H E A L T H + B E A U T Y INLAND COSMETIC SURGERY Is a Mommy Makeover right for me? We think moms are pretty incredible— and we work hard to make sure they feel incredible. Becoming a new mother is a beautiful occasion, full of new experiences and learning what life is like now that you have a child. As many moms know, it can also bring some undesirable body changes that can be difficult to get used to. We hear from moms nearly every day who feel uncomfortable with the appearance of their breasts or excess skin on their tummies after pregnancy and want to know what they can do to look and feel a little more like themselves. Amommy makeover is designed to address some of the most common post-pregnancy body concerns, and our experienced cosmetic surgeons will work closely with you to design a customized treatment plan that meets your goals and fits your lifestyle. Is a mommy makeover right for me? Amommy makeover can be a great fit for moms who meet the following criteria: • Bothered by loss of breast volume, sagging or excess skin, or a “deflated” breast appearance • Have drooping skin on the lower stomach (a “pregnancy pouch” or “mummy tummy”) • Your abdominal muscles have separated • You have excess fat that just won’t budge • At or near your ideal body weight • A generally healthy non-smoker What procedures are included in a mommy makeover? While your mommy makeover will be fully customized to your individual needs, there are a few common procedures for addressing the top concerns moms have after pregnancy and childbirth. BREAST LIFT: To correct this “deflated” appearance, a breast lift with or without implants can reduce sagging and lift the breast and nipple to a more youthful position. TUMMY TUCK: Abdominoplasty, or a tummy tuck, can both repair separated muscles and remove excess, sagging skin to create a smooth, taut tummy. LIPOSUCTION: Liposuction can enhance the results of other procedures, balance body proportions, and improve the contour of the hips, tummy, and thighs. VAGINAL REJUVENATION: ThermiVa® non- surgical vaginal rejuvenation is a quick, comfortable treatment that can help improve these symptoms by tightening external and internal vaginal tissue. NONSURGICAL SKIN TREATMENTS: Many of our mommy makeover patients like to add on professional skin treatments for a bit of self-care and to address “pregnancy skin.” Contact us to book your consultation or if you’d like to know more about mommy makeovers. We look forward to meeting you during consultation. 909-987-0899 www.inlandcosmetic.com Dr. Irene Tower & Dr. Jacob Haiavy Follow us on Instagram @inlandcosmeticsurgery Get your (pre-baby) body back! yourvillafoothillcities.com | 37
