The physical changes that come with pregnancy and childbirth can take a toll on your body, and you may feel like you’ve lost a bit of your identity. Our mommy makeover surgery in NYC combines plastic surgery procedures designed to help mothers reverse the ravages of childbirth and breastfeeding on their bodies.
Recover Your Pre-Pregnancy Body
A mommy makeover is a collection of procedures to help you reclaim your pre-pregnancy body. Instead of undergoing several procedures separately, you undergo one supercharged procedure to reverse the effects of childbirth on your breasts, abdomen, and lower body. The specific procedures included in your mommy makeover depend on your goals, but some of the most common mommy makeover techniques include liposuction, breast augmentation and/or lift, abdominoplasty, and Brazilian butt lift.
The Goals of Mommy Makeover:
- Helping you regain your pre-pregnancy body
- Restoring the breasts to their pre-pregnancy size and shape
- Tightening and toning the abdominal muscles
- Reducing excess skin and fat on the stomach, thighs, and other areas
- Improving the appearance of the genital area
- Boosting your self-confidence and self-esteem
- Helping you feel more comfortable and confident in your skin
Are You Done Having Children?
If you plan on having more children, please wait until you are done before undergoing a mommy makeover. Pregnancy and childbirth can cause the body to change again. Your skin will stretch, you’ll develop excess fat deposits, and your abdominal muscles will weaken, thus wiping away the results of your procedure. Dr. Lalezar recommends postponing your mommy makeover surgery in NYC until you’re confident you won’t have any more children, ensuring long-lasting results.
Dr. Lalezar’s Surgical Technique
As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Lalezar is highly skilled in performing mommy makeovers. He takes a personalized approach to mommy makeovers, carefully evaluating your individual goals and concerns to create a treatment plan that meets your needs. The specific details of your procedure depend on your surgical plan. However, Dr. Lalezar always makes incisions along the natural creases of your skin to minimize visible scarring. The procedure usually takes 3 to 5 hours.
Your Recovery Journey
After your mommy makeover, you must take the time to rest and recover. Dr. Lalezar will provide detailed instructions on how to care for yourself during recovery. It’s normal to experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort after surgery. Dr. Lalezar will prescribe pain medication to manage any discomfort you may experience. Most patients can return to work and normal daily activities within a few weeks, but strenuous workouts should be avoided for at least 6 to 8 weeks. For any questions about the recovery process for mommy makeover surgery in NYC, don’t hesitate to call for a consultation.
Common Mommy Makeover Procedures:
Liposuction
Liposuction targets stubborn pockets of fat resistant to diet and exercise. This procedure involves using a small, thin tube called a cannula to suction out excess fat cells from the targeted area, resulting in a slimmer and more contoured appearance. Liposuction can be used on various areas of the body, including the thighs, buttocks, arms, and stomach.
Breast Augmentation
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can all take a toll on the appearance of the breasts. Breast augmentation involves using implants to restore volume and shape to the breasts. This can give mothers a more youthful and perky appearance and help them regain their pre-pregnancy size and curves. Dr. Lalezar will help you choose the ideal breast implants for your needs.
Breast Lift
A breast lift is designed to lift and firm the breasts. This can be a good option for mothers who have lost elasticity and volume in their breasts due to pregnancy and breastfeeding. A breast lift involves the removal of excess skin and repositioning the breast tissue to create a more youthful and perky appearance, making the breasts look firm and upright.
Abdominoplasty
Pregnancy and childbirth can stretch and weaken the abdominal muscles, leading to a protruding stomach and loose skin. An abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, tightens the abdominal muscles and removes excess skin for a smoother, firmer stomach. A tummy tuck can help you achieve a chiseled, firm, and youthful abdomen without excess fat or sagging skin.
Brazilian Butt Lift
A Brazilian butt lift involves transferring fat from one area of the body to the buttocks to give them a fuller and more youthful appearance. This procedure can help mothers looking to improve the shape and contour of their buttocks. The fat is typically taken from the thighs, stomach, or lower back and is then purified and injected into the buttocks.
