Mommy Makeover (Post-Pregnancy Surgery)

in Phoenix & Chandler, AZ

If childbirth has changed your body in significant ways, the mommy makeover offers you a highly customizable procedure that restores the appearance of your breasts, abdomen, stomach, and more.

Reclaim Your Confidence

As a new mother, it is natural to be overjoyed with the little bundle of happiness in your arms. However, this phase of life also introduces many changes to your body, which are not always in your favor. Pregnancy hormones, breastfeeding, diet, and lifestyle modifications all bring about significant changes to your appearance, and such changes can profoundly affect your self-confidence and self-esteem.

A mommy makeover at Elite Plastic Surgery can target the areas of your body that need the most change to get back to your pre-baby body. Our plastic surgeons in Phoenix, AZ—Dr. Rozbeh Torabi and Dr. Radbeh Torabi—perform surgical procedures to enhance the appearance and firmness of the breasts, buttocks, thighs, and abdomen.

Every woman is different, so results and the surgical techniques used may vary from patient to patient. As a combination of multiple body sculpting techniques, a mommy makeover rejuvenates, revitalizes, and tones a woman’s body to an extent that rigorous diet and exercise fail to ensure.

Treatment for the Abs

Commonly, women have stretch marks on their abdomen, weakened muscles in the abdominal wall, and loose skin after delivering a baby. No matter how hard some women try to repair their bodies with diet and exercise, some conditions will not remedy themselves. C-section deliveries can also leave you with surgical scars on the tummy.

Many women feel they still look pregnant because of the sagging abdominal skin left post-delivery. Dr. Rozbeh, Dr. Radbeh, or Dr. Ramyar Torabi can perform a tummy tuck in Phoenix, which is probably one of the best solutions to resolve all of the above issues. If you only have a slight fat deposition on the abdomen after a pregnancy, however, liposuction may yield optimal results as well.

Included with Mommy Makeover Surgery

Treatment for the Breasts

Even if you do not breastfeed, pregnancy may affect your breast size and shape. Loss of volume or sagging is due to the rapid enlargement of breasts during pregnancy, causing many physiological changes in the skin. Stretch marks may have developed on the breast as well. At Elite Plastic Surgery, we can offer a breast augmentation to correct the volume loss and a breast lift to address drooping breasts.

Treatment for the Thighs

Weight gain is perhaps one of the worst side effects of pregnancy, which can lead to fat accumulating on both the inner and outer regions of the thigh. Despite adequate measures taken to lose this excess fat, the deposit on the thighs can still be quite significant and stubborn. We can treat this area with a thigh lift and liposuction, as they are good options for resolving the issue of excess fat accumulation in the thighs.

Other Areas for Treatment

A mommy makeover can also include other surgical or noninvasive aesthetic treatments:

Do I Qualify for a Mommy Makeover?

The best candidates for a mommy makeover are women in good health who need assistance restoring their bodies after pregnancy and childbirth. A mommy makeover is best for women who have used a healthy diet and exercise to naturally restore their body, but there are still stubborn pockets of fat, loose skin, or other concerns that cannot be altered naturally.

It is recommended that candidates seeking a mommy makeover not be planning any more pregnancies, as additional pregnancies will alter the work of this procedure. If you do get pregnant after your mommy makeover, a few touch-up surgeries are usually needed to restore your results.

Mommy Makeover Healing and Recovery Time

Mommy Makeover Healing and Recovery Time Prior to the procedure, you will meet with your surgeon to discuss which procedures will be part of your mommy makeover treatment plan. Since a mommy makeover incorporates a number of different procedures, each patient’s surgical experience will be different. Most mommy makeover surgeries will be performed in an accredited surgical facility or hospital with the patient under general anesthesia.

The length of the surgery will vary based on the number and types of procedures performed at one time. Because of the invasiveness of certain procedures, some patients will be required to stay overnight following surgery. Recovery time for this procedure is extensive and can take up to six to nine months for full recovery.

Most patients can go back to their normal routines after roughly the first month. Exercise should be avoided for two months post-surgery or when your surgeon gives approval. After surgery, you will slowly begin to see your transformed body as the swelling subsides.

Other Considerations

Scarring is a natural part of any surgery and should be expected. It is important that patients consider an excellent plastic surgeon for this procedure, as they will have the knowledge and skill to minimize scarring and make incisions where they will be less noticeable. After fully recovering, scarring should be minimal and, in most areas, hardly noticeable.

Patients should not let this deter them from a mommy makeover, as the benefits of this procedure outweigh the scarring. Also, keep in mind that the mommy makeover has nothing to do with your ability to become pregnant again. Future pregnancy, however, will reverse the benefits of your plastic surgery, and you may need to have a second mommy makeover.
