Mommy Makeovers Popular Among Younger Women

Did you know Mommy Makeovers were on the rise? Here are the statistics: women had nearly 112,000 tummy tucks in 2010, up 85% since 2000; 90,000 breast lifts, up 70% since 2000; and 296,000 breast augmentations, up 39% since 2000. What does this mean?

This varies regionally too it seems. 34% of women in the South Central part of the United States, our area right here around Arkansas, say they would undergo a Mommy Makeover. Women in the North East, however are not so hot on the idea. And younger women are more prone to elect Mommy Makeovers it turns out. Mommy Makeovers are popular with these younger women as ideas about aging change. It used to be you were expected to grow old gracefully, and a while back that meant to accept the ravages of age as inevitable. Well of course! First of all, cosmetic surgery was not as advanced. Secondly, now-a-days many younger moms are working moms, and they want to look good and compete in the job market. Not only that, but they have more income to do so.

Mommy Makeovers, you may recall, are a combination of procedures that might include a Tummy Tuck, Breast Augmentation or a Breast Lift, or both, and maybe liposuction in order to restore your pre-pregnancy body. The reason for doing the procedures at one time is that this saves on recovery time in the long run, and you do not have to risk undergoing anesthesia more than once. It is important to limit the time on the table, however. At Little Rock Cosmetic Surgery Center, Mommy Makeover procedures are kept under 5 – 6 hours. Younger women are changing the meaning of having it all, despite the so called “Mommy Wars” between stay at home moms and working moms. Desiring Mommy Makeovers may just be a factor all these women have in common! If you are interested in a Mommy Makeover at Little Rock Cosmetic Surgery Center, come in for your consultation!
