Mommy Makeover in Mineola, NY: Achieve the Refreshed, Confident Body You Deserve

Your body has accomplished something extraordinary by creating new life. Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can bring changes to your breasts, abdomen, and overall body contours that don’t always reflect how vibrant you feel. If you want to address these changes and feel more comfortable in your body again, a Mommy Makeover offers a personalized solution.

A Mommy Makeover combines procedures tailored to your unique needs—whether that’s breast rejuvenation, abdominal contouring, body sculpting, or a combination of treatments. By addressing multiple areas in one comprehensive approach, our all-female surgical team at Island Plastic Surgery helps you achieve renewed confidence with results that look refined, balanced, and authentically you.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a customizable combination of surgical procedures designed to address physical changes after pregnancy. Rather than separate surgeries over time, you address multiple areas in one coordinated plan with one recovery period.
Common procedures include:
  • Breast lift, augmentation, or reduction – Restore volume, lift, and shape.
  • Tummy tuck – Remove excess abdominal skin and tighten muscles.
  • Liposuction – Refine contours in the abdomen, love handles, bra area, and thighs.
  • Labiaplasty – Address external labia concerns for improved comfort.
Your surgeon will create a surgical plan tailored specifically to you because no two mothers, and no two Mommy Makeovers, are exactly alike.

Mommy Makeover Benefits

Women who choose a Mommy Makeover at Island Plastic Surgery achieve transformative results, including:
  • Restored Breast Shape – Achieve lifted, fuller, or more balanced breasts.
  • Smoother Abdominal Profile – Remove excess skin and tighten muscles.
  • Refined Body Contours – Sculpt areas that don't respond to diet and exercise.
  • Improved Confidence – Feel comfortable and at home in your body again.
  • Comprehensive Results – Address multiple concerns in one surgical experience.
  • Long-Lasting Transformation – Enjoy results that can last for years.
  • Personalized Approach – Receive a treatment plan designed for your goals.

A Mommy Makeover offers more than physical transformation—it’s about reclaiming how you feel in your body and moving through life with renewed confidence.

*Results May Vary

Breast Rejuvenation Options

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can affect breast volume, shape, and position. Your Mommy Makeover may include:
  • Breast Lift – Addresses changes in position by removing excess skin and repositioning tissue and nipples for a more lifted contour
  • Breast Augmentation – Uses implants to achieve your desired breast size and fullness
  • Breast Reduction – Removes excess tissue to create smaller, lighter, more proportionate breasts while lifting and reshaping
Many women combine procedures to achieve their ideal breast shape. Your surgeon will recommend the best approach during your consultation.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Pregnancy stretches abdominal muscles and skin—changes that don’t always reverse naturally. A tummy tuck removes excess skin, tightens separated muscles (diastasis recti), and creates a smoother, firmer profile.
  • Full Tummy Tuck – Addresses the entire abdomen and is most common for comprehensive rejuvenation
  • Mini Tummy Tuck – Focuses on the lower abdomen with a shorter incision
Your surgeon will recommend the approach that best addresses your anatomy and goals.

C-Section Scar Removal

A visible C-section scar can affect the contour of the lower abdomen. During a Mommy Makeover, your surgeon can remove or revise the scar as part of a tummy tuck and smooth the lower abdominal profile. The new incision is carefully placed so it is easily concealed under clothing, improving both appearance and comfort.

Liposuction

Liposuction refines body contours by removing excess fat from areas that don’t respond to diet and exercise, including the abdomen, waistline, love handles, bra area, and inner and outer thighs. Your surgeon will discuss the best approach for contouring during your consultation.

Buttocks Contouring

Pregnancy and weight changes can affect the shape and firmness of the buttocks, sometimes leaving the area flatter or less defined. Buttocks contouring can be included in a Mommy Makeover to enhance overall body balance by sculpting the surrounding areas with liposuction and, in some cases, transferring purified fat to create fuller, more lifted contours. This approach helps restore smooth transitions between the waist, hips, and buttocks for a more proportionate silhouette.

Labiaplasty

Some women notice changes to the external labia after childbirth. When the inner lips (labia minora) extend beyond the outer lips (labia majora), this can cause discomfort during physical activity, intimacy, or when wearing certain clothing. Labiaplasty gently reduces and reshapes these inner lips for improved comfort and appearance. This procedure addresses only the external labia, not internal areas.

What to Expect During Your Mommy Makeover

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where you’ll discuss your concerns, goals, and medical history. Your surgeon will create a personalized surgical plan designed specifically for you.
Your surgeon will review your plan, mark treatment areas, and you’ll be placed under general anesthesia. Surgery typically takes four to six hours, depending on which procedures are included.
Most patients stay overnight in our accredited facility. You’ll have drains placed temporarily and wear compression garments. Pain medication will be provided for comfort.

Recovery & Aftercare

First Two Weeks

Rest and avoid strenuous activities. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are normal. Drains are typically removed within one to two weeks. Most patients return to light work within two weeks.

Weeks 3-6

Swelling continues to subside as you gradually increase activity. Avoid heavy lifting and intense exercise. Most patients resume normal daily activities during this period.

Long-Term

Most patients return to full activities, including exercise, after six to eight weeks. Scars typically fade significantly over time. Your surgeon will provide detailed instructions and monitor your healing.

Mommy Makeover Results

Once swelling subsides and your body heals, you’ll notice:
  • Lifted, more youthful breast contours
  • A smoother, firmer abdominal profile
  • More refined overall body contours
  • Improved fit and comfort in clothing
  • Renewed confidence in your appearance

Scars are strategically placed and fade significantly over time, easily concealed by clothing and swimwear. With proper weight maintenance, results can last for many years, providing enduring confidence.

Who is a Good Candidate?

You may be a good candidate if you:
  • Have finished having children (pregnancy can affect results)
  • Have reached a stable weight you can maintain
  • Are in good overall health with realistic expectations
  • Are a non-smoker or willing to quit before and after surgery
  • Want to address multiple areas in one surgical experience
The best candidates are at or near their ideal weight but have concerns that diet and exercise alone cannot address. Your surgeon will evaluate your health and determine if a Mommy Makeover is right for you.
