Most women we see in the West Valley aren't looking to look like a different person. They just want their clothes to fit the way they used to. But pregnancy changes the body’s architecture. The connective tissue stretches, the core muscles widen, and volume disappears from the chest. These are mechanical changes that require a surgical fix.
That is the purpose of a mommy makeover. By combining a tummy tuck with breast surgery, we can repair the abdominal wall and restore proportion in a single recovery period. Our team at Southwest Breast & Aesthetics approaches this not just as cosmetic enhancement, but as a functional restoration of your core and confidence.
A mommy makeover is a customized combination of surgeries performed in a single operative session. It addresses the "central triad" of post-partum concerns: the breasts, the abdomen, and the waistline. By treating multiple areas at once, we allow patients to achieve a cohesive transformation with a single recovery period. The specific components are tailored to your anatomy but typically include:
The tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is the foundation of the makeover. It addresses the excess skin and muscle repair that no amount of crunches can fix. We surgically tighten the separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) to restore core tension and flatten the profile.
Breastfeeding and weight fluctuations often leave the breasts deflated or sagging. Depending on your goals, we may recommend:
We use liposuction to sculpt the transition zones, the flanks, hips, and thighs, removing stubborn fat that resists healthy habits. This ensures your new flat stomach blends seamlessly into an hourglass shape.
Trusting someone to restore your body after childbirth is a massive act of faith. We do not take that lightly. At Southwest Breast & Aesthetics, we start by listening. We need to understand how your body has changed and what 'restoration' looks like to you before we ever discuss surgical techniques.
Our team operates differently than large medical groups. We are a boutique practice rooted in safety. From the moment you walk into our Peoria office, you are under the care of staff who treat you like a person, not a procedure. We use our microsurgical expertise to ensure that your result is not just beautiful, but biologically sound.
The ideal candidate is a healthy woman who has finished having babies. While it is physically safe to get pregnant after surgery, a future pregnancy will re-stretch the skin and muscles, compromising your investment. You may be a good candidate if:
This procedure takes place under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical center. You can expect to be in surgery for 3 to 6 hours, depending on the complexity of your repair.
We generally work from the top down—lifting or augmenting the breasts first, then moving to the muscle repair and skin removal on the abdomen. Throughout the process, we use liposuction to refine your contours. Crucially, we do not push the limits of safety. If your anatomy requires more extensive work than we can safely perform in one day, we will discuss breaking the treatment into stages
Recovering from a combined surgery requires patience and support.
