Treat Your Mom Right with a Mommy Makeover
With Mother’s Day right around the corner, you might be wondering what you can get your mom or the mother of your children for this special day. Rather than spending money on flowers and jewelry, consider giving a gift that will bring her confidence and happiness for years to come. With a mommy makeover, the special mother in your life can target the areas of their body that has changed since becoming a mother. Read on to learn more about mommy makeovers.
What is a Mommy Makeover
Being a mother is a joyous event in life that is incomparable to any other experience in life. And although it is something to celebrate, being a mother can also wreak havoc on a woman’s once taut body. From saggy breasts to loose abdominal skin, a woman’s body will never quite look the same after pregnancy.
A mommy makeover, however, can give women back their body and confidence through a combination of a few or all four surgical procedures (listed below).
What does a Mommy Makeover consist of?
The four main components of a mommy makeover procedure include:
-
Breast Augmentation
After breastfeeding, a woman’s breasts can often times look and feel deflated. In order to get the shape and natural breast texture back, many women opt to get breast augmentation surgery. This surgery involves placing a breast implant either under a woman’s existing breast muscle or over it.
-
Tummy Tuck
After all of the stretching that a woman’s stomach endures during 9 months of pregnancy, a tummy tuck procedure is one of the most ideal ways to get a woman’s body back. By removing excess skin, a tummy tuck will tighten the abdominal area and give it a more taut appearance.
-
Liposuction
It’s true, a woman’s body will never be the same again after giving birth to a baby. And areas like the abdomen and upper thighs will likely have seen better days. However, through liposuction, excess fat around the upper thighs and abdomen are scraped away in order to give off a slimmer appearance.
-
Breast Lift
Breast lifts are primarily used for women who have breastfed their infants. Although another wonderful part of motherhood, breastfeeding can deflate your breasts and cause them to appear and feel more sag than ever before. During a breast lift, however, the surgeon will lift the breast muscles and tighten any skin around the breasts in order to give off a more youthful and firmer looking appearance.

Wear Your Mommy Badge Proud with a Mommy Makeover
Yes, it’s true, children are the most amazing gift. However, they can cause havoc on your body. Not only do they cause stretch marks and weight gain, but they can also deflate your once perky breasts. If you are like most women, and want your pre-baby body back, you’re in luck–consider a mommy makeover
What is a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover is a set of treatments designed to give women their confidence and appearance back from before they had children. By either opting to do one treatment or multiple treatments, you can lift and tighten your body. Procedures include tummy tucks, breast implants, breast lifts, and liposuction.
How Do I Know What Treatment is Best for Me?
During the process of deciding what combination of procedures you want to get during your mommy makeover, you won’t be alone. Your doctor will be there to help guide you through every step of the process. Until then, here are some ways to help decide what is right for you.
Tummy Tucks
If you have a lot of excess skin leftover from carrying babies, a tummy tuck is the right thing for you. By tightening the skin around your stomach area, you will have a more slim and natural appearance that will resemble how you looked in your teens and twenties.
Liposuction
Liposuction is the perfect solution if you just can’t get rid of a little bit of fat around your middle, your upper arms, or thighs. Although pregnancy is a wonderful thing, it can cause you to gain weight in unexpected places, and sometimes it’s just impossible to lose the excess weight after the baby comes. However, with liposuction, the doctor can surgical scrape away any excess fat from the desired target area and leave you with a thinner looking appearance.
Breast Lift and Breast Implants
Typically done together, a breast lift and implantation surgery involves lifting the skin and breast tissues that may be drooping due to breast feeding, and implanting a breast implant as well in order to give you fuller and perkier breasts.
From tummy tucks to breast lifts, if you’re considering getting a mommy makeover, there’s an option or combination of procedures for you to choose from.

Are You Ready For A Mommy Makeover?
Bringing Back Your Pre-Pregnancy Body
Mommy Makeovers are becoming one of the more common plastic surgical procedures performed each year. The goal of this new type of procedure is to help women restore their body after having gone through the rigors of pregnancy and child birth.
There is no doubt that becoming a mother, and bearing children, is a highly rewarding experience. While, a woman may love her role as mom, she may not be as content with the new shape of her body. Many moms across the country have found that the Mommy Makeover is the ideal cosmetic surgical procedure for them, as it can give them back the confidence they need to be the best mom possible.
What Are The Mommy Makeover Procedures?
Mommy Makeovers can be customized depending upon a woman’s specific needs, but the most common procedures are breast augmentation (implants), breast lift (mastopexy) and tummy tuck (abdominoplasty).
Breast Augmentation
Breast tissue can change drastically after pregnancy, especially if you choose to breast feed your children. Breasts will grow larger during pregnancy and then reduce in size after giving birth. Breast implants are a great option to restore volume to breasts to pre-baby size and fullness. It is important to note that breast augmentation may alter your ability to breast feed in the future so you should voice your concerns with your surgeon.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
A breast lift is another popular makeover option. Breasts have the tendency to sag after giving birth and nursing. Just like breast augmentation, this procedure should only be performed after milk production has stopped – typically 6 months after cessation of nursing. This will also reduce the chance of infection post surgery. During the breast lift procedure, the surgeon will lift the breast to restore their original appearance. Often, breast lift can be combined with breast augmentation. witch symptoms curse black magic spells.
Tummy Tuck
Sometimes there are problems that diet and exercise just can’t fix, such as that skin bulge over your jeans or the residual “pregnancy bump”. This is when a tummy tuck may be a viable option. This procedure is designed to eliminate excess skin and tighten the muscles in the abdominal region. It is important that a woman has achieved and maintained a stable/healthy weight for at least 6 to 8 months prior to having a tummy tuck.
A Mommy Makeover should be done after a woman has decided that she is done having children. Recovery time depends on the type of surgeries performed, and all Mommy Makeover patients should abstain from physical activity for at least 6 weeks post surgery.

Get Your Pre-Baby Body Back with a Mommy Makeover
The term “mommy makeover” was coined in 2005 and has increased in popularity ever since. To restore your body to pre-pregnancy condition, a mommy makeover conveniently combines two or more plastic surgery procedures into one which lowers the cost and recovery time.
Pregnancy is beautiful but it does take a toll on your body. Many effects of pregnancy don’t go away with time including:
- Loose or separated abdominal muscles
- Loose skin, stretch marks and spider veins
- Weight gain due to hormones, lifestyle or unbalanced diet
- Loss of volume in breasts
Is a Mommy Makeover Right For You?
A mommy makeover may be right for you if you are 100% sure you are finished growing your family. You also should be fully recovered from pregnancy and have 2 weeks time available off from work.
It is recommended that you wait 3 to 6 months after you’re done breastfeeding before you undergo a mommy makeover.
Benefits of Choosing a Mommy Makeover Versus Several Separate Procedures
Depending on the procedures you select, combining surgeries can reduce cost by several thousand dollars. When two surgeries are combined in a mommy makeover, you are only charged one operating room fee and anesthesia fee instead of two.
The most common mommy makeover combines a breast augmentation and/or lift with a tummy tuck. When you have these two surgeries performed at one time, your recovery time can be reduced by as much as six weeks.
If cost and time savings is not enough, you should know that 68% of female body contouring patients noticed an improvement in their sex life after the procedure.
We provide mommy makeovers to women living in Long Island, Nassau County and Suffolk County areas as well as out of town and out of state.
