Most Popular Mommy Makeover Procedures

Any woman that has had children understands the toll that pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding takes on the body. When the skin on a woman's stomach and breasts stretches out to accommodate the growing baby and breast milk, it may not shrink back down after she has given birth and lost the baby weight.

Philadelphia plastic surgeon Paul Glat performs mommy makeover plastic surgery on patients that want to restore their bodies back to their former appearance. A growing number of women are undergoing mommy makeovers to make them feel more confident about their figures. Here are some of the most popular mommy makeover procedures.

Breast Augmentation and Lift

When a woman gets pregnant, her breast size increases significantly, usually by a couple of bra cup sizes. The breasts remain enlarged until breastfeeding ceases. For some women, the breasts will go back to their original, pre-pregnancy size; for others, they will lose some of their natural breast tissue and have loose breast skin when they stop breastfeeding. The placement of breast implants can add volume to the breasts and provide them with a slight lift. Breasts that have begun to sag to a greater degree may require a breast lift operation to remove excess skin and move the position of the nipple.

Tummy Tuck

Philadelphia tummy tuck surgeon Paul Glat recommends the abdominoplasty procedure when patients have returned to their pre-pregnancy weight, but still have loose, wrinkled skin on the stomach that does not respond to diet or exercise. Tummy tuck surgery can be performed on these patients to produce a smoother, flatter stomach. The procedure involves the creation of an abdominal incision that allows the surgeon to excise excess skin, tighten underlying muscles, and create a new belly button.

Liposuction

Liposuction is another popular mommy makeover procedure. The treatment can be used to remove extra fat from the stomach, thighs, hips, arms, and facial area. Liposuction surgery is a safe and effective treatment that produces more contour in desired areas of the body and can help mom's regain their pre-pregnancy figures.
