Many female patients often ask Dr. Franklyn Elliott about their options for cosmetic procedures after pregnancy.  Dr. Elliott always recommends waiting until you are finished having children, before pursuing cosmetic surgery of the abdomen or tummy as your body will change with additional pregnancies.  After having children, some patients find their body is not what it once was. Depending on the areas of concern, Dr. Elliott can tailor a custom combination of cosmetic procedures to address your needs. post pregnancy plastic surgery atlanta ga

Facial, breast and body contouring procedures can be combined to address the effects of pregnancy to restore a youthful appearance.  Common mommy makeover procedures include breast surgeries, abdominoplasty and liposuction.  Women looking to restore lost volume in their breasts may consider breast augmentation, while patients noticing sagging breast may benefit from a breast lift. Patients suffering from overly large breasts may be good candidates for breast reduction surgery. During a consultation, Dr. Elliott will thoroughly discuss your cosmetic desires and realistic expectations.

Body contouring procedures can address sagging skin stretched during pregnancy. Abdominoplasty, commonly known as tummy tuck surgery, can eliminate excess skin from the abdomen while tightening weak abdominal muscles that have separated after pregnancy.  Liposuction can be performed around the hips, legs, buttock and abdomen for patients looking to eliminate small, stubborn pockets of fat.

Although  recovery is typically longer for combined cosmetic procedures, patients can benefit from collective surgical and facility fees. If you are interested in combined cosmetic procedures or an individual procedure, please call our office to schedule a consultation.

breast lift atlanta georgia mastopexyWoman’s breasts change over time due to numerous factors causing many women to become dissatisfied with their breasts’ shape and firmness. Breasts can gradually become saggy and lose skin elasticity from pregnancy, extreme weight gain or loss, age, and heredity.

As a board certified plastic surgeon with over 25 years experience specializing in breast procedures, Dr. Franklyn Elliott finds that many patients who are discouraged by droopy breasts and lax skin may benefit from breast lift surgery. Mastopexy, more commonly known as breast lift surgery, remedies these unwanted effects by raising the position of sagging breasts. Dr. Elliott then removes excess skin and tightens remaining tissue while reshaping the breasts based on your individual case.

Breast lift surgery can also be combined with other breast procedures including breast augmentation and breast reduction. For patients looking to lift breasts and increase volume, breast implants can used in conjunction with breast lift surgery.  For patients looking to decrease sagginess and volume, Dr. Elliott may perform a breast reduction surgery at the same time as lift.

Breast lift surgery is also a common choice for mommy makeover procedures.  Pregnancy can alter multiple areas of the body including breasts, abdomen and unwanted fat pockets. Patients may opt to have a breast procedure in combination with other cosmetic treatments such as tummy tuck or liposuction.

Liposuction in AtlantaMany women often complain of stubborn fat around their abdomen.  As women age, especially after menopause, excess fat around the stomach can be difficult to eliminate solely through exercise and diet. For some patients, it seems that fat in this region does not respond well to even the healthiest lifestyle.  With age, muscle mass gradually decreases and fat accounts for a larger percentage of your overall weight.  For over 30 years, Dr. Franklyn Elliott has performed body contour procedures to help these patients eliminate stubborn fat and enhance their silhouette when diet and exercise won’t help.  He works with each of his patients to maximize their results.

Dr. Elliott performs abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck surgery, on patients looking to eliminate excess fat and skin around their abdomen. During a tummy tuck procedure, excess skin and fat is removed. This surgery can also tighten weak abdominal muscles that may have become separated during pregnancy or childbirth.

Some women combine tummy tuck with other procedures for a total mommy makeover. Combinations of cosmetic procedures are specific to each individual’s needs, but commonly include breast surgery, abdominoplasty and/or liposuction.  During a consultation, Dr. Elliott will thoroughly discuss with the patient their goals and options for surgery, as well as what they can expect pre- and post-surgery.
