Inspire Cosmetic Surgery and Med Spa - Delray Beach

A: A typical mommy make over address the breasts and abdomen, but the procedure is customized for each individual. If your main concerns are your breasts and labia, these procedures can absolutely be combined. Advantages are one recovery and anesthesia. Hope this helps.

A: It depends. There are different opinions on when you can engage in strenuous activity following a tummy tuck. The range is anywhere from 1 - 6 months. I typically allow my patients to return to all activity at 6 weeks, but some are still hesitant to do so. As long as you don't have any issues with healing, you should be able to do this.

A: It is difficult to accurately answer your question without a physical exam. With your height and weight, your BMI is around 38. At this BMI, your risk of complications such as blood clots, infection and wound healing issues are significantly elevated. I would suggest you attempt to lose as much weight as possible prior to proceeding with surgery.

A: It is always advisable to lose as much weight as possible before undergoing breast and abdominal surgery. An in person examination would allow your surgeon to determine how much visceral (internal) fat you have and what kind of result you can expect.

A: There will always be some skin laxity in the abdomen and flanks when bending over, otherwise we wouldn't be able to stand up completely straight. Over time, skin will weaken. The amount of time it takes to do so is different in every person. Pulling things too tight during surgery can lead to widening of the scar and wound healing issues as well. Skin should not be loose after a tummy tuck, but being able to pinch a small amount of fat or skin is reasonable in my opinion. Hope that helps.
