Out with the old, in with the new

Do you wish you looked better in a bathing suit? Would you like to get rid of sagging skin and excess fat and look trimmer and firmer? Have you always wanted a fuller, rounder butt and higher, plumper breasts? If so, this new year of possibilities might be the perfect time to finally do something for yourself after doing so much for everybody else! It’s true: all the changes to your body brought on by pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding can now be beautifully improved with a Mommy Makeover! 

What is a Mommy Makeover and what will it do?

For many women, having children is among the greatest joys of their lives, but their bodies often pay the price, in drooping and smaller-than-before breasts, sagging buttocks, a flabby and protruding stomach, and unwanted thigh saddlebags.

A Mommy Makeover can help correct these problems with a customized combination of cosmetic surgical procedures including: breast lift, breast augmentation/implants, body sculpting, liposuction, butt augmentation, Brazilian butt lift, tummy tuck or lower body lift. Combining these surgeries limits your total recovery “downtime” so that women are inconvenienced as little as possible.

Whether performed under local, “twilight” or general anesthesia, a Mommy Makeover can help moms of all ages regain the great-looking body they had before pregnancy, or in many cases, help make them look even better than they ever have.

All procedures performed at Westchester’s state-of-the-art surgical facility

For almost every plastic surgery procedure I perform, including Mommy Makeovers, I use the Surgical Specialty Center of Westchester. Located in Harrison, NY, the Surgical Specialty Center has four operating rooms and an 11-bed recovery room. Each operating room is fully equipped with state-of-the-art anesthesia (provided by a board-certified anesthesiologist), emergency equipment and everything else I and my surgical team need to provide the highest standard of care to each one of our patients.

With a Mommy Makeover, you choose which combination of procedures you want for the results you’d like to achieve

A Mommy Makeover consists of a customized combination of body sculpting plastic surgery procedures. Choosing to have several procedures at the same time is actually highly beneficial because it limits your total recovery downtime so you are inconvenienced as little as possible. Here are the 7 procedures that can be included in a Mommy Makeover:

• Breast augmentation/implants

Breast augmentation surgery is performed to enlarge small breasts, underdeveloped breasts or breasts that have decreased in size after a woman has had children. It can also make breasts more symmetrical if one is significantly larger or smaller than the other. There are three types of breast implants available in the U.S.: saline (sterile saltwater), silicone gel, the Ideal Implant (a structured, saline-filled implant) and the Natrelle® Gummy Breast Implant.

• Breast lift

Breast lift surgery restores the shape and contour of breasts that have sagged as a result of pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, age, gravity, heredity and other factors. This procedure re-positions the nipple and areola (the pink skin surrounding the nipple) to a higher position, moves the breast tissue to a higher level, removes excess skin from the lower portion of the breast, and reshapes the remaining breast skin. 

• Liposuction 

• Brazilian butt lift

A Brazilian butt lift uses liposuction to take pockets of excess fat from unwanted areas such as your belly, waist or thighs and transfer it to the buttocks area, increasing the size, shape, position and fullness of your butt. The benefits of a Brazilian butt lift are two-fold: it slims and trims those areas where you have too much fat, while giving you a higher, fuller, firmer butt. Plus, since a Brazilian Butt Lift uses your own fat, there is very little risk of rejection.

• Tummy tuck

Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, is a highly effective way to reduce excess fat and skin and tighten abdominal muscles. A tummy tuck removes loose, flabby skin that has lost its shape and elasticity, strengthens weakened stomach muscles, improves the look and shape of the belly button, defines the waist, removes stretch marks, and creates a smoother, tighter midsection.

• Lower body lift

Lower body lift surgery, often done in conjunction with liposuction, reduces excess fat and loose, hanging skin. It is also very effective at tightening and sculpting the buttocks, back of the thighs, outer thighs, inner thighs, hips and abdomen. This surgery may also help minimize the appearance of cellulite.

Are you a good candidate for a Mommy Makeover? You need to:

• be in good medical health
• be at or near their ideal body weight
• have a positive outlook and realistic expectations
• be finished with childbearing
• not smoke or drink excessively

How much does a Mommy Makeover cost?

One of the first questions my patients usually ask me when they’re considering having a Mommy Makeover is how much it will cost. My answer is that there is no one standard price. Recognizing that every woman’s body and desired results are unique to her, I determine the exact cost of a Mommy Makeover after I have met with the patient, evaluated her body type, amount of fat stores, overall physical condition and her personal goals and expectations. Then together, we will decide which plastic surgery procedures will achieve the best possible results. For further pricing details, please contact me.

Considering a Mommy Makeover?

I understand that choosing any of the Mommy Makeover procedures is an important decision for a woman. I also know how much it means to each and every one of my patients to achieve the results she wants. If you are thinking about getting a Mommy Makeover and would like to schedule a free consultation to talk about it, please contact me and I will send you additional information prior to your appointment. To make sure you are fully informed about your surgery options and understand exactly what results to expect, I will take all the time you need to make sure all your questions are answered.
