Mommy Makeover Plastic SurgeryMommy Makeover Procedure Can Restore Women’s Bodies in Latham, New York

A woman’s breasts change size and shape throughout a pregnancy and after due to fluctuating hormones and milk production.

Eventually, breasts can appear smaller and deflated, or one may be noticeably larger than the other.

Breast augmentation as part of a mommy makeover adds volume to the breasts to make them more prominent and can bring them into proportion with each other and the rest of the body.

At the Plastic Surgery Center at Williams, patients have a range of implant options available to enhance their breasts. By choosing from silicone, saline, or fat deposits from the patient’s body, patients can select the size, shape, and consistency they want in their breasts.

Sagging, stretched-out skin can cause breasts to point downward on the chest. Pregnancy is one of the most common reasons for breast sagging.

As women experience the hormones of pregnancy, the breast tissue swells, and the glands begin to fill up with breast milk. This fluid intake causes breasts to become heavier and sag.

After childbirth, patients’ breasts may go back to normal, but some women still experience the heaviness and sagging that they did during pregnancy.

A breast lift makes drooping breasts perkier by removing excess tissue and creating a tighter look. A lift as part of a mommy makeover may also involve reducing the size of the areolas.

Depending on your BMI, most women gain a recommended amount of 20 to 30 pounds during pregnancy.

Weight gain is a reality for most pregnant women, but many also find that not all fat goes away after the baby arrives.

Extra fat can linger in problem areas such as the stomach, love handles, or even the face. Diet and exercise can lead to weight loss in these areas, but unfortunately, it can be difficult to lose weight in a specific area.

Liposuction reduces the net number of fat cells, making it more difficult to gain weight in treated areas and making it appear as if patients have lost a significant amount of weight.

Improving body contours, liposuction is a surgical solution included in a mommy makeover to loosen fat cells so they can be removed with small tubes (or cannulas) connected to a vacuum aspiration device.

When a baby grows, the rapid gains in size create many physical changes in a woman’s body.

As the baby gets larger throughout pregnancy, this growth can stretch out the mother’s internal abdominal tissues that otherwise hold everything in place. Skin on the belly also stretches out as the “bump” increases.

Once the baby is born, the skin and other tissues may not go back to the way they were before, leaving the stomach loose and sagging.

During a mommy makeover, a tummy tuck tightens the abdomen by joining separated abdominal tissue back together and removing excess skin for a flatter belly.

Performed by breast and body plastic surgeon Dr. Alfredo Lloreda, a tummy tuck during a mommy makeover can tighten and tone skin and muscle, remove excess skin and fat, and achieve the sculpted physique of a patient’s pre-baby body.

Loose skin can be a problem on the body after pregnancy due to drastic weight fluctuations, which is why a range of lifting procedures is available during a mommy makeover.

Patients can choose a buttocks lift, thigh lift, and other body contouring options as needed.

A mommy makeover is fully customized to each patient’s needs and desired surgical goals, whether they want to remove stubborn stomach fat, lift sagging breasts, or a combination of all.
