A new trend in plastic surgery provides mothers opportunity to get thier pre-baby bodies back by having plastic surgery after their pregnancy . The “mommy makeover,” a triple play of surgical procedures , is increasing in popularity across the country .

A mommy makeover often consists of a breast lift or breast augmentation , liposuction and a tummy tuck . In the last year , doctors across the nation performed over 325,000 mommy makeover surgeries on women between 20 and 40 years of age , up 11 percent from 2005, base on information from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Oklahoma Plastic surgeon, Dr. Juan Brou, whose plastic surgery center is based in Oklahoma City, said he has also seen a rise in moms looking for these mommy makeovers types of surgeries .

“Weight gain during pregnancy often will put fat deposits in undesireable locations ,” Brou said. “Someone can work and exercise very hard and these deposits still don’t go away. Some people just can’t shake it off.”

Many women turn to liposuction to get rid of these fatty areas. Breast lifts and breast augmentation are also popular post-baby plastic surgery procedures, Brou said.

“Even if women don’t breast feed, the breasts can still loose substance and volume,” Brou said. “Many women want their breast restored to their original look and volume .”

Tummy tucks are another plastic surgery procedure that is common and can eliminate stretch marks and diastasis . Diastasis occurs when a woman’s muscles in her abdomen get separated, which sometimes happens with women who carry large babies. This condition leaves a woman with a lower tummy that cannot be exercised away.

Brou pointed out that it is important for women considering having a mommy makeover to be sure they don’t intend to get pregnant again.

“I always tell the patient that if you want to have more kids to do that before the surgery,” Brou said. “Most commonly, patients came to see me after they’ve had about three children and are happy with their family’s size .”
