NOT YOUR BASIC HOUSEWIFE ANYMORE Marina Plastic Surgery

“I’m just your basic Midwestern housewife,” Andrea says. Then she pauses. “Well, maybe not so basic anymore.” You can say that again. After mommy makeover plastic surgery – breast augmentation, liposculpture and a tummy tuck in Los Angeles – people Andrea barely knows stop her and say, “Oh my gosh, you look great! What did you do?”

ANDREA’S MAKEOVER

Andrea threw herself into her makeover. She hired a personal trainer for two months and focused on fitness, with the result that she lost more than 20 pounds.

Before

After

Andrea talked with one of our Los Angeles plastic surgeons about the loose skin on her abdomen, her “saggy size B breasts,” and the pockets of fat that appear with pregnancy and just never leave. The mommy makeover they ultimately planned included a full tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, breast augmentation with gummy bear breast implants, and liposculpture, a refined power-assisted liposuction (PAL) technique that would allow precision sculpting of Andrea’s waist, hips, thighs and knees. Andrea remembers that the surgeon said, “Here’s what I can do for you.” He then described a figure that would be even better than the one she had before her sons were born. After she and her mom looked through more photos, Andrea felt increasing excitement. Her mom felt the same way, telling Andrea, “You’re right. These results are so significant.” In the end, Andrea didn’t even consult any other doctors. After getting the thumbs up from her mom and the full support of her husband, Andrea was ready.

SIX MONTHS LATER

As spring arrived in Ohio, Andrea planned another trip to Southern California. At the top of the agenda this time was a shopping spree with her mom. In fact, she admits that she does have one post-surgical problem: “learning how to shop all over again.” The procedure’s benefits for her body was such that she needed a new wardrobe, and the surgeon “gave me awesome curves,” Andrea says, explaining she now has natural looking, small size D breasts, exactly the size she wanted, and “an hourglass figure.” And with the fat pockets gone and a flat tummy, she now wears size two pants.

Andrea was pleased to have the opportunity for a follow up visit to the Marina Plastic Surgery practice and happy to show off her mommy makeover results. “I do look better than before I had the kids,” she says. Describing the surgeon who performed her procedure as “a genius,” Andrea added, “I would recommend him to anyone. And his whole staff is wonderful too.” Looking back, Andrea knows she made the right decision to have breast augmentation, liposculpture and a tummy tuck in Los Angeles with the team at Marina Plastic Surgery. “Doing something like this is life-altering. You need to seek out the best.” She realizes she probably could have saved some money by having surgery closer to home but feels that if you’re only willing to pay half the cost, you’ll get, as she puts it, “half the result.”

She explains, “We’re not wealthy; we’re a middle income family. Still, I knew I would live with the results forever. It was worth it to me to work with someone who’s tops in their field.” Interested in learning more about plastic surgery? Come in and talk with our doctors in person.
