ANSWER
Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. I think a tummy tuck is an excellent option for you to address the loose skin above and below your belly button as well as tightening the lax underlying muscles. As far as the incision I would expect a longer incision in order to address the loose skin and your concerns, so discuss with your surgeon further, or seek out second opinions.

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph and returning to such great shape after your pregnancies. Nothing replaces an in-person examination of your tissues but it appears you could have a nice improvement with a mini-tummy tuck procedure to address the excess skin and lax muscles of your lower abdomen. A thorough discussion of the limitations of the procedure does need to be discussed so that you can make the best decision for you and your responsibilities.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. I would recommend either seeking additional consultations that fully inform you of your treatment options, and can give you the option of trialing various sizers in various profiles to provide you the best visual demonstration of what your outcome may approximate.

Thank you for sharing your photograph and question! It appears you will have a nice result and it is not uncommon to have swelling within the belly button that may take months to resolve. There are options at improving the swelling now, but best to ask your surgeon your options. Hope this helps.

ANSWER
Thank you for sharing your question and photograph and I am sorry that your result has not been what you anticipated. After a year, only a surgical revision will allow a meaningful change to your outcome and switching out sizes would likely be the easiest procedure. More standard views of your breasts would provide a more accurate recommendation. Seek out a series of surgeons in consultation to get the best advice.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. I do hope you are recovering well from your laparotomy! A tummy tuck would be able to remove much of the vertical scar, while repositioning any that could not be removed lower on your abdomen to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing result. Hope this helps.

ANSWER
Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. At your height you should be able to accommodate a larger implant. I would recommend seeking out additional in-person consultations with board-certified plastic surgeons who can provide you with additional options based on your desired outcome, and starting position.

ANSWER
Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. It is possible to have your mommy makeover scheduled in that timeframe and recovery will be dictated by the exact procedures you are interested in obtaining. I would seek out several in-person consultations to get the specifics for your case.

ANSWER
Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Although nothing replaces an in-person consultation to review your goal results, you would best be served by an implant and lift to maximize aesthetics and longevity of results.
