I had an amazing experience with Dr Michael Stein. He is my Doctor for a few month's now. He did my breast reconstruction. He is such a nice person. I always look forward to my visit with him. He is a really good surgeon!
My journey began two years ago when the incredible Dr. Stein performed my first surgery, a fleur de lis tummy tuck to essentially remove my hanging stomach skin. This operation changed my life for the better. I no longer had a hanging stomach that I had to camouflage/hide daily with the help of compression garments. Post healing, I regained newfound confidence that I never had before. The results were astonishing! The second surgery Dr. Stein performed was a breast lift, augmentation and thoracobrachioplasty, where skin is removed from my arms and side of chest. The surgery went great and I am very happy with the result. I have no regrets once again because I have been taken care of so meticulously and expertly by Dr. Stein. Dr. Stein is a cut above the best! He has a saying that really resonates with me, once a patient, always a patient. To me, this means that he will always be available to answer any questions from his patients. In addition to following up regularly, Dr. Stein was always reachable twenty-four-seven in case of questions or concerns which only added to his excellent post patient care practices! I cannot stress enough how important it is to trust your surgeon. Dr. Stein is the kind of surgeon that you can trust with your life. He has a fantastic eye for aesthetics and symmetry and tells it to you straight. I‘ve attended many surgical consultations, but I have never met another doctor who is so attentive to his patient’s needs. Should you choose Dr. Stein to be your surgeon, I one hundred percent believe you will have no regrets and your expectations will be surpassed. I owe him so much and I will forever be grateful for his skilled surgeon hands but mostly for his warm heart, thoughtfulness, expertise and amazing bedside manner!
This is a difficult question to answer without seeing you in person and knowing more about your medical history. Massive weight loss patients are common in my practice. These patients usually require multiple stages to allow adequate time to heal and keep the surgeries shorter to decrease the chance of complication and the risk of a DVT/PE. I would usually recommend starting with the trunk (tummy tuck vs fleur de lis tummy tuck vs belt lipectomy). This may or may not be grouped with liposuction of the abdomen and flanks. The next step I usually do the breasts and arms together The last step I usually do the thighs. This may vary from surgeon to surgeon but from a safety perspective its usually advisable to perform these procedures in a staged fashion.
You have excess skin and fat of your abdomen and excess fat of your back. You also have breast ptosis (the nipple is below the optimal position on your breast mound). I would recommend 360 liposuction, tummy tuck and breast lift. I think this would best address your concern.
From a physical examination standpoint you are a great candidate. You have excess abdominal skin and breast ptosis (droop). This is the perfect candidate for a mommy makeover surgery. Your bilateral PEs are concerning as they put you at higher risk for DVT/PE after surgery. This requires workup from a thrombosis specialist. They will order tests to see if you have a congenital coagulopathy (inherited condition that makes you clot more often). Once they do a thorough workup they will make recommendations about your surgical candidacy and your management around surgery. Communication between surgeon and thrombosis specialist is important in your case.
Every surgeon will have a slightly different cutoff. The longer the surgery, the more procedures done and the heavier the BMI the higher chances of complications after surgery. It is therefore best practice to keep your BMI under 30 My practice is to keep all procedures less than 6 hours and for mommy makeovers I require my patients to have a BMI of 30 or less. A breast lift with implants and liposuction/abdominoplasty usually takes 4-6 hours.
Great question and you are indeed boarderline. Your nipples are positioned above your breast fold so you have no ptosis (droop). Usually this means that you do not need a lift. In your case however there is mild asymmetry with your breasts so I would probably use a donut incision (also called circumareolar incision). This will leave a hidden scar around your areola and allow me to place the implants while simultaneously raising the areola slightly and improving your symmetry.
