You are not alone. The most common concerns are:

• Stretch marks and loose skin/fat in their abdomen and flanks
• Sagging breasts
• Loss of breast volume
• The appears of their thighs/buttocks

To restore your body after pregnancy, a tummy tuck is a powerful tool to not just remove those stretch marks and excess loose skin, but also to bring back your six-pack muscles to where they were before pregnancy. The goal is to get you back to a natural flat “wash-board” belly. For those struggling with those pesky “love-handles”, targeted liposuction of the waist can really get you ready for that two-piece bathing suit.
To restore the breasts, you have many options depending on your current anatomy and your individual goals. For some, a breast augmentation with the new generation FDA approved silicone gel (”gummy bear”) implants will softly restore or enhance the breast size/volume. Others may require an additional lift to eliminate the sagging. I know many patients are concerned regarding the scars on their breasts. We can often camouflage the breast lift scars around the border of your areola.

Some moms have enough breast volume but their primary concern is the sagging. ABC13 News Healthcheck featured a breast lift technique where I lift the breasts using limited scar techniques and resuspend the sagging tissue to give you fuller cleavage (an almost naturally augmentated look) without needing implants. Of course, we can only make your cleavage and breasts as large as the amount of tissue that you actually have. But with this option, you will not need the implants.

Mommy makeovers can often be completed in one surgery. Your goals, body type and anatomy, and overall health will help me determine a individualized care plan for you. As a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, I focus on your safety and comfort as a top priority.
