Most moms would do anything for their children – so much that they neglect their needs to be selfless as their babies grow through childhood, adolescence, and beyond.
Unfortunately, your figure might not look the way you want it after pregnancy and breastfeeding. First, tissue stretching and hormonal fluctuations can wreak havoc on your figure. Then, add the aesthetic breast issues from nursing a baby, and aesthetic problems may abound.
Fortunately, there are multiple solutions to the cosmetic concerns that result from pregnancy and breastfeeding. A mommy makeover combines plastic surgery procedures to restore your youthful contours. And the best thing about the operation is its flexibility, allowing you to simultaneously address several unique aesthetic issues.
Here are a few cosmetic solutions Dr. Yegiyants offers in Santa Barbara to help women return their bodies to a youthful outline.
For the Breasts
In many ways, your breasts symbolize your physical femininity. However, having one or more children may stretch your breast tissue, leading to a flattened and elongated shape. Dr. Yegiyants performs multiple breast surgeries to help you achieve youthful breasts that fit your unique body type and figure.
If breast size is a problem, you can choose breast augmentation to go larger or breast reduction to go smaller. In addition, if your breasts sag, a breast lift can help elevate their position on your chest wall.
For the Belly
Though pregnancy and breastfeeding can affect your breasts, your stomach likely needs extra attention. The stress of carrying a growing child can stretch the abdominal wall to its limit and cause it to lose its flexibility and support. In addition, muscle damage and loose skin can leave your tummy flabby and sagging. Stretch marks may also become an issue.
Abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, is a procedure designed to strengthen the abdominal wall, remove excess skin and fat, and reduce unsightly stretch marks. Dr. Yegiyants offers two tummy tuck techniques – a partial tummy tuck and full abdominoplasty. The latter will treat the aesthetic problems from the upper abdomen to the pubic area, restoring support and removing excess skin. A mini tummy tuck deals specifically with the lower abdomen when a full tummy tuck is unnecessary.
Whatever procedure you decide is sensible, the tummy tuck is the perfect addition to your mommy makeover because it helps restore a tight belly and that stunning shape all women want.
For Random Fat Pads
Stubborn fat can severely affect your self-esteem after pregnancy. Whether it’s from hormonal changes due to age, pregnancy, or both, it’s unwelcome. Liposuction removes unsightly fat pads from your butt, back, abdomen, or thighs to deliver a tighter figure. When you combine liposuction with other body shaping procedures, you can feel confident choosing your wardrobe or finding the perfect outfit for summer activities.
Liposuction plays a significant role in other body contouring procedures like a tummy tuck and breast lift. However, it works well as a stand-alone procedure.
CoolSculpting® Elite is another excellent option to improve body contours when less invasive fat removal is better suited. This non-surgical treatment works wonders on the flanks, buttocks, upper arms, and abdomen. In addition, it freezes away excess fat, leaving a more defined figure.
Dr. Yegiyants offers additional non-surgical body enhancing treatments at her med spa.
