Mommy Makeover in Westchester, NY
Conveniently located to serve in Westchester, NY
Pregnancy brings lasting changes to the body; for many women, a mommy makeover is a way to highlight their shape in new ways. Dr. John F. Farella offers mommy makeover surgery in Westchester, NY, that combines body contouring techniques such as tummy tuck, breast lift, and liposuction into one comprehensive plan designed around your needs.
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
Many mothers see changes in their bodies’ appearance as a result of pregnancy and breastfeeding. These changes are due to weight gain, hormonal changes, breast and abdominal skin stretching due to breastfeeding, and the developing fetus. Multiple pregnancies, becoming pregnant at an older age, the amount of weight gain, and genetics all play a role in the appearance of the mother’s body.
A mommy makeover combines cosmetic surgical procedures to correct the breasts and the body’s contour. It addresses changes in the breasts by lifting, enlarging, or reducing them. In addition, the mommy makeover reshapes or contours the body through liposuction and a tummy tuck. Breast surgery and body contouring procedures can be done at the same time, restoring a woman’s pre-pregnant silhouette.
Mommy Makeover Candidates
A mommy makeover is best suited for women who would like to address physical changes that remain after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Good candidates are typically in good overall health, at or near their ideal weight, and have finished childbearing. It’s best to wait several months after breastfeeding before considering surgery, as this allows your body to stabilize.
What Happens During a Consultation
During your consultation, Dr. Farella will listen to your concerns, review your medical history, and perform an examination to understand your goals. He’ll then explain the options available, answer your questions, and outline a procedure plan so you can clearly understand your next steps.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Since a mommy makeover often involves multiple surgical procedures performed at the same time, the patient will be put under anesthesia, and the surgery will last up to six hours. If the combined surgeries are expected to exceed six hours, they will be separated into more than one surgical date. Dr. Farella will provide his recommendation to the patient after the consultation.
During surgery, Dr. Farella may perform a tummy tuck to remove excess abdominal skin and tighten underlying muscles, a breast lift or augmentation to restore shape and volume, and liposuction to target stubborn fat. Additional procedures can be added based on the patient’s goals, and all incisions are placed as discreetly as possible.
By combining these techniques in one surgical plan, patients benefit from a comprehensive approach with only one primary recovery period in most cases.
Recovering from a Mommy Makeover
The length of the recovery period can vary based on the number of procedures performed and how many are performed at once. There will likely be some swelling and bruising. Recovery will likely take several weeks. You will receive post-operative instructions to help you through the recovery process.
Light activities and walking are generally encouraged soon after surgery to support circulation, while lifting and strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks. Many patients can resume office work or daily routines within two weeks, though healing continues for several months as swelling gradually subsides and results become more defined.
Book follow-up visits with Dr. Farella to monitor your progress and guide you safely through recovery.
Benefits of a Mommy Makeover
A mommy makeover combines multiple procedures in one plan, offering convenience and customized results. Its benefits include the following:

- Reduces the number of anesthesia sessions and recovery periods
- Addresses stubborn fat, stretched abdominal tissue, and breast changes together for a more balanced outcome
- Provides long-lasting results that reflect your post-pregnancy surgery goals
- Allows a personalized approach with procedures explicitly chosen for your body
