Bucio's Mommy Makeover is a personalized combination surgery centered on a regular or extended tummy tuck, with optional BBL and selected breast surgery. The goal is a balanced, natural result using a standard surgical plan when possible.
This approach is commonly recommended for patients who did not have massive weight loss and mainly need abdominal repair and contour restoration after pregnancy. Candidacy depends on your anatomy, health history, skin quality and surgical goals after examination by Dr. Bucio.
Yes. Dr. Bucio may recommend a regular tummy tuck or an extended tummy tuck depending on how much skin laxity and contour correction is needed across the lower abdomen and flanks.
No. BBL is optional and only added when your donor fat, proportions and goals support a safe, harmonious result. Some patients do better with tummy tuck and breast surgery alone.
Yes. Breast augmentation, breast lift, or lift with implants can be combined with a standard tummy tuck in appropriately selected patients, helping avoid more extensive circumferential procedures that require turning the patient during surgery.
Expect swelling, bruising, tightness and gradual improvement over the first weeks. Your care plan includes follow-up instructions, compression, mobility guidance and close monitoring. Procedures are performed at VIDA with 24/7 early recovery support before travel clearance.
