physical changes arose even without having children, can a woman still get a Mommy Makeover?
The simple answer is YES.
Having children is not a requirement to get a Mommy Makeover. Any woman experiencing unwanted physical changes can benefit from it. Cosmetic surgery procedures included in a Mommy Makeover can be individually available to any patient or may be combined depending on their specific needs and goals without having to call it a Mommy Makeover.
Why Do Women Who Do Not Have Children Get A Mommy Makeover?
Pregnancy and childbirth are not the only circumstances that can trigger physical changes in a woman’s body. Other factors can also cause similar aesthetic issues and leave any woman unhappy with the way she looks and feels. These factors are:
1. Weight Gain and/or Loss
Fluctuations in weight depend on food intake, physical activities, and metabolism efficiency. Eating more calories than what the body burns lead to weight gain while any energy deficit due to eating fewer calories or increased physical activity that burns more calories results in weight loss. These instances both result to notable physical changes, such as increased body size due to unwanted fat (weight gain) and excess and sagging skin (weight loss).
2. Hormones
Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate the majority of body functions. Hormonal imbalance causes distinct changes in the body such as weight gain or loss, vaginal changes including dryness and loss of elasticity, and breast changes that include sagging and nipple displacement.
3. Aging
Aging is a natural process that generates changes throughout the body. Its effects involve fat and tissue loss in the breasts, loss of skin elasticity, increased body fat, and even vaginal changes including loss of vaginal shape and elasticity.
4. Inactivity or Lack of Exercise
A sedentary lifestyle affects body shape, size, and composition.
Inactivity leads to loss of muscle mass. Muscle mass is responsible for effective calorie burning, so its loss leads to increased fat storage, hence, weight gain.
5. Genetic Make-up
Genes play a primary role in determining physical appearance, including body shape and size, the quality of skin, and the amount of body fat stored in the body. It also influences how the body responds to external and internal factors, such as exercise, diet, pregnancy, and aging.
Now, it is important to understand that the body is a structure designed to adapt to any form of changes so it can serve a specific purpose. However, this should not hinder any woman from wanting to improve her appearance and form as well as boost her confidence.
A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon* can help any woman determine the Mommy Makeover procedures that can help address her aesthetic concerns and needs as well as her goals. With the expert advice and excellent care of a board-certified plastic surgeon, any combination of cosmetic and reconstructive surgical procedures can provide satisfying and lasting results and help improve a woman’s self-esteem and well-being.
