Carrying a child and becoming a mom is a monumental experience like none other. But having a baby changes absolutely everything, including your body.  No matter how much research you do, you’re not really prepared for the changes your body undergoes during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and motherhood.  Your once full and perky breasts may sag or droop now. Or you may have a little bit of extra skin at the bottom of your tummy you just can’t seem to shake.  A mommy makeover at Kadz Plastic Surgery can help you reclaim your pre-baby body by addressing some of the changes your body has undergone.  Read on to learn what’s included with a mommy makeover and the benefits of undergoing this popular procedure.  What Does a Mommy Makeover Procedure Include?  At Kadz Plastic Surgery, a mommy makeover typically includes the following procedures.  Tummy Tuck  Many women have difficulty bouncing back after the dramatic changes their stomachs go through during pregnancy. Since your tummy had to stretch so much to accommodate your growing baby, you might be left with stubborn excess skin that just won’t tighten up.  A tummy tuck can create a smoother and tighter-looking abdomen by removing excess skin and fat that won’t respond to exercise.  Additionally, it’s common for your abdominal muscles to weaken and sometimes separate during pregnancy. This is a condition known as diastasis recti and can lead to the appearance of a protruding “pouch” of sorts.  As part of a mommy makeover, a tummy tuck can tighten, tone, and even strengthen your abdominal muscles to create a firmer and better-sculpted contour.   Breast Lift or Augmentation  During pregnancy, and especially while breastfeeding, your breasts become larger and feel fuller. However, once you stop breastfeeding, they lose a significant amount of volume. As a result, they lose the filled-out contour they once had and may begin to sag or appear flatter.  During your mommy makeover, you have the choice between a breast lift or a breast augmentation, also known as an enhancement.  During a breast augmentation, implants are inserted to improve the shape and volume of your breasts and increase the overall size. Whereas a breast lift simply restores your breasts’ natural teardrop shape without increasing their size.   Monsplasty  During and after pregnancy, your body begins to store fat in new places, one of them being the pubic area. This can result in a slight bulge to your pubis mons that most women would rather do without.  During a monsplasty, the excess fat in the mons area is removed to create a smoother and more appealing contour. It also helps create a more cohesive look when you’re already getting tighter and more toned with a tummy tuck.  Benefits of Mommy Makeover Surgery  Some people wonder whether a mommy makeover procedure is really worth it or if they’d be better off with non-surgical treatments. But the decision is easier to make once you learn about the multitude of benefits of a mommy makeover at Kadz Plastic Surgery.  Significant Results Can Be Achieved Mommy makeovers can create dramatic before and after pictures since multiple procedures are done at once. You’re not just changing one small feature on your body; you’re undergoing a pretty serious makeover that will alter the way multiple areas look.   It Doesn’t Matter When You Became a Mom  There is no age limit when it comes to reclaiming your body. Whether you became a mom a year ago or two decades ago, a mommy makeover may be right for you. When your body undergoes such drastic changes, it’s easy to feel like a completely different person. But Dr. Kadz can help you feel more like yourself.  Treatment Is Highly Customizable  At Kadz Plastic Surgery, we know that every mom and every body is different. We also know that not everyone’s body changes in the same ways. Each person has personal areas they’d like to improve, and we’re ready to help in any way we can. That’s why our mommy makeover procedures can be customized and added to in order to better fit your individual needs. You are in full control of everything that is done.  Mommy makeover surgery can include: Liposuction Arm tuck Brazilian butt lift  Vaginal rejuvenation  When you come for a consultation at our Beverly Hills office, we will discuss your cosmetic concerns, what areas you’d like to target, and what kind of results you’re hoping to achieve.  If you know you want additional procedures beyond the three included in our standard mommy makeover package, make sure to tell us at your consultation.  Combining Procedures Saves Money  Once you address one cosmetic concern, oftentimes, your other concerns seem to stand out even more when you look in the mirror. Additionally, having one surgery at a time is not only taxing on your body but on your wallet, too.  Combining procedures can save you thousands of dollars compared to getting individual surgeries and help you achieve the body you’ve longed for in a shorter amount of time.  It also minimizes the amount of time you have to take off from work since you’re able to recover from everything at the same time.  Is a Mommy Makeover Right for Me?  Mommy makeover surgery may be right for you if you: Are in good overall health Want to restore your pre-baby body Have realistic expectations  Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding  At Kadz Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, CA, you’ll always receive high-quality care and attention.

