Post-Pregnancy Makeover

WEBVTT 00:00:06.964 --> 00:00:10.360 What is a mommy makeover is a question that I tend to get a lot. 00:00:10.443 --> 00:00:13.887 Really, mommy makeover is a lay term, and it's a general term that's used 00:00:13.970 --> 00:00:17.765 to describe having any kind of a surgical procedure that is aimed at improving 00:00:17.848 --> 00:00:22.227 the contour of the mid-section or torso of someone who's had children 00:00:22.310 --> 00:00:24.562 as well as the breast of someone who's had children. 00:00:24.646 --> 00:00:28.315 It can be something that is involved with doing just a breast augmentation 00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:29.608 and liposuction. 00:00:29.691 --> 00:00:33.611 It can be a breast lift with implants with a lipoabdominoplasty 00:00:33.695 --> 00:00:35.440 and liposuction on the flanks. 00:00:35.523 --> 00:00:36.822 It really varies. 00:00:37.073 --> 00:00:41.701 The overall theme of it, though, is to try and reverse a lot of the changes 00:00:41.785 --> 00:00:45.788 that pregnancy has created that is probably the most simple way to put it. 00:00:45.872 --> 00:00:48.957 For many patients that involve doing an abdominoplasty 00:00:49.041 --> 00:00:50.876 or tummy skin is removed, 00:00:50.959 --> 00:00:52.877 and the six-pack muscles are brought back together 00:00:52.961 --> 00:00:57.339 to restore normal anatomy, and breast tissue is rejuvenated, 00:00:57.423 --> 00:01:02.135 either elevated with a breast lift or volume filled back out with an implant 00:01:02.219 --> 00:01:03.520 or both of these things. 00:01:03.603 --> 00:01:06.222 It's important to make sure that you seek a consultation 00:01:06.305 --> 00:01:09.766 with a board certified plastic surgeon who can go through these options 00:01:09.850 --> 00:01:12.727 and also tailor them to your specific anatomy, 00:01:12.811 --> 00:01:15.980 making sure that your specific goals are actually met.
