What Is a Mommy Makeover?
Pregnancy brings many significant changes in your life, lifestyle, and body. After pregnancy, many women confess to having some degree of dissatisfaction with their post-baby body, including loose skin, stretch marks, drooping breasts, weakened or separated abdominal muscles, stubborn areas of fat, and changes to their labia. Despite consistent workouts and dieting, many women find it challenging to regain their pre-baby figure.
A mommy makeover combines surgical procedures that aim to sculpt and restore the areas of the body that have been impacted the most by pregnancy. Because pregnancy can affect multiple areas of the body, including the breasts, abdomen, and labia, many women opt to have more than one procedure.
The procedures selected for your mommy makeover will be determined based on your individual goals and the unique changes to your body that you would like to address.
Our team of carefully curated specialists at DrSkin Med Spa understands that the difference is in the details when it comes to achieving our patients’ desired results, which is why we strive to create unique consultation and surgical experiences for each client.

What to Expect During a Phoenix Mommy Makeover Consultation in Chandler, AZ?
When you arrive at your initial complimentary consultation at DrSkin Med Spa, you will be greeted by one of our providers, who will guide you through our detailed, hands-on process.
After being greeted, you will be led to a private treatment room to discuss your concerns surrounding your post-pregnancy body. Your clinician will present and educate you on your mommy makeover options and other possible treatments while answering your questions and concerns. You will have a chance to learn about different mommy makeover procedures, their advantages and disadvantages, the procedural process, and what to expect during your recovery.
The practitioner will take photographs and measurements, provide a list of potential surgical fees, and answer any follow-up questions. Your clinician will then share these photos and measurements with Dr. Jaiswal, who will determine your candidacy for treatment and begin finalizing the cost of your surgical plan.
Once Dr. Jaiswal determines your candidacy, the provider will contact you to discuss Dr. Jaiswal’s feedback and proceed with possible next steps. Once you confirm that you are ready to move forward, a formal quote will be provided, and a second consultation with Dr. Jaiswal will be scheduled to dive further into your mommy makeover surgical plan, expected recovery, and other details regarding your procedure.
Mommy Makeover Procedures
A mommy makeover consists of a combination of procedures aimed at restoring and rejuvenating a woman’s body to her pre-pregnancy figure, which may include a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast augmentation or reduction, breast lift, and vaginal rejuvenation surgery. We ask patients to discuss their body goals and prioritize their concerns during their consultation with our medical team, led by board-certified plastic surgeon Rohit Jaiswal, MD.
At DrSkin Med Spa, your safety is our top priority and foremost responsibility, and we make no compromises when performing any procedure, especially surgery.
Breast Augmentation
Many women lose their natural breast volume and projection during and after pregnancy. Due to hormones, the breasts tend to swell during pregnancy, especially during breastfeeding. Many women fall in love with the appearance of their pregnancy breast size and wish it could be their forever breast size. A breast augmentation uses implants to enhance the size, shape, and projection of your breasts. Dr. Jaiswal will place the type and size implants of your choosing into the breasts through carefully placed incisions. Breast implants come in many sizes and shapes for a truly customized approach to help you reach your aesthetic goals.
Breast Lift
One of the most common complaints from women after pregnancy is breasts that droop, sag, and look asymmetrical. If we think of our skin like a rubber band, it can be stretched, but it’s likely not going to look the same after the stretching is done. A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a contouring procedure that lifts the breast mounds by removing excess skin, tightening muscles, and repositioning the nipples. This procedure is often combined with breast augmentation to restore both the volume and position of the breasts for an overall more youthful appearance.
Tummy Tuck
The area that undergoes the most profound transformation during pregnancy is inarguably the abdomen. Some women measure their bellies and find that their stomach projects twelve to eighteen inches. It is no surprise that once their child is born, there is excess skin, stretch marks, weakened abdominal muscles, and stubborn pockets of fat.
During a tummy tuck, Dr. Jaiswal makes an incision across your lower belly, in a discreet location that is easy to hide with most lingerie and swimsuits. He will then remove excess skin and fat and repair the abdominal muscles. Some patients choose to include liposuction with their tummy tuck procedure to eliminate stubborn pockets of fat that accumulate in the area during pregnancy.
Liposuction
Dr. Jaiswal uses liposuction to remove sections of indelible fat throughout the body. Liposuction is especially great for mommy makeover patients with fat unresponsive to diet and exercise alone. As a bonus, the extracted fat can be used to contour other areas of the body, including the breasts or areas of the face, during a fat transfer procedure.
Labiaplasty
A labiaplasty procedure is performed for women who, after pregnancy, are experiencing redundant skin or overly large lips (labia minora) on the vulva. These women often complain about their labia being uncomfortable in clothing or experiencing discomfort during sexual intercourse or exercise. With this option, Dr. Jaiswal removes excess labia skin and tissue to improve the appearance and function of the labia. This minimally invasive surgery helps resolve feelings of being uncomfortable or embarrassed by such an intimate area.
