Post-Pregnancy Procedures

A mommy makeover can be a transformative solution for women who have had one or more children and have found that their bodies haven’t bounced back after pregnancy and breastfeeding, despite a healthy diet and lifestyle. At my practice in Akron, Ohio, patients can combine multiple procedures to address their unique concerns. Typically, a mommy makeover includes a breast augmentation or breast lift (often with implants) and tummy tuck, but some patients also opt for liposuction, a butt lift, arm lift, or nonsurgical facial rejuvenation treatments like dermal fillers. Often these procedures will be performed in one operation with one recovery period, but you can space them out, if you’re having multiple surgeries. During a consultation, we will talk through your primary concerns and goals, to align on the best combination of procedures to help give you back the body you once had—or even improve on it.

Every person has their own ideas about what the “perfect breasts” look like for them. At my Akron, Ohio practice, my goal is to get you the natural-looking results, with the size and shape you desire. I have expertise in the full range of breast procedures, including breast augmentation, breast lifts (with or without breast implants), breast reduction surgery, and breast implant revision surgery, as well as breast reconstruction, for women who have undergone a mastectomy. Breast augmentation is one of the most popular surgical procedures at our practice. During a consultation, I’ll help you choose an implant size that’s proportionate to your frame and complements your silhouette. I’ll also answer all of your questions about the procedure and recovery. Whatever your aesthetic goals for your new breasts, I look forward to discussing them and recommending a plan to give you natural-looking results you will love.

When pregnancy or weight loss leave sagging abdominal skin, a tummy tuck can help create a more contoured, toned abdominal area. Also known as abdominoplasty, tummy tucks remove excess skin and fat while tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall, to create a smoother, firmer midsection. While extremely effective, traditional tummy tucks do require one of the longest recoveries of any type of plastic surgery. Fortunately, we offer a drainless tummy tuck, to dramatically reduce a patient’s recovery time and post-op pain. This innovative method uses a new suturing technique that reduces the chance of fluid buildup following surgery, so no drains are necessary. This allows patients to move more and heal more quickly. I look forward to answering all your questions about tummy tucks during your consultation at my Akron, Ohio practice.
