Are You a New Mommy?Can’t seem to find the time to work out enough to

lose that last little bit of baby weight?

Do you find that your body doesn’t look or feel as good as it used to?

No mother in the NYC area would give up her bundle of joy to have her pre-baby body back, but what if you didn’t have to?

Dr. Steinbrech uses revolutionary techniques with breast lifts, breast augmentation and liposuction to peel away the excess fat and sagging

skin and reveal your beautiful pre-baby body underneath.

Breast LiftA breast lift, or mastopexy, is a plastic surgery procedure aimed to raise and firm a woman’s breasts. Commonly referred to as a boob lift, there are many reasons women who have had pregnancy decide on this procedure. Dr. Douglas Steinbrech performs breast lift surgery for his patients as part of the mommy makeover in and around the New York City area. Dr. Steinbrech has noticed that most of his patients are NY mothers who have seen the negative affects of breastfeeding and pregnancy in general. Breast lifts are very typical in a mommy makeover package. The procedure is not meant to change the size, rather the overall shape and placement. It can help to re-position or reduce size of the areolas, the dark skin surrounding the nipple, but the ultimate objective act as a rejuvenation to the circumstances that have had a lasting effect on your breasts, such as gravity, or breast feeding.

Rapid weight gain and loss for women patients will often have increased breast volume and then a decreased volume with skin laxity becoming permanent. As a result, a breast lift may be required as part of the mommy makeover to help women regain their pre-maternity breasts back to a more youthful appearance.

Breast Lift Continued…

The Ideal Candidate for a Breast Lift

• If you are a women who meets any of the following conditions, you may be an optimal candidate for breast lift surgery…

• Breasts sagging

• Breasts have lost shape or volume

• Breasts appear deflated, elongated, or pendulous (hanging)

• Breast skin and/or areola seems stretched

• Nipples or areolas point downward

• Nipples or areolas are located in the breast crease when breasts are unsupported

• Uneven breasts

Types of Breast Lift Procedures…When it comes to the breast lift surgical procedure, there are a four types of

incisions Dr. Steinbrech will consider.

1) Crescent Breast Lift, or Periareolar, is the least invasive and performed on women who only have mild sagging. The name comes from the semicircular

incision made either above or below the areola.

2) Benelli or Circumareolar Breast Lift, in which an incision is made going all the way around the areola.

3) Anchor Breast lift is the original technique for a breast lift.

4) Lollypop or Vertical Breast Lift is for women with moderate or extreme sagging problems and the technique is a combination of the Benelli and Anchor lift.

Dr. Steinbrech may choose the right technique after discussing with you in detail based on what is best for meeting you goals and expectations.

Breast ReductionReferred to as a mammoplasty by those in the medical community, a breast reduction helps women in NYC with large, or pendulous

breasts who are experiencing pain and discomfort, as well as the contributing factor for other various of medical issues. Women with larger breasts may also attribute a greater feeling of being self-conscience over unwanted or unsolicited attention. The procedure

removes extra fat, tissue and skin as well as reshapes and lifts the breasts. There are multiple reasons women opt for a breast reduction. Most common is to relieve straining back and neck pain. New mothers also frequently visit Dr. Steinbrech’s New York City

practice for the breast reduction procedure due to unpredictable effects on the breast shape or size after childbirth and breastfeeding. Whatever the reason may be, you are in good hands at our clinic.

Breast Reduction Continued…The breast reduction begins with multiple incisions being

made by the surgeon. The first is around the areola, the dark portion around the nipple. Next a vertical incision is made

from the bottom of the areola to the crease under the breast, in a “T” like formation. The third and final incision follows the natural curve of the breast crease. Once these

steps are completed the surgeon can now remove the excess tissue. In certain cases liposuction may also be done in the underarm portion. The final step is for the areola to

be made smaller and higher, to be proportional to the patient’s new breast size.

