The most popular trend to emerge from the democratization of plastic surgery is the “Mommy Makeover.” Motherhood is a joyful journey, but it’s also marked by sacrifice. A woman’s body undergoes dramatic changes after childbirth, many of which are irreversible through non-surgical means. A mommy makeover is an umbrella term for a handful of procedures that are designed to undo these changes, including a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, breast lift, and liposuction. The goal isn’t to make the patient look like a movie star, it’s to make them look – and feel – like they did before childbirth. To friends and family, a Mommy Makeover is a subtle change. But for mothers, a makeover rewards their dedication to their family by potentially restoring their confidence and self-esteem.

Most mothers wait until they are at a stable weight and no longer plan to have any more children before having a Mommy Makeover. It’s not atypical for women to wait 10 or more years before undergoing procedures. However, as cosmetic surgery techniques develop, Mommy Makeovers can be performed with minimal disruption to the routine of a busy working mother. Under general anesthesia, tummy tucks, breast augmentations and other procedures can be performed all at once in as little as two hours; and with gentler, less invasive technology and smaller incisions, recovery time is much shorter. For example, at the office of Dr. Stuart Kincaid in San Diego, tummy tucks can be combined along with ZERONA or VASER liposuction treatments, which are far less intrusive than conventional liposuction methods, which are available throughout San Diego. Breast augmentation procedures can also be performed concurrently with a tummy tuck. In this way, a Mommy Makeover can be less painful, less time-consuming, and even less costly when performed during the same surgery setting.

Many people may not know but there are actually several different types of liposuction that are currently available, one of which is VASER Hi-Def Liposuction.

What is VASER Hi-Def Liposuction

VASER Hi-Def Liposuction is a specific type of liposuction procedure that is used more to sculpt the body then to just remove unwanted fat. Traditional liposuction techniques usually fail to result in the “washboard ” stomach that many people spend hours in the gym for.

Unfortunately some body fat just can’t be burned away, no matter how many sit ups or miles you run. Its just a fact of life, some people will always have more fat then others, its genetics.

VASER Hi-def liposuction uses deep, superficial and transitioning techniques in specific anatomical areas to remove the fat like regular liposuction and creates a more athletic and muscular appearance, but the surgeon also spends more time sculpting the fat around the muscles, making them appear more defined and helping you show off that flat tummy or 6 pack you have been working for.

For those of us who just cant seem to burn off that last small layer of fat Hi-Def liposuction may just be the way to go.
