Mommy Makeover In New York City

Introduction

Restore the Curves You Miss.

The mommy makeover is one of today’s most popular combination plastic surgery techniques, designed specifically to address common issues faced by women who have been through pregnancy and breastfeeding.

“Mommy makeover” is a catch-all phrase for a specialized combination of body-contouring procedures, performed together or separately, to address the physical changes that linger long after pregnancy. One reason for its popularity is that the mommy makeover has no set components; each procedure is custom-tailored to fit the individual patient’s unique needs. However, the surgical approach generally starts with a breast and abdomen contouring procedure, then adds additional elements as needed.

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Craig Baldenhofer in New York performs mommy makeover surgery with nuanced artistry and precision, delivering refined outcomes that stand the test of time.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

Wish you could feel like your old self again – attractive, energized, and fit? If so, you may be an excellent candidate for a mommy makeover, a comprehensive procedure that restores a woman’s figure after pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing. A mommy makeover can revitalize your look from head to toe and help you reclaim your vitality, confidence, and positive self-image. 

The procedure can encompass several treatments of your choice but typically involves breast surgery (augmentation, lift, or reduction), liposuction, abdominoplasty, and labiaplasty. Dr. Baldenhofer can also combine your mommy makeover with non-surgical facial techniques, such as dermal filler or neuromodulator injections.

You Don’t Have To Be A Mommy For A Mommy Makeover

Some women experience the same body concerns as mothers, even if they have never been pregnant. The combination of procedures is available to anyone seeking the transformative results a mommy makeover provides.

Who are the best candidates for a Mommy Makeover?

Does This Sound Like You?

  1. My breasts have dwindled in size and are saggy.
  2. The top portion of my breasts is flat and has no volume.
  3. I have pockets of fat on my stomach that won’t go away.
  4. The skin on my stomach is stretched out and loose.

If so, it may be time to consider a mommy makeover with Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Baldenhofer in Manhattan, Long Island, and the Tri-State Area. Mommy makeover surgery is suitable for women with the following traits:

  • In good health
  • Non-smoker
  • Realistic expectations
  • At a stable weight
  • Finished having children
  • Frustrated that dieting and exercise have not achieved the desired contouring results
  • Willing to follow Dr. Baldenhofer’s instructions before and after surgery
  • Willing to devote the proper amount of time to recovery

What Are the Benefits of a Mommy Makeover?

Performed with artistry, precision, and expertise by Board-certified aesthetic authority Dr. Baldenhofer in New York, a mommy makeover provides a wealth of impressive advantages, including:

  • Eliminates stubborn, exercise-resistant fat
  • Trims loose, sagging skin
  • Firms lax, weakened, or separated abdominal muscles
  • Restores a youthful, inviting appearance
  • More impactful than dieting and exercise alone
  • It can be highly customized to individual goals
  • Boosts confidence
  • Improves clothing, lingerie, and swimwear options
  • Lasting, natural-looking changes

A Tummy Tuck May Offer More Than A Flat Stomach

A tummy tuck provides the cosmetic benefit of a flatter, smoother midsection. This alone can improve your outward appearance and self-esteem, but there may be even more benefits. Some research suggests that a tummy tuck may help relieve urinary incontinence and back pain after pregnancy.

5 Tips to Follow Before Your Mommy Makeover in New York

1. refill prescriptions Early:

Speak with your doctor about the medications you will need after surgery, and see if any can be filled in advance so you won’t have to worry about them immediately after your procedures.

2. Avoid Blood-Thinning Medications:

Avoid aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements, as they can increase the risk of bleeding.

3. Make Sure Your Weight Is Stable:

Because a mommy makeover usually entails a tummy tuck and liposuction, it’s important that you are at an ideal weight for your height and body type. If not, you may not be happy with your results.

4. Establish Healthy Habits Beforehand:

Doing so will prepare your body for recovery and help you maintain your results afterward. Furthermore, intense workouts may be off-limits for part of your recovery time, so adhering to a healthy diet will be essential.

5. Schedule A Helper:

Be sure to schedule a helper, friend, family member, or responsible adult prior to your surgery to drive you home and assist you for the first several days. You may need help with basic tasks, as you will need to avoid bending, reaching, and overexerting yourself.

What to Expect on the Day of a Mommy Makeover

On the day of your procedure in New York, our team will welcome you and place you in a comfortable, state-of-the-art treatment suite, where we will briefly review your surgical plan and answer any final questions you may have. You will then be given general anesthesia, allowing you to fall into a deep sleep while Dr. Baldenhofer revitalizes your physique.

As a first step, the doctor will create your incisions according to your agreed-upon treatment plan. Great care is taken to place incisions in areas where scarring will be difficult to discern later. The doctor will then remove excess skin, tissue, and fat while firming underlying muscles and restoring a sculpted, youthful figure.

Once all changes have been completed, Dr. Baldenhofer will close your incisions and place you in our recovery area, where we can carefully monitor you until it is safe for you to leave. You will need a friend, family member, or responsible adult to drive you home, as you will still be groggy from general anesthesia.

Procedures May Not Be Performed At the Same Time

Depending on which procedures are included, your surgeon may space some procedures out rather than performing them all at once. 

If You Have A C-Section or Hysterectomy Scar, No Additional Scar Is Needed

Both a C-section and hysterectomy incision are made on the lower part of the stomach, which your plastic surgeon can remove during the full tummy tuck portion of your mommy makeover. Any excess skin that hangs over the existing scar can be removed and tightened, resulting in a single scar and a much smoother contour.

Combining a Mommy Makeover with Other Procedures

A mommy makeover itself is a combination procedure, but it can be paired with non-invasive facial rejuvenation techniques, including the following:

Dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid-based injectables that erase static wrinkles and restore plumpness, volume, and youthfulness in the complexion. They can be used to reverse signs of aging in the lips, cheeks, forehead, jawline, temples, and under-eye region.

You will also be fitted with compression garments to ensure structural support and minimize swelling during recovery.
