Mommy Makeover

A growing number of women are undergoing mommy makeovers. A mommy makeover is a combination of plastic surgery procedures that restore, or improve, their post-pregnancy bodies. The effects of pregnancy and breast feeding can be significant on a woman’s body. Often times, these changes cannot be reversed through diet and exercise.

A mommy makeover is a comprehensive set of procedures used to treat all the areas that change during pregnancy. Dr. Ashruf uses Brazillian skills and specialized body contouring techniques to help mothers return, as best as possible, to their pre-pregnancy body.

The combination of growing uterus and pregnancy-related hormones culminates to stretch and increase the abdominal girth. These changes are normal and serve to allow the abdominal wall muscles to stretch allowing your baby to grow comfortably. This phenomenon typically creates a separation of the tummy muscles, called rectus diastasis, in order to accommodate your baby. The skin of the tummy also stretches under the same influences, and may develop stretchmarks. In some women, the abdominal tissues return to their pre-pregnancy state, but most do not. Many women have loose, sagging skin, and disfiguring stretch marks, with a bulging abdominal wall to varying degrees after pregnancy. If a C-section was performed, the hanging may be quite pronounced. The effects of weight gain and breast feeding can take a significant toll on the breasts. Breasts can become smaller and begin to droop and sagg. Dr. Ashruf performs breast lift surgery as part of a mommy makeover, based on the individual, the lift can be supplemented with saline or silicone breast implants if needed. Finally, liposuction is used to shape and sculpt the back, abdomen and flanks. Post operatively, once patients have recovered from surgery, he then uses Collagen Induction therapy to treat stretch marks. This therapy makes stretch marks much less noticeable over time.

Dr. Ashruf uses his advanced body contouring and liposuction techniques in conjunction with breast augmentation and a tummy tuck to achieve beautiful post mommy makeover results.
