Perfectly Imperfect - A Female Plastic Surgeon's Perspective The Axis

Despite what TikTok says, getting your old body back after having a baby is not a thing. It’s a miracle that your body grew a child, and there’s nothing wrong with the “mommy bod.” But there’s also nothing wrong with doing something for yourself after all that.

In part one of two episodes covering the aesthetic procedures unique to the aftereffects of having a baby (commonly known as the “mommy makeover”), Dr. Houssock and Val take us through the changes to expect and what can be done to help. 

In part 2, we’ll explain diastasis recti and go into detail on the top procedures for those stretched muscles, excess skin, and scars.

Hosted by Baltimore plastic surgeon Carrie A. Houssock, MD and her all-female team, Perfectly Imperfect is the authentically human podcast navigating the realities of aesthetic medicine for people who live and work in the DMV.

The beauty of fillers is the wide range we have to choose for every face and concern, from restoring volume to reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
