Tummy Tuck

Also known as an abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck removes unwanted fat and excess skin along the midsection.[1] After pregnancy, the abdominal muscles are often stretched out, Dr. Core can repair damaged muscles as he contours the belly region. After achieving the abdomen's desired dimensions, Dr. Core will skillfully suture the incisions closed, carefully redraping the skin. The result is a toned, pleasing midriff that accentuates a woman's best features.

Breast Lift

Gravity is an undeniable force. Over time, our bodies begin to sag, and pregnancy may accelerate the process. Breastfeeding can pull down on the nipples, changing their declination. A breast lift at Core Plastic Surgery addresses the factors that pull down on the bust. By clearing away excess skin and fat cells, a lift procedure repositions a woman's figure, making breasts sit more comfortably on the chest.

Diva Laser Vaginal Therapy

Childbirth can be stressful on the most intimate parts of a woman's body. To reclaim the contours and sensation of your pre-pregnancy form, consider diVa laser vaginal therapy at Core Plastic Surgery. Dr. Core can restore optimal circulation to the genital region, improving both the look and feel of the area.

Regardless of which suite of services you choose to include in your customized mommy makeover, Dr. Core can help revitalize your outlook.

Dr. Core can help patients who wish to improve the position of their breasts or perk up the tired and unhappy expressions on their faces. Eligible women also have no immediate plans to become pregnant again.

If plastic surgery procedures are performed, it is important to make sure you take some time away from work. Rest is the key to a successful recovery. You should also appoint a caregiver to help you with children and other responsibilities at home. The first few days following your mommy makeover are a time for your body to adapt to its new contours. Please do not rush the healing process; great things are worth the wait!
