Mommy Makeover in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Pregnancy has dramatic effects on a woman's body, especially the breasts and abdomen; stretch marks, saggy breasts and loose skin around the midsection are common after giving birth. Since these concerns cannot be corrected with diet or exercise, cosmetic procedures are the most effective solution to help mothers return to their pre-pregnancy form. Combining two or more procedures into a "mommy makeover" is often a prudent idea, both from a medical and financial standpoint (for example, the patient only needs to be put under anesthesia once). A mommy makeover may include breast augmentation, liposuction, abdominoplasty and other body contouring surgeries. Pittsburgh plastic surgery provider, Lori Cherup of RADIANCE Plastic Surgery, helps mommy makeover patients look and feel rejuvenated after giving birth.

Dr. Cherup develops a mommy makeover treatment plan during a personal consultation. Depending on the anatomy, needs and goals of the patient, she recommends procedures that provide the most successful results. A patient's treatment plan may include:

• Breast augmentation: adds volume to breasts that look "deflated" after breastfeeding
• Breast augmentation with mastopexy( breast lift): adds volume and perkiness to breasts that sag
• Breast reduction: reduces the size of overly large or heavy breasts
• Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck): removes excess skin and fatty tissue in the midsection; tightens underlying muscles
• Mini tummy tuck: less invasive and extensive than a full abdominoplasty; smaller scars
• Liposuction: eliminates excess fat that has settled around the midsection, thighs or flanks; improves the contours of the body
• Lower body lift: eliminates excess skin from the buttocks and elevates the rear

Breast and body procedures may also be complemented with a facial procedure. Dr. Cherup offers complete facial rejuvenation, ranging from facelift surgery to injectable treatment with Botox or dermal fillers to photofacials and laser skin resurfacing.

Dr. Cherup is exceptionally skilled and extensively trained to produce remarkable results with minimal risk of complications. Though no surgery is risk-free, Dr. Cherup is a board-certified plastic surgeon with years of experience and a history of many satisfied patients.
