Mommy Makeover vs. Non-Surgical Procedures
Pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood are both the most wonderful and challenging experiences in a woman’s life. These formative life events can change a woman’s body forever, making it difficult for her to regain the physique of her younger years. While the gift of raising a child outweighs any of the negative aspects, some women may still want to enjoy their youth a bit longer.
When it comes to choosing the right procedure, women may find themselves torn between various options. On the surgical side, there are mommy makeover procedures, which involve various surgical treatments that address issues associated with childbirth. As for non-surgical procedures, CoolSculpting and RF treatments can work wonders. Before making a decision on which treatment is best for you, it’s best to have a better understanding of how they compare.
Surgical Mommy Makeovers
A traditional mommy makeover usually involves several surgical procedures that are carried out in one session. Surgical mommy makeover procedures typically include some combination of the following procedures:
It goes without saying that surgical procedures can elicit more dramatic results. Women who have the ability to undergo a mommy makeover procedure end up looking better than they have in years. Some patients even find that they look better than they did prior to when they had children.
Nonsurgical Procedures
As surgical mommy makeover procedures can come with some pretty lengthy recovery periods, some women may prefer to avoid them. Recovering from a Mommy Makeover requires at least 2 weeks of rest (meaning no working or childcare) and at least 6 weeks of no strenuous activity (no heavy lifting or exercise). Beyond that, patients must refrain from driving while they are on pain medication.
Thankfully, women who aren’t able to take this amount of time off can still address their issues with non-surgical treatment.
EndyMed 3DEEP is a quick and simple treatment that triggers the body’s natural collagen production process. The result is firmer, more youthful skin throughout the treatment areas. As one of the most popular non-surgical body treatment options among patients and physicians, EndyMed 3DEEP helps patients achieve their cosmetic goals with minimal downtime.
There is also Profound RF, which utilizes radio frequency energy to stimulate the body and tighten the skin. This process creates natural volume, restoring fullness to areas that have seen a drop in collagen levels. Profound RF involves a specially-designed device, (known as an applicator) with a series of radio frequency energy needles that emit powerful RF energy into the dermis (deeper layers of the skin).
Beyond these options, patients can also choose to undergo chemical peels, laser treatments, and injectables (BOTOX and dermal fillers) to achieve desired changes in the face and other areas.
What Is the Takeaway?
Both surgical and nonsurgical mommy makeover procedures can have a great effect on a patient’s physique. Whichever option patients choose, the smooth contours and supple skin of years past can be achieved once again. Contact us today!
