What is the Mommy Makeover?
The Mommy Makeover is a set of surgical procedures that restore the body contour affected by pregnancy, breastfeeding, and hormonal changes. It is not a standardized single surgery, but a personalized plan that Dr. Gutiérrez designs for each patient, choosing the most appropriate combination of procedures: breast augmentation or lift, abdominoplasty with or without diastasis correction, 360° liposculpture, and lipectomy.
Dr. Erika Gutiérrez evaluates each case individually to determine the safest and most effective combination of procedures, optimizing surgical time and total recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions about mommy makeovers in Bogotá
Answers from Dr. Erika Paola Gutiérrez Rodríguez, certified plastic surgeon and member of the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgeons.
How much does a Mommy Makeover cost in Bogotá?
The Mommy Makeover without implants starts at around $6.600 USD, and the Mommy Makeover with breast implants starts at $7.400 USD, depending on the type of implant the person chooses and the technology required. The final cost depends on the combination of procedures included. Dr. Erika Gutiérrez defines it during the evaluation consultation. Colombia offers international surgical quality at significantly more competitive prices than in the U.S. or Europe.
What procedures are included in the Mommy Makeover?
The Mommy Makeover is a personalized plan. It generally combines breast augmentation or lift, abdominoplasty with diastasis correction, 360° liposculpture, and lipectomy. Dr. Gutiérrez defines the most suitable combination according to the anatomy and goals of each patient. There is no standard package: each Mommy Makeover is designed for the specific requirements of each case.
Can all the procedures be done in a single surgery?
Yes. The Mommy Makeover is designed to perform all procedures under a single general anesthesia, which reduces accumulated anesthetic risks, total recovery time, and costs. The duration varies between 4 and 6 hours depending on the combination. Dr. Gutiérrez assesses during the evaluation that the surgical time is safe for each patient.
How long does recovery from a Mommy Makeover take?
The initial recovery for non-physical daily activities is 10 to 14 days. Return to work in sedentary jobs occurs between weeks 2 and 3. High-impact physical activity is resumed starting from month 3. The final result is achieved between 3 and 6 months postoperatively. The use of a compression garment is mandatory during the first 6 to 8 weeks.
What is diastasis recti and how is it corrected in a Mommy Makeover?
Diastasis is the separation of the rectus abdominal muscles that occurs during pregnancy. It creates a protruding abdomen that does not respond to exercise. In the Mommy Makeover, Dr. Gutiérrez corrects it through a plication (suture) of the abdominal muscles during the abdominoplasty, restoring the abdominal wall and significantly reducing the waist.
When are the final results of the Mommy Makeover visible?
Results are visible from the first weeks, but the definitive result is appreciated between 3 and 6 months, when the inflammation has completely subsided and the tissues have healed. The implants take their final position and the abdominal skin fully adapts to the new body contour.
Is a Mommy Makeover safe in Colombia?
Yes. Dr. Erika Gutiérrez is a certified member of the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgeons. The procedures are performed in accredited clinics in Bogotá with international safety protocols, specialized anesthesiologists, and complete postoperative follow-up.
Can I get a Mommy Makeover if I'm planning another pregnancy?
It is not recommended. The results of the Mommy Makeover can be affected by a subsequent pregnancy, especially the abdominoplasty and the correction of diastasis. It is recommended to wait until the maternity plan is completed before undergoing the procedure to ensure lasting results.
When can I return to work after a Mommy Makeover?
In sedentary jobs, most patients can return between 10 and 14 days post-operation. For physical jobs, the return is evaluated on a case-by-case basis, generally between weeks 4 and 6. The use of a compression garment is mandatory during the first 8 to 10 weeks.
Do you accept international patients for Mommy Makeovers?
Yes. Dr. Erika Gutiérrez treats patients from Colombia, Latin America, the United States, Canada, and Spain, among others, with logistical coordination for medical tourism. The website is available in Spanish, English, and French.
