Mommy Makeover in Louisville, KY

Louisville, KY board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Nana Mizuguchi frequently consults with women who desire to get their pre-pregnancy figure back. Even though childbirth is an exciting and amazing experience for a woman, it can alter the size and shape of various body parts — and can leave one feeling frustrated. The great news is that it's possible to get a tighter, slimmer figure thanks to the help of a mommy makeover at Mizuguchi Plastic Surgery. The mommy makeover procedure uses a blend of liposuction and skin removal to target the breasts, tummy, and lower body — essentially any area affected by pregnancy. In addition, nonsurgical procedures can be used to smooth surface irregularities, such as hyperpigmentation and blotchy skin, from the quick fluctuation and stretching of the tissue and skin during pregnancy.

Our Louisville, KY patients who receive a mommy makeover enjoy a few different benefits related to their procedures, such as:

• Undergoing multiple cosmetic procedures at once, rather than various recovery periods
• Feeling happy with the total contours and appearance of your physique, potentially for the first time in a long time
• Minimizing several post-pregnancy irregularities, like stretch marks and hanging skin
• Enhancing breast shape, size, and profile

A mommy makeover is a custom treatment, tailored for patients by Dr. Mizuguchi based on the specific body areas to be addressed. Many procedures can be completed together — the most common treatments are breast lift with or without implants, abdominoplasty, and liposuction. All of these procedures are performed using general anesthesia, taking 3 – 7 hours based upon the number of treatments. In addition, an overnight stay at the hospital may be required. Your treatment plan might also include nonsurgical skin rejuvenation, such as laser treatments and injectables, to soften facial lines and reduce surface irregularities.

After a recovery period in the hospital, you will start your recovery at home with rest and proper aftercare. This phase is generally a slow process. Standing upright will be hard the first couple of weeks, and a carefully followed, home treatment protocol will be needed to ensure the incisions and sutures heal properly. The majority of women find the healing phase can take about six months. Even though the primary recovery could take months, most patients are able to get back to a normal routine within a couple of weeks. Working out should wait for approximately two months. In the end, this surgery at Mizuguchi Plastic Surgery can have an incredible impact on the lives of our patients, giving them back their self-confidence.
