Mommy Makeover in Phoenix

Mommy Makeover

in Surprise, AZ

Just because you have kids doesn’t mean you have to have a “mom body”. Many women want to get back to their original body after having children so that they can feel like themselves again. If this sounds like you, our specialists at Regency are here for you and ready to give you a mommy makeover in Phoenix, Buckeye or Surprise, Arizona.

What is a mommy makeover?

A mommy makeover is a very popular cosmetic treatment that addresses the areas of the body that have been changed by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. It’s actually a combination of procedures that are all done at once, and each operation will be customized to target your specific problem areas. The procedures most commonly include a tummy tuck, liposuction, and either a breast augmentation, lift, or reduction.

The benefits of a mommy makeover

The mommy makeover provides a wide range of benefits for women who want to rejuvenate their figure and gain newfound confidence. Based on the procedures chosen for each custom procedure, benefits vary from patient to patient. Benefits generally include the following:

Multiple procedures performed at once
One session of anesthesia
A shorter overall downtime period
Rejuvenation that achieves a youthfully appealing, feminine figure

A tight, flat, and sculpted abdominal area
Lifted, shapely, and appealing breasts
An enhanced physique
A return to your pre-pregnancy figure

Candidates for a mommy makeover

If you’re considering a mommy makeover in Phoenix, Buckeye, Surprise, or the nearby areas, you may be a perfect candidate—even if you’re not a mommy. This procedure is very effective and beneficial for any woman who has undergone pregnancy, breastfeeding, childbirth, or excessive weight loss and has been left with loose skin and deflation of the breasts.

Other qualities of a good candidate are:

Finished with childbearing and breastfeeding
Very close to their ideal body weight
Generally healthy non-smoker
Has realistic expectations

Is a mommy makeover just for mommies?

No. This treatment gets its name because it targets the areas that are associated with an after-pregnancy body—however, these same areas can affect a person who doesn’t have children. Loose skin of the abdomen, stretch marks, and sagging breasts can also be the trademarks of a body that has lost a considerable amount of excess weight. A mommy makeover is often an ideal procedure for this condition.

Before & After

Mommy makeover surgical details

It’s very important for those undergoing a mommy makeover to know two things before they have the procedure:

One, that you are completely finished having children. Two, that the weight you’re at is the weight you want to remain at. If you become pregnant or fluctuate in weight after your mommy makeover, it will disrupt the results.

A mommy makeover in Surprise at Regency Specialties is usually an outpatient surgery performed under general anesthesia. The amount of time it will take will depend on the specific procedures you’re having done, but generally it takes 4 to 5 hours.

Your surgeon will be able to give you a better idea of the step-by-step surgical process during your consultation, once you have decided which procedures you want. Every patient will choose a different combination of treatments for a mommy makeover; however, in general, the procedures can include:

A breast augmentation, lift, or reduction
A tummy tuck
Tightening of the abdominal muscles
Liposuction (thighs, arms, love handles)
Cosmetic injectables

Recovery

Patients undergoing a mommy makeover should plan on taking a couple of weeks to recuperate properly, and expect it to take around four weeks before you’re 100% back to normal activities (including any kind of high intensity exercise).

Discomfort and tolerable pain will be experienced for about a week after your surgery, and it could be up to two weeks before you are able to drive, although everyone heals at different speeds.

Many patients schedule their mommy makeover around when they can have someone come to help them. After the procedure, you will definitely need help for a couple of weeks, especially if you have children.

Mommy Makeover Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recovery like for a mommy makeover?

Patients typically need about 2-3 weeks of downtime to recuperate after a mommy makeover. Initially, you will have pressure bandages, and if you had a tummy tuck, drains around the abdominal area (drains will be removed after several days).

What is the ideal weight for a mommy makeover?

For a safe surgery with the best results, you will want to be within 10-20 pounds of your ideal weight with a BMI of 30 or lower.

What can you not do after a mommy makeover?

As you recover, you won’t be able to lift anything heavy, including picking up your children. Do not exercise or have sex for one to two months. Do not smoke.
