The Aesthetica Difference
Aesthetica Plastic Surgery is a leading provider of mommy makeover procedures in Utah. With over 25 years of combined experience, our plastic surgeons have performed thousands of mommy makeovers, helping women restore their confidence through exceptional surgical results.
Our surgeons expertly utilize the latest safe and advanced technologies and techniques to achieve natural, beautiful, and aesthetically pleasing outcomes. For example, we offer VASER Liposuction—an innovative liposuction technology that uses Vibratory Amplification of Sound Energy by Resonance. This technique makes fat removal more efficient while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues, resulting in a faster, less invasive procedure with optimal results.
Our surgeons also offer Renuvion. Renuvion is a medical device that combines helium plasma and a proprietary radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate tissue contraction by carefully heating connective tissues directly beneath the skin. The Renuvion procedure promotes natural collagen production leading to continuous soft tissue tightening and rejuvenation in the months following the procedure.
Additionally, our surgeons provide several different breast implant options including the #1 chosen gummy implant collection. These implant options offer a variety of profiles and sizes to suit each patient’s unique needs. Patients will have the opportunity to try on implants during their consultation to help select the ideal fit.
Journey to Confidence
At your consultation, you will meet with our patient care team to review your medical history as well as your goals for surgery. You will then meet with your surgeon to discuss the details of the procedure, recovery and expectations as well as create a surgical plan to achieve natural, contoured results. Our office staff will provide you with a surgical quote and assist in scheduling a surgery date.
You will have a pre-operative appointment three weeks prior to surgery. At this appointment, you will sign surgical consents, discuss any last minute questions and concerns, get your pre surgery goodie bag and get further pre- and post-surgery instructions. Photos will be taken at this appointment.
You will arrive at our accredited surgery center about an hour before the procedure begins. You will meet with our incredible surgical team to get you comfortable in preparation for your upcoming procedure. The procedure typically takes about 4-6 hours after which you will recover in our post surgical recovery room until your caregiver arrives to pick you up. Patients may stay with a nurse for the first night to monitor and care for you while you recover.
After surgery, you may notice some bruising, swelling, inflammation and tenderness. It is imperative to keep proper positioning when walking and resting to minimize complications. Make sure you are walking frequently, drinking lots of fluids and getting lots of protein to aid in a smooth recovery.
Bruising and swelling will start within 1-3 days. Make sure to take your Bromelain and Arnica to minimize the effects of bruising and swelling. You may feel tightness, tingling, and numbness that should start to subside over the next couple of weeks. It is recommended to refrain from strenuous activity for 4-6 weeks following mommy makeover surgery. Patients are typically advised to wear a compression garment for 6-8 weeks to help minimize bruising and swelling. At Aesthetica, your safety and recovery are our top priorities. We provide frequent post-operative visits to monitor your progress closely and ensure optimal healing. Additionally, patients have 24/7 access to an on-call nurse for any urgent concerns or questions that may arise during recovery.
Experience the transformation, notice the difference, and embrace your renewed confidence. Patients will notice immediate results after mommy makeover surgery with optimal results appearing over the next 6-9 months as swelling subsides. Most patients feel deeply reassured in their decision to undergo mommy makeover surgery, knowing they’ve taken an important step toward achieving balance, comfort, and results that reflect their aesthetic goals.
Aesthetica Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Crofts ans his staff are amazing. I loved and am loving this experience not to mention my incredible results. This is just the beginning of my mommy makeover.
I met with two different plastic surgeons in Northern Utah before visiting with Dr. Crofts. A friend of mine referred me to him and as soon as I met with him and his great nurses I knew this was where I wanted to have my mommy makeover done. Dr. Crofts gave me guidance that I was really looking for in deciding what implant size would look best on my body. I have had five children and my breasts were deflated and pendulous. The other two doctors gave me zero help in trying to decide what breast size would look best on my body. I am 5'10" with a fairly athletic build. I have never been busty and felt nervous making such a change to my body. Dr, Kimball Crofts came in and without hesitation told me where the human eye looks when it sees a body and what is considers to be beautiful. He also had me stand to the side and explained to me how the projection of the chest should match the projection of my buttocks. If the buttocks projects out further than the chest projects out on the front, things seem off to the human eye and out of balance. The vice versa is also true. If your chest is projecting out far and you have a flat bottom that does not seem attractive to the human eye either. I was so grateful to have his help in deciding what looked best on my frame. The other doctors almost refused to give me any guidance saying that it was completely my choice and that they would do whatever I wanted. The thing was, I did not know what would look right. I did not want to look hugely augmented, but I did want to have the right amount of curve to my body. I really appreciated his honesty and help in choosing the right breast implant for my body!! Like I mentioned above, I had a mommy makeover done with Dr. Crofts. My abdominoplasty looks so great right now, and I am only three weeks out from surgery. My stomach is flat as can be and the scaring at this point looks amazing! I not only had a breast augmentation performed, I also had a breast reduction and lift performed at the same time. Like I said before, I have never been a really busty girl, but Dr. Crofts thought I would need some tissue removed from the base of my breast to make the breast and nipple placement look best after the lift. Neither of the other doctors I met with considered doing this. I really felt like a number in their offices and not like a patient they wanted to help look great. They were only going to do what I asked for and no more. Well, My breasts look great and the scaring I was so nervous about that comes with a lift are almost invisible. That was another reason that I really liked Dr. Crofts. In his gallery I could see the scars on the patients with breast lifts looked very minimal, and that is my result as well. The nurses have always been available and helpful if I ever had any questions after surgery and the service at Dr. Crofts office has been second to none. They were even so kind as to give me multiple gift cards to their spa for a massage on the areas I had liposuctioned (which look amazing by the way) and for a microdermabrasion, and for six laser hair removal treatments of my upper bikini area. Just another example of them helping to make sure that I am going to be very happy with the end results of the procedures I had performed by Dr. Crofts. These guys are awesome, you will not be disappointed!!

I was planning to wait until I was fully healed to give a 100% honest review… but honestly, I don’t even need to. The immediate results I’ve had since my mommy makeover are insane. I already feel so much more confident in my body.Dr. Curiel did such an amazing job. I’m only 3 days post-op and still can’t believe how good everything looks. I cannot wait to see the final results once I’m fully healed.And not only is his work incredible, but his bedside manner is amazing. He explains everything so clearly and makes you feel safe, understood, and completely taken care of.He has truly changed my life in the best way, and I can’t thank him enough.And dont get me started on their staff. They're all so incredibly amazing and kind. Made me feel comfortable, and at ease.
