Procedures I'm known for
Post-Pregnancy Procedures
It’s no secret that many women struggle to regain their pre-pregnancy body after having children and nursing. A mommy makeover makes that process easier, with a custom combination of cosmetic surgery procedures. While it’s tailored to the concerns of each patient, a mommy makeover always includes breast surgery. At our practice in Grand Rapids, most patients opt for breast augmentation combined with a breast lift to correct sagging and restore volume, while others choose breast reduction surgery. Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, is also a popular option, especially after multiple pregnancies. For those dealing with a loss of skin elasticity in the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs, we offer a lower body lift, which removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, hips, and lower back; lifts the buttocks and outer thighs; and tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall. I look forward to discussing your mommy makeover goals and recommending the best treatment plan, to get the results you want.
