Breast Implant Sizing for Mommy Makeover?

Thank you for the question and pictures. Based on your “starting point” I think you should have an excellent result after your planned mommy makeover operation. With all due respect, I think you will confuse yourself and your plastic surgeon if you continue to refer to “porn stars” and your friends' breasts when you discuss your goals. I would suggest that you find pictures of breast that you like as well as pictures of breasts that are too... more

To D or Double D, that is the question. Breast Augmentation, +/- Lift and Tummy Tuck

Thank you for your question and the photos. For a full and natural look, go with an implant that spans the base width diameter of your breast. For a perkier look, you can consider adding a small lift. The flattening aspect of the tummy tuck will accentuate the appearance of your breasts by contrast which is one reason why the mommy makeover is such a satisfying procedure for patient and surgeon. It is recommended that you be near the weight that you can comfortably stay... more

Breast size after implant

Thank you for your photos. Given your photos, you are a good candidate for tummy tuck and augmentation/lift. Whether you want D or DD is a personal choice. However, it is common for women to wish that they had gone larger after the surgery. Also, keep in mind bra size differs depending on different brand of bras.

Breast Implant Size with Mommy Makeover

Thank you for your question and photos. The breast augmentation and tummy tuck you are planning should go a long way towards balancing your body. I recommend you not worry about bra size because the garment industry does not standardize bras. Instead, ask your plastic surgeon if you can try on sizers with your clothes to get an idea of what you will look like and how your proportions will be. Too large an implant may make you look heavy. more

You should get good results from BA and TT

From the pictures you submitted, you should be a good candidate for breast augmentation and tummy tuck surgery. The size of implants you should have is a decision best made between you and your plastic surgeon. Usually, he or she can show you an assortment of different size implants which you may be able to try on with different size bras to see which one suits you the best. A tummy tuck can be performed at the same time as your breast augmentation.

If you think you need a lift, you do

After reviewing your photographs, I recommend you undergo an abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement to create a flatter abdomen. The increase of abdominal wall strength frequently results in weight loss and you will more likely achieve your ideal weight. After, I would then consider breast surgery. Since your breasts are too low and you have hanging skin, I recommend breast augmentation through a circumareola incision with a breast lift. Photographs show your nipples... more
