What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a personalized approach to restoring areas of the body that often change after pregnancy and childbirth. The procedure is designed to address those changes in a balanced, natural way.
Concerns about the abdomen, breasts, and overall body contour are common for women exploring a mommy makeover in Scottsdale. Each treatment plan is tailored to your body and goals, whether that involves loose abdominal skin, changes in breast shape or volume, or areas of stubborn fat. Combining procedures allows for one surgery and a single recovery period.
Why Women Choose a Mommy Makeover
Many women considering a mommy makeover want to feel comfortable and confident in their bodies again after having children. In many cases, the physical changes of pregnancy do not fully resolve over time, even with consistent self-care.
Women often choose a mommy makeover to:
- Restore a flatter, firmer abdominal area after stretched skin or muscle separation
- Improve breast shape, position, or fullness following pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Refine the waist, hips, or flanks for better overall balance
- Address multiple concerns in a single procedure
Beyond the physical changes a mommy makeover provides, many clients describe feeling more like themselves again. Clothing fits more comfortably, posture improves, and daily activities feel effortless with a more balanced body.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Deciding whether a mommy makeover is right for you starts with understanding timing, health, and long-term goals. The right approach depends on your unique anatomy, lifestyle, and expectations.
You may be a good mommy makeover candidate if you:
- Are finished having children
- Are in good general health
- Maintain a stable weight
- Have realistic expectations about outcomes and recovery
- Want to address changes in the breasts, abdomen, or body contour
That conversation is an important part of the process.

What Procedures Are Included in a Mommy Makeover?
Mommy makeovers focus on areas most commonly affected by pregnancy and childbirth. While the specific procedures vary from patient to patient, the goal is to create balanced, natural-looking results fit for your body.
During your consultation, Dr. Mazaheri will determine which combination of procedures makes sense based on your concerns and anatomy.
Breast Enhancement Options
After pregnancy and breastfeeding, many women notice changes in breast shape, volume, or position. You may feel that your breasts have lost fullness, sit lower than they once did, or no longer feel proportional to the rest of your body.
Breast enhancement as part of a mommy makeover may involve a breast lift, breast augmentation, or both, depending on what you want to improve. When breast augmentation is included, implant size and placement are carefully selected to achieve results that feel balanced and natural.
Abdominal Procedures
The abdomen is often one of the most challenging areas to restore after pregnancy. Even with regular exercise and healthy habits, loose skin or muscle separation can remain and affect both appearance and core support.
For patients with milder concerns, a tummy tuck may be appropriate. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens the underlying abdominal muscles to create a firmer, more supported midsection. Dr. Mazaheri will carefully evaluate your abdomen during consultation and draw on years of experience to recommend an approach that fits your body and goals.
Body Contouring and Fat Reduction
You may find that certain areas of fat remain resistant to diet and exercise after pregnancy, particularly around the waist, hips, thighs, or flanks. These areas can disrupt overall balance even when the rest of the body feels healthy.
Liposuction is often included in a mommy makeover to refine these areas and improve overall contour. The treatment selectively removes excess fat to create smoother transitions and more cohesive results when paired with other procedures.
What to Expect During Surgery
Your mommy makeover experience begins with a consultation. During your consultation, Dr. Mazaheri will discuss your goals, explain recommended procedures, and walk through the plan and expected timeline.
On the day of your surgery, your mommy makeover is performed in a fully accredited surgical setting, with anesthesia provided to keep you comfortable during treatment. Depending on your personalized plan, surgery typically lasts between four and six hours. Throughout the procedure, you are closely monitored, with careful attention paid to your safety and comfort.
Most mommy makeovers in Scottsdale are performed as outpatient procedures, which means you can go home the same day with detailed aftercare instructions and support in place. With Dr. Mazaheri and his team, the goal is to make the experience feel well-organized, calm, and carefully managed from start to finish.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery is an important part of your mommy makeover experience, and understanding what to expect can help you feel more prepared and confident going into surgery. While healing looks slightly different for every patient, most women follow a similar timeline.
- First 1 to 2 weeks – This is the primary rest period. Swelling, tightness, and soreness are expected and managed with prescribed medications and compression garments. Most patients take time off work and limit activity during this phase.
- Weeks 3 to 4 – Movement becomes easier as swelling continues to decrease. Energy levels improve, and light daily activities can be resumed while still avoiding strenuous tasks.
- Weeks 4 to 6 – Many patients begin returning to their regular routines, including light exercise with approval. Results start to feel more settled, though some swelling may remain.
- Beyond 6 weeks – Healing continues, and results refine as swelling fully resolves over time.
Throughout recovery, Dr. Mazaheri will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your healing, address questions, and adjust your aftercare plan as needed.
Results and Benefits
Mommy makeover results develop gradually as your body heals and swelling subsides. While early changes are often noticeable within the first few weeks, final results continue to refine over time. The focus is always on creating changes that feel natural, balanced, and appropriate for your body.
Because multiple areas are addressed together, a mommy makeover can transform your body with cohesive results that separate treatments cannot provide. Many patients notice improvements in overall contour, how clothing fits, and daily comfort.
During your consultation, Dr. Mazaheri will provide realistic result expectations based on your anatomy and personalized treatment plan. Transparent communication and thoughtful planning ensure outcomes that feel harmonious and long-lasting.
