Mommy Makeover Overview

Restore and Enhance With a Mommy Makeover

Dr. Parizh understands that each woman's body and desired aesthetic improvements are unique, so he crafts a customized surgical plan to restore a more youthful, toned appearance with a mommy makeover. Whether it involves breast augmentation, a tummy tuck, liposuction, or other rejuvenating treatments, Dr. David Parizh is dedicated to helping mothers regain their confidence and body contour with a mommy makeover in Long Island.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

After having a baby, many mothers seek rejuvenation in areas most impacted by pregnancy and childbirth, which typically include the abdomen, where skin and muscles may have stretched; the breasts, which often change in size and shape; and the waistline, hips, and buttocks, where fat deposits may have shifted. A mommy makeover aims to address these physical changes that can persist following pregnancy and childbirth regardless of diet and exercise. Dr. Parizh helps restore the body's silhouette to a more youthful and toned appearance, reflecting the individual's aesthetic aspirations.

Procedures that may be included in a mommy makeover:

  • Breast augmentation: Enhances breast volume and shape.
  • Breast lift (mastopexy): Raises and firms the breasts.
  • Breast reduction: Reduces the size and weight of large breasts for comfort.
  • Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty): Removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and restores weakened or separated muscles.
  • Liposuction: Targets and removes fat from specific areas for more defined body contours.
  • Buttock augmentation: Enhances the size and shape of the buttocks.
  • Labiaplasty: Reshapes or reduces the size of the labia minora.
  • Vaginal rejuvenation: Tightens and rejuvenates the vaginal area.
  • Thigh lift: Removes excess skin and fat from the thighs for a smoother, more toned appearance.

Are You a Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

Candidates for a mommy makeover in Long Island with Dr. David Parizh have experienced body changes due to pregnancy and childbirth and are looking to restore or enhance their pre-pregnancy physique. Ideal candidates have realistic expectations about the outcome, are in good overall health, have stabilized their weight, and are not planning future pregnancies, as subsequent pregnancies can alter the results. It's also essential for candidates to have stopped breastfeeding, allowing the breasts to return to their baseline state. A personal enhancement plan through a mommy makeover is best pursued when an individual has the time and support needed for a successful recovery. During your consultation with Dr. Parizh, factors such as overall health, lifestyle, and aesthetic aspirations are discussed to ensure that a mommy makeover is an appropriate and effective option for achieving the desired improvements.

What Are the Benefits of a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a comprehensive approach to restoring your pre-pregnancy body. By combining procedures like tummy tuck, breast enhancement, and liposuction, this surgery can address multiple concerns in one session, minimizing downtime. Benefits include:

  • Restoring a firmer, more youthful figure
  • Tightening stretched abdominal muscles
  • Enhancing breast shape and volume
  • Removing stubborn fat deposits
  • Improving self-confidence and body image

How Can I Prepare for My Mommy Makeover?

Preparation is key to a smooth procedure and recovery. You should be in good health, at a stable weight, and finished with childbearing. Steps to prepare include:

  • Stopping smoking and avoiding certain medications
  • Arranging for post-surgical care and support
  • Maintaining a nutritious diet and exercise routine
  • Following all pre-op instructions provided by Dr. Parizh

Your Initial Mommy Makeover Consultation

During your consultation, Dr. Parizh will take the time to understand your concerns, discuss your aesthetic goals, and evaluate your overall health. He will assess areas of your body that have changed due to pregnancy and childbirth, such as the abdomen, breasts, and other areas affected by excess skin or stubborn fat. Based on your unique anatomy and desired outcome, Dr. Parizh will recommend a customized surgical plan that may include procedures like a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast augmentation, or breast lift.

You will also be able to ask any questions about the procedure, recovery, and expected results. Dr. Parizh will explain the risks and benefits of each procedure, review before-and-after photos, and discuss what you can realistically expect from your mommy makeover. This is the perfect time to address any concerns about downtime, scarring, or combining procedures. By the end of your consultation, you should feel well-informed and confident in your decision to proceed with surgery.

What Is Recovery Like After a Mommy Makeover?

Recovery from a mommy makeover varies depending on the combination of procedures performed, but most patients need two to three weeks of downtime before returning to normal activities. Swelling, bruising, and soreness are expected, peaking within the first five to seven days before gradually subsiding. You may be required to wear compression garments to help minimize swelling and support the healing process. Pain is usually manageable with prescribed medications, and it’s important to follow all post-operative care instructions provided by Dr. Parizh to ensure a smooth recovery.

Because a mommy makeover addresses multiple areas of the body at once, taking time off from strenuous activities, including heavy lifting and exercise, is crucial for at least six weeks. This is especially important for mothers with young children, as lifting toddlers or carrying heavy objects too soon can impact healing. Follow-up appointments with Dr. Parizh will allow him to monitor your progress and provide guidance on when you can safely resume daily routines. With proper care, you can expect your final results to emerge over the next six to eight months as the swelling fully resolves and your body heals.

What are the considerations for a mommy makeover after a C-section?

A mommy makeover can be particularly beneficial for women who have had C-sections. Surgeons can often use the existing C-section scar to perform a tummy tuck, removing excess skin and repairing any diastasis recti (separation of abdominal muscles), which is common after pregnancy.

Is it possible to have more children after a mommy makeover?

Yes, it is physically possible to have children after a mommy makeover, but it is typically not recommended as future pregnancies can reverse the effects of the surgical procedures. It is best to consider a mommy makeover when you have completed your family.

How does a mommy makeover address stretch marks?

A mommy makeover can reduce the appearance of stretch marks, especially those located on the areas of skin that are removed during a tummy tuck. However, it is important to note that not all stretch marks can be removed if they are located on areas not addressed by skin removal.

What are the limitations of a mommy makeover in terms of weight loss?

It's important to note that a mommy makeover is not a weight-loss procedure. It is best performed on women who are close to their ideal weight but are looking to address issues like loose skin, stretch marks, or a bulging abdomen that diet and exercise cannot fix.

How is pain managed after a mommy makeover?

Post-operative pain management is a crucial aspect of recovery from a mommy makeover in Long Island. Typically, patients are prescribed pain medications, and some surgeons use long-acting local anesthetics or pain pumps that deliver medication directly to the surgical site to reduce discomfort.

Are there any risks associated with mommy makeover surgery?

As with any surgery, there are risks, including infection, bleeding, and anesthesia-related complications. However, choosing a board-certified surgeon like Dr. Parizh minimizes these risks through expert techniques and careful planning.

How long should I wait after having children to get the surgery?

It’s recommended to wait at least six months to a year after childbirth and breastfeeding to allow your body to fully recover and for your weight to stabilize.

Do I have to have all of the procedures listed above as part of my mommy makeover?

No, your mommy makeover is fully customizable. Dr. Parizh will tailor the procedure to your needs, whether you want breast augmentation alone or a combination of treatments.

Will my mommy makeover be covered by insurance?

Because a mommy makeover is considered cosmetic, insurance typically does not cover it. However, financing options may be available.

Will I experience any numbness after surgery?

Temporary numbness is common, especially around incision sites. Sensation usually returns over several weeks to months as the nerves heal.
