Combining Procedures: The Mommy Makeover

It’s easy for Lubbock moms to lose themselves in raising their children. Mothers do it all – from pregnancy to cheering on kids at soccer games and everything in between. But the toll on the body does not have to be permanent. Combining cosmetic plastic surgery procedures is a convenient way to improve your look after having children. If you are ready to take the next steps to getting your pre-baby body back, a combination of the following surgeries might work for you.

Breast Augmentation, Lift, or Reduction

Pregnancy and nursing can leave the breasts looking saggy, deflated, or aged. This part of the mommy makeover can either restore your bust to the shape and size you enjoyed before having children, or enhance it even more. Some women opt for the breast reduction to decrease their size and alleviate back pain.

Liposuction

Even after you have been able to get back to your target weight, you may have areas of fat that seem to stick around no matter what you do. Liposuction will rid your body of these stubborn fat deposits. The back, outer thighs, and love handles are all places that respond well to liposuction.

Tummy Tuck

Getting back into shape after having a baby is hard, but making that saggy skin around your belly disappear is almost impossible. If you are doing a mommy makeover, the tummy tuck will flatten your stomach and tighten your abdominal muscles. The overall effect is a much firmer looking torso.

Moms in Lubbock are devoted to caring for others, but it is important that they care for themselves as well. If you have areas on your body, you’d like to improve after having children, combining surgeries can transform your breasts, tummy, and overall figure all at once. Call for a personal, obligation-free consultation today.

What Does Liposuction Do?

Dr. Jane Rowley tells her Lubbock patients that on the right person in the right areas, liposuction can have exceptional results. It has been the most popular type of cosmetic surgery in America for the last four years in a row, according to The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. However, despite its growing popularity, many people are still unclear about what the procedure actually does.

Eliminating the Fat

If you are having plastic surgery for fat removal, it’s most likely because you have not had success with traditional diet and exercise. Liposuction targets specific areas on the body that resist your efforts to keep up that healthy lifestyle in Lubbock. A tiny tube is inserted into the problem area, and the fat tissue is suctioned out. While you will lose a good amount of noticeable fat, it is important to remember that it is not a weight loss surgery.

Shaping Up

When people are working to slim down, they often put too much emphasis on the numbers on the scale. Yet, for many of us in Lubbock, the figure we want can’t be achieved by losing a certain number of pounds. Liposuction is a way to cosmetically improve the contours of your body. It gets rid of the flab that does not respond to any amount of resisted cravings or time at the gym. Lipo works well on areas of the body that have good skin tone and elasticity. The following are good areas to consider:

  • outer thighs
  • flanks (love handles)
  • hips
  • back
  • submental region (chin area)

Talk to a board certified plastic surgeon about which areas of your body would respond well to liposuction. Dr. Rowley will be able to create a plan with you that will eliminate your stubborn fat and improve the shape of your body. Call today for an obligation-free consultation.

Why are Lubbock Breast Reduction Patients so Happy?

When people think of plastic surgery for the breasts, they often think of augmentation. But what about the women who were dealt more than their fair share of bust size? Too often, even losing a significant amount of weight will not make your breasts smaller. If your cup size runneth over, you might want to consider surgically reducing the size of your breasts.

Freed From Chronic Pain

Women with very large breasts tend to have poor posture because of the weight load that is constantly straining their backs.  As a result, Lubbock women who need breast reduction often suffer from back, neck, and shoulder pain. Even the most supportive bras will dig grooves into the shoulders from the heavy load. When that burden is removed, the pain almost instantly eased.

Improved Mobility

Trying to exercise when you have too much bust is very difficult. Even just going for a jog is cumbersome because your heavy chest pounds you with every single step. Combine that with sweat and friction irritating the skin underneath your breasts, and it will not be easy to stay motivated. For Lubbock women with these problems, breast reduction surgery offers welcome relief.

Looking Better, Feeling Better

Dr. Rowley’s patients will always get a breast lift along with their size reduction. These combined procedures help improve body proportions. The breasts will no longer be an uninvited focal point. Your clothes will fit and look much better on you – and when you look good, you just can’t help but feel good too!

If you feel your breasts are too large, plastic surgery can dramatically improve your quality of life. It’s time to get relief from the burden you’ve been carrying around for so long. Call today for a no-obligation consultation to see how Rowley Plastic Surgery can help you get your life back.
