A mommy makeover is a combination procedure that addresses post-pregnancy changes by combining breast augmentation or lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, and possible fat transfer into one session. (2) Dr. Lefkovits creates personalized plans to restore volume, tighten tissue, and sculpt the body. Combining procedures into one operation shortens total recovery time.

TUMMY TUCK AND LIPOSUCTION

These can be standalone treatments or combined within a mommy makeover or body contouring plan.

BLEPHAROPLASTY

Eyelid lift procedures refresh the upper and/or lower eyelid area by removing excess skin and fat, helping patients achieve a rested, youthful appearance. (4)Blepharoplasty is the earliest form of facial rejuvenation. Dr. Lefkovits tailors each lift precisely to avoid a “overdone” look.
