Mommy makeover

Pregnancy is a wonderful time in a woman’s life, but pregnancy and breastfeeding may take a significant toll on a woman’s body. Women often struggle to regain their pre-pregnancy figure after having children. Multiple pregnancies tend to make it even harder to bounce back.

Frequently, diet and exercise aren’t enough to correct the issues new mothers experience, including lost breast volume, loose skin, excess fat, and muscle laxity of the abdominal area. That’s where mommy makeover may be beneficial. An individualized combination of plastic surgery procedures may significantly improve these undesired physical changes. Here, internationally-known, double-board-certified Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Dr. Jay Orringer, discusses variables to consider in planning a mommy makeover, including possible procedures involved and the timing of the surgery.
