A mommy makeover — usually a tummy tuck, breast procedure, and liposuction done in one surgery — is a $8,000–$20,000 decision here in the Valley, and the surgeon you pick matters more than anything else. I put this list together the same way we build everything on AZ Charged: hand-picked, no pay-to-rank, based on credentials, real patient reviews, and how long each practice has actually been operating in Arizona. Whether you’re in Chandler, Old Town Scottsdale, Central Phoenix, or out east in Mesa, there’s a strong option within a reasonable drive.
⚡ QUICK ANSWER
Who does the best mommy makeovers in Phoenix?
Our editor’s pick for a mommy makeover in the Phoenix Valley is Ciao Bella Cosmetic Surgery, a four-surgeon practice founded in 2007 with offices in Chandler and Scottsdale. Strong runners-up include Dr. Randall Craft (Phoenix), Tessler Plastic Surgery (Scottsdale), and Valley Plastic Surgery (Mesa/Glendale). Expect Phoenix-area pricing of roughly $8,000–$20,000 depending on which procedures you combine.
How we picked this list
Every practice on this page was selected editorially — nobody paid to rank, and the order reflects our own research. We looked at four things:
- Credentials you can verify — board certification through the American Board of Plastic Surgery and an active license you can check on the Arizona Medical Board site.
- Mommy makeover specialization — practices where combined tummy tuck, breast, and lipo procedures are core work, not a side offering.
- Years operating in Arizona — longevity in the Valley means a local track record you can actually look up.
- Geographic spread — options in the East Valley, Scottsdale, Central Phoenix, and the West Valley so you’re not fighting the Loop 101 at rush hour for every follow-up appointment.
The 6 best mommy makeover surgeons in the Phoenix Valley
⚡ EDITOR’S PICK
1. Ciao Bella Cosmetic Surgery — Chandler & Scottsdale
Founded in 2007 by Dr. Edgardo Zavala, Ciao Bella is one of the few Valley practices with a full four-surgeon team — Dr. Edgardo Zavala, Dr. Roberto Gonzalez, Dr. Andres Zavala, and Dr. Michael Desvigne — which means collaborative treatment planning rather than a single opinion. The Mommy Makeover is a flagship procedure here, and the practice has been featured on Valley TV including ABC15’s Sonoran Living, CBS 5, and 12 News. Two locations make it the most accessible pick on this list: the Chandler office at 2310 W Ray Rd (easy from anywhere in the East Valley) and the Scottsdale office at 10210 N 92nd St, right off the Loop 101.
What stands out for out-of-area patients: a dedicated traveling patient program with virtual consultations, plus financing options and free in-person consults. The practice also runs a charitable surgery program — a rare thing in this industry.

2. Dr. Randall Craft (CraftMD) — Phoenix
Dr. Craft is a double board-certified, Harvard-trained plastic surgeon known for a detail-oriented, patient-centered approach to combined procedures. His practice is transparent about pricing — quoting the typical Phoenix mommy makeover range of $8,000 to $20,000 — and he customizes whether the work is done in one session or two based on safe anesthesia time. A strong Central Phoenix option if Chandler or Scottsdale is a haul from where you live.
3. Tessler Plastic Surgery — Scottsdale
Dr. Oren Tessler brings an academic pedigree that’s hard to match locally: an MD-MBA from McGill, fellowship training at Harvard, faculty appointments at LSU and Tulane, and a stint as Director of Plastic Surgery at University Medical Center. He’s trained other plastic surgeons in these exact procedures. If you want a Scottsdale-based surgeon with a research and teaching background, Tessler is the one to shortlist.
4. Valley Plastic Surgery (Dr. Kyle Sanniec) — Mesa & Glendale
Dr. Sanniec is a board-certified body contouring specialist with a refreshing philosophy: he’d rather talk you out of surgery than talk you into it, and he skips trendy social-media procedures in favor of results designed to age well over 20–30 years. With offices in North Mesa and Glendale, he’s the best coverage on this list for both the far East Valley and the West Valley.
