Your body goes through dramatic changes during pregnancy. Your belly and breasts may have lost their youthful firmness and tone in the months or years after giving birth, and these changes may have left you feeling self-conscious. Since many of the changes that occur during pregnancy cannot be corrected through diet and exercise, you may feel stuck with your new body. Luckily, post-pregnancy plastic surgery can help you regain your original physique and confidence.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation uses implants to increase the size and improve the shape of your breasts. You will have a choice between silicone and saline implants as well as between submuscular and subglandular implant placement to meet your aesthetic goals. You can work with Dr. Andreasen to create a customized breast augmentation that enhances your body and complements your curves.
Ideal Treatment for: Breast Volume Loss
Losing volume in the breasts is common after nursing or after the pregnancy itself. You may feel that your breasts are smaller than before you became pregnant, or you may want to regain the fuller breasts you had during your pregnancy.
Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery is designed to treat laxity of the breasts. Dr. Andreasen repositions sagging tissue and uses internal sutures to provide additional support. Nipple-areola resizing and repositioning is also common during a breast lift to achieve a more beautifully natural and proportional breast appearance.
Ideal Treatment for: Breast Sagging or Drooping
Rapid breast growth that occurs during pregnancy can weaken breast tissue. Breast lift surgery should be considered if your lower breast tissue sits at or below the inframammary line.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck involves creating an incision low in the pubic area to remove excess skin and tighten the abdominal muscles. A corset technique helps restore firmness to compromised muscles, while skin removal and contouring enhance the abdominal area.
Ideal Treatment for: The Post-pregnancy Pooch
Muscle separation and excess skin can cause your belly to appear weak and protruding. A tummy tuck addresses both issues and restores the more toned look you had before your baby.
Liposuction
Liposuction uses a small, well-placed incision to suction out unwanted fat. When performed by a skilled surgeon, liposuction can help define and contour a specific area of your body. Fat removal not only leaves you feeling slimmer, but it also enhances your overall shape.
Ideal Treatment for: Stubborn Deposits of Fat
While beneficial to use along the abdomen, liposuction can significantly enhance the hips, thighs, arms, back, and neck by eliminating stubborn fat that is resistant to diet and exercise.
