The Procedure

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a personalized combination of procedures that restore the body after pregnancy and breastfeeding — typically a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to flatten the abdomen and repair separated muscles, a breast lift or augmentation to restore breast shape and volume, and liposuction to refine the waist — done together, in a single recovery.

How Dr. Delgado builds yours

Your mommy makeover is built around you. Dr. Delgado may combine an abdominoplasty (full or mini), a breast lift, augmentation, or both, and 360° liposuction — performed together in one operation when you’re a good candidate, or safely staged when that’s the better choice for you. He’ll recommend the right combination after reviewing your goals and anatomy.

Why International Patients Choose Medellín

The Same Safety Standards You Expect at Home

A mommy makeover is real surgery, so the question that matters is simple: can you trust the care? With Dr. Delgado, the answer rests on globally recognized accreditation and credentials — not on price alone.

Your Trip, Step by Step

What to Expect as an International Patient

A mommy makeover is a bigger procedure than a single surgery, so plan for about ten to fourteen days in Colombia — here’s how it unfolds.

Before you fly

Virtual consultation with Dr. Delgado, a personalized surgical plan and quote, and clear pre-op instructions. Pre-op labs are arranged locally on arrival.

Day 1–2

Arrive in Medellín, settle into your El Poblado hotel, and meet the team for your in-person pre-op assessment.

Surgery day

Your combined procedures at InterQuirófanos, a JCI-accredited surgical center (about 3–5 hours). Monitored recovery, then discharge with your compression garment and surgical bra.

Day 5–14

Rest, short walks and lymphatic drainage, with post-op checks — then clearance to fly home. Avoid lifting and core or chest exercise for about 6 weeks.

Where you’ll be cared for

Your procedure takes place at InterQuirófanos, a surgical center accredited by Joint Commission International (JCI) — hospital-grade operating rooms with a dedicated anesthesiology team, held to the same global safety standards as top U.S.-facing hospitals. Consultation and post-op care are handled nearby in El Poblado.

Safety First

Is It Safe to Have a Mommy Makeover Abroad?

The honest answer: safety comes from the surgeon and the facility, not the country — and from operating within safe limits. Here’s how Dr. Delgado protects you.

JCI-accredited facility & anesthesia

Surgery is performed at InterQuirófanos, accredited by Joint Commission International, with a board-certified anesthesiologist present — never in an office or improvised "clinic" setting.

Combined safely — or staged

Dr. Delgado combines procedures only when your health and anatomy allow it, keeping operating time within safe limits. When staging is safer, he’ll tell you — your safety comes before a single-trip convenience.

Structured post-op protocol

Compression garment, surgical bra, scheduled check-ups and lymphatic care before you fly — with clear written aftercare instructions for home.

Support after you go home

Your recovery doesn’t end at the airport. The team stays reachable for questions and remote follow-up once you’re back in the U.S. or Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a mommy makeover include?
It’s a customized combination — most often a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), a breast lift and/or augmentation, and liposuction of the waist and flanks. Dr. Delgado tailors the exact mix to what pregnancy and breastfeeding changed for you, so no two mommy makeovers are identical.
Can everything be done in one surgery?
Often, yes — if you’re a healthy candidate and total operating time stays within safe limits. When combining everything at once would mean too long under anesthesia, Dr. Delgado will recommend staging it into two procedures for your safety. He decides this with you after a full evaluation.
How long is recovery?
Plan for about two weeks before flying home, and roughly six weeks before returning to heavy lifting, core or chest exercise. Most patients feel noticeably better after the first 7–10 days, with swelling settling over the following months.
Should I wait until I’m done having children?
Generally, yes. A future pregnancy can stretch the abdominal skin and muscles again and undo your tummy-tuck result. If you’re planning more children soon, Dr. Delgado will be honest with you about timing during your consultation.
Will I have visible scars?
A tummy tuck leaves a low horizontal scar designed to sit below underwear or a bikini line, and breast scars depend on the technique used. Scars are placed to stay hidden and typically fade significantly over 6–12 months with proper care.
How many days should I plan to stay in Colombia?
Plan for about 10–14 days from arrival to flying home. That covers your in-person pre-op assessment, surgery, the early recovery days, lymphatic care, and a final post-op check. A companion is strongly recommended.
How do I get a price and get started?
Book a private virtual consultation with Dr. Delgado. He’ll review your goals and photos, confirm your candidacy, and provide a personalized quote — every plan is tailored to your anatomy, so there’s no fixed online price.
