Southern California’s glittering golden beaches and sparkling waves are world-renowned. There are over 129 million visitors to our SoCal beaches every year. It is part of our community and LA culture for those lucky enough to live close by. Locals of all ages enjoy soaking up the sun with their family and friends on the local shores of Santa Monica or Manhattan Beach. Onlookers can watch surfers ride the waves at Zuma Beach. And many locals enjoy wandering the surfside shops at the Venice Beach Boardwalk.
Unfortunately, sometimes women feel embarrassed to bare their skin at the beachside. Maybe they don’t think they have the fit, tan physique like before motherhood. They might take their kids but stick by the umbrella under layers of linen to hide stretch marks or a post-pregnancy stomach.
It’s a shame to avoid one of California’s most unique and pleasurable amenities. Laying out in the sunshine and running along the shore in a bathing suit should feel freeing, not frightening. West Los Angeles women might find our clinic’s Mommy Makeover the correct answer!
Women Should Wear the Bathing Suit They Want
Bathing suit fashion has changed over the years. A history of women’s swimwear is nicely done on this link from UNY’s Fashion Institute of Technology. It begins with the modesty of the 1800s and moves to the new form-fitting one-pieces, beginning with Jantzen in the 1910s. Although many Americans believe the bikini craze happened in the 1960s, European women began wearing bikinis around the 1940s! Yet the one-piece bathing suit continued to evolve into something just as sexy. Who can forget Pamela Anderson in a cherry-red Baywatch on-piece?
Today, women don’t have to wear only one type of bathing suit. Shops offer options from tropical-inspired one-pieces to sassy little two-pieces. Many either expose much skin or cling tightly to reveal the shape underneath. And various styles are all in fashion today! No matter what the fashion is, every woman should wear what she feels best. If a woman is apprehensive about her body and fearful of wearing what she wants, this is a problem. West Los Angeles residents might find a mommy makeover could be the change needed to give them confidence at the beach.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause changes in a woman’s body. Pockets of fat on the legs and torso may refuse to disappear regardless of exercise and diet. Breastfeeding can change the firmness of a woman’s breasts. Cosmetic surgery treatments can make a difference. A mommy makeover doesn’t target a specific set of areas for every woman. Dr. Ourian meets with every individual to listen to their unique issues. Sometimes, a mother is okay with a tiny “mommy tummy” but is interested in a breast lift. Regular workouts have kept her toned and smooth yet stretch marks and varicose veins keep her in full-coverage clothing. Dr. Ourian can help review individual situations and determine the best plastic surgery procedures to help balance and tone the body.
West Los Angeles Women considering mommy makeovers to look “beach ready” can contact Dr. Ourian and his staff to discuss their needs.
