At Mommy Makeover Tijuana, your mommy makeover surgery combines a number of plastic surgery procedures into a single effort to “turn back the clock” on a woman’s body after she has given birth and weaned her child.

With a mommy makeover, once a mother has transitioned her child away from breast milk, she can restore her body to how it was pre-pregnancy—or perhaps more to her liking—in one dramatic operation.

Depending on your unique goals and physical attributes, this comprehensive procedure can address a variety of post-pregnancy issues, such as:

• Stubborn deposits of fat on the abdomen and hips
• Stretch marks or loose skin of the abdomen or breasts
• A bulging belly or bulging abdominal muscles
• Enlarged or saggy breasts
• Loose, deflated or asymmetric breasts

The Mommy Makeover

A mommy makeover is a fairly standard combination of cosmetic surgery procedures that are performed together during a one operation: a breast lift, a tummy tuck, and liposuction (normally the tummy and lower body).

The above are, in fact, the most common plastic surgery procedures for women overall. Sometimes breast augmentation, Brazilian butt lift, and vaginal rejuvenation are also performed if necessary or desired, and women who have had a Caesarean section may opt for scar revision.

These procedures collectively address the most common effects of birthing and breastfeeding on a woman’s body: weight gain and skin stretching in the abdomen, and loss of firmness and possible “deflation” in the breasts.

The advantage of a mommy makeover is that the results are achieved all at once, and the recovery times for multiple procedures are combined.

Procedures in A Mommy Makeover

Having children invariably changes your body. Changes can occur in your belly, breasts, vagina and even your face. Typically, mommy makeovers primarily address the breasts and abdominal area to help patients achieve a flatter abdomen and fuller, more uplifted breasts.

While no two patients or procedures are identical, your mommy makeover surgery may include a combination of body procedures:

• Tummy tuck: Also called abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck can help you eliminate excess abdominal fat and skin, achieve tighter abdominal muscles, and enjoy a slimmer, flatter belly contour.
• Liposuction: One of the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures today, liposuction can remove stubborn fat and provide you with a more toned, fit figure.
• Breast augmentation: If you would like to enhance the size or shape of your breasts, breast augmentation can restore volume in your breasts, improve breast shape and correct asymmetry.
• Breast lift: If you experience significant sagging in your breasts, implants alone cannot sufficiently deliver the results you desire. A breast lift is designed to restore your breasts to their more uplifted, youthful perkiness.
• Breast reduction: Sometimes, women gain breast volume during early motherhood and are left with heavy, uncomfortable breasts that don’t diminish with nursing. Breast reduction surgery can alleviate discomfort and provide a more proportionate figure.
• Brazilian butt lift: is a specialized fat transfer procedure that augments the size and shape of the buttocks without implants. Excess fat is removed from the hips, abdomen, or lower back with liposuction, and a portion of this fat is then strategically injected into the buttocks.
• Labiaplasty: If you are self-conscious about the size or protrusion of your labia, or if you experience discomfort of the labia during exercise, sex or with certain clothing, labiaplasty can effectively correct these issues.

Mommy Makeover Candidates

A mommy makeover is a remarkably comprehensive and versatile solution for moms who want to look and feel their absolute best. However, this procedure does carry certain requirements that may prevent you from undergoing surgery.

The best way to find out if a mommy makeover is right for you is to start an online consultation with Dr. Navarro in a one-on-one, confidential consultation.

During this initial visit, Dr. Carlos Illich Navarro will take time to get to know you and your aesthetic goals. He will assess your physical condition and explain all of your treatment options.

If you do not meet certain criteria for the procedure right away, he will tell you what steps you will need to take in order to be a good candidate in the future.

Generally speaking, you may be an ideal mommy makeover candidate if you:

• Would like to restore a more youthful, fit appearance
• Are in good overall health
• Are close to your ideal body weight
• No longer breastfeed
• Have reasonable expectations for your results

Mommy Makeover Recovery

Your body’s natural healing ability and your adherence to Dr. Carlos Illich Navarro pre and postoperative instructions will greatly influence your recovery from mommy makeover surgery. Your recovery will also be impacted by the procedures included in your make over.

Generally speaking, many patients are able to return to light desk work or similar activities within a couple of weeks following surgery. Other patients require a longer period of recuperation. Restrictions on swimming or strenuous activities, such as exercise or weightlifting typically last for at least three weeks or longer, depending on your procedure and unique circumstances.

As with every surgery, your successful recovery depends on following the instructions of Dr. Navarro and keeping all of your follow-up visits. This will ensure that Dr. Navarro is closely monitoring your recovery and addressing your unique situation with the individualized attention you deserve.
