It sounds like you have a very realistic plan for getting your pre-baby body back, which is great. If a tummy tuck is something you’d like to consider to restore the tightness of your abdominal skin and muscle, it’s best to reach your target weight first through diet and exercise for maximum results. But if you’re considering a tummy tuck for the sole purpose of removing stretch marks, this may not be the best option. Only stretch marks located on the skin that is excised during a tummy tuck will be removed. I suggest consulting a board-certified plastic surgeon to an idea of what your best options might be. Good luck!

Capsular contracture occurs when excessive scar tissue builds up around your implants, becoming rigid and even painful. There are no known links between low body weight and the likelihood for capsular contracture. Some of the most common causes of capsular contracture include a leaking or ruptured implants, hematoma and the presence of bacteria in the breast implant pocket. I suggest getting a second opinion from a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your candidacy for a breast augmentation.

32A to a full C, what size implant?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
This is a great question. It can be difficult to visualize how different implant sizes might look on your body, so using various sizing tools can be very helpful. Look for a plastic surgery practice offering Vectra 3D imaging, which allows you to virtually try on different implants before choosing the right one. If this isn’t an option with your plastic surgeon, using sizer bras and photos of what your ideal shape might look like are useful, too. You’re right to want to consider how the proportions of your body will be affected by your implants, so make sure you clearly communicate these concerns with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

It’s not a bad idea at all to read up on the experiences of other women concerning their breast augmentation experience, as the more questions and concerns you can address early on in the process, the better. Keep in mind that everyone’s experience is going to be a bit different, as everyone’s body is unique to them. But in general, your board certified plastic surgeon should be able to answer your questions and concerns during your consultation. It sounds like you’re doing a great job of doing your research beforehand, but I would definitely suggest taking that information with you to your consultation. Good luck!

Thanks for your question. Although everyone will heal slightly differently, it’s recommended that you don’t reintroduce your body to strenuous physical activity, including push-ups, for at least 6 weeks post-op. Returning to exercise too quickly after your surgery can hinder your results and could put you at risk for developing complications during the healing process. It’s certainly not necessary to avoid push-ups and other exercises forever, but you do want to make sure you give your body enough time to properly heal. If your plastic surgeon is concerned with your level of physical activity, you may want to consider getting subglandular implants, which avoid the chest muscle altogether.

Growing numbers of men are seeking procedures like liposuction to feel confident and comfortable in their own skin. Liposuction for men can define abdominal muscles, sculpt the torso, enhance the upper arm definition and help to treat a double chin. I advise against traveling abroad for plastic surgery, as it can be difficult to ensure a safe procedure and optimal results. If you’re considering liposuction, work with a board-certified plastic surgeon who will help guide you through the process and tailor a procedure to meet your unique goals. RealSelf.com has a search feature that can help you to find plastic surgeons near you. Good luck!

Based on your photos, you appear to be a great candidate for a tummy tuck. Having a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon can give you the best idea of what type of results you can expect. Many plastic surgeons actually include liposuction as part of the tummy tuck procedure in order to achieve the best possible results. Although you don’t appear to have a significant amount of excess fat, some light liposuction can help you achieve better overall contours. Best of luck!

How can I self check for visceral fat?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
There is truth to the thinking that the fat that you can pinch is what may be treatable through liposuction and/or a tummy tuck. This is because the fat you can access directly beneath the skin by pinching it is the layer of subcutaneous fat that can be targeted by these procedures. It’s also the type of fat that can tend to be resistant to exercise, which is why many people rely on liposuction to help eliminate this fat. Visceral fat is the fat surrounding your organs. If your stomach appears rounded and full, even when you’re lying down, this may indicate you have a significant amount of visceral fat, which you can only get rid of through diet and exercise. A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon can help you to get a realistic expectation of your results.

As some others have said, smoking this soon after your breast augmentation can negatively affect your body’s healing process and has the potential to cause complications. Even just a few cigarettes, as you mention, is enough to cause problems. Typically, women are urged not to smoke during the weeks leading up to, as well as at last 4 weeks following their procedure. Following your plastic surgeon’s specific instructions for recovery really is key to a safe and effective breast augmentation. Best of luck!

As others have commented, every person recovers a little differently, so this will depend on your specific situation. You should discuss your recovery concerns with your plastic surgeon, as he or she can best determine if you can safely return to work this soon. If you haven’t already had your procedure, you may also want to consider discussing rapid recovery breast augmentation with your plastic surgeon. If this is something that his or her practice offers, it could help you to get back to your normal routine quicker than a traditional breast augmentation. Good luck!

Tummy Tuck with liposuction & muscle repair.

