Pregnancy and childbirth, while undeniably beautiful and fulfilling, are also two of the most traumatic processes a woman’s body can undergo. The woman’s entire physique is altered and continues to change for months after childbirth and throughout breastfeeding.
A woman’s body can take months or years to recover and, in many cases, may never be able to revert to its pre-pregnancy state fully. Our mommy makeover in Long Island can help address this.
Rather than referring specifically to any single procedure, the term “mommy makeover” is used in reference to any combination of different procedures to help restore pre-pregnancy shape and definition to multiple areas of a woman’s physique. While the specifics vary, our typical Long Island mommy makeover includes some sort of:
During pregnancy, breasts swell to much greater than their normal size, and their size and shape can continue to fluctuate significantly after birth and throughout breastfeeding. Breasts may continue to sag as a result of lost volume, or may remain uncomfortably large. A breast augmentation, with or without implants, beast reduction, or lift can help.
During pregnancy, the abdomen must stretch and protrude significantly to accommodate the growing baby. As a result, the muscles and connective tissues that hold internal organs in place are stretched so far that they often remain slack after birth and are unable to return to their original dimensions. An abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, can help by removing excess skin and fat, and tightening loose fascia.
During pregnancy, you’re eating for two, and your body is holding on to every bit of nutrition it can. However, many women have trouble losing this baby weight even months after giving birth. Liposuction can remove excess fat from the arms, leg, torso, and other body areas to restore the body’s pre-pregnancy shape and definition.
A customized combination of these procedures can help restore your confidence as you get back the body you had before kids with your mommy makeover in Long Island. However, your body needs time after childbirth to recover, and so we recommend waiting a year after giving birth to undergo cosmetic surgery. This time allows the uterus to shrink back to its normal size and the rest of the body to fully recover. Many women are surprised to see how significantly their bodies can bounce back on their own during this waiting period, and surgery should only be considered when the body will not return to its original shape on its own.

A Mommy Makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures that address areas of the body that have changed during and after pregnancy and helps to recover a person’s pre-pregnancy or more youthful figure.
If you are in good health and at a stable weight after having children and you would like to rejuvenate your figure, then a mommy makeover might be right for you!
Once you feel that you are finished having children and at least 6 months after you have concluded breastfeeding then a makeover can be considered. Pregnancy after a makeover will alter and reduce the results of work done.
The main areas that can be addressed are the abdomen, which can be tightened, and the breasts, which can be lifted, reduced, or augmented. Other areas include the thighs, arms, and face.
A tummy tuck to correct stretched muscles, skin, and tissue. Breast lift, reduction, or augmentation to enhance breasts after the conclusion of breastfeeding. Liposuction to remove residual fatty deposits.
Depending on the degree of damage to your breasts, you may want a simple breast lift if they sagged after breastfeeding, or a reduction if they have become too large. Augmentation is also an option to increase volume in sagging or flattened breasts.
Breast surgery may lead to prolonged numbness or reduced sensation in the affected area. Sensation may recover over time but your surgeon will best inform you on what to expect.
This depends on the combination of procedures that you would like to have done and the extent of the work that is required. Your surgeon will suggest the best combination of procedures to be done, whether together or separately.
Post-surgery swelling and bruising typically takes 3-4 weeks to subside, and a couple of months before your body feels fully recovered. If multiple surgeries are necessary, it is possible they may be scheduled months apart, or all performed in one surgery. Every Mommy Makeover is customized to match the needs of the patient.
Assistance during recovery is vital. Planning on having proper care during your recovery will allow healing to occur properly and reduce the risk of complications. Planning for childcare and help with other necessary tasks before surgery is encouraged.
Expect to have a reduced activity level and restricted use of your arms and torso. Heavy lifting will not be an option until healing has been completed. This avoids the risk of compromising incision or surgical sites.
