What is a Mommy Makeover?

Transforming Lives, One Mom at a Time! Dr. Nemeth goes over benefits of having a Mommy Makeover

Pregnancy and childbirth can create changes in a mother’s body that are stubborn to treat with diet and exercise alone. In fact, the post-partum changes can include separation of the rectus abdominis muscles (diastasis or widening of the “six pack” muscles), loose skin, and stretch marks. Loose, sagging skin and breast volume changes are difficult to improve especially after multiple pregnancies.These problems often can be addressed with surgical techniques such as abdominoplasty (“tummy tuck”), mastopexy (“breast lift”), breast augmentation, and liposuction. The best candidates for these procedures are generally healthy women who have achieved their antepartum weight and completed breast feeding. The surgeons at Plastic Surgery of Westchester can help you decide on the best procedures and appropriate timing for your Mommy Makeover.
