Mommy Makeover
in Tucson, AZ

Loose abdominal skin, changes in breast shape and volume, and stubborn pockets of fat are common concerns many women experience after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Even with diet and exercise, these changes can be difficult to fully reverse. A mommy makeover is a fully customized combination of procedures designed to restore and enhance the breasts, abdomen, and other areas of the body.

Our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Francisco Sanchez-Navarro, uses advanced techniques and a personalized approach to create balanced results.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a comprehensive, customized combination of multiple procedures that address the physical changes many women experience after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. The mommy makeover aims to restore or even enhance a woman’s body to its pre-pregnancy appearance, focusing on the areas most affected by motherhood.
Unlike a single cosmetic surgery procedure that targets one area, a mommy makeover encompasses a series of operations performed in a single session or staged over time.

What Does a Mommy Makeover Include?

The typical mommy makeover procedures include a breast procedure, liposuction, and a tummy tuck. Patients can choose a combination of procedures that suits their individual needs.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can leave breasts sagging or deflated. A breast lift procedure raises and firms the breasts by removing loose skin and tightening the surrounding breast tissue. A breast lift surgery can be paired with breast augmentation to either restore lost volume or enhance the size of the breasts.
Breast Augmentation
This surgery enhances breast size and shape. It can increase breast fullness and improve symmetry, tailored to individual preferences for a more pronounced bust line.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
The abdominal area undergoes significant changes during pregnancy, often resulting in stretched skin, weakened abdominal muscles, and stubborn fat deposits. Tummy tuck surgery firms up the abdomen by tightening separated abdominal muscles, eliminating excess fat, and removing loose skin, resulting in a more toned abdominal appearance.
Liposuction
Even with a healthy, nutritious diet and regular exercise, some women find it difficult to lose the excess fat deposits accumulated during pregnancy. Liposuction targets these stubborn areas, such as the hips, thighs, and abdomen, by removing fat cells and sculpting a more contoured body shape.
Brazilian Butt Lift
Even with a healthy, nutritious diet and regular exercise, some women find it difficult to lose the excess fat deposits accumulated during pregnancy. Liposuction targets these stubborn areas, such as the hips, thighs, and abdomen, by removing fat cells and sculpting a more contoured body shape.

Recovery After a Mommy Makeover

Mommy makeover recovery involves a significant period of healing and adjustment. Here’s what you can expect during the recovery process, along with some tips for a smoother experience.
Immediately following surgery, it’s normal to encounter swelling, bruising, and some discomfort. Pain medication will be prescribed by our plastic surgeon to alleviate these symptoms. Having someone available to assist you during these first few days is essential.
During this period, you should rest as much as possible and avoid any strenuous activities. You may start to move around more to promote circulation, but keep your movements gentle and limited. Follow-up appointments with your plastic surgeon can ensure proper healing and remove drains or adjust bandages.
Gradually, you’ll be able to return to more regular activities. Lifting heavy objects and exercising vigorously are still not recommended to prevent strain on the healing incisions. Swelling and bruising will begin to decrease significantly during this time.
By this point, most patients can resume all normal activities, including exercise. However, listening to your body and your plastic surgeon’s advice is essential if you need more time to heal.
For a smooth recovery, prioritize rest and closely follow your post-operative instructions, including taking prescribed medications and managing activity levels. Wear compression garments as directed to support healing and reduce swelling. Focus on a nutritious, balanced diet and stay hydrated to aid in the healing process. You should also refrain from smoking and drinking any alcoholic beverages, as these can interfere with healing and interact negatively with medications.

The Mommy Makeover Procedure

Here is an overview of what to expect during a mommy makeover procedure:
Your mommy makeover procedure begins with an initial consultation with Dr. Sanchez-Navarro, during which you’ll discuss your goals and medical history. After a thorough examination, our surgeon will craft a personalized mommy makeover plan tailored to your specific needs, detailing the procedures, their order, and pre-surgery preparations. This approach ensures a journey that’s uniquely yours, aiming for the best possible results.
Before your surgery, you’ll undergo medical tests, such as blood work or mammograms, to ensure you’re ready for the procedure. Dr. Sanchez-Navarro may also suggest stopping certain medications and/or supplements that could increase the risk of bleeding. Plus, if you’re a smoker, you’ll be advised to quit well in advance to facilitate better healing.
Our mommy makeover is performed under general anesthesia in our state-of-the-art surgical center. Based on the number of procedures and their complexity, mommy makeover surgery may take several hours. The surgery may start with breast procedures, followed by abdominal surgeries. Liposuction, if included, can be performed on various areas as needed.

Who Is the Suitable Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

Our mommy makeover can help you achieve a more youthful appearance. Here are the criteria that typically define an ideal candidate for a mommy makeover:
Ideal candidates are in good overall health, free from conditions that could increase surgical risk or impair healing. During your consultation, Dr. Sanchez-Navarro will review your medical history and may request pre-operative testing to confirm you are a safe candidate for combined procedures. Women managing chronic conditions should discuss these openly so a safe and effective plan can be developed.
Smoking significantly impairs circulation and the body’s ability to heal, increasing the risk of complications, such as poor wound healing and infection. Candidates are strongly encouraged to quit smoking well before their procedure and to remain smoke-free throughout the recovery period. Dr. Sanchez-Navarro will provide specific guidance on how far in advance you should stop smoking prior to surgery.
Candidates should be at or near their goal weight and have maintained that weight consistently for several months before undergoing a mommy makeover. Significant weight fluctuations after surgery can alter results and compromise the longevity of your outcome. Reaching a stable weight through diet and exercise before your procedure helps ensure your results are as long-lasting as possible.
Because pregnancy can reverse the improvements achieved through a mommy makeover, candidates who have finished having children tend to see the most enduring results. If you are planning future pregnancies, Dr. Sanchez-Navarro may recommend waiting until your family is complete before proceeding. This ensures your investment in the procedure delivers the lasting transformation you deserve.
Breastfeeding causes ongoing changes in breast volume, shape, and skin elasticity, which can affect surgical planning and outcomes. It is generally recommended that candidates wait several months after they have finished breastfeeding before undergoing breast procedures. This waiting period allows breast tissue to stabilize, enabling Dr. Sanchez-Navarro to achieve the most accurate and satisfying results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mommy makeover results are designed to be long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. While the procedure addresses changes caused by pregnancy, natural aging will continue over time. Following Dr. Sanchez-Navarro’s post-operative recommendations and attending regular follow-up appointments will help preserve your results for many years.
In many cases, yes. Dr. Sanchez-Navarro can combine multiple procedures into a single surgical session, which reduces overall recovery time and the risks associated with multiple rounds of anesthesia. However, depending on the complexity of your plan and your individual health profile, some procedures may be staged across separate sessions for optimal safety and results.
Most patients can return to a desk job or light work duties within two to three weeks, though this varies based on the procedures performed and individual healing. Those with more physically demanding jobs may need to wait four to six weeks or longer. Dr. Sanchez-Navarro will provide a personalized recovery timeline during your consultation.
A mommy makeover can reduce the appearance of stretch marks, particularly those located on the lower abdomen that fall within the area of skin removed during a tummy tuck. Stretch marks located outside the surgical area or on other parts of the body may not be significantly affected. Dr. Sanchez-Navarro will discuss realistic expectations regarding stretch mark improvement during your consultation.

As with any surgery, there are inherent risks, all of which will be discussed in detail during your initial consultation.
