Mommy Makeovers: a Growing Trend
December 26th, 2013
Women are postponing motherhood, waiting longer to have children today. What is the best age to have a baby? Many factors enter into this equation. From a purely biological viewpoint, the late teens or early twenties are best biologically, according to John Mirowsky, a sociologist at the University of Texas at Austin. Women in their twenties are least likely to have developed health problems that would put them or their babies at risk, and they have the lowest rates of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, and infertility. Physically speaking, it is apparent that younger women are able to weather pregnancy and bounce back more quickly than older moms.
Perhaps the growing trend of considering a Mommy Makeover reflects the desire to erase the physical toll that later childbearing sometimes brings. Many will agree that having children at any age is one of the most rewarding experiences a mother will have. However, the physical effects of pregnancy, especially multiple pregnancies, can leave unwanted and unflattering changes to your body. Common complaints from my patients include, loss of breast fullness and/or sagging, excess abdominal skin, stretched or torn abdominal muscles and umbilical hernia. Even if you adhere to the 25-35 pound weight gain during pregnancy, it’s often more difficult to get back into shape the older you are when you have a baby. No amount of exercise or weight loss can fix some of these problems. Fortunately, cosmetic surgery is an option to help a patient return to a pre-pregnancy appearance and restore the natural feminine shape following their pregnancy. Some of my happiest patients are women of all age-ranges who have chosen Mommy Makeovers.

No Implant Breast Enlargement
November 20th, 2013
Nipntuck Naturalâ„¢ is a revolutionary new way of thinking about plastic surgery. I am pleased to offer patients the option to choose new no implant breast enlargement surgery, as debuted on the KQRS Morning Show broadcast in Las Vegas, last year and I talked about it on stage this year. As Brad Blanks mentioned “Booty to Boob” is real and fat from one area can be used to sculpt fuller breasts without using implants.
Regenerative medicine features this specialized fat grafting procedure. Typical donor sites for fat cells include areas of the abdomen or flanks. Fat grafts naturally contain a population of adipose specialized cells. The regenerative properties of these cells are particularly effective for the new procedures, because the fat cells become a natural living part of the tissues wherever it is placed.
This revolutionary technique is not limited to cosmetic breast surgery. These special properties are beneficial for many types of anti-aging procedures, such as facial rejuvenation. Fat grafting is an outpatient, clinic-based procedure and the quick recovery is changing many aspects of cosmetic plastic surgery today. I find that my patients appreciate having another option when it comes to breast enlargement. Nipntuck Naturalâ„¢ is effective in using this new natural technique to offer fuller breasts, without the worry of having implants.
