Pregnancy takes its toll on a woman’s body. It stretches the abdominal skin, breasts, thighs and other regions. Many times, it is difficult to slim down to the pre pregnancy weight. The desire to return to your pre pregnancy body is often frustrating when stretch marks and loss of volume in the breast region persists in spite of a healthy diet and exercise.
The term “Mommy makeover” is used to describe a combined operative procedure that improves the appearance of the breast and abdomen after childbirth. Thus, a combination of breast enhancement and abdominal improvement operations are performed in one operative session. This saves recovery time and allows you to return to activities sooner than if both procedures were performed separately.
The breast surgeries included within the Mommy Makeover include breast augmentation with implants, with or without a breast lift, breast lift alone, or breast reduction. For breast lifts and reductions, Dr. Slatton uses short scar methods for these procedures. For the abdominal region, tummy tuck surgery with or without liposuction is performed. The tummy tuck procedure can be either a High Lateral Tension Abdominoplasty or a mini tummy tuck, depending on the needs for skin tightening. You incision scars will be well hidden within the bikini line. Every patient is unique, so variations of these operations are selectively based on individual anatomy to obtain best post operative surgical results.
