What are the most common types of surgery that moms are getting?

Going through pregnancy and giving birth to a child is surely one of the most fulfilling experiences for any woman. However, a new child can take a toll on the aesthetics of the body. This includes the stretching of the skin and stomach muscles, excess fat deposits and stretch marks. Dr. Foster helps moms counteract the effects of pregnancy with a range of different plastic surgery options.

The most common types of surgery which moms are selecting are:

- Tummy Tuck
- Breast Lift
- Breast Implants

Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure used to help patients tone and sculpt their abdominal areas. During the procedure, Dr. Foster tightens the abdominal wall’s muscles and sutures them to the correct position. The excess skin is removed to create a smoother stomach contour, narrower waist and firmer belly. Dr. Foster uses this procedure to eliminate stretch marks as well. Stretch marks above the navel improve as the abdominal skin is tightened and those below the navel are taken out during the removal of excess skin.

Breast Lift
Many moms who visit Dr. Foster are unhappy with the size and shape of their breasts. Pregnancy can rid the breasts of their “perkiness” and cause them to sag. Dr. Foster suggests the breast lift procedure for such moms. A breast lift or mastopexy can help restore the firmness and shape of the breasts. In a breast lift, the excess skin is removed and the inner breast tissue is lifted to create more youthful and fuller breasts. Dr. Foster emphasizes that this tightening and lifting of the tissue help restore the perkiness of the breasts.

Breast Implants
Certain moms may require breast implants to increase their cup size. Including implants helps breast lift patients keep their breasts perky and firm for many years to come. Implants are not prone to droopiness caused by the pull of gravity. Depending on the aesthetic goals of the patient, Dr. Foster may recommend breast implants to add beauty to the results of the breast lift.
