While having a child brings so much happiness to you and those around you, you may not be as excited about the changes in your body. Now with the help of Shu Cosmetic Surgery you can reclaim your pre-baby figure with a combination of procedures known as the Mommy Makeover.

Many women of all ages in the Minneapolis and St. Paul areas are self-conscious about their new body image after childbirth and would like to look and feel their best when returning to careers and hectic lives. It is important to realize that these procedures can be done on anyone wanting to feel better about themselves, even if your children are older.

Which procedures are generally included in the Mommy Makeover?

Liposuction: This is excellent for removing pockets of pregnancy fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Cosmetically speaking successful liposuction is measured in inches rather than pounds. Dr. Shu prides himself on being able to offer the most diverse types of liposuction in the state of Minnesota.

Tummy Tuck or Mini Tuck: This is a surgical procedure designed to flatten the abdomen by tightening the muscles in the abdomen wall and/or removing excess skin and fatty tissue.

Breast Surgery: We offer many types of breast surgery at Shu Cosmetic Surgery. We will help you choose your best option, whether it is implants, breast lifts, or a breast reduction.

Cellulite Treatment: This is a non-surgical procedure that provides a marked reduction in skin dimpling from cellulite and an increased appearance of skin smoothness.

Perhaps you even have asymmetric breasts that have made it embarrassing for you to wear certain clothes.

Furthermore, you can decide just how big you want to go, so you can find the implant size that is perfect for you.

Furthermore, getting breast implants is the best way to correct asymmetrical breasts, which is a very common occurrence in women. At the same time, implants give your breasts that perky, firm look that can often times disappear as you age. In a way, breast implants can finally give you the confidence in your appearance that you have always wanted.

So if you are interested in having this procedure done, then you will want to know what to expect. For starters, you should see a professional plastic surgeon to decide which size implants are best for your body and frame. From there, you can schedule the appointment for the surgery. You should expect to be in the hospital for a couple of days so that you can be monitored before you will be allowed to leave. From there, it is a short process of allowing the incisions to heal and close up before you will be back to your normal life.

Fuller Breasts in the New Year from Dr. Shu who Performs Breast Implants in Minneapolis

Breast implants are artificial materials that are used to enhance the size of the breasts. Breast augmentation in Minneapolis is one of the most sought after cosmetic surgeries by women today. Silicone and saline are the types of implant material that are used today. The type of implant material that the doctor recommends depends on the patient’s goals and needs.

Patients who get breast augmentation must be driven home by a family member or friend. They are advised to have someone stay with them for at least 24 hours. Discomfort and soreness after surgery are extremely common. Medication can be prescribed to control the pain.

Swelling is another common side effect of surgery, and it can last up to five weeks. Patients may also experience a burning sensation in their nipples and pain, but those problems usually go away two weeks after surgery. Stiches are removed after one week. The patient will also be able to return to work one week after surgery. However, patients will be advised to wait between two and four weeks before they start an exercise program.

If the implants are placed above the muscle, then the final results will be noticed within one month. It can take up to four months for a person to see the results if the implants are placed below the muscle.   Serious complications from breast implants are rare, but they have been reported. Bleeding, scarring, delayed healing, implant rupture and permanent numbness in the breasts are just a few of the many potential complications. There is also the chance that a person could have a life-threatening allergic reaction to the anesthesia.

There are a number of benefits that can be reaped from getting breast implant augmentation by Dr. Shu in Minneapolis. This procedure can help improve a woman’s overall appearance. It can also help her fill out her clothes better. Additionally, breast implants can help increase a woman’s confidence.
