By now you’ve heard of the revolutionary Ultherapy™ System that utilizes ultrasound technology to lift and tighten loose skin around the face and neck. Recently, the FDA approved the system for use on another common problem area: the upper chest. Also known as the décolletage, this area of the body is exposed to many of the same aging elements as the face, including the sun. A recent New York Times article details the Ultherapy™ process as a potential alternative to a surgical procedure.

Dr. Koumanis performs our Ultherapy™ treatments here at our Joint Commission Accredited Facility in Saratoga Springs, NY. To learn more about Ultherapy™ and other minimally invasive options, please contact us today.

Sculptra^® Aesthetic is a collagen stimulator that gradually over the course of several months restores facial volume lost in aging. Natural youthful appearance results from Sculptra^® stimulating your own collagen production, the “building block” of skin. Sculptra^® fills deep folds, minimizes shallow and deep face wrinkles, smoothes skin, replenishes lost volume and restores a youthful three-dimensional “V” shape to your face. Optimum results may take 2 to 4 treatment sessions and peak a few months after the last treatment. The results can last over 2 years!

To schedule a consultation for Sculptra^® or any of the other fillers and injectables we offer at Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery, please contact our office.

Dr. Steven Yarinsky helps his patients understand what to expect during the mommy makeover procedure by educating them on each step of the process.

Saratoga Springs, NY – Dr. Steven Yarinsky, a plastic surgeon in Saratoga Springs, performs mommy makeover surgery to help mothers regain their confidence and regain their youthful beauty. He explains how the combination of enhancement and contouring procedures can help women restore their pre-baby body, addressing “problem areas,” like lost breast volume and excess abdomen tissue that often result from pregnancy. From the consultation to the recovery, Dr. Yarinsky strives to thoroughly educate his patients so they know what to expect.

Mommy makeover patients of Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery range from recent mothers to those who have had children years ago. Dr. Yarinsky recommends his patients wait to undergo the procedure until they have reached their stable, long-term body weight following the pregnancy. He also notes that it is important for women to wait until they are done having children, as additional pregnancies after a mommy makeover can affect the procedure’s outcome. In his blog post, “What to Expect in Your Mommy Makeover Consultation,” Dr. Yarinsky explains that during the first appointment, he will determine if a patient is a good candidate for the surgery, and if so, what procedures can help them achieve their ideal outcome.

During the mommy makeover surgery, Dr. Yarinsky reduces fullness in the abdomen with liposuction, a tummy tuck, or a combination of the two. To address lost breast volume, he often performs breast augmentation to lift and enhance the breasts. Dr. Yarinsky says the surgeries involved in a mommy makeover ultimately depend on the unique needs of the patient and what can help them reach their goals. Based on the combination of procedures, he says this can also affect what the mommy makeover recovery entails.

In the words of Dr. Yarinsky: “Women sacrifice a lot with pregnancy and child-rearing. Mommy makeover is an opportunity to turn back the clock and help a woman feel more comfortable in her body and with herself. My staff and I love helping women through mommy makeovers because we see how it helps to restore their self-esteem. They feel great about themselves, and this feeling radiates outward to positively affect their personal relationships and lives.”

In the first installment of our mommy makeover blog series, we discussed what to expect in your mommy makeover consultation. For this second post, we address a common concern of his patients: the mommy makeover recovery.

One of the biggest concerns I see among my mommy makeover patients is how long it takes to recover. Since being a mother is a full-time job in itself, there is not much room for downtime, like what is required following a surgical procedure. This is why I talk at length with patients about what they can expect following their mommy makeover. While it can take some time to feel 100% like yourself again, I believe educating patients can help them fully prepare for the necessary recovery time. Making sure you have someone to help out and knowing how long you need them around, for example, is crucial in properly recovering, as it prevents you from pushing yourself too hard, too soon. My staff and I are happy to meet with your caregiver and directly educate them about what they can do to help you to get the best possible result.

In regards to the immediate recovery that spans the first few weeks, daily dressing changes are needed and you should avoid strenuous exercise. We recommend about two weeks off from work and driving, as well as four to six weeks off from heavy exercise. Since it takes about six weeks to reach the 90 percentile of the end result, we recommend waiting about six to eight weeks following your surgery to schedule any major life events like vacation or travel.

Overall, I have found the mommy makeover to completely transform not only a woman’s body but her attitude, revealing her inner beauty. By taking the right precautions, planning for some help at home, and preparing for the recovery process, you can achieve your goal results without sacrificing your number one role as mother.

If you are unhappy with the changes that have occurred in your body following one or multiple pregnancies, you may be a good candidate for the mommy makeover procedure. The combination of contouring and enhancement surgeries can help you restore your pre-baby body and, more importantly, your confidence.

In the initial consultation, you will meet with our patient care coordinators and nurses, and I will conduct a comprehensive evaluation. At this time, I will determine whether you are a good candidate for the mommy makeover and what procedure(s) would best fit your needs to provide you with your desired outcome. I will examine your “problem areas” and educate you about the procedural options using diagrams and brochures. For example, if breast implants could enhance your results, you will learn about all of your options, including the newly offered “gummy bear” implants, and decide what size implant you want by trying on prefilled gel sizers.

Any questions you may have will be answered during your consultation, and the costs will be explained to you. Should you have more questions after your visit, we encourage you to call us or return for a “re-consult”; bring a friend or family member if you wish. Otherwise, you can wait until your pre-operative visit, which is a few weeks before your procedure — at this appointment, you will receive a detailed instruction brochure as well as your prescriptions in advance. You can also take advantage of our cosmetic patient phone referral network and directly speak with my mommy makeover patients about their procedure results and their level of satisfaction with the care which we provided. My staff and I believe that educating you before having your mommy makeover can help speed your recovery and alleviate your anxiety.
