At Fibonacci Plastica, Dr. Rigoberto Castellanos performs mommy makeover surgery for women seeking to restore their bodies after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight changes. Our clinic combines board-certified surgical expertise with full concierge support, making expert care accessible for patients traveling from across Mexico and internationally.
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a customized combination of surgical procedures designed to address the physical changes left by pregnancy and breastfeeding. Rather than undergoing multiple separate surgeries, patients can address several concerns in a single operation and recovery period.
Common combinations include a tummy tuck to repair abdominal muscles and remove excess skin, breast augmentation or a breast lift to restore volume and position, and liposuction to refine areas like the flanks, hips, or thighs. A Brazilian butt lift can also be incorporated for patients seeking a fuller posterior contour. Every plan is built around the individual patient — there is no standard combination.
Are You a Good Candidate?
Good candidates are women who are done having children, are in stable overall health, and are at or near their goal weight. Significant weight changes after surgery can affect results, so stability is important before proceeding.
Patients should be non-smokers or willing to stop smoking well in advance of surgery. Women planning future pregnancies are generally advised to wait, as subsequent pregnancies can alter results.
Plus-size patients may still be candidates depending on their overall health and goals. Dr. Castellanos evaluates each patient individually during consultation. Realistic expectations are essential to a satisfying outcome.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Surgery is performed under general anesthesia at Centro Medico Real San Jose Valle Real, a modern, accredited hospital in Guadalajara with some of the most advanced facilities in western Mexico. The procedure typically takes three to six hours, depending on the scope of the plan.
Dr. Castellanos begins with the most complex procedure first, typically the tummy tuck, before addressing the breasts and any additional contouring. Incisions are placed strategically to minimize visible scarring. Patients are monitored closely throughout surgery and during the initial recovery phase before being discharged with post-operative care instructions.
Recovery
Most patients who travel for surgery plan to stay in Guadalajara for seven to ten days before returning home, allowing for initial monitoring and follow-up with Dr. Castellanos.
The first three days involve rest, wearing a compression garment, and limited movement. Discomfort reduces significantly by the end of the first week, and light activity is typically possible shortly after. Strenuous activity and lifting are restricted for four to six weeks. Full results, including resolution of swelling, emerge over three to six months.
Scarring is expected but fades considerably over the first year with proper care. Our bilingual concierge team remains available to support you throughout recovery — both locally and after you return home.
Benefits of a Mommy Makeover
Combining procedures delivers a comprehensive restoration that individual surgeries cannot achieve on their own. Patients typically experience a flatter, more defined abdomen, lifted and rejuvenated breasts, improved body proportions, and reduced skin laxity across multiple areas. Many report meaningful improvements in confidence, clothing fit, and overall quality of life.
A single anesthesia event and a consolidated recovery are also practical advantages for mothers with limited time away from daily responsibilities.

FAQs About Mommy Makeovers
What does a mommy makeover consist of?
A mommy makeover is a customized combination of procedures that typically includes a tummy tuck, breast augmentation or lift, and liposuction. Additional procedures, such as a BBL, can be incorporated based on individual goals. Dr. Castellanos builds each plan during consultation rather than applying a fixed combination.
Does a mommy makeover include a BBL?
A BBL is not automatically included, but can be added when the patient has appropriate fat donor areas and desires a fuller posterior contour. Dr. Castellanos will assess whether combining a BBL with your other planned procedures is appropriate and safe during consultation.
How long is the recovery from a mommy makeover?
Most patients spend seven to ten days in Guadalajara before traveling home, with light daily activity typically resuming within two weeks. Strenuous activity is restricted for four to six weeks, and full results continue to develop over three to six months.
Does insurance cover a mommy makeover?
Mommy makeover procedures are cosmetic and generally not covered by insurance. If any component is performed for a documented medical reason, partial coverage may apply — our team can help clarify your options during consultation.
