The tummy tuck procedure after pregnancy has been made wildly popular by celebrities. The “baby bump here one day, gone the next” mystery has perplexed many but proves to be a great option for women with stubborn belly fat that just won’t go away. This procedure is ideal for women eager to return to their pre-pregnancy body, but diet and exercise alone is not providing results after six months or more. The tummy tuck may be performed with other procedures (such as breast lift and body sculpting with liposuction) as part of a “new mommy makeover.” Another celebrity trend in plastic surgery that is popular for 2011 is the fat injection. While fat injections can enhance various places of the body, this year’s tendency is towards fat transfers from the stomach to the face. Ideal candidates for this procedure are usually seeking a longer lasting option to fill out the face (cheeks, lips, forehead, eyes) for a more youthful appearance where time has caused parts of it to sag. When considering any plastic surgery option, please consult with Dr. Williamson for more information and advice.
