Mommy Makeover in North Miami

Ideal candidates for a mommy makeover experience postpartum changes that diet, exercise, and nonsurgical treatments can’t address.

These changes may include:

• Loose abdominal skin
• Separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
• Stubborn fat
• Sagging breasts
• Lost breast volume

When crafting your ideal surgical plan for a mommy makeover in North Miami, Dr. Salas also considers your lifestyle, healing timeline, and future pregnancy plans.

Yes. During pregnancy, the abdominal muscles can stretch and separate, causing diastasis recti. A tummy tuck, which is often part of a mommy makeover, can repair these muscles.

Diastasis recti can make the stomach look rounder or feel less firm, even with proper healthy eating and exercise efforts. This condition cannot repair itself, so undergoing surgery is the only way to reattach muscles and reduce protrusion. During your tummy tuck, Dr. Salas artfully addresses the sagging skin and excess tissue to restore your tummy’s appearance.

Recovery depends on the procedures included in your mommy makeover in North Miami and how your body heals. Most patients take around 1 to 2 weeks of initial downtime, during which they need time away from work, exercise, lifting, and busy routines. For the first few days, swelling, bruising, soreness, tightness, and limited mobility are common.

• Week 1: Many patients remain focused on rest, light walking hourly, wound care, and following postoperative instructions.
• Weeks 2 to 4: Many routine activities progressively resume, depending on healing and the procedures performed.
• Weeks 4 to 6+: Exercise and heavier activity resume at week 6 and increase gradually when cleared by the surgeon.
• For the next several months: Swelling continues to resolve, and final contours become evident.

Dr. Salas provides a detailed recovery plan and instructions after your mommy makeover. In North Miami, our team guides you through what to expect, how to care for your incisions, and when you can return to daily activities.

Dr. Salas recommends scheduling your mommy makeover once your body has had plenty of time to heal from pregnancy and breastfeeding, and once you have reached a stable weight. For some, this falls 6 to 12 months after their last pregnancy. Timing your surgery appropriately helps Dr. Salas provide safe, long-lasting results.

Dr. Salas guides you through the right timing for your procedure during the initial consultation. He assesses your health, how well you’ve recovered, weight stability, and treatment goals before recommending the safest next steps for your transformation. He never wants to rush your timeline; he wants to create a plan that helps you step into a newly refined self safely.
