Mommy Makeover: Exploring Your Options

Abdominoplasty

also known as a tummy tuck, removes excess skin and fat. The muscles of the abdominal wall are tightened to flatten and shape the abdomen. An abdominoplasty will help flatten the abdomen by removing excess fat and skin, and tightening muscles. The best candidates for abdominoplasty are in good physical condition, with pockets of fat or loose skin that have not responded well to diet and exercise. Abdominoplasty can also be appropriate for slightly obese people whose skin has lost some of its elasticity, and for women with skin and muscles stretched from pregnancy. Anyone planning on losing a significant amount of weight, and women planning on having (more) children, should wait before undergoing abdominoplasty.

Breast Lift & Augmentation

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can leave the breasts sagging and deflated. A breast lift and augmentation can add volume to and lift the breasts.

Liposuction

Liposuction removes excess localized fat and can be performed in conjunction with an abdominoplasty. SmartLipo Triplex and Cellulaze are less invasive, laser options.

Labiaplasty

Childbirth and hormonal changes can enlarge or stretch the labia minora. Labiaplasty can restore the area to its pre-pregnancy appearance.
