How We Can Help You Bounce Back After Baby
According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 3.6 million babies were born in the United States in 2022. While births all these babies bring joy and build families, they also leave millions of women with less welcome side effects that range from loose bellies to sagging breasts.
As a practice that specializes in plastic surgery and aesthetics, our lead surgeon, Dr. Thomas McHugh, wants you to know that we offer many ways to bounce back after baby. In fact, we not only help women get back to their prepregnancy bodies, we can even accomplish some of your longed-for improvements over the original.
What happens to your body during pregnancy
We don’t need to tell you that your body undergoes some incredible and drastic changes when you’re pregnant. And these changes can continue through the delivery and afterward during breastfeeding.
While some lucky women can bounce right back within a few months, most are left with long-term changes, such as:
- Flabby stomachs — the skin and muscles don’t retighten after pregnancy
- Drooping or hollow breasts after breastfeeding
- Smaller breasts
- Flatter hind end
- Looser genitalia
- Extra fat that won’t come off
The good news is that we offer solutions for each of these changes in your body.
Enter the mommy makeover
If you’re not loving your post-baby body, you’re not alone. So many women seek help after the physical demands of pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding that we’ve grouped the procedures under one category — the mommy makeover.
No two women follow the exact same mommy makeover, as we tailor the treatments to your specific goals. Some of your options when it comes to the mommy makeover include:
- Breast augmentation
- Breast lift
- Breast reduction
- Tummy tuck
- Liposuction
- Buttocks augmentation (Brazilian butt lift)
- Vaginal rejuvenation
In 2023, plastic surgeons performed more than a million of these procedures combined, and it’s safe to say that many of the patients were women who wanted to erase the effects that having children had on their bodies.
Here at McHugh Plastic Surgery, we have a long history of helping women bounce back after having babies, and we’re happy to welcome you into this growing fold. We can not only get you back to your before-pregnancy body, we can also make some improvements over the original.
For example perhaps you weren’t all that pleased with your small breasts before you had children and now they’ve become small and flat after having kids. Through a mommy makeover, we can augment your breasts and give them the shape and size you’ve always longed for.
To figure out a mommy makeover that makes sense for your cosmetic goals, we invite you to come to our office in The Woodlands, Texas, and sit down with Dr. McHugh to come up with a game plan. To get that ball rolling, simply contact us today to set up a consultation.
