Another trend that ASPS Member Surgeons are noticing is that the type of patient seeking "mommy makeover" plastic surgery is younger than a decade ago.
"In the past we saw a lot of women in their 50s getting these types of procedures. But today we are seeing young mothers in their 30s coming in for procedures such as tummy tucks and breast lifts. They don't want to wait years to reestablish how they used to look. They want their pre-baby bodies back now," said Dr. Haeck. The promise of getting her body back is what led 38-year-old Dana Van Gray to undergo surgery for a tummy tuck and breast augmentation just one year after having her last child. "I didn't like my stomach. I started noticing a muffin top and I thought - why wait? I'm young, I'm healthy and I want to look good now," Van Gray said. "More and more patients like Dana are coming in today asking for mommy makeovers, because women now openly talk about having these procedures. It's more accepted than it was ten years ago," said Van Gray's plastic surgeon, Allen Rosen, MD, an ASPS Member Surgeon in Montclair, New Jersey. "The techniques and the technologies are to the point where we can do these procedures in an outpatient setting in a very safe and effective fashion, minimizing the amount of downtime and pain. This appeals to our patients," said Dr. Rosen. Van Gray says that her new and improved body not only enhanced her looks, but also her attitude. "I feel good so I can be a better mom to my kids," Van Gray said. If you are considering a "mommy makeover" the ASPS has these tips:
