else to take care of them for you.

You can still have children after a mommy makeover. However, this is often not recommended as you will still have to go back through the procedures after you’ve had your next child. Even if you have had a mommy makeover before, your body reacts to pregnancy, and biological changes occur throughout the body, undoing all the results from the procedures.

A mommy makeover includes all the surgical and non-surgical procedures performed by a plastic surgeon on women that have undergone pregnancy. Most of the procedures revolve around the breast and abdomen, as they are the most affected during pregnancy.

Depending on your preferences and advice from your surgeon, it can be safe to combine procedures in a mommy makeover. In fact, most patients prefer to have their mommy makeover done in a single session. This is usually because it minimizes downtime.

Scarring is an unavoidable result of any surgical procedure. However, when you get a mommy makeover from the best plastic surgeons in Dubai, you can rest assured that all the scars will be well-hidden and made virtually invisible.

The total cost of a mommy makeover in Dubai varies from one patient to another. This is because each patient’s needs are different, and so are the procedures involved.
