Feel More Confident in Your Body This Summer with a Mommy Makeover

Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding all take a tremendous toll on your body. While being able to miraculously grow, birth, and feed your baby with your body, doing all those things makes physical changes less than ideal.

Some moms seem to bounce right back after the postpartum period. However, a mommy makeover could be the answer if you feel your body is slow to recover even after eating right and trying to get in shape.

At Ayewah Aesthetics — in the Midtown West neighborhood of New York City, New York — board-certified plastic surgeon Martha Ayewah, DO, and our team are passionate about helping moms feel confident in their skin. 

This month’s blog looks at what a mommy makeover is and how it can help boost your body confidence in time for summer.

What does a mommy makeover include?

A mommy makeover is a customized treatment plan that provides you with a slimmer and more youthful physique through a series of cosmetic surgeries. These procedures can get your pre-baby body back or accentuate your natural figure. 

The following are the surgeries we provide as part of our mommy makeover plans at Ayewah Aesthetics:

Breast augmentation

Significant weight fluctuations before and after pregnancy, along with breastfeeding, can leave your breasts looking “deflated.” When you choose breast augmentation, Dr. Ayewah can place breast implants to help your breasts look and feel fuller.  

Breast lift

A breast lift is often combined with breast augmentation to address sagging breasts. During a breast lift, Dr. Ayewah makes a few incisions to remove excess skin and tighten your breast tissue. She can also move your nipple and areola upwards to give your breasts a more lifted and youthful appearance. 

Tummy tuck

Because pregnancy causes your abdomen to stretch so much, you might be left with a lot of loose skin around your stomach after you give birth. Pregnancy and childbirth can also lead to a condition called diastasis recti, where the muscles in your abdominal wall separate. 

During a tummy tuck, Dr. Ayewah makes an incision in your abdomen to remove excess skin and fat and tighten your abdominal wall.

Liposuction

After the postpartum period has ended, if you have stubborn areas of fat that won’t go away even with diet and exercise, liposuction could be very beneficial. At Ayewah Aesthetics, Dr. Ayewah uses ultrasound energy to break apart unwanted fat deposits in your hips, stomach, and thighs.

Brazilian butt lift

For a more hourglass-shaped figure, Dr. Ayewah takes fat using liposuction from your hips or thighs and transfers it to your buttocks. As a result, this gives you a smaller waist and more voluminous buttocks. 

Labiaplasty

A labiaplasty reduces the size of your labia minora, which are the skin folds surrounding your urethra and vagina. After you give birth, excess labial tissue can get pinched or stretched when you exercise or have sex. This situation can be incredibly uncomfortable and painful, so a labiaplasty seeks to rejuvenate your labia minora and reduce pain.
