More Women Than Ever are Considering the Mommy Makeover in Lubbock

Ideas about plastic surgery have evolved in recent years. With the rise of our social media culture, more and more people feel motivated to change the things they dislike about their looks. We can’t deny the fact that we live in a selfie world and we all want to look our best in every photo we post online. Gone are the days when plastic surgery was only for the rich and famous. People are opening up to the idea of plastic surgery to help them achieve the look they want.

The Numbers Don’t Lie

Think of your three closest friends. Chances are, one of them is considering plastic surgery. According to a new online survey conducted by the Harris Poll for RealSelf, 37 percent of people in America are giving genuine thought to having a cosmetic procedure done in the next 12 months. Many American women express dissatisfaction with their appearance after having children—hence the growing popularity of the mommy makeover in Lubbock. Whether or not you are already part of the population reflected in this statistic, plastic surgery could be the answer for your body image concerns.

Current Trends in Plastic Surgery

The study on RealSelf revealed that 49 percent of Americans considering cosmetic procedures are under the age of 45. Younger adults are changing the way we think about beauty and the procedures that often go along with it. The rise in popularity isn’t just confined to minimally invasive procedures like Botox; surgical procedures have seen notable gains as well. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the top 5 cosmetic surgical procedures in 2017 were:

The ASPS reports that breast augmentation has been the top cosmetic surgical procedure since 2006. Tummy tucks gained popularity again after having dropped from the top five in 2016. With so many advancements in technology and safety, it’s no surprise that so many people are turning to plastic surgery in Lubbock to feel happier with their appearance.

Combining Procedures for a Mommy Makeover in Lubbock

Three of the top five most popular plastic surgeries (breast augmentation, liposuction, and tummy tucks) are often done together in what is commonly referred to as a mommy makeover. Breast reductions are also a popular choice for mommy makeovers. Women frequently have multiple areas of concern on their bodies after having children. Undesirable changes in the breasts and tummy can have a detrimental effect on a woman’s confidence and self-esteem. A mommy makeover restores the body to its pre-baby appearance allowing mothers to forget worrying about their looks and focus on more important things.

If you’re already considering a mommy makeover in Lubbock, you probably have an area or two on your body that you’d like to change. You may be unhappy with the size and shape of your post-pregnancy breasts, a lingering saggy stomach, stretch marks, or even pockets of fat on your body that don’t seem to budge with diet and exercise. If this sounds at all familiar, a mommy makeover can offer the benefits of restoring a youthful bust and flattened tummy. After visiting our Lubbock office, your clothes and swimwear will fit better, and you will find a refreshed confidence in your appearance.

Mommy Makeover Benefits

Combining several surgical procedures together to restore your pre-pregnancy body has only recently gained the catchy title of a “mommy makeover,” but the approach and procedures themselves are not new and have a long-time record of being both safe and successful. There are several advantages when procedures are done in conjunction with one another.

  • Avoid multiple operations – When you combine procedures, you save money on the costs of the facility and anesthesia. Your risk factor goes down as well because you will only be put under one time, on one day, in one operating room.
  • Just one downtime – Downtime is all too rare an occasion for most moms. When you look at your calendar, how many weeks are there that would be convenient for you to be recovering from surgery? Probably not too many. Having your procedures done at the same time means you only have to heal once. You can get back to your routine and not have to worry about planning for more recoveries.
  • Dramatic results – Whether you simply want to get your pre-baby shape back or go above and beyond that, a mommy makeover can transform your body and your confidence. Moms deserve to feel good about the way they look and if that means tightening their tummies and reshaping their breasts, then a mommy makeover may be the right choice.

The IDEAL IMPLANT®: Safe Breast Implants with a Natural Feel

When considering breast implants, women should not have to sacrifice beauty for peace of mind. While silicone gel implants are known for their realistic look and natural feel, they don’t provide the reassurance that comes with saline. But now, women can achieve the look they desire and the safety they deserve from a new, innovative breast implant offered by Dr. Jane Rowley. IDEAL IMPLANT® Structured Breast Implants utilize the latest in implant technology to combine the benefits, without the drawbacks, of both silicone gel and saline.

Why the IDEAL IMPLANT is Different

How does the IDEAL IMPLANT offer the advantages of silicone gel and saline breast implants? As a “structured implant,” the IDEAL IMPLANT is different than any other type of implant due to its advanced internal structure. It is comprised of a series of shells nested together to hold two separate chambers filled with saline. This unique design:

    • Controls the movement of the saline filler, eliminating the “water-hammer” effect
    • Reduces wrinkling and rippling, creating a smooth surface
    • Provides a youthful shape, increasing volume and projection
    • Supports the upper pole of the implant, preventing collapse when upright
    • Allows the implant edge to naturally conform to the curve of a woman’s chest

Comparing Breast Implants

As an FDA-approved implant, the IDEAL IMPLANT gives women the security and confidence they want from a breast augmentation. There is no possibility of “silent rupture” with the IDEAL IMPLANT. A woman can know her implants are intact at all times by simply looking in the mirror. If a rupture occurs, the body safely absorbs the saline until the implant is removed.

This is not the case with silicone gel breast implants. Silicone gel ruptures are called “silent” because they can only be detected with an MRI. This means that without her knowledge, sticky silicone gel can be leaking into the surrounding tissue of a woman’s body, requiring surgery to remove once it is detected. In the video below, learn why the IDEAL IMPLANT is a worry-free implant option.

The Peace of Mind of Saline

As an IDEAL IMPLANT Premier Surgeon, Dr. Rowley explains:

“The nice thing about the IDEAL IMPLANT® Structured Breast Implant is you know that you have an implant in that’s going to be easy to remove, you’re going to know when it’s leaking, and it’s not going to interfere with your life in 10, 20, or 30 years. There’s a big difference when removing a ruptured saline implant compared to removing a ruptured silicone gel implant. A ruptured saline implant can be removed easily with a local anesthetic. Silicone gel implants, if they’re not ruptured, it can come out that easily. But if they are ruptured, most of the time it’s stuck and it bleeds and you have to put drains in. So, it’s not an easy recovery. It’s not an easy surgery … There is no peace of mind with a silicone gel implant, and there’s no good study to tell if it’s leaking. I have more than one patient that’s come in with ruptured silicone gel implants, that have had them for years and years, and were relatively happy with their implants. And then we switch them when they leak to the IDEAL, and they’re just as happy or happier than they were, so it really is a no brainer. I feel confident with the IDEAL IMPLANT, that I’m giving my patients that peace of mind. They know when their implant is leaking, they can plan their lives around that, and they know that it’ll be a relatively simple procedure to remove and replace it.”
