Mommy Makeover
Conveniently located to serve the areas of New York, NY
A mommy makeover is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to restore and enhance a woman’s body after pregnancy.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause many unwanted changes, including sagging breasts, loose skin, separated abdominal muscles, unwanted hair growth, and changes in skin tone and texture.

If you are experiencing any of these issues, you could benefit greatly from a mommy makeover!

Various surgical procedures can be included in a mommy makeover, and all are specifically tailored to the needs of each individual.
Surgical Treatments Commonly Included in a Mommy Makeover
A mommy makeover addresses multiple areas of concern by performing multiple procedures in one session. Some of the procedures commonly performed include:
- Tummy Tuck: Removes excess skin and tightens lax muscles in the abdomen
- Breast Lift: Corrects sagging breasts by reshaping and powerfully lifting the breasts to a more youthful position
- Breast Augmentation: Replaces lost volume in breasts with implants or transferred fat
- Breast Reduction: Aims to address the chronic pain associated with overly large breasts by reducing breast volume
- Facelift: Addresses signs of facial aging by removing excess skin, lifting the underlying tissues and fascia, and redraping the remaining tissues for a more youthful contour
- Neck Lift: Restores a youthful contour in the neck region by addressing concerns such as loose skin, excess fatty deposits, and muscle banding
- Fat Transfer: Harvests one’s own excess fat and reinjects it into key areas for youthful volume. It can be used to enhance the face, buttocks, hands, and more
- Arm Lift: Removes unwanted loose skin and pockets of fat, resulting in a more sculpted arm contour
- Liposuction: Removes excess localized fat in targeted areas of the body to sculpt it
- BodyTite™: Dr. Elie Levine’s preferred body contouring procedure—removes excess skin and fat by utilizing radiofrequency (RF) energy
