Should You Include Facial Rejuvenation in Your Mommy Makeover?

(Updated for 2019)

A mommy makeover is a custom set of procedures designed with your needs in mind after you’ve completed your family. Typically, mommy makeovers are associated with breast enhancement and abdominoplasty, with a focus on rejuvenating the body rather than the face.

However, many women notice signs of stress and aging in their facial appearance after they become mothers, so the right facial rejuvenation treatment included in your mommy makeover can make all the difference in your end results. At Eastern Shore Cosmetic Surgery in Fairhope, we offer surgical and nonsurgical facial rejuvenation options to address a variety of skin concerns.

BOTOX® for Dynamic Wrinkles

Dynamic wrinkles are caused by repeated muscle movements. As rewarding as having and raising children is, all those joys and sorrows over the years can contribute to the formation of dynamic wrinkles, particularly between the eyebrows or at the corners of the eyes. By using BOTOX® for crow’s feet and frown lines, you can maintain a youthful look well into motherhood.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels come in a variety of strengths, and can be used to improve overall skin texture and appearance. This noninvasive approach to facial rejuvenation uses a series of chemical peels to even out your skin tone, reduce fine lines and minimize the appearance of scarring and sunspots.

Eyelid Surgery

Drooping upper eyelid skin or puffy under-eye bags can create an appearance of being aged beyond your years. Eyelid surgery, also called blepharoplasty, can reduce excess skin and tissue around the eyes for a younger and well-rested appearance. You can complement your eyelid surgery results with BOTOX® or chemical peels for an even more comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation.

Mommy makeovers can address both your body and facial concerns. To learn more about your facial rejuvenation options, contact us online or call our Fairhope office today at (251) 929-4051 to schedule your one-on-one consultation.
