What’s on your mommy-makeover wish list? Breast lift, breast reduction, or breast augmentation, or would you rather go in for a complete mommy-makeover routine comprising a whole set of restoration and rejuvenation procedures to help you reclaim the toned and youthful appeal of your pre-pregnancy body? This is the time when Mother Nature sheds Her old clothes and dons a new garb of colors. As the greens around you give way to oranges, yellows, and reds, why don’t you too go in for a new look? Make your mommy-makeover wish list come true.

Why Go in for a Mommy Makeover Now

Because you DESERVE it for being the super-mom that you are.

You have a nurtured a life within you for months. Child-bearing is stressful and your body went through a lot during this time. The stresses show up as sagging breasts, enlarged breasts, and/or loss of volume in one or both breasts after you have breastfed your child. Your breasts lose their youthful perkiness and even though you are right now basking in the glow of motherhood, you cannot help but feel a tad self-conscious about your appearance.

As a busy mum with a little one to take care of and possibly, one or more older kids to bring up as well, a career to focus on, and a household to maintain, you don’t have the time or the energy to work out. Besides, there are hardly any targeted exercise routine that can guarantee the results you desire.

A breast augmentation, breast lift, or breast reduction procedure guarantees enviable results within a short time. What is more, these procedures are usually performed on an outpatient basis, so you needn’t be away from your child for too long. The recovery periods are short and won’t hamper with your childcare routine.

You have to wear bandages for a few days after the surgery and then a compression bandage or a support bra for a few more weeks. With the cooler temperatures around, now is the ideal time to undergo these procedures because you will be comfortable wearing the bandages and the support garments. Besides, your jackets and woolies will conceal them too.

Which Mommy Makeover Procedure to Undergo

A breast augmentation procedure is ideal if you want to restore the lost volume in your breasts or improve their shape and size. Gummy Bear implants are the most popular choices for implants because they produce lasting and natural results and are extremely safe as well. Your surgeon will choose the shape and size of the implants based on the proportions and contours of your body, so that your boob job is not glaringly evident.

During pregnancy or after the baby arrives, would-be or new mommies are often dismayed to discover that their once-perky breasts are sagging. A breast lift procedure repositions the breasts higher up on the chest and improves the elasticity of the skin, so you get back the youthful look of your pre-baby days.

Weight gain is common during pregnancy, but it is hard to shed the pregnancy pounds afterwards. The breasts can remain enlarged even after pregnancy. Over-sized breasts not only lose shape and tend to sag but can be painful. Large breasts can trigger neck and back pain and can be especially inconvenient when you have to be active and juggle a baby, home, and job. Breast reduction surgery delivers you from the woes and the pain.

You can undergo breast augmentation, breast lift, and/or breast reduction as part of a comprehensive mommy-makeover procedure that restores your pre-pregnancy body and gives you the confidence to rock any clothes you wear.

Pregnancy and child birth are the most beautiful and emotionally fulfilling phases in a woman’s life. The stress and fatigue that are so common during these periods melt away when the baby arrives and lights up your life. Don’t let body image issues dent the joy of motherhood. Get back your pre-pregnancy body by fulfilling your mommy-makeover wish list today.

September is Mommy Makeover Month

Mommy Makeover with Breast Augmentation and Tummy Tuck

September is Back to School Month; why not also make it a Mommy Makeover Month? When the kids are back in school, you can use the time on your hands to go in for a tummy tuck surgery to get rid of the post-baby pouch that sticks out through your tees and dresses or a breast augmentation procedure to banish the post-baby droopy boobs. It is hard to imagine that pregnancy, the most beautiful phase in a woman’s life, can also ravage her body. Post-pregnancy paunches and sagging breasts take away from the beauty and attractiveness of the mommy and rob her confidence. You deserve the best mommy makeover as a reward for being the loving, caring, and hard-working mummy that you are.

What is Breast Augmentation?

