Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck and Breast Augmentation Requirements

A consultation including a physical examination and medical history by a board Certified Plastic Surgeon would be able to determine if you are a good candidate for a Mommy Make Over. It is best done when you are finished having kids and are near your stable body weight. As long as you are less than 10 pounds off your stable weight should not make a significant difference

Are you a good candidate for a mommy makeover

If you are done with having kids and you are healthy (ie no medical conditions that would make you a poor candidate for elective surgery), then you are likely a good candidate for a mommy makeover. Please visit with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to learn more about your options. Best of luck. Dr Basu Houston, TX

No info

Without at least a picture it is not possible to give an opinion about your breast or abdomen. Most women your age would be a good candidate for Breast Augmentation, as far as the abdomen it would be surprising to me if you would need an abdominoplasty , also are you finished with having children?

Am I a Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck & Breast Augmentation

It is difficult to tell whether you are a good candidate without a physical examination and complete medical history. It would depend on your anatomical findings, motivation, realistic expectations, and whether you are finished having children. Breast surgery could be performed whether you decide to become pregnant again or not. An abdominoplasty, either a full “tummy tuck” or a shorter incision modified procedure should be delayed until you have finished all of your pregnancies... more

Breast augmentation and tummy tuck

You are very young. However if you are not planning for more pregnancies in the future, you can combine augmentation mammoplasty with tummy tuck.

Good candidate for breast and tummy surgery?

You probably are a candidate for breast surgery, but I would advise waiting for abdominal surgery until you are sure you want no further pregnancies.

Tummy tuck and augmentation

In terms of weight and health, you are a candidate for surgery in general. Without a consultation, it's impossible to determine whether you need either of the proposed procedures and then, if so, whether this is the correct time for you to undergo them. If you have not finished having children, then it would be advisable for you to wait until your family is complete.

You need to be seen first

Your numbers are good, but you need a consultation in person to know what is best for you. Also, it is best if you are done having children before the surgery.

When is a good time to have a Mommy Make Over

When to have surgery depends on a number of factors. Four pounds most likely will not make a difference in your surgical outcome. The important consideration I believe is whether to have a tummy tuck if you are planning future pregnancies. I would ask you to wait until you are through having children because future pregnancies would stretch your tummy again and there is even some consideration for intrauterine fetal growth issues if you listen to the OB doctors. I hope this helps. Dr... more

Good candidate

Based on your description, you may be a good candidate for a mommy makeover. However, a thorough consultation is needed to understand more your lifestyle, lifestage, and objectives.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck & Breast Augmentation?

Without an examination, much less some good qiality photographs, your question cannot be answered ethically. In general, a Mommy MakeOver (Tummy and Breast surgery) works out the best when done in a woman who completed her family, is healthy, is at a stable normal weight who has realistic expectations. Losing 4 pounds is not as important as having the other factors I just mentioned. Hope this helps. Good Luck. Peter A Aldea, MD Memphis, TN
