From your pictures, it seems as though a tummy tuck would give you the best result.  This will get rid of the excess skin as well as the fat.  You would definitely want some liposuction at the time to give the best contour all around.  Choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with a lot of experience with body contouring, and you will do great.  Good luck.

From the pictures that you've shown, you would benefit from a tummy tuck, because it would pull down and tighten the excess skin show.  You would probably benefit form circumferential liposuction, as well.  Just choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with a lot of experience in this type of surgery, and you will do great.  Good luck.

Technically speaking, treatment of these conditions does add complexity to abdominoplasty.  That being said, treatment of rectus diastasis occurs with almost all abdominoplasties, and repair of umbilical hernia is very common, as well.  So, if you choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with a lot of experience in this surgery, it should be no problem.  Good luck to you.

It's a great question, but I still feel like the advantages of placing the implant in the submuscular position out weight any disadvantages, even in your situation.  Ultimately, putting the implant under the muscle gives the best long-term result and lowest amount of complications, even in patients with a lot of upper body (pec muscle) strength.  Just choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with a lot of experience in this surgery, and you'll do great.  Good luck!

The good news is that there is a great treatment for your problem...it's a tummy tuck.  It will get rid of exactly what you don't like and leave you with a flat, tight abdomen.  You could even add some liposuction to give you the best result.  Look for a plastic surgeon with lots of experience in this type of surgery, and you'll do great!  Good luck.

From your picture, you seem to be a great candidate for mommy makeover.  Specifically, you would do great with Tummy Tuck 360 (tummy tuck with circumferential trunk liposuction).  Concerning your breasts, you will probably need a breast lift and augmentation.  Also, due to your weight loss, you may need some tissue support with something like Galaflex.  Either way, choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with lots of experience in this type of surgery.  You're going to look great!

First, congrats on the weight loss.  That is awesome!  I agree that you should get down to your ideal weight, and then you will be a great candidate from breast augmentation and Tummy Tuck 360 (tummy tuck with circumferential liposuction of the trunk).  This will make you look incredible all the way around (from the front and back).  Be sure to seek out a board-certified plastic surgeon with lots of experience in this technique.  Good luck!

Your breasts are slightly widely situated on your chest wall, but well within normal limits.  You also have droopiness of the breast tissue with the nipple and areola below the fold under the breast.  You would be an excellent candidate from breast lift with augmentation.  If you seek out a board-certified plastic surgeon with a lot of experience in this surgery, you should have an excellent result.  Good luck.

When considering the picture that you attached, you will definitely need a breast lift with augmentation.  If you had an augmentation without a lift, you would be left with larger, but sagging breasts.  Or worse, you could end up with implants that are high, and breast tissue that is "waterfalling" off of the implant.  Seek out a plastic surgeon with lots of experience with this type of surgery, and you should get a BEAUTIFUL result.  Good luck.

It's a great question that comes up frequently.  The answer is that by 6 months post-pregancy, you abdominal wall and skin should be stable.  At this point, the need for tummy tuck, and a definitive plan can be assessed.  Be sure to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with lots of experience in the procedure.  Good Luck!
