Post-Pregnancy Plastic Surgery in Fairfield County, Connecticut - Mommy Makeover
Childbearing is a fundamental part of what it means to be a woman. No mother would trade anything for the magic of childbirth or the joy of watching little ones grow and thrive. Before post-pregnancy plastic surgery, mothers were forced to accept body fat redistribution, extra skin and stretched muscles around the abdomen, and sagging breasts - all as a direct result of pregnancy and breastfeeding. To make matters worse, the demands and stress of raising children can lead to wrinkled and tired skin on the body, face, and eyes.
With the advent of the latest post-pregnancy plastic surgery techniques, the Mommy Makeover is now a reality. The term "Mommy Makeover" denotes a suite of procedures specifically designed to address common problem areas after childbirth. Each mother's case is unique, and will require a series of post-pregnancy plastic surgery procedures specially tailored to the woman in question. Dr. Ellen Mahony offers her patients in Fairfield County, Connecticut, a wide variety of Mommy Makeover procedures to help every woman have it all - family, career, and a fabulous body.
Body Sculpting
In spite of the busy, active lifestyle of the modern mother, the biological shift that accompanies pregnancy can leave stubborn deposits of fat, particularly in the abdomen, hips, and thighs. Bearing a child can also lead to stretch marks in the same areas when the skin is stretched farther than it can handle, causing scarring. Fairfield County, Connecticut plastic surgeon Dr. Ellen Mahony’s Mommy Makeover options include abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), mini tummy tuck, liposuction, and body lift surgery for patients who want to address localized fat, stretch marks, and excess skin.
A tummy tuck addresses stretch marks and extra skin in the stomach area as well as tightening loose abdominal muscles to repair the stretching of pregnancy and childbirth. The mini tummy tuck is a less invasive version of the procedure, tailored to patients requiring less work in this area.
For mothers with a little stubborn fat left over from pregnancy, liposuction can help return you to your pre-pregnancy weight and shape. Liposuction is often accompanied by body lifting procedures designed to eliminate excess skin folds on almost any part of the body. With all of these options, a Mommy Makeover by Dr. Mahony will leave you looking as young and healthy as you feel.
Breast Lift/Augmentation
Pregnancy and breastfeeding take a toll on a woman’s breasts. Post-pregnancy plastic surgery, provided by Dr. Ellen Mahony in Fairfield County, Connecticut tackles stretched skin and drooping breasts that have lost volume as a result of pregnancy and breastfeeding. She has a variety of Mommy Makeover options designed to address the breasts and chest area for mothers who want a little pick-me-up.
Dr. Mahony’s Mommy Makeover procedures can restore your breasts to the size and shape they had before pregnancy by removing excess skin in the chest area to reposition the breasts. This procedure is known as a breast lift. For patients whose breasts may have lost some volume as a result of pregnancy, Dr. Mahony can insert breast implants designed to restore the breasts’ size and shape.
For patients who want to increase the size of their breasts, Dr. Mahony can perform breast augmentation surgery to help you augment them as you see fit. Dr. Mahony encourages her patients to communicate openly about their goals and expectations for the procedure because she understands that each woman’s needs and desires are totally unique. With your help, she will leave your breasts looking their very best.
Facial Procedures
The face is the most prominent and noticeable part of the human body. A beautiful face radiates health, youth, and joy. Unfortunately, the stress and lost sleep of parenting can leave a mother’s face looking tired, pinched, drooping, and aged — obscuring the natural beauty beneath. Until recently, mothers were forced to accept this trade-off. But with the latest post-pregnancy plastic surgery options offered by Dr. Ellen Mahony, Fairfield County, Connecticut mothers can enjoy the pleasures of motherhood as well as the satisfaction of natural, youthful beauty.
The eyes are often the first place fatigue shows on the face. Dr. Mahony can treat drooping, baggy eyelids with an eyelid lift (blepharoplasty). This procedure removes excess skin and fat around the eyes to restore an alert, youthful appearance to the face.
For patients with excess skin in other areas of the face, Dr. Mahony may recommend a facelift or a brow lift. The facelift tightens skin around the mouth and jaw, while the brow lift addresses excess skin on the upper face. For patients with drooping skin on the neck, Dr. Mahony may recommend a neck lift as a part of your Mommy Makeover. Dr. Mahony often suggests that these procedures be performed together, or in conjunction with an eye lift, for a more consonant, natural appearance.
Skin Rejuvenation
As the barrier between your body and the world, your skin is subject to significant wear and tear. This is even truer for mothers, who may not have had the time for proper skin care and upkeep over the years. Non-surgical skin care procedures from Dr. Ellen Mahony can help you regain your lost youth and turn back the hands of time. Dr. Mahony offers BOTOX® Cosmetic, dermal fillers such as Restylane®, Juvéderm®, and Radiesse™, chemical peels and collagen injections.
These procedures can help restore your skin to a younger, healthier look without invasive surgical procedures or long recovery times. Because the effects are generally temporary, they offer better flexibility than more permanent surgical treatments, often with similarly effective results. They are also less costly — perfect for mothers on a budget who don’t want to sacrifice their looks.
Dr. Mahony’s Fairfield County, Connecticut practice offers Mommy Makeover skin care procedures and products to address wrinkles, blemishes, scars, and various types of structural defects with ease and minimal discomfort. Temporary skin rejuvenation techniques are also a perfect way to evaluate your appearance before choosing a more permanent surgical option.
