Having children is certainly one of the most rewarding things a woman can do. The effects of giving birth on a woman’s body, however, can be long-lasting. Some women find that their skin has become loose, their breasts have changed, they have stretch marks, or they have fatty deposits that a healthy diet and exercise cannot eliminate.

While these after effects of pregnancy used to be an unchangeable reality for mothers, women can now look they way they did before their pregnancy by taking advantage of the developments in cosmetic surgery.

Women choose to have surgery to regain the bodies they had before their pregnancy because a strict diet and exercise regimen is not working. While some women opt for procedures soon after giving birth, others wait several years to have surgery. If a woman feels she is too busy when her children are young, she can wait to have the procedures done and still have a successful surgery.

Procedures Involved

Dr. David Broadway in Denver is committed to helping his patients feel great about the way they look. Though mothers have gone through a lot during pregnancy, Dr. Broadway offers several procedures that can help them look the way they once did. Procedures that may be used in a “mommy lift,” as post childbearing surgery is often called, include:

• Liposuction
• Breast reduction or augmentation
• Tummy tuck

Not all the possible procedures are always necessary, as every woman’s body is different. Dr. Bray Jr. has experience providing mothers with “mommy lifts.”

Because skin and muscles are stretched so much during pregnancy, many women find that their stomachs will never be flat and firm again. The stretching causes the skin and muscles in the abdomen to become loose. A tummy tuck will take care of any flabby skin and muscles that diet and exercise cannot improve. This procedure eliminates loose skin and tightens the stretched muscles.

Liposuction techniques have greatly improved in recent years. As part of the “mommy lift,” this procedure can remove unwanted fat without much post-operative bruising or pain. Dr. Broadway uses the most up to date methods of liposuction, ensuring that the procedure will be as quick and easy as possible.
