Her story
After my third baby, Finn, I had a diastasis recti that no amount of running would fix. I was fit. I ran half-marathons. I ate well. None of it mattered. My core had separated during the pregnancy and the only real fix was surgery.
A plastic surgeon in Austin quoted me $26,500. Just for the tummy tuck. Drew and I sat with that number for a long time. We could have figured it out financially. But I saw exactly what it would do to us.
Then a woman in my running group mentioned, completely offhand, that she had gone to Guadalajara. I thought she was joking. She pulled out her phone and showed me her results.
I spent the next four months in every Facebook group I could find. I built a spreadsheet with 47 tabs. I read every horror story and every success story I could dig up online. I cross-checked board certifications against the Mexican medical board registry. I did a video consultation with three different surgeons. I asked one clinic to connect me with a previous patient and spent 45 minutes on the phone with her.
When I found my surgeon, I felt more confident than I had about the Austin doctor. His training was from Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara with a fellowship completed in Miami. The clinic was JCI-accredited. The operating team spoke English. The facility was cleaner than the consultation room I had sat in back home.
I flew with my sister-in-law Dana. We stayed in a serviced apartment for eleven nights. My total cost, including flights, accommodation, all aftercare, and every pharmacy run, was $7,400.
On day five of recovery I cried in the bathroom. Not because of pain. Because I finally recognised myself again.
When I posted my before-and-after in the running group, my DMs did not stop for three weeks. I sent my spreadsheet to eleven women. Four of them went. I realised there was no single place online that gave you pre-vetted, trustworthy information about international clinics without either trying to sell you something or scaring you away entirely.
I built Mommy Makeover Packages to be the resource I wished had existed. Every clinic in this directory has been reviewed against the same criteria I used for my own search.
The vetting process
Every clinic in the directory must have at least one board-certified plastic surgeon. Kasey cross-references each surgeon's credentials against their country's official medical board registry, not just what the clinic says on their website.
A beautiful website is not a safety signal. Kasey looks for JCI accreditation, Joint Commission International standards, or equivalent national hospital accreditation before a clinic makes the list.
The directory pulls verified Google reviews directly. You see the rating, the review count, and the actual patient feedback, not a cherry-picked quote the clinic chose to put on their homepage.
When Kasey matches you with a clinic, the clinic offers a no-obligation video consultation before you commit to anything. She will never connect you with a surgeon who will not talk to you first.
