Mommy Makeover
Surgery

A Mommy Makeover combines several cosmetic surgery procedures to help you regain your pre-pregnancy figure and enhance your body confidence. The benefits include: • Restore youthful contours with a combination of body contouring and breast surgery procedures. • Repair weakened abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) through Tummy Tuck (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/tummy-tuck)surgery. • Tighten and smooth the midsection, removing stubborn abdominal fat. • Elevate the breasts and restore volume with Breast Augmentation,(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/breast-augmentation) a Breast Lift,(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/breast-lift) or Breast Reduction.(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/breast-reduction) • Improve breast symmetry for a natural and balanced look. • Increase clothing options and significantly boost your self-esteem.

Ideal candidates for Mommy Makeover surgery are women who have finished breastfeeding, have realistic expectations about their results, and are not planning any future pregnancies. It is also recommended to be at or near your ideal weight before undergoing surgery to ensure the best possible outcome. Mothers who have experienced significant weight loss or have excess skin after childbirth are also excellent candidates. Women interested in breast augmentation as part of their Mommy Makeover should be over 35 or have no family history of breast cancer. If you fall into this category, a preliminary mammogram may be required to ensure optimal results.

At our state-of-the-art Manhattan surgical center, Mommy Makeover surgery is performed under general anesthesia for your comfort and safety. While each Mommy Makeover is unique, it typically takes several hours to complete. Your personalized Mommy Makeover will include at least two or more of the following procedures: • Breast Lift(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/breast-lift) • Breast Augmentation(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/breast-augmentation) • Tummy Tuck(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/tummy-tuck) • Liposuction(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/liposuction) • Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)(https://www.newlooknewlife.com/bbl)

A breast lift addresses sagging breasts (ptosis) by tightening the glandular tissue and removing excess skin, restoring a natural-looking shape and youthful perkiness.

Breast augmentation restores volume to deflated breasts or enhances the size of naturally small breasts through breast implants. You can choose between saline implants (rounder and firmer) or silicone implants (a more natural feel and look).

Tummy tuck surgery restores tight and smooth abdominal contours by removing loose abdominal skin and fat. This procedure also corrects weakened or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) to restore aesthetics, comfort, and core abdominal strength.

Liposuction surgery removes unwanted pockets of fat from the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, and any other location that developed stubborn fatty deposits following pregnancy and childbirth.

While Liposuction (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/liposuction)is the gold standard for permanently removing stubborn pockets of fat, it is not designed to tighten the overlying skin. If you have mild to moderate skin laxity, removing fat can sometimes leave the treated area looking slightly loose or deflated. By pairing your liposuction with a Renuvion® (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/renuvion)treatment, Dr. Claudia Kim (https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.newlooknewlife.com/dr-claudia-kim)can actively shrink and tighten the skin from the inside out using advanced radiofrequency and helium plasma energy. This dynamic combination ensures your newly sculpted contours look incredibly smooth, firm, and natural.

The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) enhances buttock fullness and roundness by injecting the fat that was removed with liposuction into various areas of the buttocks. This fat transfer procedure allows women to restore voluptuous, hourglass curves after having children.

You can expect bruising, swelling, tenderness, and numbness at your incision sites. Compression garments will be wrapped around your treated areas to promote blood circulation, reduce swelling, protect the incisions, and facilitate healing. Women who have undergone Mommy Makeover surgery need to rest comfortably during their recovery but should frequently get on their feet for leisurely walks to promote circulation. Patients must refrain from strenuous activity and exercise (including lifting, carrying, pushing, or pulling anything over 10 pounds) for at least six weeks. Dr. Claudia Kim provides her cell phone number to all Mommy Makeover patients so she can be easily reached anytime during recovery.

Mommy Makeover surgery is performed under general anesthesia to prevent pain during the procedure. You can expect to develop some discomfort following your Mommy Makeover once the anesthesia leaves your system. This soreness can be effectively alleviated with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication and rest. You will be provided with specific pain management instructions tailored to your combination of procedures.

Mommy Makeover surgery requires multiple incisions in various regions of the body. While Dr. Claudia Kim strategically places these incisions in easy-to-conceal locations (such as below the bikini line), they will result in some degree of post-operative scarring. Scarring will naturally fade with time and can be further lightened with topical scar creams and silicone strips.

Mommy Makeover surgery is an extensive combination procedure that requires multiple techniques. Because this surgery is heavily personalized to your anatomy, it is impossible to perfectly estimate the price of your Mommy Makeover until your consultation. Check out our Pricing page (https://www.newlooknewlife.com/pricing)to learn more.

Proper preparation is essential to a smooth treatment and recovery process. For your safety, you must stop smoking and stop taking blood-thinning medications (including aspirin, ibuprofen, and some herbal supplements) for at least two weeks before and after your surgery. You must also arrange transportation to and from your procedure and coordinate childcare during your recovery.

Mommy Makeover surgery repairs the tissues that were damaged by pregnancy and childbirth. While this surgery will not prevent you from getting pregnant or impact your child's health, becoming pregnant will stretch the skin and muscles again, which can reverse your beautiful results. This is why we highly recommend waiting to undergo this cosmetic surgery until after you are completely finished having children.

During your recovery, you must not lift anything over 10 pounds for the first six weeks. This may make childcare difficult if you have toddlers or young children who need to be picked up. You must rely on a strong support system (like a spouse, family member, or nanny) during this time to help with your children's physical needs as well as all day-to-day household chores.

Dr. Claudia Kim has extensive experience performing complex breast and body enhancement procedures, safely helping many women achieve the return of their pre-pregnancy body contours. While complications at New Look New Life are rare, they are possible with any surgery. These risks include adverse reactions to anesthesia, bleeding, infection, blood clots, or implant complications.

Most women should plan to take at least two weeks off from work following their Mommy Makeover. Women with particularly strenuous jobs or those whose jobs require them to be on their feet all day may require additional time.

Absolutely. Combining your breast and body procedures into one single surgery is actually highly beneficial! It means you only have to undergo general anesthesia once, pay a single facility and anesthesiologist fee, and—most importantly—only have to go through one recovery period.
