How do mommy makeover procedures work?
Mommy makeover patients in NYC have an enviable opportunity to build their own treatment plan. Dr. Smith is a highly experienced board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in a range of complex procedures.
Whether you want to tone your abdomen or get the breasts you’ve always dreamed of, mommy makeover surgery is all about YOU.
Breast augmentation
Pregnancy can result in lost breast volume, causing confidence and self-esteem issues. Breast augmentation procedures can increase cup size and treat uneven breasts. This treatment is tailored to your unique preferences.
Breast reduction procedures
If you retained a larger cup size after your pregnancy, breast surgery to reduce the overall volume is a powerful option. These procedures can prevent back pain and sagging and help you get more active.
Tummy tuck surgery
Tummy tucks can give you that elusive toned look by removing excess fat and skin as well as repairing rectus diastasis. Many people choose to have the procedure after giving birth, and it can restore your pre-pregnancy body shape.
Liposuction
Liposuction is one of the most effective ways to remove fat from the body. Dieting and exercising can help, but you might need a more intensive procedure to eliminate stubborn fat. Liposuction offers rapid, meaningful results.
Breast lift procedures
A breast lift procedure enhances the position and shape of your breasts, reducing sagging and other aesthetic concerns. You might think your 20s are over, but Dr. Smith’s breast lifts seem to defy the hands of time.
Nipple and areola reshaping
Some women notice their areola and nipple areas change after pregnancy. Common complaints are uneven shapes and protruding or inverted nipples. Nipple and areola procedures can reverse these changes.
Buttock augmentation
Buttock augmentations have skyrocketed in popularity, with many women seeking round and pert buttocks. Fat transfer, or “Brazillian buttock lift,” is the most popular way to achieve these results.
Genital rejuvenation
Whether you’re dealing with incontinence or general cosmetic concerns, a genital rejuvenation procedure (non-invasive and minimally invasive options are available) can help you rediscover your confidence and enjoy a more fulfilling intimate life.

Reclaim your pre-baby body with a customized mommy makeover. Dr. Smith addresses the physical toll of pregnancy and breastfeeding through procedures like breast lifts, breast augmentations, tummy tucks, and liposuction, restoring your confidence and body shape.
Unparalleled expertise in breast surgery
Pregnancy and breastfeeding alter breast size, shape, and position.

Whether you can have a singular treatment or require a combination of procedures, Dr. Smith will help you get the ideal breast shape and eliminate sagging.
Tailored abdominal contouring plans
Treatment for abdominal concerns varies based on severity. Mild issues may be addressed with non-invasive options like Emsculpt Neo. Moderate concerns often require liposuction and minimally invasive tightening techniques like VASER and BodyTite.
Severe cases necessitate liposuction and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). Dr. Smith will tailor a plan to your specific needs, selecting the best treatment for optimal results and minimal recovery time.

Skin tightening technologies that use energy instead of scalpels. Minimally invasive fat removal methods with stunning results. Non-invasive intimate wellness treatments that are performed while you are fully clothed.

Discover the transformative effects of mommy makeovers with Dr. Darren Smith
Example 1: Before and After Mommy Makeover
The woman shown below came to see us after pregnancy and breastfeeding with several issues that she wanted to address: breasts that had lost volume and “drooped,” excess loose abdominal skin and fat, and a rectus diastasis (separation of the abdominal muscles leading to the appearance of a bulge. She has especially significant skin laxity as she also lost 100 pounds. She desired a natural but refreshed appearance. She is shown before and a few months after a mommy makeover by Dr. Smith, including conservatively sized breast implants, a breast lift, and an abdominoplasty with liposuction to remove excess skin and fat and restore her core musculature to its pre-pregnancy state.
Example 2: Before and After Breast Lift
The woman shown below has moderate ptosis, or breast drooping. She was treated with a “lollipop” mastopexy, where the incision goes around the areola and down the front of the breast. She was happy with her breast volume, so no implant was used. This procedure took approximately 2.5 hours to complete under general anesthesia. Return to work after 5-7 days is a reasonable expectation for most patients.
Example 3: Before and After Mommy Makeover
This woman had loose skin and excess fat, as well as a rectus diastasis after pregnancy. She also wanted to add a small amount of volume to her breasts and achieve a more lifted appearance. She is shown before (left) and after (right) an abdominoplasty designed to repair her rectus diastasis, remove excess abdominal fat, and tighten the skin of the abdomen. She also had a breast lift with a low-volume breast implant. This procedure took approximately 4.5 hours to complete under general anesthesia. We advise most patients to plan on two weeks off of work to recover from abdominoplasty.
Example 4: Before and After Mommy Makeover
The woman shown below maintained good breast position after pregnancy and just wanted to regain some of the volume that she lost during the process. Dr. Smith performed a breast augmentation with silicone gel implants placed under the muscle to achieve a result that ensured a natural look and feel. The patient also wanted to recover the waist that she had prior to pregnancy, and Dr. Smith performed liposuction to restore the contour of her torso, seen here as more space between the patient’s elbow and body.
Example 5: Before & After Tummy Tuck
An abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, is often the centerpiece of a mommy makeover. Below, you can see before and after photos of a woman who underwent a tummy tuck with rectus diastasis repair.
Example 5: Waist Liposuction
Pregnancy can often lead to the widening of the waist. While this may be due to an actual expansion of the pelvic bones, fat redistribution to this area may be involved as well. Liposuction of the waist, or “love handles,” can have a profound effect on your silhouette, especially when combined with an abdominoplasty.

NYC Mommy Makeover FAQs
How long does mommy makeover recovery take?
After your mommy makeover surgery in NYC, you will be wearing compression and support garments appropriate for the specific procedures you had. In general, you should allow two weeks before returning to an office job, and approximately five to six weeks before returning to full activity levels. This will depend on the number and type of procedures you have.
While you will see a very nice change immediately after surgery, it will take a few months for the swelling of your breasts, abdomen, and any other operative sites to resolve to the point that your final results are achieved.
Since every mommy makeover is tailored specifically to the patient, Dr. Smith will ensure you have full and complete postoperative instructions, along with an exceptional level of post-operative care and attention.
What can I expect from the results?
A mommy makeover is designed to return your body as closely as possible to its pre-pregnancy appearance – or better. For example, if your breasts lost volume and sagged as a result of pregnancy and breastfeeding, they will be lifted and volumized; if your abdomen developed a bulge and became soft, it will once again be youthful, tight, and flat.
How much does mommy makeover surgery cost?
It’s hard to estimate an exact cost without knowing your unique needs. The mommy makeover comprises numerous surgical procedures. For example, you might have a tummy tuck and breast lift or opt for multiple treatments.
You’ll receive a quote during your initial consultation and can decide whether you’d like to proceed.
Will I have many scars after a mommy makeover?
The restoration of your pre-baby body will require incisions that leave scars, but they will be placed in the most discreet locations possible. Dr. Smith is highly skilled at expertly placing the smallest possible incisions in the least noticeable areas. You will be free to wear revealing clothing with no concerns about visible scars.
Will all the procedures be performed in one surgery?
Having multiple procedures in one surgical appointment can be a transformative experience. It offers a savings in time (one recovery for several operations) and cost (one set of anesthesia and operating room fees for several operations). Some patients will be better served by having two surgeries. Every case is unique, and Dr. Smith will work with you to develop a surgical plan most appropriate for your goals.
