Reno Mommy Makeover Plastic Surgery
A large part of my practice is the mommy makeover population. I see a lot of patients who have lost all of their baby weight but still have problem areas that won’t go away with diet and exercise alone. So most commonly those areas would be the breast and the abdomen and sometimes the areas around the hips. As a woman and as a mother I completely understand the changes that a woman’s body goes through following pregnancy and breast feeding. Even though most mothers can find time to exercise and diet and take care of themselves there are certain parts of the body that aren’t amenable to being fixed without surgical intervention. For example, the abdominal muscles become stretched apart. Sometimes that needs to be surgically tightened. Some of the excess skin on the abdomen needs to be surgically removed. Even if you lose more weight the skin will only sag because it just isn’t filled out anymore. As a board-certified plastic surgeon of course safety is always my primary concern and these are elective procedures so to me it’s important to stage these procedures and not spend too much time on the operating table at once to increase their risk factors.
