Mommy Makeover in Long Island, NY
Restore Your Body After Pregnancy With a Mommy Makeover by Dr. John Layliev
If you have been struggling to restore the appearance of your body following your pregnancy, a mommy makeover may be the solution you have been looking for. A mommy makeover is a combination of surgical procedures on the breast and body specifically chosen to address the changes to your physical appearance caused by pregnancy and childbirth.
At Layliev Plastic Surgery, we have provided numerous women with amazing results from their mommy makeovers on Long Island.
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
The Mommy Makeover is a combination of an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) as well as a breast augmentation or lift. Following multiple pregnancies, your breasts can become deflated and droopy, and your abdominal wall can lose its youthful contour because of the resulting weakness and separation between your abdominal muscles and the resulting loose and flabby skin. The Mommy Makeover combination is designed to treat both the abdomen and the breasts in one operation, dramatically transforming your overall body contour.
Benefits of a Mommy Makeover
Pregnancy and childbirth can leave changes that do not fully resolve with weight loss or exercise alone. A mommy makeover combines procedures to address these changes in the breasts and abdomen during the same surgical plan.
Depending on the procedures selected, a mommy makeover may help:
- Restore breast shape and position: A breast lift can address breast tissue that has become stretched or droopy after pregnancy, while breast augmentation can restore or increase breast volume.
- Address loose abdominal skin: A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fatty tissue that may remain after pregnancy.
- Improve abdominal contour: Tightening the abdominal muscles during a full tummy tuck can address muscle separation and contribute to a more defined waistline.
- Address multiple areas in one surgical plan: Combining breast and abdominal procedures allows both areas to be addressed as part of a coordinated body contouring approach.
- Restore proportions between the breasts and abdomen: Treating both areas can create a more balanced overall body contour following pregnancy and weight changes.
Mommy Makeover After GLP-1 Weight Loss
Pregnancy is not the only major body change that can affect the breasts, abdomen, and overall body contour. Patients who have lost significant weight with GLP-1 medications, such as semaglutide or tirzepatide, may experience some of the same concerns commonly addressed with a Mommy Makeover. These include loose abdominal skin, loss of breast volume, breast sagging, and changes in body proportions.
For women who have experienced both pregnancy and significant weight loss, Dr. Layliev can customize surgery based on the areas that have changed rather than following a one-size-fits-all combination of procedures.
Depending on your anatomy and goals, treatment may include:
- Tummy tuck to remove loose abdominal skin and improve abdominal contour.
- Breast lift to reshape and reposition breasts affected by pregnancy or weight loss.
- Breast augmentation to restore breast volume when appropriate.
- Liposuction to address localized areas of excess fat and refine body contours.
- Additional body contouring procedures when significant weight loss has resulted in loose or redundant skin beyond the abdomen.
Patients whose primary concerns developed after substantial GLP-1-assisted weight loss can learn more about Dr. Layliev’s approach to body contouring after GLP-1 weight loss.
Is a Mommy Makeover Right for Me?
During your initial consultation for your mommy makeover in Long Island, Dr. Layliev will determine whether you are an appropriate candidate for the Mommy Makeover surgery and will help you understand the benefits of surgery. He may perform a physical exam, evaluate your current health, and go over your relevant medical history to help determine if you are a good candidate for a mommy makeover.

What To Expect During Your Mommy Makeover
During an abdominoplasty, Dr. Layliev removes excess skin and fatty tissue from your abdomen and repositions your belly button. The abdominal rectus muscles are typically tightened to restore a more slender waistline. The scar is designed to be hidden in your undergarment.
In select patients with excess tissue only under the belly button, a mini-tummy tuck can be done. This involves the removal of excess skin and fatty tissue in your lower abdomen without the need to tighten your abdominal muscles or reposition your belly button. The recovery time for this operation is much less than with a standard tummy tuck procedure.
A breast lift, or mastopexy, surgically lifts and reshapes a droopy breast to a firmer, youthful, and shapely contour to counteract the changes that occur with age, pregnancy, or weight loss. This involves skin excision, breast tissue recontouring, and nipple repositioning. Dr. Layliev may recommend breast augmentation with an implant along with breast lifting to enhance the final result.
Depending on your breast tissue and skin laxity, incisions can be limited to around the nipple, a vertical incision from the nipple to the breast crease, or an inverted T-shaped incision that includes the breast crease.
Mommy Makeover Recovery
Recovery after a mommy makeover depends on the procedures included in your surgical plan. Because a mommy makeover combines breast and abdominal surgery, you should expect a period of limited activity while your body heals.
Swelling, bruising, tightness, and temporary discomfort are common early in recovery. Dr. Layliev will provide specific instructions for caring for your incisions, managing activity, and progressing through recovery. Avoid strenuous exercise and other activities that stress the treated areas until you are cleared to resume them.
Your recovery timeline will depend on whether you undergo a full tummy tuck, mini tummy tuck, breast lift, breast augmentation, or a combination of these procedures. Dr. Layliev can explain what to expect based on the specific procedures included in your mommy makeover.
How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost in Long Island?
The cost of a mommy makeover in Long Island will vary based on the type of procedures performed and the number of procedures included in the mommy makeover. During your consultation, Dr. Layliev can discuss the potential cost of your mommy makeover and go over the payment options available to you.

“Wonderful Experience”
Prior to my consultation I wasn’t sure which procedure would be right for me. I needed the expertise of Dr. Layliev to suggest the best course. He explained the best procedure for my body type and why, in his professional opinion, he recommended them.
He conducted a detailed consultation while asking plenty of questions about my goals and medical history, all while addressing questions and concerns. The assistance and information he provided helped me come to a comfortable decision on choosing to have surgery with Romanelli Assoc. and Dr Layliev.
All offices visits were professional and well managed by he and his staff. Everyone has a role to play, each conducting themselves in ways that enhanced my overall experience. I had no unanswered questions on the day of surgery. Even tho I had misplaced my presurgical packet, his office quickly responded providing everything I needed the day before surgery.
Dr Layliev is very detailed which was evident during each visit. He lets nothing slide. When the slightest changes were made to the plan for my procedure he had his staff update everything in my chart on the spot. Everything was explained giving me the option to ask questions or decline. Some of the things that changed for me during planning concerned adding lipo to certain areas. These recommendations were made by Dr Layliev during the course of his examinations. It was also made clear WHY he recommended something, which was always to provide a better result for the overall procedure. Although small adjustments were made, there was never a pitch to increase costs, which was reasonable for the services he and his office provided. Once the cost was quoted it never fluctuated during pre-surgical visits.
The day of the surgery was thorough, seamless and comforting for me and my family. I met everyone who would be in the operating room prior to the procedure. Due to the procedure I had I stayed one night in their in office facility which was clean and comfortable, fit for my recovery. The overnight staff were knowledgeable and effective.
I had several post surgical visits within days of surgery. Dr. Layliev did a TREMENDOUS job at bringing my vision to pass! I am only two weeks from surgery but the results were immediate. Each visit he takes GREAT pride in his work and in ensuring my recovery is on track.
I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Layliev for anyone considering having plastic surgery. I’ve already had one of several friends go for a consultation.
