Can I Get a Mommy Makeover?

I have recently lost 50lbs and at this point weigh 165lbs. I am 5 ft even. My stomach is hanging and I often get a rash under. My breast have always been big and never bothered me but now they sag. Would it be possible to get a mommy makeover on this weight?

Best to lose some more weight first

The best candidates for a MM are within 10-15 pounds of their proper weight. At 5 feet tall, this would be much less than 165 pounds, maybe more like 125. At that point with a proper in person exam, you might be an excellent candidate but not at this point most likely.

Mommy makeover after weight loss

Thank you for the question. You are on the right track. Losing weight and then having surgery. What you need to do is get your weight more down and have it stable for a period of six months before considering surgery. What you don't want to happen is lose more weight after the surgery and that can have negative impact on the results. Congratulation on losing all that weight.

Yes, it is possible to get a mommy makeover. If you like the size of your breasts, then a breast lift and a tummy tuck would be a good combination. You may also consider focused liposuction if needed. To be sure, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery. I hope this helps.

Weight and Mommy Makeover Surgery

It is possible to have mommy makeover surgery at your current weight. With that said, I often advise patients who are planning on losing additional weight to wait until they reach their goals before seeking surgery. It sounds like you have lost a good amount of weight already. If you don’t plan on losing more or if you’ve reached a weight loss plateau, cosmetic surgery may be effective. It is important to understand that plastic surgery is no replacement for proper diet and exercise, so... more

Mommy Makeover and Weight Loss?

Mommy Makeover and Weight Loss

Congratulations on your weight loss. I would recommend a mommy makeover after your weight loss has stabilized. In other words, if you think you are going to lose > 20 lbs more, I would hold off on your procedure until you are done with losing weight. A physical exam will be needed to determine if you are a good candidate for a mommy makeover procedure. Please visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more about your options.

Mommy Makeover is possible even when slightly overwheight

Congratulations on your weight loss. You are absolutely a candidate for tummy tuck and breast reduction at your current weight. Risks of surgery such as wound complications increase with patient body weight, but good nutrition and no tobacco use can really help minimize this risk even in the somewhat overweight patients. In my practice, I find that patients lose weight more successfully after surgery because it is more efficient and easier to exercise when the... more

Mommy makeover at 5 ft. 165 lbs.

Congratulations on losing the 50 lbs so far! That is a fantastic accomplishment and you deserve to be proud. Yes, it is possible to get a procedure done at your current weight, but it is not ideal. If you were to continue losing weight the skin of the abdomen and breasts would become more lax and possible hang. This would not be to the degree you are now, but the optimal results will be obtained if closer to your goal weight. Good luck and Great job.

Mommy Makeover Weight

It would be best for you to be evaluated in consultation with a plastic surgeon board-certified by the Amercian Board of Plastic Surgery to address whether mommy makeover at your weight is appropriate.

Weight and mommy makeover

It is your level of fitness that is important for starters. Look at your diet and level of exercise and activity. If this is optimized, then your weight will be determined by your genetics and body type. A plastic surgeon can then consult with you as to what can be done to achieve your goals surgically. Some patients will be ideal candidates for certain procedures but others will be less than ideal. Robin T.W. Yuan, M.D.

Get close to ideal weight before mommy makeover

You will have a better result from a mommy makeover at a slightly lower weight. You can have the surgery now but I would consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to see how much weight loss is recommended. The tummy tuck portion of the mommy makeover will remove the excess skin and should help with your rash. The lower your weight before surgery the fewer the complications as well. Best wishes, Dr.Bruno
