MOMMY MAKEOVER PROCEDURE WITH DR.MALEK
Following pregnancy, breasts can begin to show a loss of volume and loosening skin. Dr. Malek specializes in breast augmentation and breast lift procedures as part of a mommy makeover in Phoenix to tighten and makeover the area and help a new mommy recover a more appealing look. They minimize the amount of incisions and only makes the smallest ones. His treatments can deliver a more firm, balanced, and voluminous appearance to the breasts.
For patients experiencing stubborn fat in the abdomen and waist areas, tummy tucks can provide the desired solution. During this procedure, the muscles become tightened and accommodate a more firm tummy. Patients can compare their waistline and see the difference this cosmetic makeover procedure has made to their bodies.
We love our children above all, but the damage pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can do to the body is usually a shock. A once youthful, trim figure now appears loose, saggy, and may have unsightly stretch marks and excess skin. Although women’s bodies are built to give birth, the toll it takes on the body can be truly devastating. Why not bring back the pert, trim, fit look you had prior to giving birth? We can help.
Since every patient is different, you’re able to choose your own custom treatment when it comes to the mommy makeover. This surgery is planned and developed to restore the areas of the body that have been damaged or distorted. Your breasts may have begun to sag or appear deflated, and may have never returned to the original volume, size, and location on your chest. Your tummy may now be covered with stretch marks and sagging, droopy skin that you feel you must hide. If you are careful about what you wear, and only dream of putting back on a bikini – why not take steps to restore your body? Modern surgical techniques truly make it possible.

It is amazing to observe how much more confident and secure our patients feel when their bodies are restored to a pre-pregnancy appearance – or even better than before. We do it all; we are proud to work with mothers from Phoenix to Scottsdale and beyond, we proudly help mothers look amazing and feel truly confident.
The skin and muscle tissues in the abdominal areas stretch during pregnancy and will result in loose, flabby skin. Even after weight loss, training and dieting, the skin may retain this loose and unsightly appearance. An abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, can revitalize your stomach and abdominal area by removing excess skin, tightening the inner walls of your stomach muscles, and removing unwanted fatty deposits through liposuction, creating a tighter, flatter, and more attractive abdominal profile. Our procedure uses liposuction during the tummy tuck portion which allows for the removal of excess fat that develops during pregnancy and handles the stubborn areas that are unaffected by dieting and exercise.
Mastopexy, or breast lift, reconstructs the breast in such a way that excess fat and skin is removed, thus tightening breast tissue, achieving a lifted appearance, which recovers an appearance similar to that of your pre-pregnancy, youthful breast contours. The mastopexy will also treat the tissue surrounding the nipple, or areola, which can frequently become stretched due to the changes experienced by a new mommy.
If you desire fuller, larger breasts, the surgeon can perform a breast augmentation along with the lift. This cosmetic enhancement procedure uses either saline or silicone breast implants to create a bust line that is, perhaps, larger and fuller than the patient's pre-pregnancy breast size. Once again, the option of breast augmentation should be discussed with your doctor in your consultation prior to surgery to determine the best course of treatment during your makeover.
Breast reduction surgery can be a valuable option for women experiencing discomfort due to large breasts, these can cause back pain and discomfort from childbirth or a pre-pregnancy condition. Reduction mammaplasty is a procedures that is designed for breast reduction by removing excess skin, fat, and tissues of the breast, alleviating any pain or discomfort.
Regardless of the combination of procedures you choose to have, the ultimate goal of a mommy makeover is to achieve a tighter stomach, fuller, higher breasts and recover the body you had pre-childbirth.

By their very nature, mothers—having given birth—are very well primed and prepared for the recovery period that follows a surgical procedure of this type. It’s an uncomfortable but very bearable experience, and one that we’ll be with you all along the way. The length of recovery depends on what procedures we end up choosing together for your makeover. Assuming you went with every possible procedure, you’re likely looking at about a 2 to 4 week recovery period, with most recoveries requiring 10 to 14 days. Pain medication and some simple postoperative suggestions will make it as smooth as possible. Let’s connect and discuss your personal journey.
PATIENT EDUCATION
When it comes to having a mommy makeover, the procedure length depends on what areas you are treating. It is common for moms to want to address areas of concern such as their breasts, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks, but it may not be necessary for every person. The number of areas you are treating will have a direct effect on the amount of time the surgery will require. The idea of a mommy makeover is to make the most of your time in the operating room, completing everything in one surgery. Most mommy makeovers will take an average of four to six hours.
Not at all. A mommy makeover is a fully customized procedure tailored to your unique post-pregnancy body and goals. Every woman experiences childbirth and recovery differently, some may seek comprehensive rejuvenation involving the breasts, abdomen, and other areas, while others may only want to address a specific concern, such as sagging breasts or loose abdominal skin. The goal is to restore confidence and comfort; not to follow a one-size-fits-all approach.
While it’s possible to have a mommy makeover before finishing your family, it’s important to understand that future pregnancies can affect your results. Pregnancy naturally changes the body by stretching skin, shifting tissues, and impacting muscle tone, which can alter the improvements achieved through surgery. For the most lasting and satisfying outcome, we generally recommend waiting until you have completed your childbearing years before undergoing a mommy makeover. This helps ensure your results remain consistent and your investment in your body is preserved long-term.
Yes! A key component of many mommy makeovers is a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), which can effectively repair diastasis recti, the separation of abdominal muscles that often occurs during pregnancy. By suturing the muscles back together, the procedure not only improves the appearance of your abdomen by creating a flatter, firmer contour but also helps restore core strength and function. This combination of aesthetic and functional benefits makes the mommy makeover an excellent option for addressing diastasis recti.
Your body will need time to heal, so your rejuvenated look will slowly be revealed as you recover. You will experience swelling in your breasts and abdomen for several weeks. This is a natural part of healing and will improve gradually. Although you will continue to heal and see improvements over time, optimal results will be noticed around the three-month mark.
Most patients can begin light walking within the first week or two to promote circulation and aid recovery. However, more intense activities such as heavy lifting, running, or strenuous workouts should typically be avoided for six to eight weeks to allow your body to heal fully and reduce the risk of complications.
Because Dr. Malek’s mommy makeovers are a very fluid and adaptive procedure that is tailored from patient to patient, an exact cost is given after a personal consultation with him. A patient whose body has been greatly impacted by pregnancy and who wishes to treat the breasts, abdomen, thighs and the buttocks should typically expect to pay several thousand dollars. The final price of a mommy makeover in Phoenix (given after a personal consultation) includes all related expenses including anesthesia, hospital or surgical facility fees, your surgeon’s fee, and medication.
A mommy makeover is surgery, and with any surgery, you will need time to recover. Plan on taking as much time off work as you can to be able to rest comfortably at home. Two to four weeks is advised. You will need to have someone drive you home and stay with you throughout the night. You will still be medicated and might need assistance getting around your home for the first 24 to 48 hours.
