If you live in the greater Seattle area, including Bellevue, Tacoma, Kirkland or Everett, Washington, please visit the website of Washington state Mommy Makeover specialist, Dr. David F. Pratt, at Pratt Plastic Surgery today to learn more about a mommy makeover and what the procedures can do for you.
What exactly is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a combination of cosmetic surgery procedures to correct the damage done to your body after a pregnancy and nursing take their toll. To correct sagging breasts, fat deposits, and stretch marks a mommy makeover combines several cosmetic surgery procedures to help you regain your pre-pregnancy body or make it even better than it was before your pregnancy. Some procedures performed during a mommy makeover are a breast lift, breast reduction or breast enlargement, liposuction or a tummy tuck.
What can a mommy makeover correct?
A mommy makeover can correct various physical problems that arise after pregnancy, childbirth and nursing such as stretch marks, areas of fat deposits, stretched abdominal muscles and skin and sagging or distorted breasts.
Who is a good candidate for a mommy makeover?
Any woman suffering from the physical damage of pregnancy, childbirth and nursing is an eligible candidate for a mommy makeover, especially if diet and exercise have failed to produce the result she is looking for. A woman must be in good physical and mental health and have a realistic expectation of what the result of her surgeries will be. A good candidate for a mommy makeover should also be certain her childbearing years are over as a new pregnancy will undo many of the benefits seen from a mommy makeover.
Can multiple mommy makeover procedures be performed at the same time?
As mommy makeovers combine various combinations of procedures, it depends on how many and which procedures you need to achieve the desired appearance. Your surgeon will advise you on the proper course of action to take for your unique and particular needs. You may need only one visit or more than one visit to the surgeon to achieve your desired result.
What are the risks and complications associated with a mommy makeover?
All surgical procedures have risks and complications and a mommy makeover is no different. Some of the risks and complications include, but are not limited to scarring, bleeding infection and possible unsatisfactory results. Be sure to discuss the risks and complications with your surgeon before making your decision to have a mommy makeover.
