Pregnancy changes everything: your routine, your priorities, and your sense of self. It can also change your body in ways that don’t quite bounce back after childbirth, no matter how healthy or active you are. Maybe your stomach feels looser than it used to. Maybe your breasts feel different – less full, less lifted. Maybe you just don’t quite feel like you in your own skin.

That’s where a Mommy Makeover can come in. At Kashan, in Long Island, we don’t see this procedure as a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s a deeply personal process that’s about helping you feel strong, comfortable, and confident again. Not turning back the clock, but reconnecting with the body that’s carried you through the journey of pregnancy and childbirth. Helping you to feel like your best self.

So what actually goes into a Mommy Makeover? Let’s walk through it.

A Custom Mommy Makeover in Long Island
A Mommy Makeover typically includes a tummy tuck, breast surgery, and liposuction, but the exact combination of procedures depends entirely on your goals and your body. For some women, that means a breast lift and abdominal tightening. For others, it might include more advanced work on the flanks, hips, or muscle structure. Dr. Kashan takes a tailored approach, creating a surgical plan that helps you restore function and shape while achieving a natural, elegant result that feels right for you.

1. Abdominal Restoration (Tummy Tuck)
Pregnancy often leaves a visible impact on the abdominal wall. The skin stretches, muscles separate (a condition called diastasis recti), and no matter how many planks or crunches you do, that pre-pregnancy firmness and strength might not come back on its own.

That’s where a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, can make a real difference. Dr. Kashan carefully removes the extra skin, brings the abdominal muscles back together, and reshapes the waist to restore a smoother, stronger core. For many women, especially moms juggling kids, work, and a million other things at once, regaining that core strength means better posture, less back pain, and a body that feels more capable day to day. That kind of comfort adds up.

Depending on your needs, you may want a full or modified (mini) tummy tuck. At Kashan, we guide you through every option and help you understand what’s most appropriate for your body and lifestyle.

2. Breast Surgery
Breast tissue is particularly sensitive to hormonal and weight fluctuations, and many women experience volume loss, sagging, or asymmetry after breastfeeding. Your personalized mommy makeover plan in Long Island may involve:

• A Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Raises and reshapes sagging breasts, sometimes combined with volume restoration.
• A Breast Augmentation: Adds fullness using implants or, in select cases, fat transfer.
• A Breast Reduction: Removes excess volume and repositions the breast for better proportion and comfort.

At Kashan, breast procedures are designed around balance, proportion, and longevity, preserving natural movement and harmony with the rest of your body.

3. Liposuction
While not always necessary, liposuction is often used to refine the silhouette, particularly in areas where stubborn fat lingers, such as the lower abdomen, flanks, thighs, or upper arms.

This technique allows for subtle but powerful contouring, restoring your natural silhouette and making sure your clothes fit more comfortably. Dr. Kashan prioritizes safety and precision, using techniques that preserve smoothness and skin quality.

Additional Considerations
Mommy makeovers can also be adapted to include other procedures depending on your needs and goals. This may include:

• Arm lift or thigh lift, for those with significant skin laxity after weight fluctuations
• Fat transfer, to soften transitions or restore volume naturally

Again, not every woman needs or wants every component. At our Long Island practice, we work with you to define exactly what “restoration” means for you, and that definition is always personal.

Timing and Recovery
We recommend waiting until you’re done having children before considering a mommy makeover. Not because it’s unsafe to have children afterward, but because future pregnancies can undo the surgical results.

Recovery typically takes 2 to 3 weeks before returning to desk work or non-strenuous activities. You’ll need some help at home, especially in the first week, and light movement (like walking) is encouraged early on to support circulation and healing.

Most patients begin seeing results after the first month, with continued improvement over the next 3 to 6 months. At Kashan, we’ll schedule check-ins to monitor progress, answer questions, and guide your aftercare, ensuring your recovery is as smooth and supported as possible.

Is It Right for You?
The truth is, a mommy makeover isn’t just about returning to your “pre-baby body.” It’s about moving forward with confidence, feeling empowered, and like yourself again, after going through the journey of pregnancy.

Dr. Kashan often meets women who are hesitant to take this step because they feel guilty prioritizing themselves. But your health, confidence, and comfort matter, and when those are in place, everything else in life feels more manageable.

We welcome women of all ages and backgrounds, and we’re here to answer questions without pressure. Whether you’re actively planning or just curious, a consultation is a chance to learn more, on your terms.

Final Thoughts
A Mommy Makeover in Long Island with Dr. Kashan typically includes:

• A tummy tuck to address muscle separation and loose skin
• Breast surgery to lift, restore, or reshape
• Liposuction for targeted contouring
• Additional procedures as needed to support your goals

No two women’s journeys are the same, and at Kashan, we honor that. Our focus is on restoring physical strength and inner confidence, with techniques rooted in experience, expertise, and natural artistry.

If you’re ready to feel at home in your body again, we’re here when you are.
