Restore Your Pre-Pregnancy Contours

Introduction to Mommy Makeover

There is nothing like the joy and wonder of raising children and watching them grow into responsible, happy adults. Pregnancy and childbirth, however, are taxing on a woman’s body. Regaining your pre-pregnancy body can be challenging, with some changes not responding to diet or exercise.

Dr. Antell, a board-certified plastic surgeon with over two decades of experience performing mommy makeovers in NYC, is the perfect solution to restoring your pre-pregnancy figure and reestablishing your self-confidence and satisfaction with your body.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a tailor-made set of surgical procedures to restore a woman’s body after pregnancy and childbirth. After a thorough evaluation of your body and a discussion of your goals, Dr. Antell will work with you to customize the procedure to achieve your vision for your body.

Dr. Antell’s mommy makeover in NYC can effectively treat:

  • Sagging, excess skin
  • Drooping or “deflated” breasts
  • Stubborn pockets of fat
  • Loose abdominal area
  • Facial rejuvenation
  • Sagging abdominal skin and tissue

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 it may include some or all of the following treatments:

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.

Who Are the Best Candidates for a Mommy Makeover?

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 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 to have more children in the near future, as additional pregnancies can alter the results.
  • Recovery Time: Make sure you can set aside time for both the surgery and recovery, giving your body the time it needs 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!

How to Begin Your Mommy Makeover Journey

To get started on the path to a more youthful, sculpted figure with a mommy makeover in NYC, you will first attend a preliminary consultation with our team of aesthetic specialists. This first visit entails:

  • A comprehensive medical evaluation and review of any pre-existing conditions, allergies, and current medications
  • A physical assessment and skin quality analysis 
  • A discussion about your goals, concerns, preferences, and expectations
  • Direct answers to all your questions
  • An overview of the surgery’s risks, recovery time, costs, and potential outcomes
  • The creation of a customized surgical plan that reflects your needs
  • Information and guidelines for preparing for your surgery date

What to Expect on the Day of a Mommy Makeover

Your mommy makeover in New York, NY, is customized based on the procedures included in your surgical plan. Many of our procedures are performed using local anesthesia alone. However, when appropriate, we may recommend sedation (also known as twilight anesthesia) to enhance your comfort. We will discuss whether sedation is indicated for your procedure during your consultation with Dr. Antell. Dr. Antell will create carefully placed incisions based on the procedures being performed and carry out your customized body-contouring plan with precision and attention to proportion.

Once all changes have been completed, Dr. Antell will close your incisions, and you will be placed in our recovery suite for careful monitoring until you are cleared to return home.

Mommy Makeover Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Mommy Makeover Care

While recovery for a mommy makeover will take longer than that for a single treatment, your overall healing time will be shorter than if you had undergone each procedure separately. The mommy makeover is a highly customized body-contouring solution, allowing each patient to experience their own recovery journey.

The doctor will provide a detailed aftercare plan and prescribe pain medication. You may be asked to wear compression garments, which help to minimize 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.

Combining a Mommy Makeover With Other Procedures

A mommy makeover is itself a series of body-sculpting procedures that work synergistically to revitalize your look. However, you can add non-surgical facial rejuvenation techniques to take your outcome to the next level. Complementary treatments include:

Known as neuromodulators, BOTOX and wrinkle relaxers can be injected to eliminate frustrating frown lines, glabellar creases, and crow’s feet around the eyes, all without downtime or discomfort.

How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost in New York City?

A mommy makeover is different for each patient, and therefore pricing can vary. Factors affecting costs include the specific procedures chosen for your surgical plan, your goals, anesthesia fees, the surgeon’s fees, facility fees, and more. After we complete your initial consultation and medical review, we will provide a customized quote.
