A mommy makeover refers to a series of cosmetic treatments that address the effects of pregnancy, childbirth, and aging on your body and appearance.
The physical changes that occur during your pregnancy may have long-lasting effects, causing excess skin around your abdomen and saggy breasts. Diet and exercise can’t fix these changes, but a mommy makeover at Plastic Surgery Associates of Long Island can.
Abdominal etching is an advanced liposuction technique that enhances natural muscle definition in the abdomen. By selectively removing excess fat around the abdominal muscles, this procedure creates a more sculpted, athletic look and is often paired with a tummy tuck to improve contour.
An arm lift removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms that can develop after pregnancy or weight changes. This procedure improves arm shape and firmness, helping to create smoother, more proportional upper-body contours.
The rapid changes in your breast size during pregnancy may change the shape of your breasts. During breast augmentation, your plastic surgeon uses breast implants or fat grafting to improve the shape and size of your breasts.
For saggy breasts, the team recommends a breast lift. During this procedure, they remove the excess skin and tighten the supportive breast tissue, lifting your breasts and enhancing your appearance.
Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create a smaller, more balanced breast size. This procedure can improve comfort, reduce physical strain, and restore a lifted, youthful breast shape.
Childbirth may stretch the labia, which are the external vaginal lips that surround the opening of your vagina. A labiaplasty removes this excess tissue, improving size, shape, and comfort.
Pregnancy and childbirth may also overstretch the tissue in the vagina, causing vaginal laxity. Plastic Surgery Associates of Long Island offers in-office vaginoplasty to tighten the tissue.
Removes stubborn fat beneath your skin, improving contours and proportions. The team may perform liposuction on any part of your body, including your thighs, buttocks, or abdomen.
A mons lift tightens and elevates the mons pubis area by removing excess skin and tissue. This procedure improves the lower abdominal contour and is often performed alongside a tummy tuck to achieve more balanced results.
A thigh lift addresses loose skin and excess fat in the thighs caused by pregnancy or weight changes. The procedure creates smoother, firmer thigh contours and improves the overall proportion of the lower body.
Buttock augmentation enlarges or reshapes the buttocks, improving contours.
Pregnancy stretches the abdominal muscles and skin, making it impossible to restore your flat, firm tummy. A tummy tuck removes the excess skin and tightens the abdominal muscles, improving the look and shape of your midsection.
Ideal candidates for a mommy makeover are women in good overall health, close to their ideal weight, and who have completed childbearing. Candidates should also be non-smokers or willing to stop smoking before surgery to support healing.
During a consultation, Dr. P or Dr. Rhee will evaluate medical history, anatomy, and aesthetic goals to ensure that a mommy makeover is safe and appropriate.
A mommy makeover offers a wide range of physical and emotional benefits for women seeking to restore their pre-pregnancy bodies or address changes from aging, weight fluctuations, or childbirth.
The first step toward a mommy makeover is scheduling a consultation at Plastic Surgery Associates of Long Island. During this visit, your personal plastic surgeon listens to your concerns, evaluates your body, and discusses potential procedures.
You’ll receive a personalized treatment plan, review recovery expectations, and have the chance to ask questions.
You will be taken to the preoperative area, where you’ll meet with the anesthesiologist to discuss anesthesia options and monitoring during surgery. General anesthesia is typically used so you remain fully asleep and comfortable throughout the procedure.
Once anesthesia is administered, Dr. P or Dr. Rhee will begin your customized surgical plan. This may include a combination of procedures such as a tummy tuck, breast lift, breast augmentation, or liposuction.
After the surgery is complete, the team will close incisions with absorbable sutures and, if necessary, place drains to prevent fluid accumulation. Your body will then be dressed, and supportive compression garments will be applied to assist in healing and reduce swelling.
Your Guide to Post-Mommy Makeover Care
Recovery from a mommy makeover varies depending on the procedures you have had. Full recovery can take weeks or months.
You can expect swelling, bruising, and pain, and should plan for downtime. The surgeons may recommend you avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for several weeks, but most patients return to their usual light activities within a couple of weeks.
The cost of a mommy makeover in Long Island depends on the number and type of procedures performed, surgical complexity, anesthesia fees, and facility costs.
