Mommy Makeover Surgeries Set to Peak in May and June

  SALT LAKE CITY, UT - 05/11/2016 (PRESS RELEASE JET)

The recent trend of women with children increasing plastic surgery services in the months of May and June is expected to continue during 2016. These plastic surgery procedures, commonly referred to as mommy makeovers, are very popular as the summer months approach. A mommy makeover is a wide array of plastic surgery procedures that mothers utilize to reclaim their pre-child birth bodies, or make the significant changes to their appearance that they have always dreamed about. 

The fact is that most women are not happy with their bodies after child birth. In fact, recent studies have shown that 31% of women claim to "hate" their bodies after going through a pregnancy. This is because pregnancy alters hormones and changes the body in many ways that women view as negative, impacting them both physically and emotionally. They quickly learn that diet and exercise is usually not enough to effectively combat or reverse these changes. For that reason no matter how much they diet and exercise, they are not satisfied with the results they achieve. They need something more. 

The great news is that with new technology, and more highly trained professionals, the accessibility and affordability of plastic surgery procedures has dramatically increased. This has opened the door to more options for mothers to improve their bodies and self-esteem. It also has helped to reduce the past stigma associated with plastic surgery. As plastic surgery has become more common, it has become more accepted by our society as a leading way to make dramatic improvements to your body. 

The most common plastic surgery procedures utilized by moms for their mommy makeovers in the months of May and June include:

Tummy Tuck - The technical name is abdominoplasty, but most moms refer to it as a tummy tuck. This procedure is ideal for women who have excess fat or skin around their midsections. A tummy tuck can also restore weakened or separated muscles in the abdomen providing a smoother and firmer stomach look. As most moms know, diet and exercise alone cannot always give you the results you would like. You are fighting with age, heredity, and the weight fluctuations you have experienced due to pregnancy. A tummy tuck may be the solution for you.

Breast Augmentation - Over 30% of all breast augmentation procedures are undertaken by mothers between the ages of 30 and 39. This flies in the face of the common notion that breast augmentation is mainly used by women in their 20's who simply want to increase the size of their breasts. Instead mothers are more frequently using this procedure to regain shape and firmness, not necessarily change their size. Due to the options and flexibility of breast augmentation surgery it is a great procedure to help mothers restore their pre-pregnancy busts.

Liposuction - Liposuction is commonly referred to as lipo by moms. This procedure slims and reshapes chosen areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits. This effectively reshapes your body while improving proportions. The most common areas where liposuction is performed on moms include: thighs, hips, butt, waist, upper arms, back, chin, neck, and ankles. Liposuction is not as invasive as other procedures so it can be completed simultaneously with a tummy tuck or breast augmentation. 

Thigh Lift - A thigh lift is less talked about but a popular option for a mommy makeover. A thigh lift can reshape a women's thighs through the removal of excess skin and sometimes fat (liposuction is typically used if only fat removal is desired). This makes your thighs and lower body more proportioned and contoured. 

These procedures give both old and new moms alike an increased confidence in themselves and their updated bodies. This can be very important at a time when a woman's life seems to revolve around her children. A mommy makeover is something she can do for herself, which allows her to feel more like herself again. 

Any moms interested in a Utah mommy makeover are highly encouraged to contact a licensed plastic surgery professional for a free consultation to explore their wants and options. As the summer approaches now is the time to improve your body and get the look that you have been dreaming about.