Do you wear shirts and dresses with sleeves in the summer because you feel self-conscious about the appearance of your upper arms? Do you believe that your arms are making you look older or heavier than you really are? If so, you may be considered a good candidate for an arm tuck at the office of Dr. Bruce Kadz in Beverly Hills, CA. This procedure can improve the appearance of your arms and help you to feel more confident in your body. How Does an Arm Tuck Work? An arm tuck improves the appearance of the upper arm, primarily, by removing excess skin. This is accomplished thanks to a strategically placed incision. There are three places the incision can be placed depending on your unique circumstances. The exact placement of the incision will be discussed during your initial consultation. We can also advise you on whether you will benefit from other procedures, like liposuction, during your initial consultation. Other ways an arm lift improves the appearance of the upper arms include tightening loose skin and removing a small amount of excess fat. However, you will need upper arm liposuction if you are concerned about a large amount of fat. What Happens During the Procedure?  The arm lift process can be broken down into a few simple steps. The first step involves preparing you for your procedure. First, we will ensure that your upper arm skin is not irritated. If it is, we will not be able to proceed with the procedure as scheduled. Assuming your skin is free from irritation and you are not ill, we will sanitize the upper arms. Then, we will use a washable marker to guide the incision placement in the next step. The last part of the preparation process is to ensure that you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. If you only need an arm lift, you will most likely be administered a local anesthetic. If you are improving the appearance of other regions of your body, too, you will probably be given general anesthesia. We will advise you on the right type of anesthesia based on your health and goals during your initial consultation. The Second Step The second step of an arm lift involves making careful incisions guided by the lines we drew in the preparation step. These incisions will allow us to remove a small amount of fat between your underarm and elbow. However, you shouldn’t expect much fat loss from an arm lift; it is not a fat removal procedure. Once we’ve removed some of your excess fat, we will remove any excess upper arm skin you may have. Once you no longer have any excess upper arm skin, the remaining skin will be tightened. If you are concerned about a large amount of upper arm fat, we can insert a cannula and suction device into the incisions made to remove the excess skin and remove a lot of upper arm fat. The Final Step Once your excess upper arm skin has been removed, your remaining upper arm skin has been tightened, and we have removed excess upper arm fat, your incisions will be sutured closed. Then, you will wait in your hospital gown for the effects of the anesthesia to wear off. Once you are fully awake, we will review your post-op care guidelines with you. Make sure you have a ride home; you will not be able to drive after the procedure. What Happens During the Recovery Process?  Everyone’s post-op recovery process is unique. If you have a sedentary job, you may only need to take three to five days off from work to focus on your recovery. However, you should keep in mind that you cannot drive within 24 hours of taking certain analgesics. Therefore, you may need to work from home or have someone drive you to work if you take prescription analgesics after your surgery. If you have a very active job, you may need to take a couple of weeks off from work to recover. Regardless of how much time you take off from work to recover, you need to keep in mind that rest is crucial to the recovery process. You should aim to sleep for nine hours consecutively every night, and you should also nap whenever you feel particularly tired. Don’t be surprised if you need to nap during the first one to three days post-op if you get general anesthesia. What Can I Do To Speed Up My Recovery Process?  If you want your recovery process to go as quickly as possible, it’s not just important that you rest. It is also important that you eat and drink right. For the first two weeks post-op, it is crucial that you do not drink alcohol. Alcohol consumption will affect your blood pressure and lengthen your recovery time significantly. It is also important to avoid nicotine consumption during this time to keep your blood pressure normal. In addition to not smoking and drinking alcohol, you need to make sure you’re staying hydrated. Your urine should be pale throughout the recovery process. If you notice it is dark, make a point to drink more hydrating fluids. Also, make sure you are eating plenty of protein and vitamin C. These nutrients, particularly if you are well hydrated, will be used to bolster the collagen in your skin so it can heal the incisions made during your surgery. Am I a Good Candidate for This Procedure?  We will advise you on whether you are a good arm tuck candidate during your initial consultation once we have discussed your health thoroughly, discussed your desired outcome, and evaluated your current aesthetic. If you are relatively healthy and neither pregnant nor breastfeeding, there is a good chance you will qualify if you’re worried about the appearance of your upper arms. Just keep in mind that this procedure may not be ideal if you plan to become pregnant. Every pregnancy is unique, but it is not uncommon for pregnant women to gain upper arm fat during their pregnancy. If you gain and subsequently lose a significant amount of weight in your upper arms, there is a chance that you will be left with excess or loose skin and need a follow-up procedure.   Am I a Good Candidate for Liposuction?  Whether you are a good liposuction candidate largely depends on how much subcutaneous fat you have in your areas of concern. While you may have visceral fat, lipo can’t do anything about it. It can only remove excess fat near the surface of the skin. Generally, there should be at least one inch of pinchable fat in an area of concern, like the upper arms, but there can’t be too much excess subcutaneous fat. As a general rule of thumb, if you are no more than 30 pounds from your goal weight, you will probably qualify for liposuction. However, this procedure is not right for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and it may not be right for women who plan to become pregnant in the future. It may not be right for pregnant women due to the potential of significant fat gain and the need for a follow-up procedure. Where Can Lipo Remove Fat From?  Liposuction can be used to remove excess subcutaneous fat from pretty much anywhere there is the right amount of excess fat. For instance, it can be used to remove a significant amount of fat from the upper arms. It can also be used to remove excess fat from other areas, including the chest, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, back, and neck. How Long Will My Lipo Results Last?  Liposuction removes a large percentage of the fat cells in the treatment areas. After the procedure, the treated areas are permanently smaller because adults can’t grow new fat cells. However, you’ll need to keep your weight relatively stable after your procedure for permanent results. Schedule Your Initial Consultation Today Do you think an arm tuck would help you improve your self-confidence? Do you think exercise would be easier if you had less upper arm skin? If so, you may be considered a good candidate for an arm lift. It helps to improve the appearance of the upper arms by removing excess skin, tightening loose skin, and removing a little bit of fat.

