Huntington Station, NY ( prsafe ) August 9, 2012 - Prominent Long Island plastic surgeon, Dr. Charlotte Rhee, is seeing a significant new trend at her Huntington Station plastic surgery practice: Mommy Makeover procedures are yielding a remarkably high degree of patient satisfaction. The go-to course of treatment to restore a woman's "pre-baby body," Mommy Makeovers also continue to grow in popularity.

"Having a child can be one of the most rewarding times in a woman's life," explains Dr. Rhee, "but it can also take a huge toll on a woman's body." Pregnancy and subsequent breastfeeding has been shown to affect a woman's body in several adverse ways. Typical changes include breasts that appear deflated, breasts that appear too large, flabbiness in the midsection and areas of stubborn, exercise-resistant fat.

"It's important to understand that a Mommy Makeover is not 'one size fits all,'" explains Dr. Rhee. "Rather, it's a custom-tailored treatment plan that helps bring women close to the body they had before starting a family." According to Dr. Rhee, popular Mommy Makeover procedures include a breast lift, breast reduction, tummy tuck, and/or liposuction.

"And, what's even more exciting is the degree of patient satisfaction we're seeing following the procedure," reports Dr. Rhee. "An overwhelming majority of patients are walking away happy, looking great and feeling better." Dr. Rhee's assertion confirms recent data found on the plastic surgery community site, RealSelf®. The site measures patient satisfaction by encouraging users to rate a procedure as "Worth It" or not. And, according to the latest RealSelf figures, Mommy Makeover procedures yielded a remarkable 99% "Worth It" rating.

Asked to speculate on the future of the Mommy Makeover, Dr Rhee shared her thoughts: "Mothers today understand that they don't have to settle for the bothersome effects of pregnancy. This procedure allows them to take control, look better and most importantly, feel better about themselves."
