Motherhood is a sacred journey for many women, but no matter how happy she is with her newly expanded family, she may not embrace the changes to her appearance. Pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing can alter the shape and size of the breasts, distort the lower body, and accelerate the signs of aging.
What are the risks associated with a mommy makeover?
Risks from this procedure include infection, bleeding, anesthesia risks, hematoma, temporary numbness, scarring, poor wound healing, and poor cosmetic results. Breast surgery carries with it the risk of capsular contracture and implant rupture.
Can I have more children after a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover does not affect your ability to birth additional children. However, another pregnancy can compromise your aesthetic results, so Dr. Alizadeh strongly suggests you postpone your procedure if you expect to get pregnant within the next few years. If you have a mommy makeover and then get pregnant in the future, Dr. Alizadeh can perform revision procedures to help you maintain your figure.
Will I lose sensation in my nipples after the breast lift?
