The Mommy Makeover is a combination of surgical procedures addressing and reversing the physical changes many women experience during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding, focusing on the breasts, abdomen, and other areas affected by motherhood. This personalized procedure performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon can include a combination of a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), breast lift (mastopexy) with or without augmentation, liposuction, and sometimes buttock augmentation, tailored to meet each individual’s specific desires and needs. At Sanchez-Navarro, with our expert team, state-of-the-art techniques, and compassionate approach, we’re dedicated to delivering exceptional results that are as unique and beautiful as the women we treat. Rediscover your confidence and embrace a renewed sense of self with our specialized mommy makeover in Tucson AZ.
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 the appearance of a woman’s body to its pre-pregnancy state, focusing on areas most affected by motherhood.
Unlike a singular cosmetic surgery that targets one area, a mommy makeover encompasses a series of operations performed in a single session or staged over a period of time.
The typical mommy makeover procedures include a breast procedure and a tummy tuck. Here are some examples:
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.
At Sanchez-Navarro Plastic Surgery in Tucson, AZ, we offer a customized Mommy Makeover package designed to meet the unique needs and objectives of women after pregnancy. This typically includes a mix of procedures aimed at enhancing the breast and abdominal areas, such as liposuction, breast lift, and tummy tuck, to specifically address post-pregnancy concerns. Here is an overview of what to expect during our Mommy Makeover procedure:
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:
You should be in good general health, without chronic medical conditions that could impair healing or increase surgery risks. A detailed medical evaluation will confirm your suitability for the involved procedures.
Smoking can significantly hinder your recovery process and increase the risk of complications during and after surgery. You are an ideal candidate if you are a non-smoker or have quit smoking well in advance of the procedure.
You should be at or near your ideal weight and have maintained it for at least six months. Significant weight loss or gain after mommy makeover surgery can affect the results of a mommy makeover.
It’s recommended that you consider a mommy makeover only after you have finished having children. Future pregnancies can alter the effects of the procedures and may necessitate additional surgeries.
If you have recently finished breastfeeding, it’s advised to wait 6 months before undergoing surgery.
Mommy makeover recovery involves a significant period of healing and adjustment. The procedure’s comprehensive nature means recovery can vary based on the extent and combination of surgeries performed. Here’s what you can expect during the recovery process, along with some tips for a smoother recovery and insight into when you can expect to see the final results.
