A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of procedures designed to restore your body’s shape and confidence after pregnancy. Our surgeons tailor each treatment plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

For many women, pregnancy can change many areas of the body, which do not always return to normal. A mommy makeover is a personalized set of procedures that aim to help a woman address common changes in the breasts and body for a more youthful appearance. Some common goals of the mommy makeover procedure include:

Correcting sagging breasts.
Restoring volume to the breasts.
Improving breast asymmetry.
Removing sagging and excess skin from the abdomen.
Repairing separated abdominal muscles.
Reducing stubborn fat pockets.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

Patients who are unhappy with the changes that pregnancy has caused in their body who wish to achieve a more youthful look can often benefit from a mommy makeover at Tucson Plastic Surgery. Women who are fully recovered from childbirth who are finished breastfeeding and are finished having children are ideal candidates. A consultation with one of our plastic surgeons is needed to best determine if this procedure is a good fit for you.

You could not dream of a better team than Tucson Plastic Surgery. From the minute you walk in the door, every person you encounter is compassionate and welcoming. For going through such a scary process, they were patient, informative, and made it so much easier to digest. It truly feels like you have a team fighting for your health and advocating for your well being. Both Dr. Kurtovic and Dr. Mahabir are caring, confident, and masters of their craft. Doctors and nurses alike were there at the drop of a hat for any issues that arose post-op, and were always more than happy to take calls/emails and reassure me. I felt extremely taken care of and cannot recommend them enough. Bonus: their advocacy efforts are commendable and the office is gorgeous! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I cannot say enough about the level of care and concern from the team at this facility. They were all so kind and patient as they helped me achieve the results I wanted post mastectomy.

I had the pleasure of working with both Dr. Kurtovic and Dr. Mahabir for my mastectomy to implant reconstruction and revision with fat grafting. I cannot say enough about Dr. Kurtovic and Dr. Mahabir along with Virgina and the rest of the Tucson Plastic Surgery staff during what was certainly a fast and frightening year of my life. Both surgeons and staff were so positive, reassuring and compassionate from the minute I walked in for my first consultation. Dr. Kurtovic and Dr. Mahabir put my nerves at ease with their warm care and attention to detail in every aspect of their practice. I was lucky to have both surgeons of this amazing practice be the lead surgeon of my two procedures. I am so thankful to Tucson Plastic Surgery and the work they do. I am extremely happy with the results, and I can safely say with the help, support and guidance of Dr. Kurtovic, Dr Mahabir and Tucson Plastic Surgery, I’m ready for the next year and to be on the other side. I cannot thank you enough for your care and gratitude.

Met with Dr. Mahabir to discuss reconstruction options. Walking into his lobby, my husband and I immediately found comfort as the area is inviting and beautifully designed!! The rooms are just as beautiful and tranquil. I loved his confidence and his knowledge in breast reconstruction. He gave me my options and we selected 2! Double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction (implants), once I finish chemo, we'll go back in for my final surgery (DIEP flap). Dr. Mahabir was professional, kind and compassionate which is what you want from your surgeon! His staff were also very welcoming and kind. I highly recommend Dr. Mahabir for your reconstruction needs!!

What an amazing surgeon and staff. Dr Mahabir and Nicole Baca were awesome!! My experience with a breast reduction/reconstruction due to breast cancer 17 years ago was perfection. I'm so happy with the results and I'm just 6 weeks out. Did a Tummy Tuck for fun and can't wait to see final results in a few months. Fabulous all the way around from scheduling, to surgery to post op visits. Worth the 5 hour round trip drive from N Scottsdale to Tucson. Thank you...happy beyond words!

