A mommy makeover is a transformative surgical procedure designed to address the physical changes in a woman's body following pregnancy and childbirth. This comprehensive approach typically involves a combination of procedures such as breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction to restore a woman's pre-pregnancy figure. But while the surgical aspect of a mommy makeover is crucial, the role of fitness and nutrition in the recovery process cannot be overstated. At Eisemann Plastic Surgery Center in Houston, our board-certified plastic surgeons, Dr. Michael Eisemann and Dr. Bradley Eisemann emphasize the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including exercise and nutrition, before and after a mommy makeover to enhance and prolong the results.
Preparing for a Change
Before undergoing a mommy makeover, we prepare our clients to begin prioritizing their fitness and nutrition. Regular physical activity and following a well-balanced diet can contribute to overall health and well-being, positively impacting the surgical outcome. Maintaining a healthy weight and muscle tone can optimize your body's ability to heal and recover after surgery. Additionally, a nutritious diet rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can support the body's healing process and reduce the risk of complications during recovery.
A New Routine
Following a mommy makeover, this lifestyle change becomes even more important. Here, fitness and nutrition become even more critical in achieving long-lasting results. While it is natural to be eager to see the outcome of their surgical transformation, it is essential to approach the recovery period with patience and dedication to healthy habits. Regular exercise, tailored to your specific postoperative restrictions, can help improve circulation, promote healing, and prevent muscle atrophy. Furthermore, a balanced diet that includes adequate protein, healthy fats, and a variety of fruits and vegetables can support your body's repair and regeneration processes, leading to optimal recovery and enhanced surgical outcomes.
Long Term Benefits
But best of all, incorporating fitness and nutrition into the recovery phase of a mommy makeover can also have long-lasting benefits. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and mindful eating habits, can help maintain your surgical results for years to come. And, of course, physical activity can help prevent weight gain and muscle loss, preserving the contours achieved through the mommy makeover procedures. Similarly, a nutrient-rich diet can support skin health, muscle integrity, and overall well-being, contributing to the longevity of the surgical enhancements.
