What is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a combination of procedures tailored to rejuvenate areas of the body most affected by pregnancy and childbirth. It typically includes breast surgery (such as augmentation, lift or reduction), abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), and liposuction, addressing excess skin, fat, and loss of breast volume. This transformative approach is customized to meet your unique needs and aesthetic goals, helping you feel more confident and comfortable in your skin.

Benefits

• Restores breast shape and volume post-breastfeeding
• Removes excess skin and fat for a smoother, flatter abdomen
• Sculpts and contours the body to enhance your natural figure
• Boosts self-esteem and body confidence

Mommy Makeover Procedures At Dr. Vitolo Plastic Surgery

At Dr. Vitolo Plastic Surgery in Staten Island, NY, we perform customized mommy makeovers that address the unique changes women experience due to pregnancy and breastfeeding. Understanding that each woman’s body and aesthetic goals are different, we offer a range of surgical procedures to restore and enhance your post-pregnancy body. Here’s a closer look at the transformative procedures we provide:

Breast Augmentation

After childbirth and breastfeeding, many women find their breasts have lost volume or appear deflated. Breast augmentation is an ideal solution to restore or enhance breast size and shape. Using saline breast implants and an innovative Scar Less technique, this procedure helps you achieve a fuller, more youthful bust.

Breast Lift

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can lead to sagging breasts, altering their youthful position and contour. A breast lift at Dr. Vitolo Plastic Surgery raises and reshapes the breasts, reversing these changes. By removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue, this cosmetic procedure restores a perky, uplifted breast profile, rejuvenating your appearance and complementing your natural body shape.

Breast Reduction

Some women experience an increase in breast size due to hormonal changes during pregnancy, leading to physical discomfort and a disproportionate body appearance. Breast reduction surgery reduces and reshapes overly large breasts, alleviating discomfort like back pain and enhancing overall body proportion.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is perfect for addressing the loose skin and weakened abdominal muscles that often result from pregnancy. This procedure removes excess fat and skin and tightens the abdominal muscles, sculpting a flatter, more toned stomach. It’s particularly beneficial for women who have experienced significant body changes after childbirth and are looking to regain their pre-pregnancy abdominal contour.

Liposuction

Liposuction effectively removes stubborn fat deposits that diet and exercise alone may not resolve post-pregnancy. Targeting areas like the hips, thighs and abdomen, this procedure sculpts and defines your body. It’s an essential part of the mommy makeover for women seeking comprehensive body reshaping and fat reduction in specific areas affected by pregnancy.

Each of these procedures is performed with the utmost care and precision by Dr. Vitolo, a renowned plastic surgeon in Staten Island, NY. Our aim is to help you achieve your desired post-pregnancy body, boosting your confidence and comfort in your skin.

Ideal Candidates for a Mommy Makeover

Good candidates for a mommy makeover typically include women who have:

• Experienced significant body changes post-pregnancy
• Excess skin and fat in the abdominal area
• An altered breast size or shape after childbirth

Contraindications include active breastfeeding, plans for future pregnancies, significant health issues such as heart disease or uncontrolled diabetes, active infections, and poor wound healing or clotting disorders. It’s also important for patients to have realistic expectations about the results and recovery process.

Before & Afters

After a mommy makeover, you’ll see immediate improvements in body contour and breast shape. Full results become visible over several weeks to months, as swelling subsides and the body heals.

What to Expect from Your Mommy Makeover Procedure

Consultation

Your journey to a mommy makeover at Dr. Vitolo Plastic Surgery begins with an initial consultation. During this meeting, you’ll discuss your aesthetic goals, medical history and any concerns. Your cosmetic surgeon Dr. Vitolo will explain the procedures, customize your treatment plan and ensure you have realistic expectations about the outcomes.

Procedure

On the day of your mommy makeover, the combination of plastic surgery procedures, typically including breast enhancement, tummy tuck and liposuction, will be performed under general anesthesia. Each step of the process focuses on enhancing and restoring your post-pregnancy body, addressing excess skin, fat, and any other concerns discussed during your consultation. Dr. Vitolo will employ his Scar Less technique to create as few incisions as possible, speeding your recovery and resulting in fewer scars.

Recovery and follow-ups

Post-procedure, you’ll enter a recovery phase where rest is crucial. You can expect some swelling and discomfort initially, managed with prescribed medication. It’s important to wear compression garments as instructed and avoid strenuous activities. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your healing process.

FAQs

What is the best age for a mommy makeover?

The best age for a mommy makeover varies depending on individual circumstances. It’s generally recommended for women who have completed childbearing and breastfeeding. Age is less a factor than your overall health, skin quality, and how your body has recovered post-pregnancy. 

How long should I wait after childbirth to have a mommy makeover?

It’s typically advised to wait at least 6 months to a year after childbirth before undergoing a mommy makeover. This waiting period allows your body to recover naturally from pregnancy, for weight to stabilize, and if you are breastfeeding, for milk production to cease. If you’ve recently undergone significant weight loss, we also recommend that you be at a stable weight for at least 6 months.

Can a mommy makeover help with stretch marks?

A mommy makeover can help reduce the appearance of stretch marks, especially those located on areas treated during the tummy tuck portion of the procedure, as it involves removing excess skin.
