History
The term “mommy makeover” (literally – the transformation of moms) appeared in the United States.
It was there that plastic surgeons first offered women a comprehensive recovery after childbirth. The essence of total restyling is that the procedures are carried out simultaneously, which reduces the financial and time costs of the patient.
Mommymakeover has much bigger benefits.
- First, this approach saves money. Because the cost of any operation usually includes the price of preoperative preparation, anesthesia, and hospital stay. When restyling you pay once, the total cost is reduced.
- Secondly, anesthesia is performed once, which reduces the risk of negative effects of drugs on the body.
- Thirdly, if you perform several procedures at the same time, then the young mother only once for a short period falls out of the usual rhythm of life during the recovery period, and the level of stress is lower.