Body Contouring
Additional procedures that can be included in a mommy makeover at DrSkin Med Spa include an arm lift, thigh lift, or a lower body lift to further address other concerns that have developed during and after pregnancy.

Patients considering a mommy makeover are looking to improve:
- Breast appearance
- Stubborn pockets of diet- and exercise- resistant fat
- Sagging skin around the abdomen
- Weakened abdominal muscles causing back pain
Candidates for surgery must be in good overall health with no current medical conditions that could hinder their surgical success or recovery. To determine whether a mommy makeover is right for you, our team of medical professionals, led by Dr. Jaiswal, will give you their expert feedback and guide you through this important life-changing process.
What Can You Expect on the Day of Your Mommy Makeover
When you arrive at our state-of-the-art, world-class surgical facility in Gilbert, Arizona, on the day of your mommy makeover, you will be greeted by our patient coordinator and taken to the operating room to begin preparations. Dr. Jaiswal will arrive to review the details of your customized mommy makeover. He will use a non-toxic pen to mark the specific areas where he plans to place incisions during your planned procedure(s).
As Dr. Jaiswal marks your skin, he will discuss his approach to your mommy makeover surgery, including general anesthesia, where he will make the incisions, how he plans to place the breast implants during a breast augmentation, how much skin he plans to remove during a tummy tuck or breast lift, and the type of dissolvable sutures he will use. He will also review your recovery, including any expected discomfort and all post-operative instructions.
Once the surgical areas are thoroughly prepared, a board-certified anesthesiologist will put you into a deep and comfortable sleep, and Dr. Jaiswal will begin the surgical process. A mommy makeover consists of several body contouring procedures performed concurrently aimed at rejuvenating, tightening, and contouring a woman’s physique following childbirth. Generally speaking, a mommy makeover that includes a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast augmentation or reduction, and a breast lift takes about 5 hours to complete. Once the surgery is complete, your incisions will be closed, and you will be taken to a private room for recovery.
Mommy Makeover Recovery in Mesa, AZ
Once you have woken up from anesthesia and been cleared by Dr. Jaiswal, you will be released to your caretaker. Dr. Jaiswal will also review the post-op care instructions with you and your caretaker to ensure you follow these instructions carefully.
Recovery from a mommy makeover will vary depending on the type of procedures included in your surgical plan. In every case, Dr. Jaiswal will prescribe pain management medications while providing clear and detailed instructions on best practices during recovery. As with all surgeries, residual swelling and tissue stabilization can offset the final results of a mommy makeover procedure upwards of 6 to 12 months. However, patients report almost immediate visual improvements that translate into enhanced self-esteem and body confidence. Most patients see noticeable results within 4 to 6 weeks of surgery and recover after 4 months.
After the first week, swelling and bruising will resolve, and you should feel more like yourself. You can start walking and moving around more frequently, but you should refrain from heavy lifting or other strenuous activities.
Most patients return to work within 2 weeks after surgery. Your sutures are dissolvable and will slowly disintegrate naturally over time. Continue refraining from strenuous exercises and heavy lifting during this time, but light, sedentary work is safe and acceptable.
By weeks 4 and 5, you’ll be able to start thoroughly enjoying the results of your mommy makeover procedures. Your incisions should be fully healed, and swelling and bruising should be mostly resolved.
With dedication to our patient’s safety, health, and general well-being, our post-operative protocol is extremely hands-on and attentive. We schedule mandatory follow-up appointments with Dr. Jaiswal and another physician on our staff the day after your surgery, weekly for one month, and monthly for up to 3 to 4 months. This protocol helps ensure successful outcomes and a comfortable, safe recovery of our patients.

Phoenix Mommy Makeover FAQs
Is it safe to perform multiple procedures during a mommy makeover?
Yes, Dr. Jaiswal has performed thousands of mommy makeover cases, and safety is always his number one concern. We do not cut corners or take chances while managing patient care. As a highly regarded destination facility, boasting a Top 100 Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Rohit Jaiswal, MD has the experience, training, and qualifications, to perform multiple procedures concurrently in the operating room.
How should I prepare for a mommy makeover? Do I need to lose weight before a mommy makeover?
Weight loss, like personalized body goals, is unique to each patient. When it comes to losing weight, a realistic expectation of results is especially important. Moreover, it’s critical you are comfortable with your body weight prior to surgery as extreme weight fluctuations are discouraged post-op. We encourage patients to lose as much weight as they need to achieve their body goals prior to their mommy makeover. Regular exercise and a healthy diet are staples to accomplishing these goals, but weight loss injections, such as Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, may provide another facet of treatment to consider and incorporate into your regimen before surgery. Individuals must be healthy, free of disease, and mentally stable, before undergoing a mommy makeover procedure.