The blossoming body of the mommy-to-be, unfortunately, gives way to smaller, misshapen, and drooping breasts post pregnancy. Breast augmentation helps mommies regain the firmer and youthful breasts of their pre-pregnancy days. After breast augmentation, women can expect more attractive bust-lines and increased confidence to rock in any dress they want to wear.

Breast augmentation recovery time is short. The bandages go off within a few days after the surgery, and you can expect to return to work soon afterwards. Breast augmentation scars too fade away over time. But if you are not convinced, take a look at some breast augmentation before-and-after photos.

What is a Tummy Tuck?

You have nurtured a life for nine months and your stomach is now showing the signs of the stress it has gone through during this time. Post-baby pouch, folds of fat in the abdominal region, loose muscles, and sagging skin are some complaints that a tummy tuck procedure can fix. During the procedure, excess and stubborn fat is removed, sagging muscles are realigned, and loose folds of skin are tightened.

Browse through some tummy tuck before-and-after photos. When performed by a skillful surgeon, tummy tuck results are impressive—a flatter stomach, stronger and more well-defined abdominal muscles, firmer skin, and barely-there tummy tuck scars.

This procedure is safe and tummy tuck recovery time is short. But if you want to know more, consult your plastic surgeon. He can answer common questions like what is the cost of tummy tuck, should you opt for tummy tuck after weight loss, and if pregnancy after tummy tuck is possible or desirable.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

Usually pregnancy brings on a multitude of body image issues that dieting and exercising cannot resolve on their own. Besides, busy mums cannot afford to go on restrictive diets that sap energy or spend hours working out. A mommy makeover surgery, which comprises breast augmentation and a tummy tuck procedure, corrects a host of problems all at once and gives them the chance to regain their pre-pregnancy youthful and toned figure without exerting too much. Mommy makeover recovery time is short and you can return to your active life within a few weeks.

Going in for a mommy makeover, New York women say, has let them enjoy the gift of motherhood without being ashamed of their bodies. By banishing unwanted fat and re-sculpting sagging muscles, mommies can get back their pre-baby figures without strain and hassles. Whether you go in for breast augmentation, tummy tuck surgery, or both make sure that you consult the best mommy makeover surgeon who can guarantee safe and impressive results that you would be proud to show off.

This September, it is time to be a new you!

Enhancing The Millennial Mom & Breastfeeding

Millennials have always been about chasing their dreams. They create startups, travel the world and Instagram it all in the process. Now, they’re starting families, and just like their other ventures, they’re crushing the game- ENTER MILLENNIAL MOMS.

Millennial moms are a new breed of women, who obviously do it all, but look just as fabulous as they are fearless when conquering the world.

However, new moms of the millennial need to understand the ups and downs literally of the breast-feeding game (and the potential havoc it can have on your body).

As seen on Elite Daily:

Here are some things to expect should you choose to breastfeed:

1. It shouldn’t hurt.

Many women complain that breastfeeding hurts. If so, they’re doing it wrong.

If you’re able to take a class, you should. You will learn which position works best and how to work in sync with your kid.

Also, get some lanolin. It really helps with chaffed and cracked nipples. (Yeah, that happens.)

2. Your boobs will look like something on National Geographic.

Yes, really. Something happens to your boobs. They get darker; the nipples get bigger, and you literally can’t even with your DDDs.

Some women love having the engorged va-va-voom to plump up their shirts. Other women with bigger breasts cheer with relief when they pump or breastfeed; they can actually see over their chests.

3. Breastfeeding is good for recovery.

In the days after delivery, you’ll find that pumping and/or breastfeeding does some crazy things to your bod. When you release milk, you will feel your uterus contract.

This may lead to some nasty sh*t in your granny panties, but whatever. The more your uterus contracts, the faster you’ll recover.

You’ll also feel a little less bloated and gassy. Hey, no one said child birth was sexy.

4. You get MILF-y fast.

The average mom will make about 24 to 28 ounces of breast milk a day. It takes about 500 calories to make that much milk.

