While most women find motherhood to be a rewarding, joyful experience (at least most of the time), the same feelings do not always ring true about the ways their bodies change after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Troublesome excess fat deposits, changes in breast size and firmness, sagging skin and stretch marks are just a few of the reasons many women turn to Dr. Hendricks for a mommy makeover.

Mommy makeover procedures

• Breast augmentation: Especially helpful after breastfeeding, this procedure will actually increase the size of the breasts and balance the size and shape of the two breasts.
• Breast lifts: This procedure helps saggy or droopy breasts look more youthful and perky without the use of silicone or saline implants.
• Tummy tuck: By removing excess skin and firming the abdominal muscles, this procedure can restore a flatter tummy that cannot be achieved through diet and exercise alone.
• Liposuction: Stubborn fat deposits after pregnancy often remain despite diet and exercise, and this procedure aids in contouring the body to its desired shape.

One or more of these mommy makeover procedures can help a mom feel sexier and more confident.

Deciding to undergo any cosmetic surgery procedure, whether invasive or non-invasive, is a big decision and one that should not be taken lightly. At Pacifica Cosmetic Surgery Center in Orange County, California, triple board-certified cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Hendricks and his team offer a variety of surgical and non-surgical physical enhancement treatments, and they are eager to sit consult with you to discuss the procedures you are interested in and how they may or may not achieve your aesthetic goals.

One of the most popular topics of conversation lately has been the popularity of what’s called “microdermabrasion,” which is a treatment intended to minimize wrinkles and improve the texture and color of your skin by removing the outermost layer of your skin leaving a more supple and vibrant appearance. Who would not want this??

We all know that aging and environmental factors such as sun exposure can take a devastating toll on your skin’s health and appearance, leaving you with lines, wrinkles, and skin dullness. Microdermabrasion is a quick, painless procedure that can reduce the effects of aging on your skin. If you have heard your friends talking about the “lunch-time peel,” they are talking about microdermabrasion, the highly effective alternative to laser or chemical peels that requires no down time following treatment.

If microdermabrasion sounds like something that you may like to try, or if you just want to come in and see some before and after pictures, please contact us at Pacific Cosmetic Surgery Center, serving patients in Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, and Irvine, California today to schedule your initial appointment.

The female body is an amazing vessel and a true work of art. Childbirth is nothing short of a true miracle, but whether a woman has one or many children, often her body does not snap back to its original shape once the pregnancy and breastfeeding is over. Sometimes diet and exercise simply are not enough to help moms:

• Firm loose or sagging skin
• Eliminate excess fat
• Regain their pre-pregnancy bodies
• Renew their self esteem

Mommy makeovers are an effective way for healthy moms to firm, lift, and smooth their bodies. There are a variety of cosmetic procedures that can achieve beautiful results, such as a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast augmentation or breast lift. The ideal candidate for a mommy makeover is a mom who:

• Practices healthy eating habits
• Exercises regularly with cardio and weight training
• Does not smoke
• Maintains a healthy weight for her size
• Limits consumption of alcohol
• Has a strong post-surgery support network to aid in her recovery
• Does not want to have additional children

While some new moms elect to undergo body sculpting procedures shortly after childbirth, these techniques are equally as effective for moms who have older children.
