Introduction

Commonly Combined Procedures

  • An arm lift firms loose, sagging contours in the upper arms, eradicating “bat wings” and allowing patients to enjoy wearing sleeveless clothing and swimwear once again.

  • A Brazilian Butt Lift utilizes extracted fat cells to reshape and enhance the rear end beautifully, increasing volume while ensuring balanced, attractive results.

  • Breast augmentation helps combat volume loss associated with aging, pregnancy, or weight loss, restoring a proportionate and inviting upper body profile.

  • This combination approach to sculpting the upper body addresses both volume loss and breast ptosis, or sagging.

  • A breast lift elevates drooping breasts to a perkier position on the chest wall, repositioning downward-facing nipples for a more youthful appearance.

  • For women struggling with oversized, pendulous breasts, breast reduction can bring relief from discomfort along with a more balanced, proportionate figure.

  • For women who wish to avoid implants, breast augmentation can be completed using the patient’s own excess fat.

  • Labiaplasty restores aesthetics, comfort, and mobility by trimming excess skin in the labia minora. After the procedure, patients feel more confident in the bedroom and at ease during everyday activities, such as riding a bike.

  • Liposuction is a gold-standard body sculpting procedure performed to reshape areas prone to stubborn, exercise-resistant fat.

  • A thigh lift can address bulky inner and outer thighs, resulting in a more proportionate and attractive appearance in the upper legs.

  • An abdominal plasty is performed to firm weak or separated abdominal muscles, trim loose, sagging skin, and restore the belly button to a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing location

  • Our team at The Carney Center in Virginia Beach can restore pleasure, comfort, and aesthetics in the vaginal region after pregnancy or aging.

Who Are the Best Candidates for a Mommy Makeover?

Ideal candidates for a mommy makeover in Virginia Beach or Newport News are healthy, non-smoking individuals at a stable weight who have completed their families and seek to restore their figure to its pre-pregnancy appearance. Whether you are unhappy with just a few concerns, such as volume loss in the breasts and stubborn fat in the hips and belly, or you imagine a transformation from head to toe, a mommy makeover can be carefully tailored to your unique needs and wishes. Our team will meet with you for a detailed consultation process to discuss your candidacy and options in more depth.

What’s the
first step?

The first step along your mommy makeover journey in Virginia Beach is a private, detailed consultation with Dr. Martin Carney and his son, Dr. Martin Carney III. They will listen to your concerns, examine you physically, and conduct an in-depth review of your medical and surgical history, including any current medications, allergies, and pre-existing conditions. All your questions will be answered, and you will gain a better understanding of what to expect in terms of recovery, results, and costs.

Before your surgery, you will receive personalized preparation instructions to help make your treatment process as stress-free as possible. You may be asked to undergo additional medical testing and stop taking certain medications and supplements that might increase your risk of bleeding and swelling. You will need to fill any prescriptions ahead of time and schedule assistance with childcare and daily tasks to help you recover. A responsible adult should drive you home after surgery and help out for the first 24-48 hours.

What to Expect on the Day of Mommy Makeover Surgery

Dr. Carney and Dr. Carney III in Newport News, Virginia, perform mommy makeover surgery under general anesthesia. This allows you to sleep and relax while the team revitalizes your physique. Surgery can take anywhere from 4 to 6 hours, depending on the extent of the changes required. During your mommy makeover, your surgeon will trim excess, drooping skin, remove pockets of stubborn fat, and create a more balanced, proportionate figure that reflects the youthfulness and vitality you feel on the inside. Once all changes have been completed and your incisions are sealed, you will be placed in the recovery suite and carefully monitored until Dr. Carney and Dr. Carney III approve you to be sent home.

Mommy Makeover Recovery

Recovery after a mommy makeover is consolidated, allowing patients to undergo multiple procedures with only a single healing period. You will experience swelling, bruising, and soreness throughout the body, but Dr. Carney and Dr. Carney III will ensure you are comfortable with prescription pain medications and a detailed aftercare plan. You will be fitted with compression garments, which help keep your newly sculpted contours intact as you heal and decrease overall swelling.

It is critical that you avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for up to six weeks after surgery, giving your body the best chance at a full recovery. Despite this, you can begin taking gentle walks right away after your mommy makeover in Virginia Beach. This will improve your circulation and lower the risk of clotting. Take care to sleep with your head elevated at night. If you smoke, wait at least 4-6 weeks before resuming, as smoking can significantly interfere with a successful recovery process.
