Hopping on the Yummy Mommy Program
After giving birth, taking care of the family and house, and maintaining a career, and other responsibilities, a mother deserves a self-care treat.
Why mommies deserve a mommy makeover
Whether you’re a plain housewife, career woman, or both depending on the time of day. As a mom, they multitask and get work things done while still caring for and nurturing every other member of the household. She’s both the light and foundation of the home.
Our mommies deserve a carefully planned surprise for a mommy makeover. She has the right to feel confident and look like it, too. Fitting in a workout routine and observing a healthy diet won’t cut it and won’t cut the excess fat or lift the sagging boobs.
Should you get fit first before getting a mommy makeover
Definitely…Research says…
- Recovery process is faster, so no scars and wounds disappear sooner, and you can resume doing more than light workouts or strenuous activities at work. Being fit doesn’t mean getting a gym membership or doing reps with your personal trainer, while a dietician recommends food portions to take best for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It’s combining regular exercise and a balanced diet that gets you close to your normal body mass index.
- Risks for complications will be lower, so aside from choosing an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon to guarantee a safe procedure and satisfying results, being healthy is a critical consideration. Patients whose BMI Index indicates he/she is considerably overweight are exposed to risk for infection, bleeding, and longer healing duration. Being overweight may also be linked to higher chances of being diabetic or having high blood pressure, which also factors in not achieving the intended results of the surgery or mommy makeover. Remember, a mommy makeover includes the abs, tummy, and breasts, so better safe than sorry.
- More satisfied with the results or feel like your results are more than what you paid for because you’ll look extra amazing. The most critical thing about getting fit to get as close to your ideal body weight is for your plastic surgeon to better understand your proportions and contours and set realistic expectations with regard to your barbie or Kim K goals with surgery. If you don’t want a botched surgery or look too well-made and unreal, then better hit that treadmill. Effectively tightening your abdominal area could only get as good as how much reasonable weight you’re going to lose after the procedure. Reasonable or substantial weight loss will lead to additional sagging in the chest, stomach, and surrounding areas.
Overall, assess your health choices and lifestyle issues if you want to have that mommy makeover.
If you’re still new to your fitness journey, should you still wait?
Absolutely, in order to be safe and, of course, be happier with our procedure results. How long should you wait? That depends on your drive to get to your ideal body mass index. You don’t have to join a local marathon or sprint like Usain Bolt.
Adopt a lifestyle you can maintain in the long-term and maybe step it up a notch if you can push for more. As long as there’s progress, you’re on the right track. Be smart about your workouts as well to gain quicker results. Have your warm-up or cardio, main workout sequence (resistance, strength training, or light toning), then cool down and stretch. You don’t want extra stiff muscles or back pain as a result of incorrect form or muscle contraction during exercising.
For a healthy, balanced diet, track down your macros, but more than that, you may want to search about the importance of gut health because this influences your appetite depending on glucose consumption. There are also podcasts and health guide books about it but better to consult your physician.
One wrong move is pushing for a plant-based diet right away. It doesn’t work for everyone. Meat is healthy, too, especially lean meat with leafy greens and corn on the side.
What not to do weeks before surgery or the mummy makeover?
Crash-dieting! This is a nasty attempt for extra weight loss. Store enough nutrients in your body like protein and fiber. You need your energy levels high and in sync with your mood. Worst-case scenario? Developing an eating disorder to maintain your vital statistics or be thinner.
An outburst of energy in your workouts a few days before your mummy makeover would be a bad idea, especially if you didn’t slowly train your body for it. You’re putting yourself at risk for injury, and unnecessary stress on your body pre-surgery.
Additional precautions for mommies who just recovered from childbirth or postpartum stress
Have your physician or therapist assist you in this process to assure complete recovery from pregnancy. An important detail is a considerable period of stopping breastfeeding before having a mommy makeover, as this obviously leads to sagging. Again, check your body mass index. Don’t be rough on yourself if you’ve barely achieved your desired BMI index range. Also, make sure your weight isn’t fluctuating for many months, which indicates unhealthy behaviors like losing sleep for days or skipping breakfast. Keep your weight steady on average.
No need to be as fit as a daydream to consult with a certified and trusted plastic surgeon
Okay, you’re finding out your groove in those workouts, tracking down your food consumption and keeping your cheat days on a minimum, so what’s missing?
Consulting with an experienced plastic surgeon. It’s one way to be fit and another to be ready for it. Only in the hands of a reassuring plastic surgeon.
Ask your surgeon about the four main procedures included in a mommy makeover: breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction. It’s possible that you don’t need breast augmentation because you’re satisfied with your Ds, so only the three operations. Ask your plastic surgeon about that.
Perhaps, to rid yourself of all possible queries, ask about the benefit of combining procedures aside from the money and time saved as a busy mom.
