Post-Pregnancy Restoration in Puerto Vallarta
Mommy Makeover: restore your silhouette and firmness
A personalized combination of tummy tuck, breast surgery, and liposuction in a single surgical stage, ethically designed to reverse the bodily changes of pregnancy.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is a personalized surgical combination designed to restore body contours and tissues following pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Our philosophy prioritizes hemodynamic safety and structural balance. Combining abdominal and breast surgeries in a single operation requires strict control of operating time (we avoid surgeries exceeding 5 to 6 hours) and safe limits on fat extraction volume. We do not overload the body, and we select the appropriate combination of abdominoplasty and mastopexy with or without implants based on your baseline health.
We aim to reunite the separated rectus abdominis muscles (diastasis recti), remove excess stretched skin, and lift sagging breasts to restore a firm and proportional figure.
What changes
- ✓A flatter abdomen by skin removal and muscle plication
- ✓Repositioning and volume for sagging or deflated breasts
- ✓Definition of the waist and flanks in the same procedure
What stays the same
- •Massive weight loss (it is not an obesity surgery)
- •Skin elasticity during future pregnancies
- •The absence of scars (incisions are necessary)
What does the plan typically include?
The Mommy Makeover is customized by combining key procedures to sculpt your entire silhouette:
Complete Tummy Tuck
Removal of loose skin and stretch marks below the navel, while repair of distended rectus abdominis muscles is done via permanent internal sutures (plication).
Breast Lift and/or Augmentation
Elevation of sagging breast tissue, repositioning the nipple and areola to their ideal height, and adding silicone implants if you wish to restore volume.
Flank Liposuction
Complementary extraction of fat from the waist and lower back to refine your hourglass silhouette and highlight the abdominal results.
* Not all cases require every procedure. We strictly plan what is safe and functional for you.
You may be a candidate if...
- ✓You have excess sagging skin and stretch marks on the lower abdomen that are difficult to eliminate with diet.
- ✓Your breasts look deflated, flat, or sagging following pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- ✓A minimum of 6 months has passed since your last childbirth and you stopped breastfeeding at least 6 months ago.
- ✓You have decided not to plan any future pregnancies to maintain the long-term results.
It is advisable to evaluate alternatives if...
- •You are planning a new pregnancy in the short or medium term, which will reverse the tightening of the abdominal muscles.
- •You have an elevated body mass index (BMI) indicating severe obesity; you must lose weight before surgery for your safety.
- •You smoke actively and are unwilling to stop nicotine use, as it drastically increases the risks of skin necrosis and wound dehiscence.
How We Define Your Plan
An individualized clinical evaluation is essential. During this consultation, we analyze the degree of your rectus diastasis, abdominal skin laxity, breast sagging, and overall health profile to plan a safe Mommy Makeover.
“We aim to restore your silhouette safely. We evaluate your general health to plan a combined surgery minimizing risks.”
We assess abdominal muscle separation through direct palpation to estimate the degree of plication required.
We determine if the breasts require only an implant to restore volume or if they need skin removal and lifting (mastopexy).
We plan an efficient surgical sequence that does not exceed 5–6 hours of anesthesia, prioritizing your hemodynamic safety.
The Procedure, Explained Simply
A low horizontal incision in the pubic area (easily hidden by bikini bottoms) and the corresponding breast incisions depending on the chosen technique.
The stretched abdominal muscles are brought together and secured at the midline with high-strength, permanent sutures.
Performed under controlled and continuously monitored general anesthesia to ensure a safe combined surgery.
Requires staying at least the first night in the hospital for strict drain monitoring and intravenous pain management.
Preparing for Your Surgery
Responsible preparation is essential to optimize surgical safety and facilitate a smooth, comfortable postoperative recovery.
Recovery Timeline
Combining abdominal and breast surgeries makes the initial recovery demanding, requiring assistance at home for the first 7 days.
Days 1 to 7 — Semi-Flexed Position
You must walk slightly bent forward at the waist to avoid putting tension on the abdominal suture line. Drains will remain in place and must be measured daily. Rest in bed is required except for very brief walks.Days 10 to 14 — Drain and Suture Removal
Once fluid output is minimal, drains and external sutures are removed in the office. You can gradually begin to stand fully upright.Week 3 — Light Work Return
Return to desk jobs or sedentary work activities. You must continue wearing the abdominal binder and compression bra continuously.Months 2 to 3 — Return to Exercise & Final Results
Light cardiovascular exercise can be resumed, gradually integrating normal workouts while avoiding heavy strain on the abdomen. Swelling resolves completely during this period.

Mommy Makeover Cost: What Determines the Budget
The cost of a Mommy Makeover should not be defined generically or without a prior medical evaluation. Each surgical quote is individualized and corresponds to the specific details of your case.
During your consultation, Dr. Uriel Muñoz will evaluate your anatomy and define a tailored surgical plan. The final cost of the procedure is determined based on the following factors:
- •The specific combination of surgeries (e.g., tummy tuck + breast augmentation with implants).
- •The volume and extent of the associated body contouring liposuction.
- •Operating room fees at a certified, safe hospital.
- •Surgical team fees and postoperative follow-up consultations.
