Mommy Makeover: Q&A
Ask a QuestionBest Options For Pre-Pregnancy Body? (photo)
Hi, I am 5'10" and weigh 195. I am 31 years old and a mother. I want my pre-pregnancy body back. I want my entire mid-section to be smaller, esp. my waist and I NEED a breast lift. (1) Is it better to have fat transferred to my breasts, rather than having implants? (2) What is the optimal weight I should have prior to surgery? (3) What are my best options?

Achieving Pre-Pregnancy Body?
Thank you for the question and pictures.
The first step would be to achieve a long-term stable way through diet and exercise; sometimes professional help with trainers or nutritionists can be helpful. Once you have achieved this goal, seek consultation with well experienced board certified plastic surgeons. Ask to see lots of examples of their work. Communicate your goals clearly.

Options to get body back
I recommend a healthy diet and regular exercise in order to not only improve how you look but also improve your health. Find a routine that you can maintain. Once you get to a level that you think you can maintain, then you can start to make changes. Fat grafting to the breast is a popular procedure today but has it's own set of issues.Make sure your surgeon discusses all of the options with you. Good luck.

Getting your pre-pregnancy body back
Hi there-
Achieving a pleasing, pre-pregnancy appearance should be quite possible for you, provided you make decisions in the best way possible.
I would recommend a bit of weight loss, in order to maximize your surgeon's ability to improve your contour. How much weight you lose is not as important as that you be able to maintain the new weight over the long term.
Fat grafting to normal, healthy breasts is NOT a procedure universally accepted as safe, and will not lift...

Gertting your Body Back
Clearly part of this equation is diet and exercise. It would be nice to know what your weight and shape were before your pregnancy. That would help with how much you should weigh now. Pregnancy leads to loss of muscle in the majority of women if not all women. If you weigh more now then you did prior to your pregnancy then you have replaced muscle with fat. It is a long way back and you need resistance training.
Once you are at your ideal weight you should...

Mommy makeover - tummy tuck and breast lift/breast implants
You are overweight but it is my opinion that a stable weight is more important than a specific number. Your breasts are covered in the photos so the question of fat vs. implant to the breast is not answerable. It depends on the breast skin envelope size and how much you need to fill it. The envelope size is reduced with a breast lift. From the photos it is clear you would benefit from liposuction of the saddle bags and an abdominoplasty. That is clearly a good option for you.

Options for Mommy Makeover
Most surgeons refer to a "mommy makeover" as a series of cosmetic surgery procedures intended to restore a woman’s figure after pregnancy. I perform these procedures as part of a “mommy makeover” for patients who want an improved figure after having children. Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can take a serious toll on a woman’s body, and many moms find that no amount of diet and exercise can restore their pre-baby figures.
Procedures commonly performed during mommy...
