Plastic Surgery for Recent Mothers

Motherhood is an undeniably beautiful experience, but dealing with your body after baby can be a challenge. If diet and exercise aren’t getting you to your body goals, the experienced surgeons at the offices of Dr. Stompro and Dr. Cheng can help! There are a variety of procedures that can get you back to your old self—or even better.

Belly

The most obvious problem area for new mothers is the abdomen. This area is considerably stretched during pregnancy. It can be especially difficult to go from baby bump back to your body before pregnancy. In situations where abdominal elasticity is a problem, a tummy tuck, can be especially effective. A tummy tuck is when loose skin and fat is removed and pulled tight. Tummy tuck surgery also helps eliminate stretch marks. For excess fat deposits around the body, liposuction is a great way to get rid of those last stubborn pounds.

Breast

Post-pregnancy can also be a good time for a breast lift. Changes in shape and size during pregnancy can result in a less than desirable look once the baby has been born. With a breast lift procedure, the nipple is elevated from the new lower position to a more natural, centered position. In addition, a breast reduction could be another option. A breast reduction resects breast tissue and excess skin, reducing the final volume and restoring a firmer look.

Beauty

Skin Resurfacing: Laser vs. Fraxel

Laser vs. Fraxel

Skin resurfacing can restore and rejuvenate the skin. With time our skin shows signs of aging from the exposure to the sun and elements.

Until recently there were two treatment methods to rejuvenate the skin; ablative and non-ablative treatments. Ablative lasers treat deep into the dermis of the skin by removing the upper epidermis. It treats both the surface and deep layers of the skin. This means a more effective treatment of lines and wrinkles but with a longer recovery. It couples up nicely with surgery. Non-ablative treatments preserve to epidermis but never get deep into the skins dermis. This means an easy recovery but not as aggressive of a treatment.

Fraxel is a new technology that treats deep into the dermis while preserving the epidermis. It works by laying down a laser pattern which gets deep into the dermis without ablating or taking away the epidermis. This means a deep treatment without the prolonging recovery. Non-ablative lasers are appealing because there is little to no down time. Fraxel now bridges the gap between ablative and non-ablative treatments. It treats deep into the dermis, preserves the epidermis and has little to no down time. It usually takes 4-5 treatments spaced one month apart

At the offices of Dr. Brett Stompro, M.D, and Dr. Chester Cheng, M.D., our goal is to keep you informed before, during, and after your cosmetic experience. In addition to achieving your desired results, we’re dedicated to making your entire experience as comfortable and open as possible.
