The ultimate guide to Mommy Makeover in Mexicali

Last fact-checked: 10 December 2020

Mothers who want to get their pre-pregnancy bodies often find that diet and exercise only go so far. A Mommy Makeover in Mexicali is a more aggressive measure that can yield dramatic results, shaping up bums, tums and boobs. 

See how much you can save on this treatment with the help of Medical Departures. 

What Is a Mommy Makeover? 

Most women gain at least 25 pounds during each pregnancy. This additional weight is typically stored in the abdomen, breasts, lower back, hips, thighs, and buttocks. Eventually, the weight will start to shift, although fatty tissue often still remains—and even weight loss can't address the stretch marks left by pregnancy.

A combination of several plastic surgery procedures, a Mommy Makeover can be customized to meet your specific needs. Some of the most common procedures used in a Mommy Makeover include a tummy tuck, breast lift, butt lift, and liposuction.

A Mommy Makeover can provide the ideal solution to help mothers look and feel their best.

Are You a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

To determine whether you are a good candidate for this procedure, it is important to consider whether:

• You have finished having children for this life
• You are finished breastfeeding
• You are a stable weight
• You have found that parts of your body are not responding to diet and exercise (i.e., you have at least tried traditional, non-surgical methods of toning up after giving birth). 

If the answer to all of the above questions is yes, a Mommy Makeover could be the right option for you.

Why Consider a Mommy Makeover in Mexicali?

Mommy Makeovers have become increasingly popular in the United States, but for women seeking more affordable pricing and the opportunity to recover from their procedure in a relaxing environment, Mexicali offers a host of advantages. Along with pricing far more affordable than in the US, Mexico is now home to reputable clinics specializing in various plastic surgery procedures.

The fact that Mexicali can be reached conveniently by either flying or driving also makes it a preferred destination for patients traveling from the United States and Canada.

How Long Does a Mommy Makeover Take? What Is the Recovery Like?

The length of time required for a Mommy Makeover will vary based on the type and number of procedures to be performed. Since Mommy Makeovers can include a number of different body contouring procedures based on your specific needs, the amount of time required as well as recovery from your procedure varies from patient to patient:

• Some women may require breast augmentation to correct breasts that have become deflated due to pregnancy and nursing. Other women may need breast implants, while others may actually need a breast reduction.
• In the abdominal area, a procedure known as abdominoplasty may be required to tighten the muscles in the abdomen and remove excess fat and skin.
• Some women may request liposuction on the thighs, hips and back to provide improved contouring.

The length of time required for surgery will vary based on the type and amount of procedures to be performed. Depending on the procedures to be performed, it may be necessary for a Mommy Makeover to be carried out  in multiple procedures.
