Daddy Do Over Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg

A Daddy Do Over is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed for men who desire to regain their youthful appearance. It includes several treatments aimed at restoring the body after the physical changes that can occur due to aging, weight fluctuations, or other physical and mental stresses of fatherhood. (1) The Daddy Do Over is essentially the male equivalent of a Mommy Makeover, which is a comprehensive procedure that helps women achieve their ideal bodies after pregnancy. (2)

Whether you are a dad, a busy professional, or simply ready to invest in yourself, our Daddy Do Over package is designed to help men feel more confident, youthful, and refreshed. This customized combination of procedures addresses common areas where men want to slim, tighten, and rejuvenate their appearance. (1)

What is the Daddy Do Over?

A Daddy Do Over is a multi-faceted approach tailored to address the concerns that fathers face regarding their bodies as they age. Whether it is excess skin from significant weight loss, stubborn fat deposits, or gynecomastia (a condition where men develop breast tissue), this ensemble of treatments can help restore a more youthful silhouette. The popularity of this procedure has risen significantly due to the growing desire among men to undergo cosmetic procedures, reflecting an increased understanding and acceptance of male plastic surgery. (1)

Our Daddy Do Over and other male plastic surgery procedures are uniquely tailored to men’s anatomy and aesthetic goals. We produce natural and subtle results that never appear overdone or artificial, which helps to boost confidence at any age. Our Daddy Do Over treatments can also combine surgical and non-surgical treatments for men, helping them achieve full face and body rejuvenation.

What Male Procedures are Commonly Included in a Daddy Do Over?

Like with a Mommy Makeover, Daddy Do Overs can be customized to include any procedure that will help you achieve your ideal body. (2) However, these procedures uniquely cater to male anatomy and create strong, masculine features. Some of the procedures frequently performed in a Daddy Do Over include:

  • Liposuction For Men: This will remove stubborn fat in the abdomen, flanks (love handles), or chest.
  • Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Frequently combined with liposuction, this procedure removes excess skin around the abdomen and helps to create a slim, strong torso.
  • Gynecomastia Surgery (Male Breast Reduction): This flattens and sculpts the chest for a more masculine contour.
  • Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): This brightens and refreshes tired eyes.
  • Neck Lift or Chin Liposuction: These define the jawline and reduce loose skin.
  • Hair Restoration: We can replace hair follicles in areas of thinning to give you fuller hair growth.
  • Male Facelift (Rhytidectomy): This removes excess skin from the face and smooths out wrinkles to create a youthful and virile appearance.
  • Non-Surgical Options: Botox, fillers, and skin treatments are available to reduce fine lines and enhance facial definition.

Why More Men are Choosing Plastic Surgery

Historically, women have been the main recipients of plastic surgery procedures. However, many men are now undergoing these treatments to achieve their ideal bodies and improve their well-being. Plastic surgery for men over 40 has become especially common. As discussions of male mental health have become less taboo, the perception of plastic surgery has shifted from female-focused beauty enhancement to important gender-affirming and life-improving care for patients of all backgrounds. Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology is proud to offer treatments for men and we are excited to help you achieve your ideal image.

Undergoing a Daddy Do Over offers numerous benefits, enhancing both physical appearance and psychological well-being.

  • Improved apparel fit: With the elimination of stubborn fat and excess skin, many patients find that clothes fit better and they feel more comfortable in a variety of clothing styles.
  • Defined muscle structure: Procedures like liposuction and abdominoplasty can accentuate muscular definition in the abdomen and chest, leading to a fitter-looking body.
  • Long-lasting results: Surgical outcomes from procedures typically yield long-lasting results, offering a permanent change in body aesthetics.
  • Reduced physical discomfort: Those suffering from gynecomastia or excessive abdominal skin may experience discomfort, which can be alleviated through surgical intervention.
  • Tailored solutions: Because each Daddy Do Over is customized, individuals receive a combination of treatments that meet their unique concerns and goals.

Candidates

Despite its name, Daddy Do Overs are not exclusive to fathers. Any man who would benefit from this comprehensive treatment can undergo the procedure. Patients should be in good general health with specific ideas of the corrections they wish to make. Candidates must have realistic expectations regarding the outcomes of their procedures. A personal consultation with a Greenberg surgeon will help assess whether a Daddy Do Over aligns with an individual’s goals.

Personal Consultation

The personal consultation is a critical step in determining if a Daddy Do Over is suitable for you. During this meeting, your surgeon will take the time to understand your aesthetic goals, medical history, and any concerns you might have. A thorough examination of targeted areas will help identify the best course of action, including which surgical techniques are appropriate and how they will integrate into your desired outcome.

Our practice encourages open communication during this consultation. Patients should express any worries about anesthesia, pain management, recovery, and expected results. Ample knowledge leads to better decisions and helps build trust between the surgeon and patient.

Preparation

You will receive a list of preparation instructions to follow. Following these carefully will ensure your safety throughout treatment and optimize your results. These will vary for each patient depending on their medical history and goals, but common requirements include:

  • Avoiding blood-thinning medications, supplements, and vitamins before surgery, as instructed.
  • Abstaining from nicotine use and alcohol consumption before the procedure and during recovery (if applicable).
  • Arranging transportation home from the surgery, particularly if sedation or general anesthesia will be utilized.
  • Fasting for a set period before the procedure as determined by your surgeon.
  • Acquiring any necessary prescriptions for pain management and antibiotics ahead of time.
  • Allocating adequate time off work for rest and recovery post-surgery.

Procedure

The execution of your Daddy Do Over procedure will depend on what treatments you elect to receive. Incision sites will be carefully planned to minimize scarring and visibility. For example, liposuction may only require small incisions in discreet locations, while a tummy tuck will involve larger incisions along the lower abdomen. After making the required incisions, your surgeon will access the underlying tissues to tighten muscles and remove excess skin. In liposuction procedures, your surgeon will insert a cannula through your incisions and remove stubborn fat deposits. If you receive a hair restoration treatment, we will harvest individual hair follicles with the NeoGraft FUE system, preserve them, and then carefully embed them into your scalp.

After making all necessary corrections, incisions are closed with sutures, and dressings are applied. Patients will be monitored in a recovery area until they are stable enough to go home. The duration of the procedure will depend on the complexity of the combined treatments performed but typically ranges from five to six hours. (1)

Recovery

Daddy Do Over Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg

After your Daddy Do Over, the initial recovery period will encompass various stages. For the first few days, it is common to experience swelling and discomfort. Pain management will be provided according to your surgeon’s recommendations. Patients should focus on resting throughout the first few days of their recovery. During this time, please keep your head elevated to promote circulation and reduce swelling. Follow post-operative care instructions diligently, including when to remove dressings and how to manage incisions. (1) Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and ensure there are no complications. Most patients can expect to return to work within one to two weeks, though this will vary based on the specific procedures performed and your job’s physical demands. Gradually resuming normal activities is essential, and strenuous exercises should be avoided until cleared by your surgeon.

Natural Results Designed for Men

Results from a Daddy Do Over will be gradual as swelling diminishes and healing progresses. Once healed, you can anticipate enjoying your transformation, complete with a more toned physique and renewed self-assurance. The final outcome will provide enhanced contours, improved muscle definition, and a refreshed, youthful look.

Scars will heal over time and will generally fade, becoming less noticeable as part of your natural skin texture. You should maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a well-balanced diet and regular exercise, to maximize and sustain results.

Cost of Daddy Do Overs in New York