Both Dr. Mahabir and Dr. Kurtovic are health care providers who care for patients with dignity, and quality care. My mom was Dr Mahabir's patient, and she was treated with respect, humility and patience as we were trying to understand reconstructive surgery after my mom's breast cancer diagnosis. I am in deep appreciation for Dr. Mahabir and the care he provided to my mom; he practiced active listening, and treated both of us as human beings (something you rarely see in the health care system; especially, managing a cancer diagnosis). All staff at Tucson Plastic Surgery, since the moment you walk in are attentive to patients' needs. Both my mom and I felt welcomed and in positive spirits as soon we walked into Tucson Plastic Surgery's space. I am specially grateful for Virginia Van, Patient Care Coordinator at Tucson Plastic Surgery for always answering our questions promptly, and making sure we fully understood everything regarding my mom's care pre and post surgery. After the cancer diagnosis, every visit with Dr. Mahabir became a positive experience, and a break from the myriad of testing and doctor visits my mom and I had to attend. Tucson Plastic Surgery created a space for my mom and I to find relief and look forward to a life after cancer. Thank you for all your work!

Highly recommend Dr. Mahabir and his team! He listens well, is excellent at what he does and overall my experience was nothing but positive.

Nothing but good things! Dr. Mahabir and his staff have been wonderful throughout my surgeries and recovery. I had a preventative double mastectomy and immediate reconstruction in June and just this week had an implant exchange. The pre-care and after care has been nothing short of excellent!

I won’t have enough room to say everything good I have to say. Dr Mahabir changed my life. I have lived with neck and upper back pain for over 20 years. It’s gone now. Gone. Thanks to not taking advil for the pain my GERD is gone now too. As a side benefit one of the supplements I was given for better surgery outcomes has virtually eliminated my post nasal drip due to allergies. There is virtually no scars tissue from the procedure. The only thing left after three months are red lines. Much less than I was told to expect. On my skin these red lines will be gone on less than a year. My only regret is that is did not do this procedure sooner. This office is so professional. Staff answer calls immediately. I never felt like I couldn’t call and get answers to questions or concerns. The recovery was a breeze and I did listen to Dr M when he told me not to over do things because I felt so great. I followed directions with great care and had an incredible outcome. Dr M has a detailed preparation and post op protocol. He really knows what he is doing.

Mommy Makeover Recovery Process 6-8 Weeks

Because mommy makeovers are highly personalized, surgery recovery time may vary. Most surgical procedures require patients to avoid lifting for 6-8 weeks after surgery, so if you require child care, it is best to schedule that before your procedure. Your plastic surgeon will provide you with instructions on how to best care for yourself during recovery, and how to properly take any medications that are prescribed to you. Do not hesitate to contact our office if you have any questions or concerns post-surgery.

Mommy Makeover Frequently Asked Questions

Are Mommy Makeovers dangerous?

Your reasons and decision to have a mommy makeover is tremendously personal. Every surgery has risks and a mommy makeover is no exception. The key part is to compare the risks and benefits. We will help you understand the procedure and potential complications and explain what you can expect for a result. Then, together, we can decide through a shared decision-making process whether this is the right operation for you.

Can a tummy tuck be considered medically necessary?

A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a surgery designed to flatten the abdomen by removing extra skin and fat and to tighten the abdominal wall (six pack) muscles. Despite some added medical benefits of potentially reducing stress incontinence, decreasing back pain and improving posture, abdominoplasty is always considered cosmetic.

Do you lose weight after a mommy makeover?

Yes, you lose weight after surgery. Not initially, as fluid retention, swelling, inflammation, stress and limitation of activities can lead you to gain a few pounds in the first week. You can minimize this by drinking plenty of water, eating well (high fiber, whole grains and fresh fruit while minimizing comfort foods) and walking short distances. But eventually, you will see a drop on the scales. For some, its a few pounds from the extra skin and fat removed from the tummy tuck. For others, it may be as much as 15-20 pounds if liposuction is done.

How do you prepare for a mommy makeover?

To prepare for a mommy makeover, you will want to make sure you have optimized your body weight and are not planning on losing additional weight or future pregnancy. You will want to make sure your medical health is in the best condition, and sometimes this may require a visit to your primary care doctor. It is important to have help lined up for the first few weeks after surgery as you won’t be able to do regular house work or drive until cleared by your surgeon. Preparing meals ahead of time Filling your prescriptions Taking enough time off To prepare for your actual procedure you will need to avoid taking certain medications that could potentially interact with anesthesia. These can include aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, or blood thinners. It is also crucial that you stop smoking and using tobacco products before your surgery.

