Mommy Makeover Surgery
Manhattan

Breast augmentation is a common procedure used to enhance breast volume and shape. Using either saline or silicone implants, the surgery can restore lost breast volume, correct asymmetry, and improve overall breast contour. The mommy makeover surgery in Manhattan involves placing the implants either under the chest muscle or behind the breast tissue, resulting in fuller and more proportionate breasts. Dr. Z can help you choose the right implants and achieve the desired results for a more youthful and balanced appearance.

A breast lift is a common procedure to address sagging or drooping breasts caused by pregnancy and breastfeeding. This surgery lifts and reshapes the breasts by removing excess skin, tightening the surrounding tissue, and repositioning the nipples to a more youthful position. By restoring a firmer and perkier breast appearance, a breast lift can help mothers regain confidence in their overall body contour. Dr. Z can customize the procedure to achieve natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing results.

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a commonly included procedure to address stretched abdominal muscles and excess skin caused by pregnancy. This surgery removes the loose skin and tightens the abdominal muscles, resulting in a flatter and firmer midsection. By eliminating stubborn fat deposits and creating a more contoured waistline, a tummy tuck can help restore a pre-pregnancy appearance. Dr. Z specializes in performing tummy tucks with precision and artistry, ensuring optimal results for each patient.

Liposuction is a commonly performed procedure during a Manhattan mommy makeover, targeting stubborn pockets of fat resistant to diet and exercise. With power-assisted liposuction and 360 liposuction techniques, our skilled surgeons can remove excess fat from various areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, and arms. This results in improved body contours and a more sculpted appearance. Our board-certified plastic surgeon specializes in performing liposuction with precision and artistry to help you achieve your desired aesthetic goals.

Recovery after a mommy makeover is a vital part of your transformation and plays a key role in achieving optimal results. Because this procedure often combines multiple surgeries, such as a tummy tuck, breast enhancement, and liposuction, your body needs time and proper care to heal effectively. Under the close supervision of Dr. Zetrenne, your recovery plan will be personalized to ensure optimal comfort and a smooth healing process.

In the first days, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild to moderate discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. You’ll be advised to wear compression garments to reduce swelling and support the contoured areas. While light walking is encouraged to promote circulation, it’s important to avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for several weeks. Dr. Zetrenne and her team will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress, remove sutures if needed, and guide you through each stage of recovery.

Most patients can gradually return to their daily routines within two to three weeks, although complete recovery may take several months as the body continues to heal. During this period, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, balanced nutrition, and hydration can support your body’s natural healing. As swelling subsides and your contours settle, you’ll notice your new, rejuvenated figure taking shape: firmer, smoother, and more in line with your pre-pregnancy silhouette.

To make your recovery as smooth as possible, be sure to follow these aftercare guidelines:

• Follow all post-operative instructions provided by Dr. Zetrenne and her team
• Wear your compression garments consistently to minimize swelling and support healing
• Take prescribed medications as directed to manage discomfort and prevent infection
• Avoid heavy lifting, bending, or strenuous activities until cleared by Dr. Zetrenne
• Sleep on your back with your upper body slightly elevated to reduce strain
• Keep your incisions clean and dry to promote proper healing
• Attend all scheduled follow-ups for progress monitoring
• Stay hydrated and eat balanced, nutrient-rich meals to support tissue repair
• Refrain from smoking or consuming alcohol, as these can slow the healing process

By giving yourself time to rest and heal properly, you’ll not only enjoy long-lasting results but also rediscover renewed confidence and vitality in your body.
