Some of our absolute favorite patients to work with are our mommy makeover patients. Austin moms know the incredible toll that pregnancy puts on their bodies and we love helping moms get their pre-pregnancy bodies back. Stretch marks are a common effect that happens during pregnancy. Whether they’re on the abdomen, the breasts, legs, or arms, stretch marks are one of the main things that moms want to address during their mommy makeover. But can a mommy makeover actually remove them? This is a fabulous question, and we love answering it because we get the chance to talk about how skilled Dr. Tjelmeland is. Give us a call today at (512) 617-7500 to learn more and get started.
After you call, the next step is to set up a convenient time for you to come in and meet Dr. Tjelmeland for a preliminary consultation. Our office is uniquely designed to make all of our Austin patients feel comfortable and at home the moment you want through the door. During this first visit, you’ll get to talk with Dr. Tjelmeland about your goals for the procedure and discuss your medical history. Dr. Tjelmeland will perform an examination and start to create a tailored treatment plan just for you. This plan will guide you through the procedure and ensure you get the results you want with your mommy makeover.
Austin patients that want to work with one of the most respected surgeons and a true rising star in the plastic surgery field should get in touch with Dr. Tjelmeland today. One of the best ways to make sure that your stretch marks disappear after your mommy makeover is to work with a surgeon that is truly dedicated to the art and science of surgery.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
Austin moms that are finished with childbearing and breastfeeding will often focus on getting their bodies back to the way they were before they started family planning. But what often happens is that despite dieting and exercise, many moms find that they still have stubborn areas of fat, loose skin, and unsightly stretch marks on their breasts and stomach–sometimes even on their arms and legs.
A mommy makeover is usually a combination of two or more surgical procedures to address multiple issues that our patients want to address. This can include a breast lift, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction and others.
What Are Stretch Marks?
It’s important to understand what stretch marks are before we discuss how a mommy makeover can address them. Essentially, stretch marks are tears deep in the skin. With pregnancy, the abdomen can grow so quickly that the top layers of skin doesn’t have time to grow to adjust. These tears are exactly like scars and therefore can’t be removed with topical solutions like creams and lotions.
Stretch Marks and Your Mommy Makeover
Austin moms that have stretch marks can often eliminate them during their mommy makeover. For example, a tummy tuck can often get rid of stretch marks on the abdomen by removing that skin. The same is true with a breast lift. For stretch marks on the arms, an arm lift during the mommy makeover can help with that as well.
If you’re tired of trying to hide your stretch marks and want to get your pre-pregnancy body back, call Dr. Tjelmeland today at (512) 617-7500. Moms always deserve to look and feel their best so contact us today to get started with your mommy makeover.
