‘What is Mommy Makeover Surgery?
Entering motherhood signifies a profound transition, bringing with it the delight of a new baby.
However, this journey also entails notable changes to your body. Pregnancy reshapes you internally and externally, as your abdomen adjusts for the fetus, your breasts may change in size or position, and you may have gained weight in various areas. The shift in your daily routine due to motherhood can also limit your ability to engage in regular workouts.
Should you wish to restore your pre-pregnancy figure, considering a Mommy Makeover may be beneficial.

Life has changed for a mother. The busy life of a mother involves taking care of the child and raising him or her up. This prevents a mother from giving long hours at the gym or consulting multiple cosmetic surgeons to get multiple surgeries done one after the other in order to get the pre-pregnancy shape.
Fortunately, under one roof and mostly in a single session Dr Adhikari can transform you to the perfect body that you desire. If you require a whole lot of surgeries then all of these may be completed in multiple sessions as per your convenience.
Pregnancy changes the female body in a unique way such that all of the changes are not constant in every patient. Therefore, unique changes in every mom needs to be addressed differently. Have a look at the various options below so that we can customize a plan for you.

This is the most common surgical procedure and removes excess skin and fat from the tummy while tightening the abdominal muscles at the same time. It also addresses any ventral hernia.
Pregnancy leads to stretching of the muscles and the overlying skin and fat of the abdomen. Following delivery, this redundancy of the skin and fat of the tummy persists to a large extent which is corrected with abdominoplasty.

Following pregnancy and breastfeeding many women would see either deflated breasts or sagging of their breasts. Both these problems can be addressed by breast augmentation and/or breast lift (mastopexy) as the need may be.
It is important however to complete breastfeeding and only then go ahead with these surgeries.

Some mothers may have an issue with excess fat in their tummy especially in areas like hips and flanks. In these patients liposuction can play a part in removal of these stubborn fat deposits.

These comprise of the following surgeries –

Vaginoplasty or Vaginal Rejuvenation – In this, the stretched vagina is addressed by resecting out excess tissue in the vagina and tightening the vaginal muscles and pelvic floor muscles thereby making the vagina firmer.

Labiaplasty – The labia majora (usually) or the labia minora (rarely) can be addressed so as to make their shape more aesthetic.

Clitoral Hood Resection – to make the clitoris look aesthetic thereby increasing sexual confidence.

Perineoplasty – to restore the structure of the perineal body and pelvic floor to increase sexual confidence.

Deflated buttocks can be a common problem after childbirth. The buttock size can be augmented with the help of implants or with the usage of fat obtained from liposuction (Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery).

Excess skin and fat sagging in the arms can be addressed by liposuction with removal of the excess skin and fat thereby leading to tightened arms.

Similarly, redundant skin and fat in the thighs can be removed using a combination of liposuction and surgical resection while concealing the incisions.
