When To Get a Tummy Tuck After Baby

Every mom knows that having a baby can come with some not-so-pleasant body changes. Stretch marks, extra flab, and joint problems are all body issues that most new moms often have to face. While a mother knows that their baby is worth every bit of discomfort they might be feeling, these unwanted body changes can lead to poor body image. Because of this, moms might look for a quick fix that will get their bodies into shape instead of looking for something that will offer long-term results. One of the more controversial post-pregnancy procedures that you might have heard of is called a c-tuck.

With a c-tuck, a surgeon performs a tummy tuck after a mother delivers her baby by c-section. While combining a scheduled C-section with a tummy tuck might sound like a great way to get a flat stomach after the birth of a baby, many surgeons suggest waiting until their bodies recover from pregnancy before having a tummy tuck done. Waiting will ensure that the abdominal muscles have time to heal and this also lowers the mom’s health risks.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

What would you say if we promised that you could throw away those expensive, pesky razor blades once and for all–and never have to worry about shaving again? With the dog days of summer upon us, we’d say that sounds pretty nice! Whether it’s your underarms, legs or bikini line, our Alexandrite Laser Hair Reduction is a laser hair removal system designed to eliminate shaving or waxing–for good!

Yes, we know you have questions, so here it goes:

How does it work?
The pigment in the hair shaft absorbs a burst of laser light, which creates excessive heat disabling the hair follicle.

Is it painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort and describe the feeling as a slight tingling sensation.

Is it safe?
Lasers have been designed and in use for over 35 years and our lasers have been FDA approved for safety.

Are there any side effects?
A few patients react with mild redness, swelling, and/or heat sensation similar to that of sunburn. This is quite temporary lasting no longer than a few hours.

Is it permanent?
The use of a laser for removing unwanted hair has been clinically proven permanent.

Demand for Cosmetic Surgery High Among Men

In 2009 alone, male patients were responsible for more than 900,000 cosmetic procedures. That’s an increase of nearly 10 percent from 2008 figures. And what are the most popular procedures? Laser liposuction on areas like the neck to eliminate the “turkey gobble”, eyelid surgeries and facelifts, according to an article in the Vancouver Sun.

From sculpting small pockets of fat to trimming down larger areas, Midwest Medical has the tools and the skill to transform you. Many of our laser procedures have virtually no down time associated with them (actually just the day of the procedure) vs. regular liposuction. Minimal, if any, bruising occurs. Pain, if any, may require a Tylenol! No general anesthesia is used….only local anesthesia so you are awake during the entire procedure yet don’t feel any discomfort. Fat that is taken out can also be reinjected into facial areas to volumize the face, fill in wrinkles and folds and create a more youthful look!

Let us know how we can help you or the men in your life achieve a healthier look today.
