If you’re considering a mommy makeover in Lutz to restore your body after childbirth, you may be wondering what the recovery period will be like. As with any surgical cosmetic procedure, a mommy makeover involves downtime, during which you’ll need to rest and avoid certain activities so that your body can effectively recover from the procedure, but we know that you have a hectic schedule. Moms want to recover as quickly as possible after surgery so that they can get back to the regular routines. 

Here, we’ll provide our best tips for a speedy recovery after a mommy makeover. While you’ll still need plenty of rest after a mommy makeover, you can ensure that the recovery goes as seamlessly as possible with these recommendations. 

Arrange for Help at Home

One of the main concerns among mommy makeover patients is maintaining the home after surgery. Since you’ll need to take time to rest and avoid strenuous activity, including lifting heavy objects, plan ahead to have help at home as you recover from the surgery. Getting assistance from a trusted friend or family member can help you avoid strain and get the rest that you need for a fast recovery.  (more…)

Many women who are unhappy with the shape of their breasts may not actually need a breast augmentation to correct the problem. In many cases, women can get the shape, natural contour, and perkiness they desire with a much simpler, and much more affordable, breast lift in Lutz. Here is when you should choose a breast lift over augmentation.

Sagging breasts

Breast implants don’t fix the problem of sagging breasts. For most women, a breast lift in conjunction with the augmentation is necessary to achieve the desired results. If you are only worried about perkier breasts rather than larger breasts, a breast lift is the perfect solution. (more…)

If you think that you want to have a D cup size, you might think that this is sufficient information to get a price for breast implants in Lutz. What most people don’t realize is that cup size is often ambiguous, and it doesn’t really tell a doctor how you want your breasts to be shaped when your surgery and recovery are complete.

Here are a few reasons you need to give your doctor more than just a cup size at your consultation.

Cup size varies by brand, bra style, and even breast shape.

Most women have one particular brand where they prefer to get all of their bras. This is generally because once a woman finds the bra that fits the best, she is pretty reluctant to give it up. But have you ever thought about why a D cup is different from one brand to the next? The answer lies in the fact that cup size is completely arbitrary, and even breasts of the same size but different shapes may need a different cup size. (more…)

You used to hear about Botox all the time in the tabloids, until it became so common among celebrities that it was no longer noteworthy. But you still really only hear about celebrities getting Botox treatments, so it stands to reason you would think that this treatment is out of your reach. But Botox and other anti-aging treatments are actually affordable and attainable. Here are three reasons Botox isn’t just for celebrities.

Botox isn’t as expensive as you might think.

Yes, Botox was an expensive treatment when it was first made popular as a cosmetic treatment. But that was a long time ago, and the changes in the industry have led to a definite change in price. Botox prices vary widely. But no Botox treatment should cost more than a few hundred dollars, and the results last for several months. (more…)

There are a lot of things that can cause or agitate lower back pain, and there are a lot of therapies that can help depending on the cause. However, mid back pain is different. When you have pain between your shoulder blades and into your spine, it is an indication that your posture has changed for the worse. Usually, this happens over time to women who have large breasts.

While some women would love to have larger breasts, those who cope with them on a daily basis would gladly give them up. If your breasts are much too large for your frame, it could lead to crippling arthritis and other posture and chronic pain issues. (more…)

More and more people are finding freedom with the ability to lose weight. With new weight loss solutions coming onto the market every year, people who had given up on weight loss in the past are now finding success. Losing that weight can feel really good physically and emotionally, but it can also leave you hating your body more than ever. Here’s how a whole body lift can help.

Why you still look fat when you’re not

Do you feel like you still look fat, even though you’ve lost several sizes? It might be because you have a lot of loose skin and excess tissues that haven’t been able to shrink back. Once that skin is stretched and those fat and tissue cells form in the area, it can take years for it to bounce back, if it does so on its own at all.  (more…)

The midsection is one of the most stubborn places to try to lose fat and tone muscle. Especially as you get older, extra padding on the midsection seems to be inevitable and almost impossible to combat once it starts, but you do have some body contouring in Lutz, Florida, options for getting rid of that stubborn tummy fat and giving your midsection a look that is proportionate to the rest of your body.

Liposuction

Many people are able to get the results they want with liposuction. This procedure is appropriate for not only the midsection, but also other stubborn areas like upper thighs or love handles. This is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that doesn’t even require general anesthesia or any real downtime. Liposuction is not appropriate for applications in which there is also significant excess skin, as can happen with significant weight loss. (more…)

If you have some stubborn flab that you can’t get rid of with diet and exercise, you might be considering body contouring options. There are actually a lot of different treatments and procedures that can be used for body shaping, but the most traditional are the liposuction and the tummy tuck. Here is what the two procedures are, how they work, and when each is appropriate.

What is liposuction?

For liposuction, small incisions are made in the target area, and a small cannula is inserted. The plastic surgeon then uses the cannula to break up fat cells and suck them out with an attached vacuum. The fat that is removed can be used for augmentation elsewhere in the body, or simply be disposed of. Liposuction in Lutz, FL doesn’t have a long recovery, but it also doesn’t remove any excess skin or flab. It only removes the fat. (more…)

Especially after illness or losing a lot of weight, it is common to have some stubborn fat and tissues in the abdominal area that just won’t go away no matter how hard you try. When you’ve done everything you can, including talking to your doctor, to try to tone that stubborn area and none of it has worked, you might start to consider surgical options.

There are actually three different levels of tummy tuck type procedures. The mini tuck, tummy tuck, and beltectomy address different degrees of the target area.  (more…)

Have you lost a lot of weight in recent months or years? If so, you probably have some areas of your body that have been resistant to diet and exercise. These stubborn, fatty areas can make clothing fit poorly and interfere with daily activities.

Ridding yourself of these problem areas can seem impossible, and you aren’t alone. Many people who lose a significant amount of weight simply live with their new bodies, but there is no reason to be uncomfortable. Some of the most common problem areas include: (more…)
