The Mommy Makeover remains one of the most commonly performed Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Procedure combinations in the San Francisco Bay Area. Today, on the San Francisco Plastic Surgery Blog, I answer the top 10 Mommy Makeover FAQs (frequently asked questions).

1 – What is a Mommy Makeover?

What is a Mommy Makeover? – The procedure is actually two procedures: one enhances the breasts while the other addresses the abdomen. Since both the belly and breasts are affected by pregnancy, this combination of repairs is coined the Mommy Makeover; however, the combination is also frequently used after weight loss for women and men (Daddy Do-over).

2 – Am I a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

For the answer to this, and there rest of the Mommy Makeover top ten frequently asked questions check out the San Francisco Plastic Surgery Blog:

More and more patients are using GLP-1 medications to successfully lose weight. The advantage of GLP-1 treatment is the ability to maintain weight loss and improve the associated medical conditions, like diabetes and hypertension, that can lead to complications. Since this class of drugs is relatively new, the risks are still being worked out.

Many patients seek body contouring procedures for loose skin after successful weight loss from GLP-1 treatment, therefore it is important to further examine these novel weight loss therapies. What are GLP-1 medications, and how do they affect cosmetic plastic surgery are what we will discuss today on the San Francisco Plastic Surgery Blog.

People get Arm Lifts (medically known as Brachioplasty) primarily to address sagging, loose, or excess skin on the upper arms—often called “bat wings“, that creates an undesirable appearance, discomfort or functional issues. This cosmetic plastic surgery procedure removes excess skin and fat while tightening the underlying tissues for a more toned, contoured look. Exercise and diet alone can’t fix significant skin laxity, so surgery becomes an option when nonsurgical methods fall short.

The clinical management of children and adolescents presenting with gender dysphoria or gender incongruence has undergone rapid change, and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) wishes to offer guidance to members providing gender surgery services for this population. This position statement discusses the views of ASPS on breast/chest, genital, and facial gender surgery for individuals under the age of 19.

Today’s release is very similar to guidelines issued two years ago, and has been reinforced with continued clinical research into the well being of our patients.

It should be noted that ASPS members do the vast majority of gender affirming surgery for men and women, cis and trans. This position takes into consideration both the benefits and harms that irreversible medical decisions have, specifically for the treatment of patients below the age of 19.

Patients increasingly prefer more proportionate implants that fit active lifestyles and leaner athletic body proportions over dramatic sizes. This includes popular taglines like “yoga boobs” and “ballerina breasts” for subtle enhancements. Big, bold looks are declining in favor of individualized outcomes. Many opt for modest sizing based on chest width, tissue thickness, and shape rather than cup size alone.

Hybrid approaches are also becoming more popular. Combining smaller implants with fat transfer (autologous fat grafting) for a more organic feel, shape, and modest volume increase, often avoiding overdone, rounder results.

On the other hand, much larger breast implants have also been approved by the FDA, primarily to match larger breast reconstruction after a mastectomy, with the maximum size currently set at 1445 cc.
