Mommy makeover surgery allows Dr. Greenwald to combine multiple cosmetic procedures during one operation to help new mothers offset the unsightly physical changes that often occur during pregnancy. Mommy makeover is a custom, comprehensive surgical treatment that addresses a woman’s body sculpting needs after pregnancy. Although hitting the gym and dieting can help moms lose any extra pounds and restore their slim, attractive figure to a certain extent, often changes such as deflated breasts, cellulite, loose skin around the belly and irregular pockets of fat do not disappear without surgical intervention.
A respected cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Joshua Greenwald is able to combine the following cosmetic procedures to help his Westchester County mommy makeover patients restore their physical beauty: breast augmentation and/or breast lift, tummy tuck surgery and liposuction. Additional procedures can also be incorporated and are determined by Dr. Greenwald case-by-case, depending on a patient’s candidacy.
Mommy makeover surgery is performed under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility. During breast enhancement, the patient’s breasts are augmented with breast implants, if needed, and lifted to a higher position on the chest. Leftover baby fat or pockets of localized fat deposits are suctioned out from under the skin with liposuction, a procedure that involves small incisions and a cannula (hollow vacuum device that breaks up and removes fat). Tummy tuck tightens weakened abdominal muscles and eliminates excess fat and stretched, droopy skin, which is common after weight loss and pregnancy.
Recovery from mommy makeover surgery varies from one patient to another and depending on the complexity of the treatment. In general, patients return to work within 10 days and achieve full recovery in about four to six weeks. Dr. Greenwald carefully monitors his mommy makeover patients postoperatively to ensure safety and optimal aesthetic results.
Statistics released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons show that mommy makeover surgery is on the rise. In fact, in less than 10 years the number of women having tummy tucks rose more than 85 percent, breast lift surgery rose 70 percent and breast augmentation is up 40 percent.
