01
The Procedure

What is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover describes a customized combination of cosmetic procedures to restore a woman's body shape and appearance after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. This makeover typically addresses changes in the breasts, abdomen, waist, and buttocks.

It is commonly composed of procedures such as breast augmentation, breast lift, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), liposuction, and in some cases a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). The goal is to tackle issues such as sagging breasts, loose skin, stretch marks, and excess fat, helping mothers regain their pre-pregnancy body confidence. Each Mommy Makeover is tailored to the individual's specific needs and aesthetic goals, making it a highly personalized treatment plan.

Patients from Phoenix

One location: Natural Results Plastic Surgery operates from a single office at 7930 E Thompson Peak Parkway, Suite 101, Scottsdale, AZ 85255. This page describes drive time and route from Phoenix to that office.

Phoenix is the central city of the Phoenix metropolitan area, located west of Scottsdale. The practice is accessible from most Phoenix neighborhoods via the Loop 101 (Pima Freeway) and State Route 51 (Piestewa Freeway). Drive time varies significantly by Phoenix neighborhood, patients from north-central Phoenix areas like Moon Valley typically reach the office faster than those from downtown or south Phoenix.

Drive time: approximately 25 to 45 minutes from Phoenix to the Natural Results office at 7930 E Thompson Peak Parkway in North Scottsdale, via Loop 101 / SR-51 / I-17 depending on origin, approximately 22 miles.

Primary route. Phoenix patients typically reach the office via State Route 51 (Piestewa Freeway) north to Loop 101 east, then to Thompson Peak Parkway. From central Phoenix, this route runs roughly twenty-two miles and twenty-five to forty-five minutes depending on time of day.

Alternate route. From north-central Phoenix neighborhoods like Moon Valley or Sunnyslope, Cave Creek Road or Tatum Boulevard north to Shea Boulevard east then Loop 101 north is often faster than the freeway during rush hour.

On the day of your visit. Because Phoenix spans a wide range of drive-time distances to the office, from twenty-five minutes off-peak from north-central neighborhoods to forty-five minutes from downtown or south Phoenix, patients from farther-out areas often schedule morning appointments to avoid PM freeway congestion.

Surgical Techniques

How Dr. Mata Tailors the Procedure

The surgical techniques Dr. Mata uses are tailored to suit the specific conditions of each body area the patient wants to enhance. The procedure is fully customizable to your needs and goals.

Breast. Typical concerns post-pregnancy are sagging and loose skin, along with a decrease or increase in breast volume. Depending on individual needs, options include breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift, and/or breast lift with implants. Often a combination, such as breast augmentation paired with a lift, is used to achieve a youthful, balanced appearance.

Lower Body. Common concerns include loose skin, surface irregularities like stretch marks, and stubborn fat deposits. These are normally addressed with liposuction and a no-drain tummy tuck to trim away excess skin and re-position the remaining skin. The no-drain tummy tuck allows faster recovery, reduces the risk of complications, and gives better results.

Add-on. Because every mom is different, it's common to have an add-on specifically chosen for her. One of the most common add-ons is the Brazilian Butt Lift to increase and shape the buttocks and hips.

Candidacy

Who's a Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

Healthy women who do not plan to have another pregnancy and have tried their best to recuperate their post-pregnancy shape through diet and exercise, to no avail, are the best candidates for the Mommy Makeover.

The Mommy Makeover procedure can be done as soon as 6 months after being done breastfeeding. After the surgery, you will be able to have another pregnancy, but your results may be altered. For long-lasting results, pregnancy after the procedure should be avoided.

05
Stretch Marks & Scars

Stretch Marks & Scars After a Mommy Makeover

Stretch marks may be reduced when the excess skin is removed, and the tightening of skin and underlying tissues often makes these marks less noticeable. Any remaining stretch marks might become less prominent post-surgery through skin rejuvenation treatments like laser therapy and chemical peels.

While the procedure creates a beautiful new shape and figure, it does involve some scarring, most commonly associated with the breast lift and tummy tuck portions. Dr. Mata refined his scar techniques during his military training, and takes extra care to create clean incisions and minimize scarring. Scars resulting from this surgery are typically positioned so they can be easily hidden by swimsuits or underwear.

Recovery

What to Expect

Every patient heals at their own pace. These milestones offer a realistic roadmap based on hundreds of procedures performed by Dr. Mata.

    Most patients can return to non-strenuous work within 2-3 weeks. Some swelling and numbness may persist. Avoid straining, bending, or lifting.

  3. Follow-Up

    Attending all follow-up appointments with Dr. Mata is crucial, they allow him to monitor healing, check for infection, and remove stitches and dressings when appropriate.

  4. 3-6 Months

    Recovery is gradual. Full results from the tummy tuck portion are visible after 3-6 months as swelling resolves.

04Why does Dr. Mata use the no-drain tummy tuck for Mommy Makeovers?+

The no-drain tummy tuck allows faster recovery, reduces the risk of complications, and gives better results compared to traditional drain-based techniques.

05Who is the ideal candidate?+

06Can I add a BBL to my Mommy Makeover?+

Yes. The Brazilian Butt Lift is one of the most common add-ons, used to increase and shape the buttocks and hips.

07Can a Mommy Makeover remove C-section scars?+

A tummy tuck, frequently included in a Mommy Makeover, can either remove or significantly improve the appearance of C-section scars. The success depends on the scar's location and size. During a tummy tuck, excess skin is removed and the abdominal area is tightened; if your C-section scar is within the skin being excised, it can be completely removed. If the scar is outside this area, its appearance may improve as the skin is stretched and repositioned.

08Can a Mommy Makeover treat stretch marks?+

Stretch marks may be minimized during tummy tuck when the excess skin is removed, depending on their placement. Remaining stretch marks might be minimized after surgery.

09What is the best age to have a Mommy Makeover?+

There's no specific 'best age.' The right time depends more on your health, family plans, and how long it's been since your last pregnancy. Your body must fully recover from childbirth before undergoing surgery.

10When can I return to exercise after a Mommy Makeover?+

Most patients can return to a normal routine in 2-3 weeks, but exercising and lifting are not recommended until at least 6-8 weeks after surgery. It may take from 6 months up to a full year for the complete results of the Mommy Makeover procedure to become visible.
