Body contouring procedures are very popular among women after pregnancy. Los Angeles mothers are often frustrated with stubborn fat areas of the tummy, thighs, hips, and arms which are resistant to exercise and dieting. During their cosmetic surgery consultation new mothers often share their frustrations of not being able to fit into their pre-pregnancy clothes. Liposuction of the arms, thighs, hips, and abdomen is performed with a variety of techniques throughout Southern California. Tummy tuck procedures of the abdomen are among the most popular techniques used in Los Angeles. For patients who need an intensive tummy tuck Los Angeles specialists in some cases recommend liposuction by ultrasound, laser, chemical injections, and vibration techniques. The efficacy of Ultrasonic Liposuction and these other techniques is widely debated and is associated with higher complication rates.



Pregnancy changes a woman's body in many ways. There is redistribution of the body fat as a result of change in the levels of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, as well as thyroid and gonadal hormones. These hormonal and metabolic changes make it very hard to lose excess body fat which is stored in the deep fat pockets. Therefore, at this time the only solution for restoring one's younger size and shape is to have a tummy tuck or liposuction of abdomen, flanks, thighs, or hips.

Losing weight after pregnancy can sometimes have unpredictable results, such as losing breast volume and facial fullness which makes women look older. Beverly Hills tummy tuck plastic surgeons observe that this highly effective procedure can give a woman a balanced figure and youthful appearance while preserving fat in other areas. In fact, after pregnancy tummy tucks and liposuction of the abdomen, hips, and thighs can also be combined with fat grafting of other areas which are deficient in fullness and volume, such as the buttocks and the face. Fat injection of the face after pregnancy fills the deep naso-labial folds, lower eyelid hollows, forehead wrinkles and frowns. Fat grafting of the buttocks, or Brazilian Buttock Augmentation, is combined with liposculpture of the flanks and hips in order to give a women an hourglass figure, as well as a ?perky butt?.

While many women who have unwanted fat after pregnancy can benefit from liposuction in Beverly Hills, there are others who are not a candidate for liposuction. These are mothers who rather need a tummy tuck after pregnancy. A Los Angeles Tummy Tuck/High Tension Abdominoplasty combines tummy tuck with liposuction of the flanks in order to remove loose hanging lower belly skin folds and stretch marks, as well as contouring the waist, and lifting the thighs and buttocks.
