We speak to women from Beverly Hills, Bel Air, and other L.A. towns who are ready to improve themselves while slaying it at motherhood.
The hormonal rollercoaster of pregnancy and birth left some baggage they don’t want to carry with them. That can include sagging breasts, stretch marks, and a new belly apron. That’s a lot of weight to add to the extra duties of managing babies and toddlers. It’s also why our mommy makeovers are such a popular surgical option! Our clinic offers an à la carte style menu designed to create an individual cosmetic surgery plan. During an initial consultation, Dr. Arial Ourian discusses the possibilities with his patients in a private and respectful environment. He listens to their expectations and examines the areas of concern. Then he shares his ideas for the best possible options, keeping his patient’s expectations in mind.
It’s common knowledge that cosmetic surgery isn’t covered by insurance, and a woman might be willing to arrange a payment plan to cover the costs. What they may not realize is that some breast reduction surgery can be diagnosed as ‘medically necessary.’ And if Dr. Ourian notices that this could apply to a patient, he will explain the next steps. His staff will assist by reviewing the patient’s insurance plan to determine what is covered. This is very helpful for when moms review the financial responsibility of surgeon fees and overall surgery costs.
Moms understand that nature has its own timetable.
One lesson motherhood teaches women is patience. From the first moment she noticed the ‘positive’ on the pregnancy test, she had to prepare for a new baby. It took nine months to create a beautiful life. And in those nine months, her body was put through serious changes, where it needed to recover, too. It’s going to happen again with a mommy makeover. That is why preparedness and patience are the best approaches to a satisfying conclusion. Our team is also here to prepare Mom for her mommy makeover journey. Patients are briefed on the pre-op and post-op process. Staff reviews the final financial plan and lets the mom know they will be on hand to answer any questions throughout the process.
We go over how to get ready for surgery, anesthesia options, and how long the recovery may last before she can pick up a baby again. We also encourage her to review the cost of childcare, housekeeping, hospital stay, and medication while she is resting.
For some, recovery could last a bit shorter, for others a bit longer. Although mom may feel the urge to help out, recovery deserves the time it requires. Getting up too early and trying to run around can cause serious problems for sutures and the healing process. A mother needs to let others help and watch her kiddos so she has enough time to recover. And then after her body is ready to move again, she can join the other Bel Air mothers for a baby stroller date around the park in her new, lighter figure .
