Mommy Makeovers in Austin, TX

If you're a mother, then you're well aware of the toll that childbirth can take on a woman's body, especially the breasts and abdominal region. Even with proper diet and exercise, most women find it difficult to snap back to their pre-pregnancy body. This is because the effects of pregnancy go beyond mere weight gain.

Most women gain somewhere around 25-35 lbs during pregnancy, the most drastic and visible results obviously occurring around the abdominal region. This expansion causes the abdomen muscles to weaken and separate. As the skin stretches, collagen is ruptured resulting in stretch marks that start out a purplish red color and later turn to white scars.

In addition to changes that occur to the stomach, the size and shape of a woman's breasts also adjust during and after pregnancy. Once the mother finishes breast feeding, the breasts tend to deflate and sag.

The effects of pregnancy and childbirth are not all physical however. The result of all these changes can leave a new mom feeling unattractive, self-conscious and dispirited. This is neither good for mother or child. A happy child needs a happy mom with lots of energy to give.

Fortunately, most of these issues can be addressed with the Mommy Makeover. This revolutionary cosmetic procedure actually consists of a combination of different procedures specifically tailored to help moms restore and rejuvenate their bodies as closely as possible to their pre-pregnancy condition.

Your Mommy Makeover may include the following surgical procedures:

-          Breast Augmentation

-          Breast Lift

-          Breast Reduction

-          Tummy Tuck

-          Liposuction (hips, legs, thighs, arms, lower back)

Of course child birth does not affect every woman's body the same, so your Mommy Makeover would be customized to fit your specific needs and wishes. Your Austin plastic surgeon will discuss all of your options, answer questions and address any concerns you may have during your initial consultation.
