Body Contouring

Post-Pregnancy Contour Restoration

Mommy Make-over

 

Mini Tummy Tuck and Tumescent Liposuction Correction of Post-Pregnancy Physical Changes:
 

A combination of tumescent liposuction and mini-tummy tuck can be used as one of the restorative surgery options for changes to the trunk after pregnancy, now collectively grouped as the Mommy Makeover.  In the examples below, no breast surgery was desired, but abdominal and trunk contour correction was accomplished under local anesthesia in my AAAASF-certified office surgery suite.   Since there   is minimal  bleeding with  this  technique,  there  is  minimal  bruising,   swelling,  or pain,  and   the   results  are  evident  much   more    quickly.    Patients  are  ready   to   leave  the  office  almost immediately after surgery,   shower  at  24-48 hours,  and  return to work in a few days,  with exercise at  2 weeks.   A light compression garment or binder are used for 2 weeks to limit swelling.   Representative  patient  photos  are   displayed  below.
