A mommy makeover in Tijuana, Mexico offers several advantages, including restoring a pre-pregnancy body appearance, boosting confidence, and addressing common post-pregnancy concerns in a single procedure. It can also improve overall posture and core strength, while addressing stubborn fat deposits and rejuvenating breasts.
According to Dr. Illich Navarro, the founder and director of Mommy Makeover Tijuana, pregnancy and childbirth can stretch abdominal muscles and skin, leading to loose skin, sagging breasts, and excess fat. A mommy makeover can address these changes by tightening abdominal muscles, removing excess skin and fat, and restoring breast volume and shape.
One of the primary benefits of a mommy makeover is that it is all about you. During your initial consultation, you can share with your Dr. Illich Navarro some of the things you liked about your pre-pregnancy body, some of your current frustrations, and the things you would like to change.
What is a mommy makeover?
Mommy makeover surgery is not a single surgical procedure; rather, it consists of multiple procedures, which are performed at the same time. A mommy makeover typically includes abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck surgery, as well as breast lift surgery, which is often accompanied by breast augmentation surgery with breast implants.
Mommy makeover surgery can include other body contouring procedures such as thigh lift and liposuction. Women seeking mommy makeover in Tijuana, Mexico with Dr. Illich Navarro often do so for one or several of the following reasons:
To eliminate sagging abdominal skin that has lost its elasticity due to one or more pregnancies
To repair severely weakened, possibly separated, abdominal muscles due to pregnancy
To lift breasts that droop or seem flat like pancakes due to nursing
To surgically enhance breasts that have become smaller or lost volume due to nursing
At Mommy Makeover Tijuana, Dr. Illich Navarro consults with each patient before recommending an appropriate surgical treatment protocol to fit her unique physical needs and aesthetic goals.
Who is a candidate for a mommy makeover?
Candidates for mommy makeover surgery must have reasonable expectations for the outcome. The best mommy makeover candidates desire aesthetic improvement, but not necessarily perfection. In general, appropriate candidates are in sound physical and mental health, and have thoroughly considered their cosmetic goals for mommy makeover surgery.
The following individuals may not be suitable candidates for mommy makeover surgery: those who are unsatisfied with every aspect of their body; those who have unrealistic expectations for what cosmetic surgery can help accomplish (e.g., repairing a difficult marriage); individuals who are not pursuing the procedure of their own accord; and women who are pregnant, nursing or plan to become pregnant again.
The Procedure
Usually comprised of abdominoplasty, breast lift and / or breast augmentation surgery with implants, mommy makeover surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia due to the complex nature of the surgery. The entire procedure generally takes about four or five hours.
During tummy tuck surgery, Dr. Illich Navarro makes a horizontal incision in the pubic area, extending from hip bone to hip bone. He strategically positions the incision so that it is easily concealed by an underwear or bikini line. He removes excess skin, and fat if needed, before repairing the abdominal muscles. He may place internal sutures at multiple sites to secure the repaired abdominal muscles in position. The Tijuana, Mexico tummy tuck surgeon then pulls the remaining skin taut and repositions the navel to align with the flatter, newly sculpted abdominal contour. Dr. Illich closes the incision with sutures and surgical adhesive and dresses the area with bandages.
During the breast lift procedure, Dr. Illich Navarro creates an incision around the perimeter of the areola, the more darkly pigmented skin around the nipple. He also makes an incision that extends from the lower border of the areola to the breast’s natural fold before eliminating excess skin. The breast lift surgeon then tightens the remaining skin and reshapes the breast tissue, shifting the nipple to a higher position on the breast to align with the newly lifted breast shape. Dr. Illich can also insert either saline or silicone breast implants during this procedure for added volume. He closes the incisions with sutures and dresses the area with bandages.