Isn’t that so much easier than going to the gym? But, make sure you’re eating extra calories to make up for it, and don’t forget to stay hydrated.

5. Your body will be MILF-y, but your boobs might sag.

While breastfeeding and pumping is awesome for your body and baby, it might take a toll on your bra. Often, moms are left with sad, saggy boobs.

It’s okay. You grew and birthed a human.

6. It gives you girl power.

There’s something super powerful about breastfeeding. Whether it’s at home or strolling through Target, you get all Superwoman on everyone.

While anyone can give a baby a bottle, you are creating the momma juice.

7. It’s great for bonding.

During feeding time, it feels so intimate being with your baby. It’s a great excuse to tell visitors to leave, and it’s a great time to take a cat nap.

When your baby is feeding and locking eyes with you, something magical happens. Babies can sense if we are stressed, so take this time to get into a good mental space.

Try to relax, and let the good vibes in.

8. Your boobs might leak in public.

Okay, this one is seriously weird. When you’re out and about running errands, the sound of a baby crying might send your tits into Niagara Falls mode. It’s just bizarre.

It happened to me during the one hour I took for myself a few weeks postpartum.

Checking out at a store and realizing your shirt is wet is up there as one of the most embarrassing moments ever. Damn, kid.

9. Poops are less stinky.

Hooray for less stinky poops! I’ve heard from multiple people that breastfed babies have less stinky diapers. Formula-fed babies seem to have a little odor.

While neither will clear the room yet, it’s a nice little plus. Once you introduce foods, forget it; you’re screwed.

10. It has health benefits.

I’m not doctor, so I can’t speak to any of the medial benefits of breastfeeding. But, here are some benefits according to professionals.

Remember, not all moms are able to breastfeed, and that’s okay, too. If that happens to be you, don’t get discouraged; it’s not your fault.

To those of you joining the pump club, welcome. It’s weird, wacky and wonderful.

Many new millennial moms choose to undergo a breast augmentation procedure of some kind…

Whether the treatment is implants, a lift or a reduction, Dr. Steinbrech is the ultimate expert in restoring your pre-mommy body getting you feeling your best and most beautiful.

Breast Implants: The Basics 101 in NYC

The breast augmentation surgeons know that for many women, self-esteem is closely tied to their feelings about the size and shape of their breasts.

If a woman feels her breasts are too small or unshapely, this can have a strong, negative impact on how she feels about herself overall and a breast augmentation may be the best solution. Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to enhance the shape and size of the bust by means of an implant, gently inserted within the breast. Breast augmentation results in a full, naturally rounded looking breast shape.

www.womanita.com

Types of Implants

Saline breast implants are filled with sterile salt water. Should the implant shell leak, a saline implant will collapse and the saline will be absorbed and naturally expelled by the body.

Saline breast implants provide a uniform shape, firmness and feel, and are FDA-approved for augmentation in women age 18 or older.

Silicone breast implants are filled with silicone gel. The gel feels a bit more like natural breast tissue. If the implant leaks, the gel may remain within the implant shell, or may escape into the breast implant pocket. A leaking implant filled with silicone gel will not collapse.

If you choose silicone implants, you may need to visit your plastic surgeon regularly to make sure the implants are functioning properly. An ultrasound or MRI screening can assess the condition of breast implants.
Silicone breast implants are FDA-approved for augmentation in women age 22 or older.

Gummy bear breast implants are shaped rather than round. They have more projection at the bottom and are tapered towards the top. If a shaped implant rotates, it may lead to an unusual appearance of the breast.

Placement of gummy bear implants requires a longer incision in the skin.

Round breast implants have a tendency to make breasts appear fuller than form-stable implants. Higher profile options can achieve even more projection.

Because round implants are the same shape all over, there is less concern about them rotating out of place.

Smooth breast implants are the softest feeling. These implants can move with the breast implant pocket, which may give more natural movement.

Smooth implants may have some palpable or visible rippling.

Textured breast implants develop scar tissue to stick to the implant, making them less likely to move around inside the breast and get repositioned.

