Am I a Candidate for a Mommy Makeover in NYC with Dr. Antell?

Considering a mommy makeover is a big decision, especially when balancing family life and the demands of surgery and recovery. However, the benefits — from increased self-confidence to an improved physical condition — can significantly enhance your quality of life. If you’re wondering if a mommy makeover is right for you, here are some factors to consider:

Postpartum Changes: If you’re experiencing unwanted changes in your body after childbirth, such as loose skin, sagging breasts, or stubborn areas of fat, a mommy makeover can help restore your pre-pregnancy appearance.
Future Family Plans: Ideal candidates are those who do not plan on having more children in the near future, as additional pregnancies can alter results.
Recovery Time: Make sure you can set aside time for both the surgery and recovery, allowing your body the proper time to heal.
Timing After Childbirth: It’s best to wait at least six months after giving birth before considering a mommy makeover, ensuring your body has fully recovered from childbirth.

If you meet these criteria and are ready to prioritize your own well-being, a mommy makeover with Dr. Antell may be the right choice for you!

What procedures are involved in a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover often includes several procedures, all customized to meet your goals. Each mommy makeover that Dr. Antell performs is different, and they may include some or all of the following treatments:

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is performed to combat volume loss in the chest and create rounder, more feminine-looking breasts. Implants made from saline or silicone are used to increase the cup size and offset breast deflation that occurs with aging, pregnancy, or massive weight loss.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Breast lift surgery addresses breast ptosis, or sagging. The procedure is often performed in combination with breast augmentation to improve both the shape and the angle of the breasts, repositioning the nipples in a more youthful position. A breast lift can also accompany a breast reduction procedure. In either case, after mastopexy, the breasts appear perkier and more attractive.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

A tummy tuck can remove excess sagging abdominal skin, trim stubborn fat, and tighten the six-pack muscles, which may have become separated after childbirth. After a tummy tuck, the stomach appears firm, flat, and sculpted, opening up a whole new world of wardrobe options.

Lower Body Lift

A lower body lift is a combination treatment that contours the hips, thighs, and buttocks for a tighter, firmer physique. It is an ideal option for clients who have undergone massive weight loss and are looking to shed the drooping skin that causes chafing, irritation, and a poor self-image.

Liposuction

Liposuction is the ideal foil to bulky fat that won’t budge no matter how much you diet or exercise. Liposuction can be used to streamline, slim, and sculpt multiple areas of the body, including the thighs, belly, bra rolls, back, waist, hips, and more.

What can I expect from my recovery after a mommy makeover?

While recovery for a mommy makeover will take longer than it might for a single treatment, altogether, your healing time will be shorter than if you had undergone each procedure by itself. The mommy makeover is a highly customized body contouring solution, so each patient will experience their own recovery journey.

The doctor will provide you with a detailed aftercare plan and prescription pain medications. You may be asked to wear compression garments, which work to minimize your swelling and keep your new, sculpted contours intact. In general, your swelling, pain, and bruising will persist for a few weeks. You should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for at least six weeks. Most patients return to work around the third week after their surgeries.

How do I get started with my Mommy Makeover?

Dr. Darrick E. Antell and his staff will be happy to provide a discreet and private consultation to evaluate your needs and discuss a mommy makeover in his New York City office. Please call the office at (212) 988-4040 to schedule your consultation.

Mommy Makeover FAQ

What is the best way to prepare for a mommy makeover?

It’s important that you undergo a mommy makeover only after you are at or close to your ideal weight. So if you wish to shed some pounds, you should do it before your surgeries. 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.

What will my scars be like after a mommy makeover?

All surgeries come with incisions, but Dr. Antell practices a meticulously detailed, conservative technique that minimizes your scarring. The incisions are placed in such a way that the scars later become virtually invisible. For instance, the tummy tuck scar is well-hidden by the bikini line, and the breast augmentation scars are covered by the bra lines.

Should I get a mommy makeover if I plan to get pregnant again?

It is generally not recommended to undergo a mommy makeover until after you are finished giving birth, only 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.

How can I preserve my results after a mommy makeover?

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.

What is the best age for a Mommy Makeover?

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.

What is the ideal weight for a Mommy Makeover?

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.

How many years does a Mommy Makeover last?

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.