Should I wait until I’m done having kids before getting a mommy makeover?
While having kids or adding a baby to your family is a beautiful and fulfilling experience, and an acceptable practice, after undergoing a mommy makeover, it’s not encouraged. We strongly recommend patients wait until they have finished childbearing before undergoing a mommy makeover. Waiting ensures patients can maintain their mommy makeover results and newfound body contours indefinitely, and subsequent pregnancies can tear underlying abdominal muscles, and stretch breast tissue, and stomach skin thereby undoing your surgical results. Moreover, new incisions may be necessary during a second mommy makeover, or updated procedure, further exacerbating any potential scars and keloids.
How soon after giving birth can I get a mommy makeover?
We recommend waiting a minimum of 6 months following uncomplicated vaginal births, and breastfeeding, before undergoing a mommy makeover. This recovery period is crucial to allow time for your abdominal tissue, body, and breasts, to heal and stabilize from childbirth. Precise timelines will vary among individuals as each body and person is unique.
How long does a mommy makeover surgery take?
A mommy makeover consists of several body contouring procedures performed concurrently, aimed at rejuvenating, tightening, and contouring a woman’s physique following childbirth. Generally speaking; a mommy makeover that includes a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast augmentation or reduction, and a breast lift takes about 5 hours to complete.
What is the recovery time for a mommy makeover?
As with all surgeries, residual swelling and tissue stabilization can offset final results of a mommy makeover procedure upwards of 6 to 12 months. However, patients report almost immediate visual improvements that translate into enhanced self-esteem and body confidence. Most patients see noticeable results within 4 to 6 weeks of their surgery and are recovered after 4 months.
When can I start to exercise after a mommy makeover?
For your first 2 weeks, immediately following your surgery, Dr. Jaiswal may encourage you to take light walks throughout the day, no more than 10 minutes at a time. It is important to maintain proper blood flow and encourage natural growth factors to help expedite your recovery. Patients may begin a slow and steady return to exercise after 2 to 4 weeks. More strenuous strength training and cardiovascular workouts can be expected after 6 to 8 weeks. During your recovery, our medical team, led by plastic surgeon, Dr. Rohit Jaiswal, MD, will monitor every facet and stage of your recovery weekly, to ensure compliance and best practices.
How do I sleep after a mommy makeover?
Following your mommy makeover surgery, you will be required to sleep in an upright position with your torso and head slightly elevated, preferably at a 45-degree angle. You may also place a pillow underneath your knees for additional comfort and to reduce unwanted pressure on your lower back muscles. This sleeping position will help encourage and expedite your recovery, reduce the possibility of complications, and, most importantly, minimize pressure on your lower abdominal region.
Can I pick up my child after a mommy makeover?
We encourage patients to refrain from picking up and holding their newborns, or children, for a period of no less than 2 weeks, but no more than 6 weeks. A mommy makeover consists of a medley of body contouring procedures, which may include a tummy tuck, liposuction, vaginal rejuvenation, a breast augmentation or reduction, and a breast lift. This combination demands ample rest and requires patients to avoid strenuous activity, like heavy lifting, regardless of the specific list of procedures and extent of surgery.
How long will the results of my mommy makeover last?
Regardless of age at the time of your procedure, the results of your mommy makeover should last indefinitely. Patients in their 30s, 40s, and 50s can expect to refresh their breast implants at some point in their lifetime but will maintain 10 to 20 years of durability before planning for an update. To retain the results of your mommy makeover surgery, avoid future pregnancies, minimize extreme weight fluctuations, and maintain an active lifestyle that includes regular exercise and a healthy, balanced nutrition plan. Please keep in mind that undergoing a mommy makeover will not stop you from aging or developing medical conditions that can affect your long-term results.
When can I start to see and enjoy the results of my mommy makeover?
While final results typically take 3 to 12 months to realize, you will begin to visualize your new figure instantly. You can expect swelling to completely subside after about 3 months, revealing your new body contours. Patients, however, report experiencing an overnight boost in self-esteem and body confidence. Given Dr. Jaiswal’s training and experience as a board-certified plastic surgeon, he has performed thousands of mommy makeover cases over his 16-year career and takes immense pride in his ability to deliver consistent and predictable results, restoring and revitalizing your physique to a more natural, youthful, looking appearance.
Will my mommy makeover leave scars?
Dr. Jaiswal takes great care in concealing, and minimizing, the location and size of necessary incisions. It is his personal goal to ensure the best possible outcome for each patient under his care. As with most surgeries, unfortunately, scarring can occur. During your recovery, you can expect your incisions to appear pink but fade consistently over the first 12 months following your mommy makeover. Regardless, at DrSkin Med Spa, we can lighten, flatten, and, in some cases, completely remodel your hypertrophic, atrophic, and keloid scars, leaving them invisible and rejuvenated with fresh new skin, completing your procedure and mommy makeover journey.
