Mommy Makeover

The Mommy Makeover is a combination of surgical procedures designed to enhance the two areas most affected by pregnancy: the abdomen and breasts. Pregnancy often leads to skin laxity in these regions, sometimes accompanied by stretch marks. Additionally, many women experience a separation of the abdominal muscles, which can result in a rounded appearance and a weakened core.

Type of anesthesia: generally epidural block and sedation | Duration: variable

All in one

The procedure typically combines liposuction, a tummy tuck, breast augmentation (with or without implants), and/or a breast lift. The specific approach depends on the condition of the skin, the amount of fat in these areas, and the desired outcome.

Surgeon evaluation

Every patient is unique in terms of body shape, skin condition, fat volume, and, most importantly, their desired surgical outcome. Therefore, a thorough evaluation with your surgeon is essential to design a personalized surgical plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Recovery Journey

Recovery time: 2-3 weeks
Most sutures are absorbable and do not require removal. If any sutures need to be taken out, Dr. Rios will provide instructions on the appropriate timing.
In some cases, drains are placed and are removed once fluid output decreases to 30 ml per day or less.
To prevent complications, it is recommended to avoid strenuous activities and exercise for at least 2 to 3 weeks.
Final results typically take 3 to 6 months for the breasts and 6 to 9 months for the body, though significant changes can be seen immediately after surgery.
Proper scar care is essential to ensure optimal healing, including protecting them from sun exposure, friction, and irritation.
Maintaining a healthy diet post-surgery is crucial, as excessive weight gain can diminish or obscure the results.
Compression garments should be worn 24 hours a day for a minimum of 4 weeks to support healing and enhance outcomes.
