Mommy Makeover in Melville, NY | James N. Romanelli, MD, FACS

What is a Mommy Makeover?

Long Island plastic surgeons Drs. James Romanelli, John Layliev, and Yee Cheng Low meet with women regularly who want to restore their body's pre-pregnancy shape. While childbirth is a miraculous time, it can significantly alter the body's appearance. A mommy makeover offers a comprehensive solution to reshape both the upper and lower body areas impacted by pregnancy and nursing.

Customized Surgical Approach

A mommy makeover is a personalized combination of fat removal and skin tightening procedures designed to address specific post-pregnancy body changes. The treatment targets areas most affected by childbirth, helping women regain confidence in their physical appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Mommy Makeover

Ideal candidates are individuals who have completed childbearing and have attempted to achieve a toned appearance through diet and exercise with limited success. Potential patients may experience concerns such as:

• Deflated or sagging breasts
• Wrinkled abdominal skin

A typical Mommy Makeover may include the following surgical techniques:

• Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
