Mommy Makeover New York City, NY

It’s important that you undergo a mommy makeover only after you are at or close to your ideal weight. So if you want to shed some pounds, do it before your surgery. You should have finished breastfeeding and no longer be lactating in order to qualify for a mommy makeover. As with any surgical endeavor, patients should be non-smokers who are mentally and physically healthy and have no significant medical issues to contend with. Their outlook towards surgery should be positive and realistic, based on a private consultation with our team.

All surgeries involve incisions, but Dr. Anteuse uses a meticulous, conservative technique that minimizes scarring. The incisions are placed in a way that the scars become virtually invisible later. For instance, the tummy tuck scar is well-hidden by the bikini line, and the bra lines cover the breast augmentation scars.

It is generally not recommended to undergo a mommy makeover until after you finish giving birth, because pregnancy can stretch, distort, and compromise your aesthetic results. However, there is no physical or medical reason why you couldn’t get pregnant again in the future.

After your mommy makeover, it’s important to maintain a healthy, balanced lifestyle that includes nutritious foods, exercise, rest, and relaxation. If you do gain a significant amount of weight, it might distort your outcome. For most patients, mommy makeover results are long-lasting and sustainable, improving your physique and your confidence for years to come.

You’ll need help from friends and family, especially during the first 10-14 days. Avoid lifting children (especially those over 10 lbs) initially, so plan support in advance.

There is no specific ‘best’ age for a mommy makeover. The ideal age varies based on individual health and lifestyle factors. Generally, women in their 30s to 40s, after they have completed having children, are good candidates for the procedure.

The ideal weight for a Mommy Makeover is typically within 10-15 pounds of your target or stable weight. This ensures optimal results, as significant weight fluctuations after surgery can affect the outcome.

Results from a Mommy Makeover can last many years, especially with a healthy lifestyle and stable weight. While aging and lifestyle factors may eventually alter results, the improvements from the procedure are long-lasting.

Anesthesia is used to keep you comfortable throughout your mommy makeover, with the specific approach depending on the procedures included in your surgical plan. We will discuss whether sedation is indicated for your procedure with Dr. Antell during your consultation. After surgery, you will have access to oral pain medication to help alleviate any soreness.

Your surgical journey starts with a private consultation. Next, you will attend a preoperative session and have your surgery. Follow-up visits are then scheduled to support optimal healing and help prevent complications.

After a mommy makeover, you will see improvements right away, but changes continue to evolve and improve over time as swelling resolves and your tissues settle into their new shape. It can take 3-6 months for the full benefits of your mommy makeover in New York City to emerge.

Patients are advised to wait 4 to 6 weeks before flying or taking longer road trips after a mommy makeover in NYC. The procedure involves multiple surgeries, such as a tummy tuck and breast enhancement. Traveling too soon heightens your risk of serious complications like blood clotting.

• Swelling
• Bruising
