Pregnancy changes the body in powerful ways. While these changes reflect an incredible journey, many women feel less confident about their shape afterward — even after diet and exercise. That’s where the mommy makeover comes in.
This personalized surgical combination helps restore areas like the abdomen and breasts, often in a single procedure tailored to your anatomy and goals.
What does a mommy makeover include?
While every case is unique, most mommy makeovers include:
- Tummy tuck: removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles.
- Breast surgery: may include augmentation, lift, or reduction.
- Liposuction: used to contour stubborn areas like the waist, thighs, or back.
Some patients also add procedures like fat transfer to the buttocks, arm or thigh lifts, or vaginal rejuvenation, depending on their needs.
Who is a good candidate?
The best candidates are women who:
- Have completed their family
- Are at least 6 to 12 months postpartum
- Are done breastfeeding (for at least 3–6 months)
- Are in good overall health with stable weight
Non-smokers or those willing to quit temporarily also experience better healing and outcomes.
Why have surgery in the Dominican Republic?
The Dominican Republic has become a trusted destination for cosmetic surgery, especially among women from the U.S., the Caribbean, and Europe. Here’s why:
- Lower surgical costs (without lowering quality)
- Highly trained plastic surgeons like Dr. José León, MD
- State-of-the-art clinics in cities like Santo Domingo
- Options for recovery homes or hotel-based healing
Dr. León offers fully customized procedures and is known for his natural-looking results and international certifications.
What to expect after surgery
Recovery typically lasts 2 to 4 weeks, depending on how many procedures are performed. Swelling, bruising, and temporary discomfort are expected — but the confidence boost after healing makes it all worthwhile.
If you’re thinking about plastic surgery to feel like yourself again after motherhood, a mommy makeover might be the best investment in your well-being.