Females and moms of any age may have breast reduction surgery performed by our mommy makeover specialist; however, it is recommended waiting until after the breasts have fully developed to undergo this procedure.

You may be a good candidate for breast reduction if you have any of the following problems:

• Are physically and psychologically healthy• Experience neck, back, or shoulder pain• Have heavy, sagging breasts• Have realistic expectations of the procedure• Have breasts that are fully developed• Breasts that are too large for your body size• Have difficulty with exercise and physical activities

due to large, heavy breasts• One breast that is larger than the other

Liposuction Liposuction is a surgical procedure that improves the body’s contour by removing excess fat from deposits

located between the skin and muscle. Dr. Douglas Steinbrech specializes in female liposuction in NYC for a mommy makeover. Moms who get a mommy makeover take advantage of liposuction to remove fat from their areas of the body including the waist, hips, thighs and

back. Liposuction makes it easy to sculpt a wide range of areas to help your restore your pre-pregnancy figure back.

Liposuction can treat the following problem areas:

• Arms• Back• Breasts• Buttocks• Face

• Flanks• Inner Thighs• Legs Ankles• Neck• Outer Thighs

Liposuction Continued…The female liposuction procedure in NYC for a mommy makeover will vary from patient to patient because techniques are

based off many factors including the area of the body being tended to and the amount of fat in that region. Once these factors are noted, the basic procedure is relatively similar for all surgeries.

A small incision is made and a tool known as a cannula is inserted. Think of the cannula as a small narrow vacuum, powerful enough to suck out all the fat.

Dr. Steinbrech’s philosophy is to be as minimally invasive during surgery as possible and his cutting edge liposuction techniques follow that.

Tummy Tuck A tummy tuck, also known as an abdominoplasty, is the surgical procedure for removal of excess skin or fatty deposits from the

abdomen. Dr. Steinbrech offers tummy tuck procedures exclusively or as designed in a Mommy Makeover Package at his clinic in New York City. A tummy tuck after pregnancy helps women regain their post-maternity stomachs to permanently restore firmness, tightness and remove any loose skin caused by weakened or separated muscles.

Diet and exercise alone are not necessarily always a cure all for our weight control and weight loss goals. Many individuals strive to

achieve their target objectives through the standard and obvious methods and they often plateau. Some of our patient’s have

expressed to us their frustration and that they’ have tried everything but their abdominal region is still not as in shape as they desire. The

results are not reflecting the effort. New mothers may also find it difficult to fix physical changes as a result of their pregnancy. For those with stubborn belly fat or excess skin a tummy tuck is the

procedure to opt for and explore. Abdominoplasty surgery aims to contour the middle and or lower abdominal region.

Tummy Tuck Continued…A skilled surgeon, such as Dr. Steinbrech, will make an initial incision from one hip to the other. This cut is made low near the bikini line; this way any resulting scarring will not be visible. Another incision is made around the navel or belly button, which is inevitably re-positioned at

the end of the tummy tuck. The skin is then separated from the abdominal wall from the bikini line up to the ribs. Muscles are re-aligned and sutured together. Then, the excess fat is removed, sometimes with liposuction, and extra skin is pulled down. For patient ’s who have

less abdominal fat, Dr. Steinbrech may suggest a mini tummy tuck. The process is essentially the same except the initial incision is only about six inches long and the belly button is not cut around. The tummy tuck will only take the surgeon about two hours to complete

The ideal candidates for an abdominoplasty are in

good physical condition with fat or loose skin that has not responded well to diet and exercise. We can also help older,

slightly obese people whose skin has lost some of its elasticity.

Abdominoplasty can resolve the issue of stretched skin and muscles usually stemming from post-pregnancy.

Results from the tummy tuck procedure will likely diminish if women continue to bear children, so we advise patients who

plan to become pregnant to delay the procedure until they have completed their child bearing years.

We also encourage patients who intend to lose a lot of weight, to reach their final objective before undergoing the procedure. Skin in the abdominal area typically loosens after substantial

weight loss.