5. Elite Plastic Surgery — Phoenix
A multi-surgeon Phoenix practice where Dr. Rozbeh Torabi and team build customized mommy makeover plans around candidacy — they’re upfront that the best candidates have already gotten as far as diet and exercise can take them and aren’t planning future pregnancies. That kind of honest patient screening is a good sign in this specialty.
6. Dr. Jude LaBarbera — Phoenix
Dr. LaBarbera is a board-certified plastic surgeon with broad cosmetic surgery experience and a reputation for an artistic, individualized approach to post-pregnancy restoration covering the breasts, abdomen, waist, and buttocks. Rounds out the Central Phoenix options if you want multiple consults before deciding — which we recommend.

What does a mommy makeover cost in the Phoenix area?
Local practices quote a typical range of $8,000 to $20,000 for a Phoenix-area mommy makeover, depending on which procedures you combine, surgeon’s fees, facility fees, and anesthesia. Insurance almost never covers it since it’s cosmetic — if you’re sorting out what your plan does and doesn’t handle, our guide to health insurance in Arizona is a good starting point. Most practices on this list offer financing, and Ciao Bella and others offer free consultations, so getting two or three itemized quotes costs you nothing but time.
Recovering from a mommy makeover in Arizona heat: what locals should know
Here’s the part no national website tells you: recovery in the Valley has a season. You’ll be in compression garments for weeks, you can’t soak incisions in a pool or hot tub while they heal, and strenuous activity is off the table for roughly 4–6 weeks. Doing all that in a 113° July with monsoon humidity is miserable — which is why so many Valley patients book surgery between October and March, when walking (the main recovery activity your surgeon will prescribe) is actually pleasant.
⚡ AZ INSIDER TIP
If you’ve got a backyard pool — and out here, who doesn’t — plan your surgery date so you’re fully cleared to swim before the water hits 85° in late May. Ask your surgeon for a specific “pool clearance” date at your consult, not just a general recovery timeline. It’s the most Arizona question you can ask, and a good local surgeon will have an exact answer.
⚠️ Verify before you book
Always confirm your surgeon’s certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery and check their Arizona license status at azmd.gov. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons also maintains a surgeon-finder tool. Two minutes of verification beats years of regret — no exceptions, no matter how good the Instagram looks.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a mommy makeover cost in Phoenix?
Phoenix-area practices typically quote $8,000 to $20,000 depending on the combination of procedures (tummy tuck, breast augmentation or lift, liposuction), surgeon’s fees, facility fees, and anesthesia. Most Valley practices offer financing, and several — including Ciao Bella in Chandler and Scottsdale — offer free consultations with itemized quotes.
What procedures are included in a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover typically combines a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), a breast procedure (augmentation, lift, or reduction), and liposuction into one surgical session. Some patients add other body contouring work. The exact combination is customized at your consultation based on your goals and safe anesthesia time.
How long is mommy makeover recovery?
Most patients need 2–3 weeks before returning to desk work and 4–6 weeks before strenuous activity, with compression garments worn for several weeks. In Arizona, many patients schedule surgery between October and March so recovery walking and garment-wearing don’t collide with 110°+ summer heat.
Who is the best mommy makeover surgeon in Arizona?
Our editor’s pick is Ciao Bella Cosmetic Surgery, a four-surgeon practice founded in 2007 with offices in Chandler and Scottsdale. Strong alternatives include Dr. Randall Craft in Phoenix, Dr. Oren Tessler in Scottsdale, and Dr. Kyle Sanniec in Mesa and Glendale. We recommend consulting with at least two before deciding.
Does insurance cover a mommy makeover in Arizona?
No — mommy makeovers are cosmetic procedures, so health insurance almost never covers them unless a component has a documented medical necessity. Most Phoenix-area practices offer third-party financing instead.