Many women around the world wish they could enhance the size or symmetry of their breasts. The good news is that you can — with breast augmentation in Beverly Hills. This procedure offers you a solution to get the silhouette you have always wanted, regardless of what shape you may be starting from.  If you want to know the ins and outs of this procedure before booking an initial consultation, here is what you need to know.  What Is Breast Augmentation? Breast augmentation surgery is the term used in the plastic surgery industry to talk about breast enhancement. This procedure can modify the shape and size of the breasts by using different types of implants.  Oftentimes, the desire to make changes to the bustline is motivated by aesthetic goals. At other times, the motivation may be a medical one.  This procedure can help correct tissue loss following a surgery (most often, a mastectomy due to a battle with breast cancer). However, it can also be a great way to simply boost volume if you have any lingering dissatisfaction with your bustline.  Our goal is three-pronged: we want to help you improve your shape, fullness, and size all in one fell swoop. Why Choose Breast Augmentation? There are myriad reasons to consider breast augmentation surgery. Here are a few of the top reasons we hear from our patients at Kadz Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, CA. Improving Your Figure  Do you feel that your breasts are too small for your frame? Any glance at popular entertainment and social media will make it clear that a certain silhouette is prized in the U.S. However, not everyone is born with a sizable bust, and the size of many women’s breasts is not in proportion to the rest of their bodies. Breast augmentation can help. Our breast enhancement procedure gives patients the full chest they desire and helps balance their overall figure. Improving Symmetry It is relatively common to see women who have uneven breasts. This asymmetry can present a challenge when it comes to finding clothes or bras that fit well. A shirt or bra may fit well on one side but appear less than flattering on the other. Fortunately, we can help correct the symmetry of your breasts with augmentation. Regaining Your Breasts Many women desire breast augmentation in Beverly Hills for medical reasons. If you have lost breast tissue due to a necessary mastectomy, you might want to restore your figure to what it was before (or enhance your previous size).  Kadz Plastic Surgery can help you regain your silhouette after a mastectomy. Types of Implants While every procedure that we perform will be unique to you, there are a few options to choose from when it comes to your implants. You will have to decide between the three major types of implants:  Saline Silicone Structured saline  Here is what you need to know about each type.  Saline Saline is one of the most popular options for natural-looking breasts. These implants are filled with sterile salt water, so they are completely natural. Most are implanted empty and are filled during the procedure so that we can achieve perfect symmetry in your new silhouette. The FDA has approved saline implants for women 18 and older. Silicone On the other hand, silicone implants are filled before they are implanted. They are known to feel more like natural breast tissue. Many patients believe that silicone breast implants feel more realistic than saline implants. Silicone implants are FDA-approved for women ages 22 and older. Structured Saline Structured saline implants are another option. These implants are filled with sterile salt water. Unlike traditional saline implants, structured saline implants also hold an inner structure to give them a realistic look and feel. They could be a good midway point if you are uncertain about saline vs. silicone implants.  Of course, we will answer all of your questions regarding which implant type is best for you during your first consultation.  Who Is the Ideal Candidate for Breast Augmentation? Are you convinced that breast augmentation surgery is the right fit for you? It’s time to look at the ideal candidate for this procedure.  You might be surprised to learn that most women can benefit from breast augmentation in Beverly Hills.
