The Mommy Makeover Combo

Mommy Makeover

During pregnancy, the body undergoes many dramatic changes, some of which are not very flattering. Unfortunately, the changes that naturally occur during pregnancy can sometimes take quite a toll on a woman’s appearance and self-image.

This does not mean you have to sacrifice your looks forever just because you’ve had a baby. With a few simple procedures, you can look better than before.

Of course, a woman’s midsection grows considerably during her pregnancy. Although the abdomen begins to return to some degree of normalcy immediately after giving birth, there are often significant and permanent effects of this weight gain. Even after you’ve lost that baby weight, the skin can appear looser, making you look heavier than you really are.

The Mommy Makeover Procedure

To help fix this problem, there’s a procedure called abdominoplasty - more commonly referred to as the “tummy tuck” - that can help you restore your abdomen. With abdominoplasty, you can look and feel better than you have in years!

In addition, many women also choose to get a breast lift after having a baby. This may involve relocating the nipple to a higher part of the breast. If you’ve ever considered having breast implants, this may be the best time to do it.

The size of a patient’s breast implants is always dependent on - and often limited by - the amount of skin on the patient’s breasts. Because of the excess skin that is typically caused by breast growth during pregnancy, women who have just had a baby may have more options for breast augmentation than usual.

It’s important to note that breast and abdomen are not the only parts of your body that may change during pregnancy. In fact, most women store fat all over their bodies while they are pregnant. Ultrasonic liposuction also referred to as ultrasonic liposculpture, is a procedure that can treat this additional weight gain, and it can be done on parts of the body that cannot be treated with manual liposuction.

Plastic Surgery & MediSpa Treatments For The Holidays

A Holiday Present for You: The Benefits of Having Plastic Surgery over the Holiday Break

If you’ve been looking for the perfect time to finally get the cosmetic procedure you’ve been putting off, you might want to consider getting it done over the holiday break.

The holiday season can be a stressful time. We spend the majority of our time worrying about pleasing other people that we often forget to think about ourselves. Why not slow the pace down and treat yourself? You can consider this a Christmas gift to yourself.

There are quick MediSpa treatments but one of the more common cosmetic procedures for women is a tummy tuck. This is desirable for women who are already maintaining a healthy weight level through diet and exercise, but still struggle with excess skin and fat deposits around the midsection. This is usually from pregnancy or weight loss.

Before you decide to undergo the surgery, there are several things you must consider.

It is of utmost importance to have a consultation and to learn about the process and options. It is a well-known face that the most important factor in an excellent surgical result is the surgeon you select.

The Complete Mommy Makeover

Breast Lift, Liposculpture & Tummy Tuck

Oh, the joys of motherhood. These joys, however, often come along with dramatic changes to your body. There’s a reason that Hollywood stars are always highlighted in “body after baby” photos: getting back into shape after pregnancy is hard work! If you’re chasing your children around and making family dinners instead of seeing a personal trainer and having specialized diet foods delivered to your door, post-pregnancy cosmetic surgery may just be the solution for you.

There are a number of procedures that can get your body back to or in better shape than it was before your pregnancy, and at the offices of Brett E. Stompro, MD & Chester K. Cheng, MD, we offer the Complete Mommy Makeover to help.

You will likely find that the most prominent change after your pregnancy is in your midsection. Naturally, the skin in that area has stretched to accommodate your growing baby and it might seem like all the crunches in the world won’t get your stomach back to its pre-pregnancy shape. One way to fix problems with loose abdominal skin is with a procedure called abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck. This safe and common procedure is a great way to start towards your optimal “body after baby.”

Moving onwards and upwards, many women also chose to get postpartum breast lifts due to increased size during pregnancy. If you’ve ever considered a breast augmentation in the past, now is actually the optimal time to do it. With increased size comes an increased amount of skin, which gives surgeons more options to offer you than usual.

Refining those specific areas can make a big difference, but you may also want to consider ultrasonic liposculpture to address additional weight gain in other areas of your body. Ultrasonic liposculpture is an improved method that can be used in places that manual liposuction cannot treat.

By making an effort to boost your self-image you make a happier you, which makes for a happier family! If you’re considering post-pregnancy cosmetic surgery, find out about the many other procedures we offer or to schedule a private consultation, visit Dr. Stompro & Dr. Cheng at www.plasticsurgery1.com today!

Tummy Tuck: One of the Most Popular Procedures

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

 Abdominoplasty, more commonly known as a tummy tuck, is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures. Whether you’ve just had a baby or lost a substantial amount of weight, or just can’t shake those last stubborn pounds, a tummy tuck is a safe and effective way to regain the body you had or obtain the body you want.

During a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty procedure, the loose skin and fat in the abdominal area is removed. In the case after childbearing or weight loss, the weakness or laxity of the abdominal wall is repaired before removing the excess skin and fat. This skin and fat is then pulled and excised. See our before and after tummy tuck pictures of actual patients to see the amazing transformations that take place. The procedure is especially effective for removing stretch marks in the lower abdomen. After the remaining skin is tightened, the navel is refreshened for a natural look.

When discussing your desired look with your surgeon, there are a number of things to consider. First, while tummy tucks work well to remove stretch marks from the lower abdomen, in some cases not all stretch marks can be eliminated. It is also important to keep in mind that your safety is our doctor’s foremost concern. He will remove as much fat and skin as is safe, while considering the optimal look and healing.

You will also need to consider your skin type and age when planning with your doctor. These factors will affect the obtainable results, as will your weight. It is best if you have been at a stable weight for at least six months prior to your surgery to ensure your results can be maintained in the long run. Patients who intend to be pregnant in the near future should wait until after child bearing.

The results are very dramatic and long lasting. Your age, skin type and physical conditioning all will influence the outcome. It is important to know that the staff at the offices of Dr. Stompro and Dr. Cheng will always be available to answer any of your questions, before or after your surgery.

If you’re ready to discuss a new you, contact Brett Stompro, M.D. or Chester Cheng, M.D. by email at Plastic Surgery & Medi-Spa or call 925-736-0401 today. Plastic Surgery & Medi-Spa has four Bay Area office locations: Danville, Hayward, Livermore, and Tracy CA to serve our patients.