How long does it take to recover from a mommy makeover?

We use enhanced recovery and Exparel, a long-lasting local anesthetic, to boost the recovery, minimize discomfort and have you back to normal much quicker than you might expect. You will be up and walking the same day and, depending on your job, you may be back to work in a week or two. Bruising and swelling may persist for 2-3 weeks. While light walking and lifting may be resumed fairly quickly after surgery, you cannot return to a regular workout routine for 6 weeks.

How many plastic surgeries can be done at once?

It is not so much the number of surgeries as it is the length of surgery. For an outpatient surgery, we typically limit it to 4 or 5 hours. For longer surgeries, we will either have you stay overnight at the hospital or have a nurse go home with you (one on one care) so that we can ensure your safety.

How much did you pay for your mommy makeover?

There are no set components as it is tailored to fit your individual needs and desires. The most common areas are the breasts and the abdomen and together cost around $20,000 (Our prices are all inclusive: the consult, all pre-operative visits, the surgery, anesthesia and surgery center, as well as all post-operative visits and garments). Other possible surgeries that can be done at the same time include arms, thighs, labia and facial rejuventation. Each patient is unique as is each surgery performed and the cost. Please call us or click here to contact us regarding a private consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons. We pride ourselves on a patient-centric approach to serving you and look forward to meeting you soon.

How much fat can be removed during liposuction?

Liposuction is a procedure that we do just about every day and you will be amazed at how much fat can be permanently removed. The maximum amount of fat that can safely be removed in an outpatient surgery is 6 to 8 pounds (3-4 liters). If you require more than that, it is safest to either divide the liposuction into separate procedures or stay overnight after surgery.

What does a mommy makeover cost?

How much a mommy makeover costs depends on the types of procedures being performed and total length of surgery.

What is all included in a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover can include breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, arm lift, thigh lift, or labiaplasty.

How many sizes do you go down after a mommy makeover?

Most people who have a mommy makeover will go down a size or two. It can depend on the procedures you have done.

When can I bend over after mommy makeover?

Typically, you won’t want to bend over for 4-6 weeks after your mommy makeover.

How long do I have to sleep elevated after mommy makeover?

You will need to sleep in an elevated position for the first few weeks after the procedure.

What does it mean to stack body treatments/procedures?

Stacking body procedures involves performing several different treatments in the same surgery / procedure. Stacking treatments can be an effective way to ensure patients get the most value out of the experience. The best example is the 01cmommy makeover01d which is a combination of procedures performed at the same time to restore the shape and appearance of a woman’s body after children. Think breast aug and tummy tuck. Or breast lift and tummy tuck with liposuction.

How long is bed rest after mommy makeover?

In general, we do not recommend bedrest after surgery. It is important to walk every day, but take it easy and not lift anything more than 5 lbs for several weeks. Your surgeon will give you specific details on when you can return to exercise after surgery.

How long after mommy makeover can I walk?

You are encouraged to walk right after surgery to enhance circulation throughout your body and prevent blood clots. However, we recommend walking short distances at first, with gradual increased activity as you heal.

How do I take care of myself after a mommy makeover?

Preparing certain things in advance like childcare, meals, grocery delivery, and cleaning/chores, will allow you to remain off your feet and focused on your recovery alone. Taking all required prescription medications and following all post-op instructions carefully is essential for taking care of yourself after a major surgical procedure like a mommy makeover.

How can I speed up my mommy makeover recovery?

There is no real way to speed up your surgical recovery, as healing takes time. The best advice we give is to follow all of your surgeon’s instructions and prepare for your recovery well in advance. This will allow you to help prevent complications from occurring that may prolong your recovery.

How do I prepare my body for a mommy makeover?

Before your mommy makeover, you may need to get labs taken and some medical testing done. You may also need to take certain medications leading up to your procedure or adjust the medications you are currently taking. You will also be advised to stop smoking for at least 6 weeks before and after surgery.
