While being a mother is a gift in itself, what motherhood does to your body might feel like quite the opposite. With Mother\u2019s Day just around the corner, those of us at Dr. Lenny\u2019s<\/a> office feel that women who are unhappy with the effects motherhood had on their body should opt for a mommy makeover. Whether you want to treat yourself or treat a mother you know, a mommy makeover<\/a> is the best Mother\u2019s Day gift you could give to someone or yourself.<\/p>\n One of the first changes that take place in the body due to motherhood is changes to the breasts. During pregnancy, breastfeeding and after weaning, you may notice a change in the shape and size of your breasts. These changes may be only slight changes or they can even be dramatic. It really depends on genetics, hormones, and weight gain and weight loss. Once your child is born, your breasts will increase in size due to the increase in milk supply. As long as you are producing milk, your breasts will be larger than usual.<\/p>\n Once you stop breastfeeding and begin the weaning process, your breasts will start to change again. Your milk supply will decrease which will cause your breasts to look and feel less full. It may take anywhere to 6 months for your breasts to decrease to their pre-pregnancy appearance. However, it\u2019s possible that they don\u2019t go back to how they were at all. Your breasts may seem smaller, softer, larger, saggy or even covered in stretch marks.\u00a0 While these changes are normal, you may feel sad and miss the breasts you used to have.<\/p>\n Other changes that occur in your body due to pregnancy changes to the abdomen. Since you carry your child in your abdomen, your abdomen will expand quite a bit during pregnancy. This can result in your abdominal muscles feeling less tight than they were before pregnancy. This is because your muscles had to stretch so much to accommodate your growing child. The muscles may never return to their original position. In addition, you may also find that your stomach skin is looser because of pregnancy. Not to mention, your stomach may possibly develop stubborn fat deposits in your stomach that you find difficult to lose through diet and exercise alone.<\/p>\n In addition to stubborn fat deposits in your abdomen, these can also develop in your hips, thighs or the sides of your torso, resulting in a \u201cmuffin top\u201d or \u201clove handles.\u201d These areas may also have new stretch marks from the pregnancy. These stubborn fat deposits are difficult to lose with diet and exercise alone and may never go away in your entire life. Fortunately, all of these different changes that happen to your body from pregnancy can actually be resolved with a mommy makeover from your Miami plastic surgeon. This Mother\u2019s Day, treat yourself or a mom in your life to a mommy makeover to help her regain back her pre-pregnancy body! Not only will she look great, but it will also help her feel more confident in herself.<\/p>\nMotherhood\u2019s Changes to the Breasts<\/h2>\n
