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. This procedure reshapes the body’s silhouette. You are a great candidate for liposuction if you have some smaller areas of fat that is unresponsive to diet and exercise.

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.

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!

Wintertime

Things are busy right now, just after the holidays. Check back for more opinions and stories in the next few weeks!

Giving Yourself a Lift

After pregnancy, and with age, many women notice that their breasts tend to sag and are no longer as perky as they used to be. They find that their nipples face downward and their breasts lack volume up top. While some women rectify this issue with a push up bra, others chose to undergo cosmetic surgery. A mastopexy procedure is also known as a lift. This cosmetic surgical outpatient procedure is performed in order to lift the breasts up to give them a perkier, younger appearance. This will get rid of the sallow, hanging skin and fill that skin in with natural volume.

Some women chose to do this procedure along with a breast augmentation. Women with smaller breasts that undergo a breast lift procedure may find that they are not as happy with the smaller size and want to fill out the volume with an implant. This procedure is similar to that of a breast reduction, which also has a natural lift involved in the procedure. By removing a pie wedge shape of skin from the bottom, it gives the tissue a lift. There are scars associated with this surgery, but most of them heal up to be practically invisible with time. Consult with a surgeon today to get valuable information and to see a photo gallery of before and after pictures of this procedure.

These beautiful people can be found at the beach and poolside, always appearing the image of perfection, from the perfectly coiffed hair, to the sexy flat stomach, and on down to the bright and shiny lacquer on their beautiful toes. This perfection is undoubtedly due to a cadre of body care professionals, so how do the non-celebrity go about getting their own sexy flat stomach, celebrity-style?

Those in the know know that sometimes it takes a little extra to get our stomachs into beach shape, and it is especially difficult following pregnancy or extreme weight loss.

We had lunch with an old friend the other day, a mother of five year old twins. The conversation evolved into the consequences of a multiples pregnancy, specifically the after-effects on the mother's body after carrying more than one baby. It turns out that, after trying unsuccessfully to diet and excercise away the excess skin of her post-pregnancy abdomen, our friend's sister offered to pay for her to get an abdominoplasty, otherwise known as a tummy tuck. Our friend began to explore the options for Beverly Hills abdominoplasty and found a doctor to conduct the procedure.

Our friend had nothing but good things to say about her tummy tuck and was extremely happy with the results. She was feeling like her old self, once again liked the way she looked in the mirror. Most importantly, she also had more energy and enthusiasm for many things, including working out on a regular basis, something she did not enjoy before the surgery.
