Will I Get Good Results with a Mommy Makeover? (photo)

I have my surgery scheduled for Sept 19th. I for some reason have a weird fear that I will come out looking the same, or even worse. I have a great PS, and I have total faith in him and his abilities, but I can't help it for some reason. I will be doing a BA, TT, and he does lipo with the TT on the flanks and upper stomach. So do you think I will get good results? And do you think I should ask to do lipo of my thighs?? Or will they respond to more exercise unlike my belly has? Thanks!

Do You Think I Am A Good Candidate For A Mommy Makeover?

Based on the photographs you provided, I think you make an excellent candidate for a Mommy Makeover. If you have done your due diligence and have chosen a Board Certified plastic surgeon, certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, checked out his before and after pictures, had a complete and clear explanation of each procedure, and spoken to at least one of his Mommy Makeover patients, then I think you have an excellent chance of an outstanding result.

I bet you'll be thrilled with you BA, TT and lipo

Thanks for the post and the photos. I suspect you'll get great results from the procedure you have planned. The BA will restore your volume, and the tummy tuck with treat the changes from pregnacy. I would encourage you to do the lipo on the outer thighs, b/c if you don't I suspect you'll wish you had once you've recovered. Very few patients regret having liposuction on their outer thighs, and I think this will create harmony with the overall outcome. Best of... more

Mommy Make Over Results

Your photos show that changes that your Mommy Make Over should correct: Loss of abdominal muscle support Sway back as a result of loss of muscle support Small breasts Some fat on the sides and upper abdomen. You should have a very nice result, barring a complication. What about the thigh liposuction? Optional. Discuss it with your surgeon. If time allows and the cost makes sense to you - it would be nice to do it at the same time. Best wishes! more

Mommy Makeover is associated with very high rates of patient satisfaction

Hi there- You look like you are a great candidate for a Mommy Makeover- and if you have chosen an excellent surgeon for all of the right reasons, and you are a good patient who follows all instructions carefully, I would expect you to have a great experience and outcome. Congratulations!

Based on what you have shown, you appear to be a good candidate for a mommy makeover.

Thank you for your question and the photos. Based on what you have shown, you appear to be a good candidate for a mommy makeover and will likely enjoy the benefits. It is normal to be nervous before surgery. As long as you have done your homework to make sure that your plastic surgeon is board-certified, you are a good candidate to have surgery, and had all of your questions answered. More exercise in not going to make the excess skin go away. I hope this helps. more

Nervous before mommy makover, tummy tuck and breast augmentation

A certain amount of anxiety is very normal before any procedure. You will not look the same after and should enjoy a very nice result after your procedure. Go through a mental checklist to make sure you and your surgeon have all the details worked out, breast size, abdominal scar, recovery issues, and that you have the home front prepared so you can recover with confidence.

Is your "gut" telling you something you don't want to hear?

Thanks for including photos; they really help to give better answers here, rather than vague generalizations. Your later comment indicated you have chosen an experienced, ABPS-certified plastic surgeon, and your "weird fear" that you might look the same or even worse is likely just natural and understandable 'butterflies" before surgery. With your anatomy, you should have a truly superior result with breast augmentation and tummy tuck. Make sure a muscle repair WILL... more

Nervous before surgery

You should get a great result. Your breasts have a great shape. You will get rid of all that extra skin of your lower tummy ( You probably will lose that tattoo - FYI ). It's normal to get nervous before surgery. Have faith in your surgeon. It sounds like you've done your homework. I would probably delay the extra liposuction.

Will I Get Good Results with a Mommy Makeover

As I look at your photos, I think you have every reason to expect a nice outcome of our breast enlargement and TT. You can expect noticeable improvement in both areas. As far as the thighs go, you should also expect a nice improvement there if you elect to proceed with liposuction. I don't know if they will respond to more diet and exercise, and would ask you if they have changed much so far? Thanks for the question, best wishes.

You had your gn removed too. We have the same scars. I had my done a day after my son was born. I was really sick because of it. Anywho my fear I'd that the round one in the center will look like a second bb. Let me know what happens with yours!

Gallbladder not gn:) whoops

Lisa with 3 29 Aug 2012

Thank you for all your responses! I am going with Dr Joe Gryskiewicz and I know he does great work. I think it's just nerves. I am not scared of surgery, or going under. I think it's just it's a lot of money out of our pocket and a fear of the unknown? I mean, with my c sections and gall bladder removal I knew basically what to expect and how I would look after.
