Summer Months are When You Really Enjoy your Mommy Makeover in North Carolina*

North Carolina has been in the top 5 of the states showing population growth in the last few years. People are drawn to its warm climate and its many wonderful opportunities for outdoor activities. Blessed with a beautiful long coastline as well as numerous large lakes and mountains, it is a popular vacation destination as well as a state where many citizens own second homes at the beach or the lake. One of the most common concerns women seeking a mommy makeover have, is their appearance in bathing suits as so many patients have summer beach or lake homes or have a pool at home and are very self-conscious of the appearance of their breasts and abdomen. Women having previous C-sections frequently have a shelf like protrusion in their lower abdomen and have to hide it with one piece bathing suits. In many cases, a mommy makeover can allow patient to consider wearing a 2-piece bathing suit. Generally, it takes about 3 months before patients feel comfortable wearing bathing suits after this procedure. The umbilicus usually takes the longest to look natural. This 55-year-old woman spent a lot of time at the beach during the summer and fall and never wore a two-piece bathing suit until she had a mommy makeover by Dr. Lyle. Within 3 months she was wearing a two-piece and was enjoying the summer months. The incisions from the tummy tuck may be visible in very slinky bathing suit bottoms but most properly placed incisions are not visible in somewhat wider suits.
