Mommy Makeovers
For many women, the joys of motherhood come at a price – they find that the youthful figure that they had before childbirth and breastfeeding now sags or droops. But becoming a mom doesn't have to mean saying goodbye to a flat tummy and attractive breasts, thanks to the Mommy Makeover at Plastic Surgery Associates.
The term "Mommy Makeover" has gotten a lot of buzz recently, but what exactly is a Mommy Makeover? Usually a breast procedure, such as a breast lift or a breast augmentation is combined with either a tummy tuck or liposuction. The combination of these surgeries restores the two areas hardest hit by pregnancy – the breasts and the belly. Breast enhancement can create rounder, more youthful-looking breasts, while a tummy tuck can remove the excess skin that never goes away with workouts. Oftentimes, liposuction is incorporated to remove the stubborn pockets of fat that pregnancy can leave around the midsection. The result is a slim, flat midsection and shapely breasts that look as good or better than your "body-before-baby."
If you live in Santa Rosa, Marin, or Napa, plastic surgery to restore your pre-pregnancy body is a gift to yourself. You deserve to feel self-assured, and feeling great about yourself will enhance every aspect of your life. Your kids will benefit, too, from a happy mom who has the confidence to frolic on the beach or wear the latest jeans.
The Liquid Facelift
We hear a lot about "injectables" on talk shows and read about them in beauty magazines, but despite their growing popularity, many women don't really understand these remarkable products. At Plastic Surgery Associates, BOTOX® Cosmetic and JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel are two very different injectables that can be used to create a more youthful appearance without surgery.
BOTOX Cosmetic is used to relax the tiny muscles that cause forehead wrinkles and lines around the eyes. It is not a dermal filler such as JUVÉDERM. JUVÉDERM adds volume and hydration to areas of the face that have become wrinkled or lost their youthful fullness. It is most commonly injected to smooth out nasolabial folds – the deep creases that frame the mouth, sometimes called "smile lines."
By combining BOTOX Cosmetic treatments with JUVÉDERM injections, patients can see a dramatic improvement in both the upper and the lower face. This "liquid facelift" has no downtime, and costs much less than surgery. You can have these treatments on your lunch hour, and begin looking younger in a matter of days. Our Sonoma and Napa Valley day spa patients can take advantage of special offers in this month's newsletter.
Trade in Your Razor for Laser
More and more women and men are choosing to permanently reduce unwanted body hair with laser hair removal. Improvements in laser technology have made this quick, painless procedure an effective option for people of all different skin and hair types. A series of treatments is required since hair grows in cycles, and only the hair in the active growth phase is affected during a treatment. But after a few weeks, you may find that you no longer need to shave, wax, or pluck. Most of our patients report that eliminating the hassle, expense and discomfort associated with other hair removal methods is one of the greatest benefits of laser hair removal. Napa, CA, Santa Rosa, and Marin area patients can take advantage of our summer specials on laser hair removal.
