It’s an amazing thing for women to grow life and witness the beauty and power of doing so. But after carrying babies to term and giving birth, their bodies go through numerous changes, and some of them are permanent. This can have an effect on their self-esteem, and even with massive effort, it’s challenging to return to their pre-baby looks.
If this is something you’re struggling with, then getting plastic surgery is something to consider. And if you’re on a tight budget, you can look outside of your home country too.
We highly recommend getting a mommy makeover in Mexico, where you can get top-quality results without the extremely high prices. Read on to find out more about mommy makeovers and why you should get them in Mexico.
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a term used for the package of plastic surgery procedures that target the breasts and abdomen. The goal is to restore your body to its pre-pregnancy look. What’s great about a mommy makeover is that you can pick and choose different surgeries to achieve your ideal appearance.
A mommy makeover usually includes breast augmentation using breast implants. Or you can opt for a breast lift, with or without the implants.
In addition, you’d typically combine breast augmentation with abdominal surgeries such as abdominoplasty (a tummy tuck) or liposuction of the abdomen, waist, flanks, hips, and thighs. If you choose to, you can have fat transfer done on your buttocks and hips too.
If you feel self-conscious about your more private areas, you can also get an intimate makeover. This will rejuvenate the area and boost your confidence.
If you choose to have your surgery completed by Dr. Valdez himself, he performs ultrasound-assisted liposuction (ultrasonic liposuction) and MicroAir-assisted liposuction (SafeLipo).
How Many Sessions Would It Take?
Considering that a mommy makeover is a very customized and personal thing, the number of sessions it’ll take to complete one varies. Some women can have a mommy makeover done in one session, while others will need several.
This means that it’s very important to discuss your concerns and goals thoroughly with your surgeon. That way, they can give a realistic outlook on both timelines and costs.
Is Plastic Surgery Right for Me?
Unfortunately, not everyone is a good candidate for plastic surgery. This means that there are strict parameters for mommy makeovers since they involve several procedures.
In general, you should be at your ideal weight. Also, you should have a positive attitude and realistic expectations of the mommy makeover in relation to your body’s anatomy. And most importantly, you must be done with expanding your family (no future plans to have children).
How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost?
The cost of a mommy makeover will depend on the procedures that you and your surgeon agree on. Other factors that affect cost include your surgeon’s experience and the geographic location they’re in.
If you get a mommy makeover in Mexico with Dr. Valdez, it can cost between $10,000 to $15,000. The total cost includes medical fees for the surgeon and his medical team, hospital expenses, the operating room, anesthesia, surgery-related medications, and implants.
Dr. Valdez also includes a service package. This contains post-op compression garments, labs with full bloodwork, presurgical evaluations, and post-op consultations. As you can see, he offers a very comprehensive mommy makeover experience that’ll have you feeling safe, secure, and confident.
How Do I Choose a Plastic Surgeon for My Mommy Makeover?
When choosing a plastic surgeon for your mommy makeover, make sure they’re board-certified. The surgeon should also be a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and The Aesthetic Society (TAS). These are the most important, reputable, and recognized organizations in the plastic surgery industry.
Not only should the surgeon you choose have years of experience, but they should also make you feel at ease and like you’re in good hands. You can get a feel for how they treat their patients by scheduling an initial consultation.
At this first meeting, bring your questions and concerns, and see how the surgeon responds and reacts. If they seem to have an open ear, answer your questions with expertise, and address your concerns with compassion, then that’s an excellent sign.
You should place more importance on the above factors than on the final cost of your mommy makeover. We can’t emphasize how vital it is to get a plastic surgeon who’s skilled and gives personalized care and attention to their patients.

What Should I Know Before My Mommy Makeover?

We recommend that you arrive 2-3 days before your surgery, then account for one night in the hospital afterward. We strongly suggest that you stay at least 10 days after your surgery to have adequate time to heal and get post-op checkups.
