Mommy Makeover Surgery on Long Island
Motherhood is a journey, in both the emotional and physical senses. While children are often the source of immense joy, the activities of pregnancy and childbirth that precede those bouncing bundles tend to leave lasting marks on a woman’s body.
Beyond scars or stretch marks, many women long to return to their pre-pregnancy shapes, boost their confidence, and, in some cases, relieve physical pains and discomforts that result from being pregnant and giving birth. A Mommy Makeover is a customized set of cosmetic procedures designed to restore comfort and help you reclaim a sense of self. This comprehensive approach is more than just aesthetic—it’s about empowerment, self-care, and feeling comfortable in your skin.
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover combines different surgical procedures that typically focus on the breasts and abdomen, as these areas reflect the most dramatic changes during pregnancy. The most common procedures include:

More Than Cosmetic: Medical Benefits & Insurance Coverage
While Mommy Makeovers are typically elective cosmetic surgeries, in many cases, your surgeon can pair some procedures with medically necessary surgeries that may qualify for insurance coverage.
- Tummy Tuck & Umbilical Hernia Repair: Women who develop umbilical hernias due to pregnancy can pair a tummy tuck with a procedure for hernia repair, which may be covered by insurance.
- Breast Reduction & Lift: After childbirth, excessively large breasts can cause chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain. If a breast lift is combined with a medically necessary breast reduction, insurance may cover the reduction portion of the procedure.
Empowerment Through Transformation
The decision to undergo a Mommy Makeover is deeply personal. Some women pursue these procedures to regain confidence, while others want relief from the physical pain of pregnancy-related changes. The goal isn’t about conforming to anyone else’s beauty standards but your own – it’s about feeling strong, confident, and comfortable in your body. Many patients report improved posture, an easier time with physical activities, and an uplifted sense of self-esteem after their transformation.
