A variety of procedures make up a Mommy Makeover, which is designed to help women regain their pre-pregnancy body. Two common procedures include a tummy tuck and breast enhancement. However, women are not limited to these choices. Some women find that they can benefit from other procedures such as:
Liposuction
Known by physicians as lipoplasty and “lipo” by patients, this procedure removes excess fat deposits by inserting a tube into a small incision and sucking out fat deposits. The procedure is designed to improve the body’s contour and proportion. Areas commonly affected by pregnancy where liposuction may be performed include the […]
After pregnancy, women notice changes to their bodies, especially in the abdomen and breast areas. Two common procedures that women pursue when having a Mommy Makeover- a series of procedures that addresses unwanted physical changes resulting from pregnancy- are tummy tucks and breast enhancement (lifts, reduction and augmentation). Read the information presented here to help decide if either or both procedures might be right for you.
Tummy Tuck
Even after losing weight post-pregnancy, excess skin can remain in the abdomen area. A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a procedure that removes this loose skin and fat from the abdominal area. In […]
For many women, giving birth is one of the most empowering experiences of their lives. Welcoming a new baby (or more!) is a life-changing event.
Some women, however, may feel uncomfortable about how pregnancy affects their bodies. Skin stretches in many areas (abdomen, breasts, thighs for example) leading to stretch marks, sagging and fat deposits. These physical changes are completely normal, as are the negative feelings that may come with them.
To tackle the physical changes and self-consciousness, more and more women are choosing to have a “Mommy Makeover,” a combination of procedures designed to address unwanted physical effects of pregnancy. Example […]

COSMOpen is a non-invasive way to help treat uneven pigmentation, scarring, wrinkles, stretch marks, large pores and signs of aging. It’s a state-of-the-art medical grade high-speed micro-needling system that can be used to treat acne and surgical scars—as well as wrinkles, stretch marks, pore size, and signs of aging. By vertically piercing the skin, COSMOPen helps naturally induce collagen production and treat pigmentation.
Micro-Needling, also called “Skin Needling” or “Collagen Induction Therapy” (CIT) is a medical aesthetic procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles (micro-needling the skin) to induce endogenous production of cutaneous collagen. Queen City Plastic […]
COSMOPen microneedling is a form of Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT). The idea behind CIT is similar to that of many other non-surgical skin-tightening procedures in that it aims to create a controlled Non-Thermal injury underneath the skin’s surface, thereby inducing the body to respond through the formation of new tissue layers of elastin- and collagen fibers (neo-collagenesis) as well as new capillaries for an improved blood supply (neo-angiogenesis) in the treated area. The skin plumps and thickens in response to this stimulus, ultimately reducing the appearance of scars, and fine lines and other skin texture changes. It can be used […]
What is Microneedling and how does it work?
MicroNeedling, also called Skin Needling or Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) is an aesthetic medical procedure that involves puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles (microneedling the skin) to induce endogenous production of cutaneous collagen.
Percutaneous collagen induction (PCI) therapy or medical microneedling is a technique where a fractional microneedling device with fine microneedles has been shown to increase the remolding of the skin by creating thousands of microscopic channels through the skin. It helps increase the formation of new tissue by activating the body’s wound healing cascade (hemostasis-inflammation-proliferation-tissue remodeling). It is also considered a non-ablative skin […]

Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome usually start gradually, with frequent burning, tingling, or itching numbness in the palm of the hand and the fingers, especially the thumb and the index and middle fingers. Some carpal tunnel sufferers say their fingers feel useless and swollen, even though little or no swelling is apparent. The symptoms often first appear in one or both hands during the night, since many people sleep with flexed wrists. A person with carpal tunnel syndrome may wake up feeling the need to “shake out” the hand or wrist. As symptoms worsen, people might feel tingling during the […]
