Obesity is Costly – Especially for Women

Generally speaking, women have higher living expenses than men- makeup, hair products, skin care products, waxing, weekly manicure and pedicures, monthly facials, quarterly microdermabrasion, feminine products, etc. All of these add up to lots of dollars spent in the long run.

In the modern era, the term “mommy makeover” gets used a lot on web sites and in marketing. In my own practice, I call it postpartum restoration which I think sounds more professional and true to the actual focus of the surgery. Whether it’s a makeover or restoration the goal is the same. It’s about making women who have had children feel normal again and it is one of the most rewarding parts of my practice.  The Components of a Mommy Makeover There are usually two components to this kind of restoration: breast enhancement and rejuvenation of the abdomen.  Breast… Read More
