Mommy Makeover

Being a mom does not have to take a toll on your appearance. Skilled cosmetic surgeons have designed new and improved ways for women to regain their youthful figures even after the birth of children. Mommy Makeovers have become the ideal way for women to handle the effects of pregnancy with proven results, and safe technique. If you have yet to hear the details of the Mommy Makeover treatment, we invite you to schedule your one on one consultation with Board Certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Edmund Kwan in one of our modern medical offices. An experienced cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Kwan provides moms of all ages with excellent ways to resolve problem areas. Within the area of cosmetic surgery, there are several procedures that can help Mom restore her desired figure.

Every woman is different, and will visit our office with her own unique set of concerns and needs. Dr. Kwan plans each Mommy Makeover around the patient. Tailoring treatment to your needs, your surgeon is able to produce the most satisfactory results that are uniquely you. Dr. Kwan prides himself on taking time with each patient to hear her concerns and answer any questions regarding problem areas or the recommended procedures themselves. This process is about the transformation of your body! We want you to feel fully confident about every aspect of care.

There are several procedures that may be included in a customized Mommy Makeover, performed in our New York City facility. Remember, treatment includes those procedures that will best meet your needs for better body contours.

Tummy tuck – with or without liposuction

The tummy tuck procedure is designed for the removal of excess skin. More than just a skin-removing procedure, however, the tummy tuck will also tighten abdominal muscles that have become loose throughout pregnancy. In most cases, tummy tuck can successfully remove or at least reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Your surgeon will discuss details of this procedure during your consultation.

Even on its own, a tummy tuck can dramatically transform the body. The addition of liposuction may be recommended when the abdomen holds excess fatty deposits beneath the skin. Often, the excess fat in the lower abdomen is difficult to get rid of with diet and exercise alone. Liposuction is a safe and effective procedure performed in our state of the art surgical facility, providing you with the slender shape you desire.

Liposuction for other areas of concern

The effects of pregnancy are not limited to the abdomen. Some women are able to achieve astonishing results with a Mommy Makeover that includes liposuction of the hips, love handles, thighs, buttocks, or other area where excess fat beneath the skin has become problematic.

Breast augmentation, reduction, or breast lift

Pregnancy and breastfeeding often cause the breasts to enlarge. The changes in tissue and hormones can cause the breasts to remain larger than is comfortable, or to become saggy. In a Mommy Makeover, the breasts can be lifted, resized, or reshaped to the most ideal proportions for your unique physical makeup.

Being a mom doesn't mean that you lose your best figure. With a Mommy Makeover, you can feel your best as you raise healthy, happy children.
