AIVA – Combining Health and Beauty
For many parents, having a child is the greatest source of happiness and an enormous enrichment of their lives. However, pregnancy can also leave significant marks on the body, which many women find difficult to bear. Pregnancy and breastfeeding often change the shape of the stomach and breasts, which do not always return to their original shape despite a healthy diet and exercise. Sometimes the belly simply will not become flat again and the breasts lose volume. In addition, rectus diastasis, i. e. a separation of the abdominal muscles often occurring after pregnancy, can lead to a visible bulge in the abdomen.
Women who feel uncomfortable due to these physical changes can gain new self-confidence with a mommy makeover at AIVA in Berlin.
But what is a mommy makeover, exactly? At our Berlin institute, the procedure can include breast reshaping, tummy tuck and other specific corrections to the after-baby body – depending on what you desire. You can focus on one specific aspect or chose a 360 degree makeover. This is not a one-size-fits-all solution to get back in shape as quickly as possible after pregnancy and childbirth and achieve the supposedly ‘perfect body’. Instead, it is about a personalised procedure tailored to your needs with the aim of making you feel comfortable in your own body again.
Our offer is aimed at women who suffer from changes to their body after pregnancy and childbirth and want to counteract these changes. However, anyone considering a mommy makeover should be aware that the treatment at AIVA in Berlin is not intended as a quick fix or a substitute for losing weight if you are a plus size. Rather, it is a comprehensive process that also includes a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
During the initial consultation, we will discuss all possible contraindications and clarify whether the treatment is suitable for you or whether alternatives should be considered.
The right time for treatment at our Berlin institute varies from woman to woman. In general, however, we recommend waiting at least six months after giving birth to give the body enough time to recover. In addition, breastfeeding should be completed and the pregnancy weight significantly reduced in order to achieve optimum results.
Before the actual mommy makeover at our institute in Berlin starts, we will take plenty of time for a consultation and anamnesis with you. We will inform you in detail about the various treatment options, discuss the most suitable procedure for you and the associated costs. It is very important for us to understand your exact wishes and answer all your questions. You are also welcome to bring your partner or another trusted person with you to the consultation. We will then draw up a personalised treatment plan for you.
At AIVA in Berlin, we usually perform mommy makeover operations under general anaesthetic. Depending on the extent of the treatment, the process takes around four to five hours. After the procedure, an overnight stay at our clinic is usually recommended. If there are no complications, you can go home afterwards. We monitor the further healing process at regular check-ups at our premises.
Slight bruising and swelling are unavoidable in the first few days after the procedure. Wound pain and a feeling of tension in the stitched area can be treated well with painkillers. After the operation, we will apply a compression corset in addition to the wound dressing, which you will have to wear for four to six weeks.
As a rule, you will be able to return to work around 10 to 14 days after surgery. However, you should avoid physical exertion for about four weeks. Light pressure massages and regular application of scar ointment or scar gel will support the healing process.
