Summer is quickly approaching and soon you will find yourself planning a relaxing day on the beach with your children. If you have just given birth or you are a mom located in NYC that is ready for an improved look, the mommy makeover is something you will want to consider. There are a variety of procedures to choose from, such as tummy tuck surgery, liposuction, breast lift and breast reduction. Mommy makeover procedures will surely restore your post-baby body, get you ready for summer and reveal your inner self-confidence once more.

Tummy Tuck Surgery

During pregnancy, your skin is weakened and stretched out to accommodate your growing baby bump. Many mothers in NYC experience stretch marks and sagging skin that may become permanent. A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes sagging skin and reshapes the waist and abdomen. The benefits of this procedure are a defined waistline, firm tummy and improved self-esteem. However, after only a few weeks you can resume your normal daily activities, including regular exercising. During the recovery period, bandages, dressings and compression garments are common. Your doctor will give you a recovery plan so you will know exactly when it is okay to resume physical activities during your recovery period.

Liposuction

Some pregnancies can leave difficult to manage pockets of fat and give the appearance of an undefined waistline. If you have been eating healthy and exercising only to find that the problem area doesn’t respond to your efforts, you may want to consider liposuction. This procedure involves the removal of resistant fat in the abdomen region, specifically along the waist, hips and surrounding areas. Liposuction procedures involve the injection of fluid into the treated area and the use of a small tube to remove the fat. Benefits you will receive from liposuction are quick results and a firmer, more toned appearance. Recovery time varies per patient and is determined by the intensity of the procedure. Usually patients are capable of returning to their regular schedules within a few weeks.

Breast Lift

Pregnancy can cause a woman’s nipples and breasts to sag. Many new mothers experience this and are often surprised. This situation can be solved with a breast lift. Mastopexy is a procedure that trims excess skin and tightens the supporting tissues. Benefits of this procedure include a firmer, youthful look. During the first few weeks of recovery, patients can expect to experience swelling, discomfort and bruising. Pain medication is commonly needed to reduce discomfort for the first week or longer. The doctor will provide instructions on how to care for dressings and bandages throughout the healing process.

Breast Reduction

During pregnancy breasts usually swell and become enlarged. Afterwards they gradually return to their normal size. Sometimes breasts can remain enlarged and cause discomfort as well as backaches. Breast reduction surgery will help breasts return to their natural shape and form. This procedure removes extra tissue, skin and fat from the breast and involves the repositioning of the nipple. Physical activity is limited for a few weeks after surgery. Patients may expect to have slight swelling or discomfort during recovery.

Women and fashion go together like mommies and makeovers…

For that reasoning, Dr. Douglas Steinbrech has offered his expertise on how to “Fit in Your Boyfriend Jeans”.

1. Boyfriend jeans are supposed to look and feel like the jeans a woman might borrow (or steal) from her boyfriend. They have a fairly relaxed fit, usually straight legs that may or may not be cuffed at the bottom, and they should look a bit big on the wearer.

Who knew there were non-invasive treatments available to help contour your waistline and mid-section so you look fabulous completing the edgy, tomboy chic style?

Fit in Your Boyfriend Jeans 

It is one thing to have trouble fitting into your favorite pair of chic skinny jeans, but when the ultra trendy, and seemingly loose fit of your boyfriend jeans becomes a tight squeeze, it is harder to justify the appeal of the style.

To Look Fab…

Find Your Right Level of Bagginess

Boyfriend Jeans vary in the amount of wear and tear, wash, frays, and bagginess. The secret again is your waist, your most womanly asset. Keep your boyfriend jeans more snug around your waist and roomier in the hips and thigh area in order to avoid a bunching, stumpy appearance. Since some styles are unstructured, they should be fitted enough to sit on your hips, but lose enough that you can slip right out of them, even if the zippers and buttons are done- hence boyfriends love this style as much as the ladies. Tips in contouring your mid-section will be most helpful.

It is preferred to match the jean with more tailored clothing to offset the bagginess and still maintain an outline and shape. The duality of the mismatch offers much needed edge to complete the ultimate glam look.

A beautiful beach body is the best thing to have when the hot weather hits and bikinis come out. Unfortunately for new moms, getting their pre-baby body back into bikini shape can be an endeavor that may prove to be too hard to do on their own. Between stretch marks, “jelly” belly, loose skin and other similar issues, just regular diet and exercise might not be enough to make it all better. The good news is that with the help of the right doctor, moms can have a bikini-ready body they’ll love by June!

If you’re wondering what a full mommy makeover can do, check out some of the most common procedures involved in it!

• Tummy tucks allow you to get the taut, beautiful tummy you had pre-baby. Sick of the jelly belly effect? Tired of all that loose skin? A tummy tuck is the cure that you’re looking for. Tummy tucks focus on helping skin and muscle tone look (and feel) just as tight as your pre-baby body was. In some cases, tummy tucks can also remove the problem of “mommy bulges” that happen post-baby.
• Breast lifts and implants can help you get your pre-baby bra size and shape back. Perky breasts that look just like how your own used to, can be achieved through the right procedures. If you’re stuck with saggy, droopy, oversized breasts, feel reassured about the fact that you don’t have to worry about that for too long if you decide to get a mommy makeover.
• In rarer cases, mommy makeovers may include breast reduction. It’s true! Some women never have their breasts shrink after the breastfeeding stage. For some, it’s a blessing, but for others, it’s a curse. Large breasts may lead to ongoing back pain and other discomforts. Ladies who want to get their breasts reduced to their pre-baby size will love the results of a mommy makeover that includes a breast reduction.
• Liposuction will give you a slimmer figure. Baby weight is notoriously hard to get rid of. In most cases, women who just had their little one often find that fat sticks a little harder around the hip area and stomach region. A little liposuction can go a long way when it comes to getting the right slender figure and losing fat in trouble zones.

While not every mom needs a tummy tuck to get a beach ready body, most new moms will find that a mommy makeover will boost their self-esteem, help them feel like themselves again, and also make it easier to prep for summer’s wardrobe demands. The sooner you book a consultation, the sooner you can get that beautiful swimsuit body you’ve been hoping for!
