The Ultimate Guide to Mommy Makeover in Philippines

Last fact-checked: 25 August 2020

Get a Mommy Makeover in the Philippines and save a fortune compared to the price you’d pay at home.

We have partnered with a growing number of world-class providers across the country that offer a range of cosmetic procedures, including surgery tailor-made to give you that pre-pregnancy body back.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

Growing in popularity, this combination of different procedures aims to reverse the physical effects that pregnancy has on the body—normally in one single session.

One of the key advantages of a Mommy Makeover is there is only one, albeit a rather uncomfortable recovery period (instead of having to endure separate recoveries for separate procedures). Moms are able to revive their figure after pregnancy with this treatment that focuses primarily on the belly and boobs, treating stretched, saggy skin caused by giving birth.

Women from all walks of life are getting Mommy Makeovers to regain their confidence. However, it is only recommended to consider this treatment if you've decided that you have finished having kids for this lifetime.

Why Get a Mommy Makeover in the Philippines?

Getting this treatment in the Philippines not only provides you with an opportunity to get treated by internationally recognized surgeons but also enables you to get this life-changing treatment at a very reasonable price. 

Apart from being a great place to go for treatment, you will discover a lot to like about the Philippines.

How Do Mommy Makeovers Work?

Although most moms are suitable candidates for Mommy Makeover, your doctor will first evaluate your physical and emotional health. You will have an initial consultation with the doctor as well as tests to ensure that you are not suffering from any major disease that could cause problems after surgery. Your procedure can begin after this planning stage.

A Mommy Makeover includes surgical procedures to:

• Remove extra fat
• Trim sagging skin
• Contour the body contouring

These surgeries normally include:

• Tummy tuck
• Breasts augmentation (lifts, implants, reduction, etc.)
• Liposuction

The procedure, however, is very much customized to your goals and desires. Get a better idea as to what's involved in a Mommy Makeover package here.

How Long Does the Surgery Take and What Is the Recovery Time?

The duration of a Mommy Makeover depends on the number of procedures required to get you back in shape. Treatment can sometimes be concluded as early as in two hours; however, in some situations, your Mommy Makeover may require multiple procedures over days or weeks.

It is very important to follow the doctor’s advice for a quick and healthy recovery after the surgery. Complete bed rest for the first two weeks gives a head start in speedy recovery. Make sure you have a healthy diet and avoid strenuous activities for up to two months to support the healing.
