A Transformation  Designed for You

What is a mommy makeover?

A mommy makeover is a combined surgical procedure customized to help women simultaneously address several body changes following pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. These are some of the procedures most commonly incorporated into mommy makeover surgery:

Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)

A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles, addressing diastasis recti (muscle separation).

Breast augmentation

Breast augmentation can be performed using the implants of your choice or the fat grafting technique.

Breast lift (mastopexy)

A breast lift elevates the breasts to restore volume and shape

Liposuction

Liposuction is often incorporated into mommy makeovers to contour and remove excess fat from the abdomen, flanks, thighs, hips, and arms.

Expertise and Compassion

What is the mommy makeover procedure like?

On surgery day, you will arrive at our accredited surgical facility, where our team prepares you for the procedure. After a detailed review, general anesthesia is administered. The specific sequence of procedures varies according to the patient's personalized plan. Your surgeon may perform a tummy tuck first to tighten abdominal muscles and remove excess skin, followed by breast augmentation or lift to restore breast shape and volume. Liposuction can target stubborn fat deposits on the hips, thighs, or abdomen. The total surgery time usually ranges from 3 to 6 hours. Afterward, patients are moved to a recovery area where they are monitored before being discharged to go home with detailed aftercare instructions.

Transform Your Look in a Single Procedure

What areas can a mommy makeover address?

With a mommy makeover Phoenix patients typically target the abdomen, breasts, and any areas with stubborn fat. The tummy tuck addresses loose skin and separated muscles in the abdomen. A breast augmentation and/or breast lift can restore volume and provide a more youthful, perky appearance.

Advanced liposuction techniques can be employed to remove excess fat from areas such as the flanks, thighs, back, and arms, sculpting the body into a more youthful and toned shape. Our plastic surgeons tailor each procedure to the unique needs of our Phoenix mommy makeover patients. The details of your treatment will be carefully mapped out in collaboration with your provider, ensuring you know what to expect before, during, and after your procedure.

Explore thePossibilities

Am I a candidate for a mommy makeover?

Women in good overall health who have finished childbearing and want to restore their pre-pregnancy appearance may be candidates for a mommy makeover. Candidates should be at a stable weight and non-smokers. Those with medical conditions that could impair healing or who cannot undergo anesthesia may not be suitable candidates. It’s important to maintain realistic expectations about your results and discuss your questions or concerns with your surgeon during the consultation.

What to Expect After Your Procedure

Mommy Makeover Recovery

The initial recovery time after a mommy makeover typically lasts 2 to 3 weeks. Patients should arrange for help during the first few days at home, as activities like lifting or driving may not be possible. Compression garments may be necessary to reduce swelling and support healing. Your surgeon will provide thorough aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results. It's important to avoid strenuous activities for at least 6 weeks and gradually return to their daily routine as advised by your surgeon.

Celebrate Your Curves

Mommy Makeover Results

Following a mommy makeover Phoenix patients often see immediate improvements in their body's shape and contour, with results continuing to improve as swelling subsides. Final results are typically visible within 3 to 6 months, revealing a more youthful and toned appearance. The results of this cosmetic procedure can last for many years with proper care, including maintaining a healthy lifestyle, diet, and regular exercise.

During the procedure, excess skin in this area is removed, which often eliminates or reduces the appearance of stretch marks.

While a tummy tuck is not specifically designed to treat stretch marks, it can improve skin tone and texture, leading to a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
