Tune Up

Becoming a mother can be one of the most joyous times in your life. Children can bring so much happiness to one’s life, but they can also take a significant toll on our bodies. The stretching of the stomach muscles and skin, thighs, breasts, and other areas can lead to stretch marks, excess skin, and loose sagging skin. Many women after they have a baby feel that their body is just not the same as it were before. The mommy makeover is the perfect surgical procedure solution. The mommy makeover los angeles includes several cosmetic procedures. These procedures can include a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast augmentation or a breast lift. There are many factors to consider before undergoing surgery. These factors will include your current health, if you have lost weight after pregnancy but you cannot get rid of the stubborn areas of fat, and sagging skin.

The first step to going forth with this procedure is to schedule a consultation. During the consultation you will meet directly with the medical director and explain to him the desires you wish to achieve. He will discuss your medical history, past surgeries, and what he thinks the best surgical procedures will be for you. Once you decide upon a surgery date you are on your way to the pre baby body!

Spring Lipo Season

Liposuction is the most common cosmetic procedure in the United States. Liposuction also known as lipoplasty is a procedure that is used to remove unwanted fat from specific areas of the body.

Time for a Tuck

For many people, time and age takes its toll on the body. For example, having a baby can lead to loose abdominal skin. Or losing a lot of weight may create hanging skin. In these and other situations, one thing can really help a lot. This is called a Southern California tummy tuck. With this procedure, excess skin is removed from the midsection. It leaves things nice and tight. Sometimes the muscles are firmed up underneath as well. If you think this may be of help to you, the best step is to check with a plastic surgeon!

A New Stomach

Are you embarrassed by a sagging stomach that hangs over your pants? Have you noticed that no matter how much you diet or exercise, that flabby abdominal area does not seem to get any smaller? If these are problems that you are familiar with, then you may be a candidate for a tummy tuck procedure.

This procedure, also known as an abdominoplasty, is a very common surgical procedure in which a Surgeon permanently removes a large, football shaped size of skin and fat from the abdominal area. After removing the skin, the Surgeon then stitches and/or braids the stomach muscles to give you that taut, tight tummy you either once had or have always wanted. Los Angeles tummy tuck is a very popular procedure among mothers as well as people who have undergone gastric bypass surgery, lap band surgery or have lost a significant amount of weight.

Once the skin has been stretched past the point of elasticity, short of surgical intervention, there is not much you can do to rectify the issue. It is recommended that you take a week or so off of work to recover, however you are never on bed rest after this procedure. In fact, we want you walking around, carefully and with assistance, the very same day of your surgery! Many of our patients report a new lease on life and say that they are exercising more, losing weight much faster in other body areas, and are generally happier and healthier.

There are important aspects of this procedure that you should discuss with your surgeon prior to booking. This is the same as for any procedure, such as rhinoplasty. Please schedule a consultation to meet with a Medical Director to get your questions answered and to determine if you are a candidate for this wonderful, life changing operation!

Summer

Many people find that the summer is the best time to do plastic surgery. They have time both to recover and to enjoy their results. One example is with Los Angeles breast augmentation. In this case there is plenty of time to really get the most out of the procedure.
