Can you still have children at least 2 years after a tummy tuck?
Having children after a tummy tick is certainly possible!
Sep 7, 2014
Sep 7, 2014
While most women choose to wait until they are done having their family before a tummy tuck, it is certainly reasonable for others to have an abdominoplasty before they have children. Becoming pregnant after a tummy tick won’t usually change the results that significantly. Likewise, having surgery of the abdominal wall should not interfere in any way with future pregnancies. Be sure to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with a great deal of experience in Mommy Makeovers,…
I need breast lift with possible augmentation, full TT and BBL. Which procedures can be combined or
A Mommy Makeover usually combines breast lift/augmentation with a tummy tuck +/- liposuction
Jul 12, 2014
Jul 12, 2014
A Mommy Makeover procedure describes surgery specially designed for mothers who have finished having their children, and usually combines breast and body surgery. Specifically, a breast lift, reduction or augmentation (or combination of these) and a tummy tuck is often combined with liposuction of the abdomen, hips, thighs or other areas. Many women I see also are interested in a labiaplasty at the same time. It makes sense to perform these complimentary procedures at the…
What are the best options for my mommy tummy, diastasis recti and hernia repair?
An abdominoplasty is the ONLY procedure that will permanently repair separated abdominal muscles (rectus diastasis)
Apr 8, 2014
Apr 8, 2014
After a mother has finished having her children, she often finds that she has loose, baggy tummy skin, stretch marks, and separated rectus abdominis muscles – known as “rectus diastasis”. This is more common after having many children and twin/multiple pregnancies.A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is the ONLY procedure that will permanently repair these muscles back together in the midline! This surgery that should be performed in the operating room under general anesthesia (I…
I plan to have a breast reduction and tummy tuck in 2 months.How safe is it to have both surgeries
Combining a breast reduction/lift with a tummy tuck is the basis of the “Mommy Makeover”!
Mar 31, 2014
Mar 31, 2014
A breast reduction or lift is a very common procedure sought by mothers who have finished having children and who have stopped nursing for at least 4 months. A tummy tuck is also a procedure that can benefit many mothers who notice that their abdominal tone does not return to its pre-pregnancy state. An abdominoplasty tightens the rectus abdominis muscles back together in the midline, removes extra crepe-like skin and produces a firm, taut tummy contour.Combining these procedures…
I had my first Mommy Makeover consult. Do I need a Pubic Lift & Liposuction? [PHOTO]
A Mommy Makeover often includes pubic area liposuction for the very best contour
Feb 27, 2014
Feb 27, 2014
A Mommy Makeover is a specialized procedure that is individualized to each woman based on her unique anatomy, her goals for surgery and her available recovery time. Together with an abdominoplasty or liposuction in the tummy and “flank” regions, I usually perform liposuction in the pubic area to improve the contour. A tummy tuck will achieve a lift of the pubis by redraping the skin. Traditional “pubic lift” surgery, which is really applicable only to massive weight…
Is having a Mommy Makeover advisable now at a stable weight, or should I wait until I get to my goa
You should be at a stable weight before planning a Mommy Makeover
Feb 15, 2014
Feb 15, 2014
Before any type of Plastic Surgery, but particularly a Mommy Makeover, you should be as close as possible to your pre-pregnancy weight and you should have finished breast feeding. A mother’s body will undergo changes for up to a year after pregnancy, and the breasts will deflate and lose their natural volume for up to 4 months after cessation of nursing.For the best possible results, do your best to shed the pregnancy weight, eat a healthy and balanced diet, get as much physical…
