Mommy Makeovers

Plastic Surgery in Charleston, SC

Having children may be the best thing that can happen to you, but while motherhood is good for your soul, it may be hard on your body. Pregnancy, stress, and the lifestyle changes that often come with raising babies and toddlers can take a toll on your body in many ways. Sometimes the changes are temporary, and if you're lucky dieting, hitting the gym, and catching up on sleep can help you look close to the way you did before having kids. But other changes are permanent, and no amount of work on your part can undo them. A mommy makeover can help you turn back the clock and look close to the way you did before pregnancy. There is no single mommy makeover—it is custom designed for your body and the changes it has undergone. If you would like to talk about designing a mommy makeover for you, please schedule a consultation with Dr. Brian G. Widenhouse at Port City Plastic Surgery in Charleston, South Carolina.

The Lasting Effects of Pregnancy

Although some celebrities have publicized their quick return to form after giving birth, for most women the effects of pregnancy are lasting and include:

• Stretch marks
• Stretching of the abdominal skin and muscles
• Changes in breast shape and size
• Loss of elasticity in breast skin
• Stubborn pockets of residual fat
• Varicose veins or spider veins
• Changes in skin health

Some women experience many of these changes, while others only a few. No matter what your experience, we can design a mommy makeover for you.

Procedure Options

During your consultation with Dr. Widenhouse, you will discuss your options for plastic surgery and nonsurgical cosmetic treatments to address your most important concerns about your appearance. You will work out the best combinations of procedures for you. Procedures commonly used in mommy makeovers include:

• Breast lift
• Breast reduction
• Breast enlargement
• Tummy Tuck and other Body Lifts