Texturing offers some advantage in diminishing the risk of a tight scar capsule.

Implant manufacturers occasionally introduce new styles and types of breast implants, so there may be additional options available.

Whether you choose saline or silicone implants, it is important for you to monitor your breast implants and follow-up with your plastic surgeon for appropriate checkups.

The Benefits of Breast Augmentation

If you feel that your breasts lack the size and shape you desire, breast augmentation may be for you. Whether you were born with it, or recently lost a significant amount of weight, small breasts can take a toll on a woman’s self-confidence. Breast augmentation can help you to boost your self-confidence. In fact, there are several benefits for women who have the breast augmentation experience, such as:

The ability to wear more clothes. Women who have small breasts are limited to clothing that flatters their small chest. With breast augmentation, you can wear the shirts, dresses, and bikinis you always wished you could pull off!

Enhanced curves. A nice figure is all about complementary contours. By getting breast augmentation, you can enhance your other curves as well. This can help to achieve a balanced appearance.

Anti-aging effects. With age, breasts tend to droop or sag. Breast augmentation can help to restore your youthfulness by making the breasts perkier.

Breast symmetry. It’s common for women to have unsymmetrical breasts. Breast augmentation can help to even out the size and symmetry of the breasts.

Improved intimacy. Women who have breast augmentation experience better intimacy. They feel more confident in their bodies, and in turn are more open to intimacy.

Types of Incisions

Inframammary Incision

Transaxillary Incision

Periareolar Incision

Inserting and Placing the Implant

The surgeon continues to perform the breast augmentation procedure by placing the implant either beneath the breast gland or, more commonly, under the pectoralis muscle, and then closes the incision.

Closing the Incisions

Incisions are closed with layered sutures in the breast tissue and with sutures, skin adhesive or surgical tape to close the skin. Over time the incision lines will fade.

*We offer both saline and silicone implants for breast augmentation, including the most advanced “form-stable” silicone implants.

What to Expect in Recovery

Breast pain in the first several days after surgery may be relieved with medication. Swelling and bruising for several weeks after the surgery is normal, but wearing the surgical bra 24 hours a day will assist to reduce the swelling during the healing process.
Following two to three weeks (depending on the procedure and the individual patient), you can resume your normal activities. Strenuous exercise or heavy lifting, however, should be avoided for three to four weeks or more. In the meantime, seek out the optimal sports bra for your activity and breast size.

Breast Lift After Baby

Throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding, a woman’s body is not her own. She shares it with her baby—and for good reason! Mothers in NYC are miraculously able to nourish their babies for nine months and may continue to do so as they breastfeed their growing babies.

But once you’re done with pregnancy and breastfeeding, you may be surprised that your body refuses to return to normal. Unfortunately, the majority of mothers are frustrated and disappointed with their post-baby breasts. Your once over-filled breasts might be sagging, uneven, or lacking fullness.

Dr. Steinbrech created a special grouping of cosmetic surgery procedures called the “Mommy Makeover” in order to renew mothers’ confidence and restore their youthful appearance. Post-baby breast lifts are a popular option as part of the Mommy Makeover for women in NYC. Would a post-baby breast lift help you feel more like yourself again?

For most women, the answer is a resounding “yes!” After a breast lift, your breasts will once again have a high, firm appearance. A breast lift is also able to correct downward-pointing nipples and oversized areolas. The results will be stunning for you and your partner!

Breast lift surgery is pretty straightforward. It’s an outpatient procedure that lasts between 1.5 to 3.5 hours, depending on your individual circumstances. You will recovery in the post-op room for awhile before going home. The bandages come off after just a few days and you will be able to return to work within one or two weeks. Your breasts will settle into place as you recover and the permanent results will be visible after a few short months.

Pregnancy is a wonderful thing, but once you’re doing having children, you should do something special for yourself. If you’d like to restore your youthful breasts, call Dr. Steinbrech for a consultation today at (212) 750-7100!
