Mommy Makeover in Gilbert, AZ

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.

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 that 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.

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 that 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, stretch breast tissue, and stretch 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.

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.

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.

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 their surgery and have recovered after 4 months.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
