(Newswire.net — July 11, 2014) Fairfax, VA — Mommy makeover is a very popular body contouring procedure for moms but according to Dr. Victoria Suh, the procedure is not a one-size-fits-all approach as the name might suggest. Mommy makeover is a combination of multiple surgeries such as breast augmentation, breast lift, and tummy tuck, all designed to restore the patient’s pre-pregnancy body.
As much as women loves having a family, pregnancy changes a woman’s body in a number of ways. The breasts enlarge and the skin stretches during pregnancy and/or breastfeeding, which can lead to sagging breasts or dropping nipples. With the growing baby, the skin and muscles of the abdomen are stretched resulting to loose skin, lax muscles, and stretch marks.
Dr. Suh, a leading plastic surgeon in northern va for a mommy makeover, says: “I have so many moms come and tell me how frustrated they are with their bodies because they can’t get their pre-pregnancy body back despite of diet and exercise”. The problem is that the changes in women’s body caused by pregnancy cannot simply be improved with exercises.”
While a mommy makeover can address these concerns, the procedures involved in mommy makeover is a case-to-case basis and is highly individualized.
The procedures involved in a mommy makeover in Northern Va are as follows:
Breast augmentation – this procedure restores volume and develops fuller breasts as a result of pregnancy changes. Pregnancy can also result to larger breasts and a lot of moms would like to keep the fuller look.
Breast lift – this procedure can be combined with breast augmentation and can restore a more youthful look.
Breast reduction – excessively large breasts can cause some health issues such as neck pain, back pain, and even shoulder pain. This procedure can help with these health issues as well as some social issues.
Tummy tuck – also known as “tummy tuck”, this procedure targets excess fat and skin and tightens the abdominal wall.
Mini-tummy tuck – this procedure is for those with minimal loose skin and require removal of less tissue with shorter incision.
Liposuction – this can be used with breast reduction and a nice compliment to tummy tuck.
