Dr Rafael Camberos Offers Mommy Makeover Surgery

Dr. Rafael Camberos, board-certified plastic surgeon, offers mommy makeover surgery.

Dr Rafael Camberos, the founder of Plastic Surgery Tijuana, offers mommy makeover surgery to help women reclaim their pre-baby body.

Mommy makeovers, at Plastic Surgery Tijuana, are popular cosmetic procedures that improve the appearance of areas most affected by childbearing such as loose skin, stretch marks, sagging breasts, and more.

If you’ve had a baby, you know how much pregnancy and breastfeeding can change your body. While it’s possible to lose the “baby weight” through diet and exercise, lifestyle changes can’t tighten loose skin or lift the breasts.

With a mommy makeover, Dr. Rafael Camberos can help you get your pre-baby body back.

Dr. Rafael Camberos can help address the effects of childbearing, restoring a woman’s pre-baby shape or even improving upon it through personalized procedures for the breasts and body

How can a mommy makeover benefit me?

Pregnancy can leave lasting—and often unwanted—effects on your appearance, such as sagging breasts, stretched abdominal muscles, and loose, excess skin.

Many women are discouraged when their breasts and body do not return to their pre-pregnancy shape, even with a healthy diet and exercise.

By addressing unwanted changes of pregnancy and restoring the appearance you desire, a mommy makeover can help you feel more like yourself, improving your comfort and self-confidence.

Each patient has her own personal goals with her mommy makeover, which often include one or more of the following:

  • Correct sagging and restore volume to breasts
  • Improve breast symmetry
  • Repair stretched or large nipple/areola
  • Remove excess, sagging skin from the abdomen
  • Repair stretched or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
  • Reduce pockets of diet- and exercise-resistant fat
  • Improve the way clothing and swimsuits fit

When should I have a mommy makeover?

Determining the right time for a mommy makeover is largely a personal decision between you and your cosmetic surgeon; however, there are certain factors to consider when timing a mommy makeover and choosing the procedures you will have.

  • You must be fully recovered from childbirth before undergoing surgery.
  • If you are considering breast surgery, you should wait until several months after you are finished breastfeeding to allow the breasts to return to a stable size and shape.
  • Certain non-surgical treatments, such as injectables, may not be recommended while you are still breastfeeding.
  • Typically, it is best to wait until you are finished having children before undergoing surgical “lifting” procedures, such as tummy tuck, breast lift, or lower body lift surgery; if you plan to become pregnant again in the future, non-surgical body contouring and skin treatments can be cost-effective options for interim treatments.
  • If you are having a surgical mommy makeover, you will not be allowed to lift anything over 5-10 lbs. for the first few weeks after surgery; you will need help with childcare during this time, especially if you have younger children.

What are my mommy makeover procedure options?

Because pregnancy and childbirth have a significant impact on the breasts and body, mommy makeovers tend to include breast enhancement and body contouring surgery.

However, your mommy makeover may include any procedures that will help you address your individual concerns.

Below are common procedures women choose to have as part of a mommy  makeover.

Life after a mommy makeover

Since mommy makeovers are personalized to a patient’s needs and goals, surgery protocols and recovery times vary.

A good rule of thumb is to expect a recovery similar to that required of the most extensive procedure you are having (in most cases, this is a tummy tuck).

Most surgical procedures restrict lifting for 4 to 6 weeks after surgery; you will need to have someone else perform tasks that require a child to be picked up or carried while you heal.

How soon your results will be final also depends on the procedures you have. Typically, patients feel comfortable and confident wearing a swimsuit within 3 months after surgery.
