Dr. Liu and his team are experiencedSan Francisco plastic surgeonsthat offer a unique combination of plastic surgery procedures designed to restore a woman’s physical appearance following child bearing. This advanced, custom treatment is often referred to as a mommy makeover, and often includes breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck and liposuction.
Who is a candidate for Mommy Makeover in San Francisco / San Jose / San Mateo?
The best candidates for mommy makeover are women who are unhappy with stretched, distorted breasts, bulging stomachs, unsightly stretch marks and weight gain in the hips following child bearing. Although exercise and dieting following pregnancy are strongly recommended and may lead to weight loss, often the only treatment to restore stretched skin and enhance the appearance of the body is surgical intervention. However, a mommy makeover is not recommended immediately following child bearing or for women who plan to have more children and are breastfeeding.
How is amommy makeover performed?
Mommy makeover is a highly customized combination of plastic surgery procedures, specifically designed to treat each woman’s individual trouble areas following pregnancy. A mommy makeover may include a number of plastic surgery procedures that may be performed simultaneously or over time. Most San Francisco / San Jose mommy makeover patients require breast lift with or without implants, liposuction or tummy tuck surgery.
Details of themost commonprocedures:
的信徒ast Lift
After pregnancy and nursing, the breasts may droop, losing their natural firmness and perkiness, while the nipples can end up facing downwards or sagging below the breast crease. These changes can be amply addressed through a breast lift, which when combined with breast augmentation, recontours the whole profile for a more youthful, rejuvenated aesthetic that moms adore. If a breast lift is performed alone, incisions are made either around the areola, along the inframammary fold, or in an anchor shape from the areola running down and across the breast crease.
的信徒ast Augmentation
气后最显著的变化之一ldbirth is the deflation of the breasts. This unfortunate loss of breast tissue volume makes clothes and swimwear fit poorly, and may lower self-confidence when assessing one’s silhouette in the mirror. Breast augmentation with silicone or saline implants is a brilliant way to plump and enhance the bust, correct breast asymmetry, and restore the pre-pregnancy figure.

Liposuction
This is one of the safest and most often performed cosmetic procedures designed to streamline the torso, creating more elegant curves and doing away with unsightly fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Lipo can be performed on the arms, buttocks, hips, thighs, stomach or back. Our team excels at a variety of cutting edge techniques, including tumescent liposuction, VASER lipo using ultrasonic waves, andSmartLipo, using advanced laser technology.
Abdominoplasty
A tummy tuck can not only trim away excess fat and skin from the belly, it can also tighten weakened six-pack muscles that have separated during childbirth. Although abdominoplasty is not typically suggested as a weight loss technique per se, it can address that infamous irritating pooch that never responds to countless crunches or sit-ups. During surgery, an incision is made from hip to hip, which allows the scar to be hidden within the bikini line.
