Without question, having children is one of the most rewarding experiences a mother will have. However, the physical effects of pregnancy and the birth of a child can have some rather unflattering and unwanted physical effects on the mother. Mothers that choose to nurse can be left with sagging breasts, as breasts tend to lose volume after the mother has stopped nursing. As a result of pregnancy, a woman may be left with breasts that have little or no fullness. Many women are left with unsightly stretch marks and excess skin in the abdomen area as the abdomen struggles to regain its pre-pregnancy shape. With all the demands placed on a new mother, normal exercise and lifestyle routines may be altered resulting in additional weight concerns.
Fortunately the surgeons at the Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery offer a special plan, the exclusive Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery Mommy Makeover Plan. The Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery Mommy Makeover Plan is a unique approach to total body makeovers that specifically address the most common concerns for mothers of all ages. Those areas of concern include sagging breasts that have lost volume and shape, tummy lines that have retained excess fat deposits, visible stretch marks and unwanted fat deposits around the hips and thighs. The goal of the surgeon is to restore the breast, tummy area, and the area around the hips and thighs to the way they looked before pregnancy.
Following a long pregnancy and delivery, the abdomen experiences some very drastic changes such as skin being stretched and expanded. As a result of stretching and expanding, skin can sometimes lose its ability to retract and this may also result in showing the visible signs of stretching such as stretch marks and sagging skin. While exercise may be helpful in toning muscles after pregnancy, no amount of exercise will restore the muscles of the abdomen that have separated during pregnancy and delivery. Sagging skin and fat can be safely removed and abdominal muscles are tightened to help restore the natural feminine contour. Incision lines from a tummy tuck can be hidden at the bikini line to maximize the aesthetic result. Stretch marks can be significantly reduced and skin appears smoother.

Breasts lose volume and fullness due to the effects of childbearing and breastfeeding and are especially vulnerable to lose skin and stretch marks as the breasts lose their resiliency and start to droop. Saline and gel implants are FDA approved and will give you volume you desire.

The Fraxel™ laser is the most effective treatment for stretch marks available today. After a series of FRAXEL™ treatments one will see improvement in the texture, diameter and depth of the stretch marks. This treatment is done as an out-patient procedure and a series of 4 or more treatments are necessary to achieve the results. There is virtually no down-time and patients are amazed at the results they receive.
