I did it- I lost 80 lbs! Does it appear that I need a breast lift & implant or just an implant? What type of tummy tuck would be best for me? Im 33 years Old, 5 children, 5'4", 165 lbs.
Answer: Congrats! Hi @Momlifex5! Congratulations on your weight loss journey! That's amazing! I recommend a regular tummy tuck (incision more or less from hip bone to hip bone, where your fold ends) with liposuction to the flanks. That will remove the excess skin, repair your muscle laxity to give you a flatter tummy and accentuate your waist with the added liposuction. In regards to your breasts, it depends on your goals. If you only get a lift, you will go down at least a cup size. If your goal is to stay same size or maybe a little bit bigger, I recommend adding an implant. Also, an implant will give you a fuller, rounder look. Hope this helped!

Answer: Full tummy tuck Congratulations on the weight loss! A full tummy tuck would most likely be the most suitable option for you, as this would remove loose skin and fat above and below your belly button, as well as repair abdominal muscle separation if necessary. For your breasts, what are your goals? If your nipple are located below your breast fold and you want a perkier, fuller shape, then a lift would be needed. If you want larger breasts too, then implants would be needed.

Answer: Considering procedures Congratulations on your impressive weight loss! From your photos it appears you would benefit from a standard tummy tuck with liposuction for contouring. For the breasts you will have the best results from implants and a breast lift. The next step is to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation to learn more.

Answer: Lost 80 lbs- What type of tummy tuck would be best for me? Would I need a breast lift & implant or just an implant? Hi. Of course, you need an in-person evaluation to really assess things but based on your pictures, for the breasts you would need a lift in addition to implants if you are wanting to go larger. The abdomen I would recommend a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). I do a muscle repair as standard procedure for all of my tummy tucks. You could ask your specific surgeon about that. I would recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon with good experience in doing this combination of procedures, commonly referred to as a mommy makeover. Good luck and take care, Dr. Howell
