Breast Augmentation / Breast Lift / Tummy Tuck / Umbilical Repair

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can make a woman feel as if her body is no longer recognizable. When mothers are ready to retake control over their bodies following pregnancy, they often turn to plastic surgery to get the results they're looking for. Even though this woman had lost most of the "baby weight" within a few months of giving birth to her child, she still had some stubborn excess fat and loose abdominal skin. She also wanted to improve the shape and size of her deflated breasts. So, she came into the Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery in Reston VA, near Washington DC for a consult. Her surgeon recommended a mommy makeover. In this case, her surgeon performed a mastopexy with implants, an abdominalplasty, and liposuction. For her breast augmentation, he placed 265cc silicone gel implants. During the tummy tuck procedure, he also repaired her Rectus Diastasis (AKA Mummy Tummy) and umbilical hernia. She is thrilled with her results. Pregnancy is hard on a woman's body, but a skilled surgeon can do wonders both to her external appearance and her internal acceptance of herself.
