WHAT IT IS

What Body Surgery in Partnership with Dr. Martha Ayewah, Board-Certified Cosmetic Surgeon Is

Citation Nugget. Body plastic surgery encompasses surgical procedures that contour, restore, or enhance the body — including liposuction, mommy makeover (combined abdominoplasty and breast procedures), tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), fat transfer, and BBL alternatives. Procedures are performed by board-certified cosmetic surgeons in accredited facilities under appropriate anesthesia, with recovery timelines that vary by procedure scope. Body Plastic Surgery at LC Medical is the umbrella for surgical body procedures performed in partnership with Dr. Martha Ayewah of Ayewah Aesthetics Inc. Rather than separate per-procedure pages, this single canonical page covers the surgical lineup so prospective patients can evaluate options together — typically the right way to plan, since combined procedures (mommy makeovers, lipo plus fat transfer, tummy tuck plus breast lift) deliver layered, cohesive results in a single consolidated recovery. Procedures available within our body plastic surgery program: - Liposuction — Dr. Ayewah's foundational body contouring procedure, removing localized fat deposits from the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, and other zones. - Mommy Makeover — combined abdominal and breast procedures designed for post-pregnancy patients seeking comprehensive restoration. - Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) — surgical removal of excess abdominal skin and tightening of underlying musculature, often after significant weight loss or pregnancy. - Fat Transfer — Dr. Ayewah harvests fat via liposuction and reinjects it for natural volume restoration in face, breast, or body zones. - Breast Surgery — augmentation, lift, reduction, and revision procedures performed by Dr. Ayewah's board-certified surgical team. - BBL Alternatives — fat transfer-based body contouring approaches as an alternative to traditional Brazilian Butt Lift procedures. The Russian-doll mechanism of choosing the right procedure starts with diagnosis: body assessment identifies the dominant concern, surgical evaluation confirms candidacy, non-surgical alternatives are reviewed honestly (Morpheus8 for Body for skin laxity; Medical Weight Loss Injections for weight management), and surgical planning maps the procedure or combined procedures that will deliver your goal. Many patients pair body surgery with our medical weight loss program — Dr. Lanna's coordinated practice means weight management and surgical timing align.

IDEAL CANDIDATES

Who It's For

Body plastic surgery at Dr. Lanna Aesthetics suits patients in their 30s through 60s addressing concerns that have progressed beyond what non-surgical care can resolve — significant abdominal skin laxity after pregnancy or weight loss; localized fat deposits unresponsive to diet, exercise, and non-surgical contouring; breast changes from pregnancy, breastfeeding, or aging; and body proportion concerns suited to surgical reshaping. Many candidates have completed a medical weight-loss journey at LC Medical and now want surgical refinement. You are likely a strong candidate if you are in good general health, near a stable weight, have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes and recovery, are willing to plan around the recovery window appropriate to your procedure (typically two to six weeks for most procedures, longer for combined plans), and can follow detailed pre- and post-surgical care guidance. Surgical care is generally not appropriate during pregnancy, with active untreated medical conditions, with significant weight that has not yet stabilized (Dr. Ayewah may recommend GLP-1 weight management first), with certain blood-thinning medications, or in patients whose body image expectations cannot be reconciled with realistic surgical outcomes. Honest evaluation is part of every consultation.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Your Surgical Journey

  1. Consultation

    Your body plastic surgery journey at Dr. Lanna Aesthetics begins with an extensive consultation at our Midtown Manhattan flagship. Dr. Martha Ayewah reviews your medical history, photographs the relevant zones under standardized lighting, discusses surgical and non-surgical options honestly, and maps a personalized plan. For patients still working through weight management, Dr. Lanna's GLP-1 program coordinates with surgical timing — surgery near a stable weight produces better and more durable results.

  2. Preparation & Surgery

    Pre-surgical preparation includes medication review, lab work, medical clearance, body conditioning, scheduling around recovery, and arranging support (transportation, post-op care, compression garments, recovery space). On surgery day, the procedure is performed in an accredited facility under appropriate anesthesia (local with sedation or general, depending on procedure scope). Most procedures take two to six hours of operative time; combined procedures longer.

  3. Recovery & Results

    Recovery varies significantly by procedure and combination. Liposuction typically involves one to two weeks of meaningful swelling and bruising with social return after a week to ten days, compression garments worn for several weeks. Tummy tuck typically involves two to three weeks of meaningful recovery with restricted activity for six weeks. Mommy makeover consolidates recovery for the layered procedures. Final results emerge over three to six months as swelling resolves fully and tissues settle. Strict adherence to post-op care, compression garment wear, gentle progressive activity, and lifestyle stability supports healing. Many patients add Morpheus8 for Body or Forma Facial to their long-term plan for surface refinement after surgical recovery.
