Even though having children is one of life’s most precious gifts, many mothers may look at their bodies after pregnancy and feel self-conscious. While some women bounce back after having children, others find that their body is not what it used to be prior to the pregnancy:
Mommy makeover surgery with a board-certified plastic surgeon (Dr. Perez-Gurri or Dr. Onelio Garcia) in Miami, FL, can help a woman improve her appearance and confidence after pregnancy and childbirth.

The term “mommy makeover” can be defined as a specialized set of plastic surgery procedures of the body and breasts. These operations are performed in tandem to improve the physical changes that linger after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Due to the individualized nature of a mommy makeover, each mommy makeover plan is customized to match the patient’s concerns and goals.
As the stomach needs to expand to carry a baby, many women find that the appearance of their abdomen and waistline are never the same. Tummy tuck surgery and/or liposuction can be performed during a mommy makeover to provide a woman with a slimmer, more defined waistline.
Due to pregnancy and breastfeeding, many women are left with deflated and sagging breasts. Volume loss and sagging in the breasts are typical for many women post-pregnancy. Breast augmentation surgery, breast lift surgery, breast reduction, or a combination of both can provide mothers with perkier, lifted breasts.
Many mothers are self-conscious about their body, especially regarding how it looks wearing certain clothing. After a mommy makeover, women can achieve a newly rejuvenated body they feel beautiful in and can feel confident enough to reach for more revealing fashions they may have normally steered away from before.
You can improve your post-pregnancy body by discussing your concerns with our surgeons, working with them to develop a customized mommy makeover plan, and then proceeding with the best mommy makeover plan for your goals.

Tummy tuck surgery is designed to remove excess skin and fatty tissue from the abdominal area. An incision is made from hip bone to hip bone just above the pubic area. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the flaccidity of the underlying muscular abdominal wall is tightened. The remaining skin is pulled down, re-draped towards the pubic area, and sutured closed. With a tummy tuck, patients can experience a tighter midsection, restored abdominal muscles, and restored skin laxity.
Liposuction removes unwanted bulges of excess fat from any area of the body. We offer two types of liposuction methods:
A solution of saline (saltwater), a local anesthetic, and adrenaline is injected into the fatty tissues to break up the fat. A small cannula hooked to a vacuum device is inserted through small incisions in the treatment area and used to suction out the fat.
VASERlipo® is a minimally invasive body contouring liposuction technique that uses ultrasonic waves, which offers an alternative to treating difficult areas.
Breast augmentation surgery is designed to help a woman add volume and reshape her breasts. Saline or silicone breast implants are inserted through an incision either under the breasts or through the areola. A pocket is created for the breast implant either underneath the pectoral muscle (sub-pectoral) or underneath the glandular tissue (subglandular). The results are fuller, rounder, and more appealing breasts.
Breast lift surgery corrects sagging breasts by lifting them into a more youthful position. Dr. Perez-Gurri and Dr. Garcia will make an “anchor incision,” also known as an inverted-T incision, around the nipple that extends straight down to the inframammary fold. Excess skin is removed, the glandular tissue is tightened, and the breasts are reshaped. Breast implants may be used to re-establish lost volume, if preferred.
Breast reduction surgery can help a woman attain breasts that are smaller and more proportionate to her entire body. Breast reduction surgery can help a patient enhance the appearance of her breasts, relieve tension in her upper back, and improve her self-image. Incisions will be made in an anchor pattern and then excess glandular tissue and skin can be removed. The remaining tissues and skin are redistributed and reshaped.

“I was referred to Imagos by a friend and patient of Dr. Perez-Gurri. I did my research on this doctor before my initial consultation and was already impressed even before meeting him… And after I had my consultation I was 100% convinced! “
“I’ve been a patient of Imagos Plastic Surgery for quite sometime, and wouldn’t go anywhere else for my beauty treatments! I feel very comfortable at Imagos because Dr. Perez-Gurri is extremely honest, and always recommends what is best for his patients and he ALWAYS provides the most natural results!”
“I met Dr. Perez Gurri when I was 19 years old, I am now 31. Since then I have had numerous surgeries with him, breast, lipo, nose, tummy tuck. After visiting different surgeons and being very disappointed by the attention and customer service I was receiving, I finally got to Imagos plastic surgery.”

After your mommy makeover at our accredited surgical center, you will be placed in surgical garments. The anesthesiologist and nurses will closely monitor you. Dr. Perez-Gurri and Dr. Garcia will be available to assist you throughout the recovery process. You will experience some pain and discomfort. Walking around the day after surgery is recommended to minimize blood clots and promote faster healing. However, you should avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks. The majority of swelling and bruising will subside within a few weeks. Most patients are able to return to work in 10 to 14 days, in most cases. The healing process will last for the next few weeks, and your final results will be noticeable within three to six months.
Depending on the procedures performed, scarring will vary. Although not completely invisible, incisions will be inconspicuous and can be easily hidden underneath most undergarments and bathing suit fashions. Most scars will fade over time and become less noticeable.
Mommy makeover cost in Miami will depend on what procedures are performed and the time required to complete those procedures at the surgery center. We will be glad to provide you with an estimate on the day of your virtual or in-person consultation.
A good candidate for mommy makeover surgery is a woman who is done having children, is in good health, and has realistic expectations. Our surgeons will evaluate your medical history and goals to help you decide on the right procedure(s) for you.
As with all surgical procedures, the mommy makeover involves several inherent risks, such as:
The mommy makeover procedure is performed using general anesthesia. For this reason, patients undergoing this procedure will require medical clearance.
The results from a mommy makeover procedure are meant to be long-lasting; however, future pregnancies, weight fluctuations, and the natural aging process can alter results. Patients who stick to a healthy lifestyle are more likely to enjoy their results for a longer period.
