A Tijuana mommy makeover is a procedure for women who want to restore the appearance of their bodies before pregnancy. The whole package usually consists of body contouring and breast enhancements that can bring back your beautiful body.
At Mommy Makeover Tijuana, under the guidance of Dr. Carlos Illich Navarro, we are dedicated to providing our patients with excellent results from their mommy makeovers in Tijuana.
Every woman deserves to look as beautiful as she feels, and getting your body back with a mommy makeover can help you look and feel even more beautiful and sexy.
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
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
The body undergoes massive changes during pregnancy and childbirth. The abdominal skin and muscles stretch to accommodate the baby, weight gain can create unwanted fat deposits, and breastfeeding can lead to a loss of volume and droopiness of the breasts. While every woman’s body responds to pregnancy differently, these concerns are common among new mothers.
Unfortunately, many of these changes are permanent and can negatively impact one’s self-esteem. When diet and exercise are not enough to reverse the effects of pregnancy, a mommy makeover can help you reclaim your pre-baby body.
Mommy makeovers might include any combination of the following procedures: breast augmentation, breast lift (mastopexy), breast reduction, liposuction, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and vaginal rejuvenation.
Mommy Makeover Procedures
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
If you are a woman who is finished having children, and there are areas of your body that you are interested in improving, mommy makeover surgery might be right for you. Some changes in the body after pregnancy respond to exercise and diet, whereas other changes, such as loss of breast volume and excess abdominal skin, do not.
Dr. Carlos Illich Navarro will discuss your individual desires during your online consultation and help you formulate a surgical plan.
You should be in overall good health before considering any cosmetic procedure. Mommy makeover surgery is best performed once your body is close to full recovery from pregnancy. Each procedure has a slightly different healing time and restrictions, so you will want to discuss this with your surgeon before undergoing surgery.
If you are considering having more children in the immediate future or still recovering from pregnancy, it’s recommended that you wait before considering a mommy makeover.
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
One of the biggest perks of a mommy makeover is that by having multiple operations performed simultaneously, you’ll only have to go through recovery once. The healing process will differ depending on which procedures are included in your surgical plan, but you can expect to feel some discomfort, bruising, and swelling in treated areas.
Compression garments are used to help alleviate these side effects. In the weeks following your surgery, you will need to get plenty of rest and limit any strenuous activities. During this initial recovery process, it might be helpful to have someone help with childcare, household tasks, and other daily responsibilities to give your body the time it needs to heal.
Your mommy makeover results will be increasingly apparent as your recovery progresses. If your surgery includes liposuction or a tummy tuck, the slimming effects will become noticeable once the swelling has subsided. For patients that undergo breast augmentation, the new implants will take some time to settle before the final size and shape of the breasts are realized.
The recovery typically takes several weeks, with initial discomfort and swelling gradually improving over time. We encourage patients to have a close support system in place for assistance with daily tasks during the initial recovery period. As well, it’s important to follow Dr. Illich Navarro’s post-operative instructions.
