After having a baby, it’s often difficult to get your body back to the way it once looked. Many women experience excess fat remaining in their stomach area, as well as sagging skin.

The Traditional Mommy Makeover

Plastic surgeons tout a ‘Mommy Makeover’ as an answer to these issues, which involves ‘going under the knife’ to correct the problems. Typically this procedure would involve having a breast lift or augmentation as well as a tummy tuck. While those procedures are often effective, they come at a cost. Of course, there is the literal cost-those surgeries can be quite expensive. But other risks (which are increased by the fact that multiple procedures are done at once) include:

• Scarring
• Excessive bleeding
• Blood Clots
• Infection
• Complications with anesthesia

Many moms believe that having the ‘Mommy Makeover’ is the only solution, but technology has come so far and now there are many non-invasive alternatives to doing something as drastic as surgery.

Coolsculpting

Coolsculpting is a phenomenal treatment that is effective in reducing fat in those areas where diet and exercise just aren’t doing the trick. To help moms eliminate their leftover baby belly, it can be performed in the stomach region. We usually are able to achieve around 30-40% reduction in the fat layer in most patients, which greatly improves the appearance of the area.

Reaction

For tightening loose skin in the stomach area and around the breasts, we can utilize a treatment called ‘Reaction’. ”Reaction combines the mechanism of advanced RF energy and vacuum therapy that work with the body’s natural regeneration process to deliver safe and efficient treatments for cellulite, body contouring and tightening of the skin.”

Both treatments are non-invasive, very safe, and much more cost effective than surgery. By combining these treatments, we have seen fabulous results and helped many moms look and feel they’re best!
