Seattle Mommy Makeover Specialist – Dr. Lisa Precht
Serving Bellevue, Seattle, Tacoma

Being a mother is one of the most rewarding experiences of a woman's life. Unfortunately, pregnancy and breast-feeding often take a significant toll on a woman’s body.  Unwanted changes may include sagging breasts, widened areolas, stretch marks, loose abdominal skin, loose abdominal muscles resulting in the dreaded  “pooch”, and pockets of fat in the abdomen and hips that no amount of dieting and exercise can seem to fix.

Today’s moms are realizing that they don’t have to sacrifice their appearance just because they’ve had children.  More and more women are turning to cosmetic surgery to reclaim their bodies and their self-image. The Mommy Makeover refers to an individualized plan of treatment that will address your specific problem areas allowing you to enjoy the body and confidence that you deserve.

Women who experience sagging breasts following pregnancy and breast-feeding may benefit from a breast lift, a procedure that removes the excess skin and lifts the breasts to restore their natural youthful contour and shape.  Women with large breasts may wish to undergo a breast reduction at the same time as the breast lift.  Enlarged areolas are a common result of pregnancy and this can also be corrected with surgery.

As the body prepares for childbirth and breast-feeding, the fatty tissue in the breast is replaced with milk glands that cause the breast to swell.  When these glands shrink, women are often left with breasts that are smaller than they were before pregnancy.  Women who have lost breast volume may benefit from a breast augmentation, where implants are inserted to restore the natural fullness of the breasts.  There is a wide range of implant sizes that you can try on before surgery in order to choose exactly how much volume you wish to restore.  Women who have lost breast volume and have sagging breasts can undergo a breast lift at the same time as a breast augmentation.

Pregnancy often results in unwanted changes in the abdominal area. Mothers are often left with stretch marks, loose skin, and more fat in the abdomen and hips. The “post-baby pooch” is often a combination of excess skin and fat as well as loose abdominal muscles. If excess fat alone is the issue, liposuction may be performed to flatten the tummy and to contour the waist and hips. Women with loose skin may benefit from an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) where excess skin and fat are removed. Loose abdominal muscles can be tightened during the tummy tuck. Dr. Precht, a renowned Seattle mommy makeover specialist, performs liposuction as part of the tummy tuck procedure so that the maximal amount of fat is removed in order to achieve the best cosmetic outcome.

Following pregnancy, fat can also redistribute to other areas that were not a problem for women before the pregnancy.  Excess fat may accumulate on the flanks, hips, inner or outer thighs, arms, neck, or other areas.  These accumulations of fat can often be effectively treated with liposuction alone.

Part of your Mommy Makeover may include non-surgical options to revitalize your appearance.  Laser skin rejuvenation, Botox, and facial fillers are an excellent way to counteract the tired appearance you may have noticed from the lack of sleep and the aging process.

The Mommy Makeover is becoming more and more common as women are realizing that they no longer have to live with their post-baby body and can restore their breasts and bodies to their youthful firmness.  In fact, most women only wish that they had done it sooner.  At your consultation, Dr. Precht will listen to your concerns and together you will develop an individualized treatment plan that will allow you to achieve the appearance that you desire.  Feeling good about yourself translates to an increased confidence and self-esteem that enables you to be an even better mother!
