Beyond Traditional Approaches to Postpartum Rejuvenation
Pregnancy and childbirth represent remarkable journeys that transform a woman’s life, both emotionally and physically. While bringing new life into the world is miraculous, many mothers struggle with lasting physical changes that affect both their appearance and quality of life.
At Aguirre Specialty Care in Denver, Dr. Oscar A. Aguirre has pioneered a more comprehensive solution: The Real Mommy Makeover™.
What Sets The Real Mommy Makeover™ Apart
Unlike traditional mommy makeovers that focus primarily on breast enhancement and tummy tucks, The Real Mommy Makeover™ addresses a woman’s entire body from breasts to vagina. This revolutionary approach acknowledges that motherhood’s physical impact extends beyond what’s visible in a mirror; it includes intimate wellness concerns that are often overlooked but critically important to a woman’s overall confidence and comfort.
As Dr. Aguirre, a board-certified and fellowship-trained urogynecologist with over 20 years of experience explains, “The Real Mommy Makeover™ fulfills a need among women to reclaim their pre-pregnancy vitality.” His extensive training in pelvic medicine enables him to address concerns that most plastic surgeons cannot.
Comprehensive Components of Total Body Rejuvenation
Complete Feminine Restoration
The Real Mommy Makeover™ includes specialized treatments for:
- Vaginal looseness through vaginoplasty, which tightens the vagina and enhances friction during intimacy
- Enlarged or elongated labia corrected through labiaplasty
- Decreased vaginal sensation improved with the O-Shot® or Viveve® Treatment
- Urinary or fecal incontinence treated with advanced urogynecologic techniques
- Vaginal prolapse repaired through specialized surgical approaches
Traditional Body Contouring Elements
Alongside intimate rejuvenation, The Real Mommy Makeover™ addresses visible body changes with:
- Abdominal recontouring through tummy tuck procedures to repair separated muscles and remove excess skin
- Targeted fat removal using SmartLipo™, VASER® LipoSelection, or LipoLife for stubborn fat deposits
- Skin tightening treatments for improved texture and elasticity
- Breast enhancement options including the non-surgical Vampire Breast Lift® or coordinated care with board-certified plastic surgeons for surgical options
Who Makes an Ideal Candidate?
The perfect candidate for The Real Mommy Makeover™ is typically:
- In good general health
- Has completed her family (though not strictly required)
- Is looking for comprehensive restoration rather than just cosmetic improvement
- Has specific concerns about intimate health alongside aesthetic goals
Dr. Aguirre’s specialized approach is particularly valuable for women experiencing:
- Urinary stress incontinence
- Decreased sensation during intimacy
- Discomfort from labial tissues
- Pelvic organ prolapse symptoms
- Self consciousness about intimate appearance
The Real Mommy Makeover™ Recovery Experience
Recovery varies based on your customized treatment plan, but patients should generally:
- Plan for a few weeks of rest at home before returning to normal activities
- Allow up to six weeks to feel fully recovered
- Expect one comprehensive recovery period rather than multiple healing phases
- Follow detailed post-procedure care instructions from Dr. Aguirre’s team
A key advantage of The Real Mommy Makeover™ is that multiple procedures can typically be performed simultaneously, creating one recovery period rather than several separate healing phases.
Investment in Your Complete Wellbeing
The Real Mommy Makeover™ represents a significant but valuable investment in long term quality of life. Aguirre Specialty Care provides “all-inclusive fee” pricing that encompasses:
- Time with physician
- Anesthesia costs
- Surgical facility fees
Financing options are available to make this life-changing transformation accessible for qualified patients.
Understanding the Physical Impact of Motherhood
The female body undergoes remarkable changes during pregnancy and childbirth that extend far beyond what meets the eye. While the visible changes are often addressed in traditional cosmetic procedures, the internal and functional changes deserve equal attention.
The Overlooked Postpartum Challenges
Many women experience significant pelvic floor weakening after childbirth, which can lead to a cascade of symptoms that affect daily life:
- Urinary incontinence: That unexpected leakage when laughing, coughing, or exercising becomes more than just an occasional embarrassment. It can restrict activities and reduce quality of life.
- Sexual dysfunction: Decreased sensation during intimacy affects both pleasure and emotional connection and relationship satisfaction. Many women silently struggle with this issue, believing it’s simply “the price of motherhood.”
- Pelvic organ prolapse: When the supportive structures of the pelvis weaken, organs can begin to descend, creating uncomfortable pressure, difficulty with elimination, and even pain during physical activities.
- Labial changes: Enlarged or asymmetrical labia can cause physical discomfort during activities and self consciousness during intimacy.
These physical changes often arrive alongside the emotional adjustments of motherhood, creating a perfect storm that can erode self-confidence precisely when women are adjusting to their new identity.
The Psychological Benefits of Comprehensive Rejuvenation
The Real Mommy Makeover™ recognizes that physical restoration has profound psychological benefits. Women who have undergone comprehensive rejuvenation often report:
- Renewed confidence: When intimate concerns are addressed alongside aesthetic ones, women experience a more complete sense of restoration.
- Improved body image: The disconnect between how a woman feels inside and how her body functions and appears can create significant distress. Addressing both visible and functional concerns helps rebuild body trust.
- Enhanced quality of life: The freedom from physical symptoms like incontinence or discomfort during activities translates directly to improved daily living.
- Strengthened relationships: Improved physical comfort during intimacy, combined with renewed confidence, often strengthens connection with partners.
Making Informed Decisions About Your Restoration Journey
While the benefits of comprehensive rejuvenation are clear, making the decision to pursue these procedures requires careful consideration. Here are important factors to weigh:
Timing Considerations
Most surgeons recommend waiting until:
- You’ve completed breastfeeding for at least 3-6 months
- Your weight has stabilized (usually 6-12 months postpartum)
- Your hormone levels have normalized
- You’ve given your body time to heal naturally
For many women, the ideal window falls somewhere between 12-18 months after childbirth, though this varies based on individual circumstances.
Family Planning Implications
While it’s physically possible to have more children after undergoing The Real Mommy Makeover™, subsequent pregnancies will likely compromise your results. Most women choose to wait until their family is complete before pursuing comprehensive restoration, but this is ultimately a personal decision based on your life circumstances and priorities.
Setting Realistic Expectations
The goal of The Real Mommy Makeover™ isn’t to erase all evidence of motherhood or to return to an idealized pre-pregnancy state. Rather, it’s about addressing specific concerns that impact comfort, function, and confidence. The best results come when patients have clear, specific goals rather than general desires to “look like before.”
Reclaiming Your Complete Self
The Real Mommy Makeover™ represents a profound understanding that motherhood’s physical toll requires a complete approach to restoration. By combining aesthetic enhancement with intimate wellness procedures, this revolutionary approach honors the complete female experience after childbirth.
Mothers deserve to feel confident and comfortable in every aspect of their bodies. If pregnancy and childbirth have left you feeling disconnected from your pre-baby self, The Real Mommy Makeover™ offers a path to comprehensive restoration that addresses your body’s visible and intimate needs.
