Mommy Makeover

Many women find that pregnancy triggers unwanted changes to their bodies. Restoring your physical appearance to its former self is often challenging without a little extra help through body sculpting.

A mommy makeover in New York offers numerous options to address sagging skin and unwanted fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. You can call Dr. David Abramson today to learn more about the innovative plastic surgeries we offer at our office.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a combination of surgeries designed to repair a woman’s body after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. The procedures are chosen to target the areas most affected.

A significant benefit of a mommy makeover for women in New York is that multiple procedures can be done during the same surgery session. This means a patient can have several surgeries and only one recovery. Most mommy makeovers only require a single surgical session, but some women may need more than one surgery to meet their needs.

A mommy makeover ultimately aims to help you regain your pre-pregnancy figure. While standard procedures are included, every woman receives a customized approach designed to meet her wishes.

What Is Included in a Mommy Makeover?

During your consultation with Dr. David Abramson, you will discuss cosmetic issues that resulted from pregnancy and childbirth and set goals for a combination of procedures that address your needs. Women in New York City can choose several options for their mommy makeover, but the following are the most popular.

Liposuction

During a liposuction, Dr. Abramson removes excess fat deposits. This procedure is not a weight loss surgery and is only used to eliminate targeted fat. It can be done in combination with other surgeries, such as a tummy tuck, arm lift, or thigh lift.

Breast Lift or Augmentation

A breast lift reshapes and raises sagging breast tissue to a higher position on the chest wall. This is done by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue, with the goal of restoring a firmer, more youthful breast silhouette.

Implants or fat transfer may also be used to increase the size and shape of your breasts. A breast augmentation can also correct any symmetry that may have developed during breastfeeding.

Arm or Thigh Lift

An arm lift can reshape the upper arms from the armpit to the elbow. During this procedure, Dr. Abramson removes excess skin and fat in the targeted area. The overall results improve the appearance and firmness of the upper arms. The same can be done to the leg with a thigh lift.

Tummy Tuck and Diastasis Recti

A tummy tuck removes extra skin and fat from around the abdomen and tightens the underlying muscle. This procedure aims to increase your self-confidence and help clothes fit better.

During or after pregnancy, the abdominal walls can separate along the midline. This leads to a bulging belly and weakens core muscles, increasing the risk of lower back pain. Targeted exercises and physical therapy can help, but a surgical diastasis recti may be needed to restore muscle alignment and improve strength.

Labioplasty

After pregnancy and childbirth, the labia minora, labia majora, or both can become stretched, causing pain and discomfort during exercise or sexual intimacy. Labiaplasty reduces the surplus of tissue that can get caught in clothing, reducing pain and discomfort.

Buttock Augmentation

Using implants or a fat transfer (Brazilian butt lift), Dr. Abramson changes the size and shape of the buttocks to create a more balanced and proportioned look with the rest of the body.

What to Expect During Recovery

The length of recovery needed after a mommy makeover depends on the combination of procedures. For example, a liposuction and breast lift recovery will be much shorter than a combined tummy tuck, diastasis recti repair, breast lift, and breast augmentation.

You will receive detailed instructions on how to care for yourself, your incisions, and any drains placed during your procedure. Drains help to remove excess fluid that can accumulate after surgery, improving healing and reducing the risk of infection.

It is important to carefully follow your postoperative instructions to achieve optimal surgery results and prevent complications. Dr. Abramson will provide specific information about activity level, walking, compression garments, and a return follow-up visit.
