Richmond Mommy Makeover

Though glorious and wonderful in it’s own right, having children can also have some less glorious and wonderful side-effects, particularly for your body. Diet and exercise is always beneficial, but there are some things diet and exercise cannot fix, for example left-over hanging skin or sagging breasts. These days, many of these women are now turning to the Mommy Makeoever to help them get back into pre-baby form.

A Mommy Makeover is not one specific procedure, but rather a phrase coined to define an almost limitless combination of procedures Mom’s are getting to get their bodies back. The procedure is especially tailored to fit each Mom’s individual needs and goals. The most common Mommy Makeover procedures include abdominoplasty or tummy tuck, liposuction and breast lift with or without augmentation. Dr. Sundin will walk you through your options and the procedures in your consultation.

Richmond Plastic Surgery Helping You Achieve Your Body Goals

Summer has arrived and more men and women are hitting the gym in effort to put their best summer body forward. While some people will find success in the gym, many will be left feeling defeated when their trouble areas do not respond well to diet and exercise. Richmond board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Burton Sundin sees countless men and women who are looking for a solution to their trouble areas.

One of the most common summer procedures potential patients explore is Richmond liposuction. Liposuction has steadily gained popularity in recent years as techniques become safer and results become more impressive. Liposuction can be used to remove fat deposits from various parts of the body including the abdomen, hips, thighs and knees; all parts of the body that often don’t respond well to traditional diet and exercise. Patients who have had liposuction are left with a body that is more firm, more slender and better contoured.

Abdominoplasty is another surgical procedure both men and women may benefit from. More commonly known as a tummy tuck, men and women visit Dr. Sundin to undergo abdominoplasty for a firm, slender midsection. A tummy tuck is designed to tighten abdominal muscles and remove excess fat and skin. In some cases, liposuction may be used in conjunction with abdominoplasty for optimal results.

Are you not getting the results you want at the gym? Are you ready to see how plastic surgery can improve your trouble areas? Contact our office to schedule your confidential consultation with Dr. Sundin and be on your way to the perfect summer body.

Creating a Firm Midsection in Time for Summer – Richmond Tummy Tuck

Traditional diet and exercise may not always produce the results you want. Hours spent in the gym trying to firm up your midsection may prove unsuccessful. Abdominal muscles that have stretched due to multiple pregnancies often do not return to their original shape. Additionally, people who have undergone significant weight loss may be left with lose skin around the stomach. Richmond Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Burton Sundin uses abdominoplasty or Richmond tummy tuck to trim down your midsection getting your body summer ready.

Using the tummy tuck procedure Dr. Sundin removes excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen and tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall. Patients see results that reduce the protruding abdomen and leave them with a trim and fit abdominal profile. Both men and women can benefit from the versatile procedure that is Richmond abdominoplasty.

Dr. Sundin understands that no two patients are alike. For this reason, each tummy tuck procedure is custom tailored to the individual patient. While some patients need a complete tummy tuck to achieve their desired results, patients who’s trouble area is strictly the lower abdomen may be better candidates for Richmond mini-abdominoplasty.
A consultation with Dr. Sundin will be needed to determine which procedure will produce the best results for your individual needs.