Growing up I was always the small friend.. I ate whatever I wanted, worked out hard, and had abs. I had a c-section with my first and was disgusted by the overhang on my belly and bulge. We knew we wanted another baby so I told my husband after that I was getting a mommy makeover. I had my second this past January by c-section again, and it looked worse this time around. I went and had a few consults, scheduled my appointments, and now I'm 4 days PO. I'm extremely happy so far. Before surgery I was 5'2" 168lbs. I worked out extremely hard up until my surgery date. Once I'm cleaners I'm going back to the gym! Dr. Glen Davis at Davis and Pyle Plastics was AMAZING!

$7,800Breast Augmentation

Dr. Davis is the Best!!

Dr. Davis and his staff are amazing!! I instantly booked my Breast Augmentation at my consultation 2yrs ago. He did an amazing job and gave me the natural look I was looking for. Recently I had a capsule contractor on my left breast. Wasn’t completely horrible but definitely noticeable. I was so upset because my worst fear had come true. This was not the Dr.s fault it’s just one of the risks that could happen. Going into this you know eventually you will need some kind of revision I just didn’t think it would be so soon. Dr. Davis and his staff made me feel like they really cared and answered all my questions. As of now I am one week post op and pretty much pain free! I was not expecting to feel this good so soon. Because of my capsular contracture Dr. Davis had to make a new pocket and I am so pleased with the way it turned out. Thank you Dr. Davis you’re the best!

Breast Implant Revision

Great experience with my breast revision

Excellent. I had a breast implant revision. Switching from saline to silicone implants. From the consultation to my final 12 week follow-up appointment Dr. Davis and staff exceeded my expectations. They were knowledgeable, caring, and thoughtful throughout my experience. All questions were answered promptly before and after surgery in person, on the phone, and via email. I would recommend Dr. Davis and his staff at Davis and Pyle to anyone!

Wonderful Experience

Working with Dr. Davis and his team of nurses was a wonderful experience. They made the breast augmentation process easy. It can be overwhelming with all the new information out there, but their knowledge and guidance greatly helped me make the right decisions. The new vector technology helped me decide the best size for my body. I had implants done about 10 years ago and was hoping Dr. Davis could "reshape" them and he did just that. He was able to adjust my pockets and replace my implants silicone ones above my muscle and "centered in" more for a fuller look. This made a huge difference in my overall shape and was well worth it!

$14,000Tummy Tuck

Tummy Tuck After Two C Sections!

I'll start by saying I never thought I would actually share my own before and after photos or a post. However, I was always on this site leading up to my surgery looking for "my body type" to see how that person changed afterwards. This photo is pre-op and 12 weeks after. This is also me at exactly the same weight before and after. Seems crazy right? Not 1 lb. lost, but I went from the hang over muffin top to a flat stomach. These are the pictures from the doctors office in the awful underwear, but seeing the before and after in the same pair is eye opening, especially for me! After my 2nd C Section I got down to 135 lbs. and I am 5'9". For me, that is REALLY skinny. Even then, although the before would have been better (this is +30 lbs.), I still had the stretch marks, the "hang over" (although it was smaller), I knew I would never show my stomach again. Today, I am so comfortable as me again. I am happy in my bra and underwear (my underwear don't show the scar so badly), and when the scar improves it will only get better. The pain afterwards. Yes. It is intense. You are straight up bed ridden for a week. I had to get back to work on day 6. Was I walking slower than normal, yes. Could I stand straight up when most people said that would take longer, yes, I could. Did it feel like I was going to pull the stitches and undo all of this, yes it did, but my Doctor told me to get up as much as possible, and to stand up straight to avoid back pain. I listened, and it worked. I just started back to running and exercising and it feels soooo good. It had been a while for me, once I gained the 30 lbs back I was lacking motivation, kept postponing my surgery until I was back to the weight I wanted to be and finally I just did it. I am so glad I did. Will I lose 10-15 again to get my legs back where I want them and tighten up, absolutely and quickly now that I have the body I want to work for. But if I didn't lose a single pound, I am confident in my own body again, and that makes every day better. I don't have to buy loose shirts! I can tuck in again, I can wear outfits that I love not just those that cover me. At my pre op appointment I had a last minute decision to also raise my breasts. I always thought I was pretty lucky with my chest, having a C or D depending on my weight, and I guess it was due to my bras and bathing suits they seemed perky. Wow. The before and after on those are amazing too! And if you are considering, do them both at the same time because the stomach hurts so much you don't even feel the breasts...at all! Hardest part of it all for me was not feeling like I could go conquer the world for a while after. I am a busy body, and it slowed me down. I was more tired than usual, the numbness and swelling get old after a while. I still have both, and it could be for 6 months more, but I can do what I want again, I have energy back to my normal level, and there isn't a sport or activity I feel I can't do at 12 weeks. It was so worth it. Main benefit, sex is exciting again. When you don't feel the need to cover up, you feel so good!
