Mommy Makeovers In Scottsdale Arizona
As we are approaching the holiday season and New Year we also think of some New Year’s resolution and goals. How about some body improvement and rejuvenation. For all the new moms who went through pregnancy this year there are options! It’s not secret that once you are a mom things just don’t look quite the same as before. I know there are some super lucky girls out there who just bounce back (freak of nature) most of us just left with a new us. It takes time to adjust to the physical change mentally. What are we talking about? Well the flat and tight tummy we used to have is now somewhat soft and a bit saggy. And then we gain extra fat, every woman is different, but I hear it all the time, it’s either abdomen, thighs, or buttocks. This is why “Mommy Makeovers” are becoming popular.
Dr Joseph Berardi board-certified Scottsdale Plastic Surgeon at Berardi Aesthetics And Plastic Surgery, Scottsdale Arizona.
As a beauty blogger I often asked for tips about what plastic surgeon in Scottsdale I know and whose who, especially, when they just move to town. I recently stumbled upon Dr. Joseph Berardi a board-certified Scottsdale Plastic Surgeon at the Berardi Aesthetics And Plastic Surgery website where you can read about what options you can have when considering a Mommy Makeover. Just in case you are wondering it might include the following:
Liposuction
One of the most common procedures included in a mommy makeover is liposuction; a minimally invasive, only small incisions are required to access and remove unwanted body fat. This procedure allows you to easily contour your abdomen, thighs and buttocks after childbirth. Exercise will improve your results, but there is no need to wait months to get your body back. It only takes a few days to recover from liposuction although some bruising or swelling may last a bit longer.
Breast Procedures
Your breasts undergo changes during pregnancy. Once you have had a child, you may find that your breasts start to sag. Your breasts may end up larger or smaller than they were pre-pregnancy. Another common procedure for mommy makeovers is to correct all of these issues, which can be done easily with breast augmentation, reduction or lift procedures. Recovery after breast augmentation procedures is quick. You should be back to full speed in about just a few weeks.
Tummy Tucks
During pregnancy, your skin and muscles stretch and change. It can sometimes seem impossible to get your tummy back after childbirth. Older mothers are even more prone to a sagging belly and abdomen that refuses to return to a pre-pregnancy state. A tummy tuck can address belly sagging and help you eliminate stretch marks and any extra skin due to stretching. Recovery time for this type of procedure takes a few weeks, but the results are well worth it.
Skin Rejuvenation
Laser skin resurfacing, fillers and Botox can help you get your glow and youthful appearance back. The stresses of parenthood do not have to show on your face. Laser skin resurfacing can achieve noticeable improvement to your skins texture and appearance.
It’s time for you to feel as good or better after pregnancy as you did before. Mommy Makeovers are serious plastic surgery and should only be performed by a board certified plastic surgeon. Scottsdale Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Joseph Berardi is extremely experienced in all phased of the Mommy Makeover.

INSPIRATION: “Sarah’s Monique Lhuillier ensemble had quite a few colors going on so it was really important to make sure that her makeup didn’t compete. That being said, we really wanted to make it special with details that would complement the outfit. It was a moment of “less is more” and we decided on a special gold liner detail on the eye with eye gloss to keep everything dewy and fresh.”
Kiehl’s Breakout Control Targeted Acne Spot Treatment & Facial Lotion
Kiehl’s newest launches for this Fall: Dermatologist Solutions Breakout Control Targeted Acne Spot Treatment & Facial Lotion. This range rapidly reduces individual breakouts and calms all-over acne while brightening your skin.
Kiehl’s Breakout Control Targeted Acne Spot Treatment & Facial Lotion
Adult acne is a growing concern that affects all ages, genders and ethnicities (40 million people!). Kiehl’s introduces a fast-acting, gentle formula clinically demonstrated to reduce the appearance of breakouts and blemishes in as little as 24 HOURS. Via: Kiehl’s.
TM’s take: These products don’t have a scent/fragrance, which is a great plus. The face lotion glides on skin very smoothly and acts as a good primer for a makeup foundation. I don’t use it everyday as my main face lotion but on those occasions that I need extra TLC and have minor breakouts.
