Would I be a good candidate for a mommy makeover?

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a good candidate for these procedures. A evaluation of your skin laxity would help to determine what type of tummy tuck would be ideal.

Thanks so much for your question,

Determining whether you're a good candidate for a mommy makeover depends on several factors but mainly you need to be in good overall health. A mommy makeover is highly customizable, often involving procedures like a tummy tuck, breast lift or augmentation, and liposuction to address body changes after pregnancy or aging.
A good candidate should be in good health, with no conditions that could complicate surgery or recovery.
Understanding what the procedure can and cannot do, and having realistic goals for your body and appearance, is important

I recommend you to consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to make a plan that aligns your expectations

Starting with your breasts; I would recommend a mastopexy to rejuvenate your breasts. This will give you improved shape, symmetry and proportion. You would end up with a "C" cup and may not even desire an implant. If so, then augmentation can be performed in a delayed fashion with either an implant (saline for least worry factor) or fat grafting leading to a predictable, durable result. Regarding your tummy, if you do not have diastasis (stretching of the abdominal muscle), and excellent option is liposuction of your abdomen with skin excision and an umbilical transposition; much like the skin aspect of a tummy tuck. This is done with an oral cocktail of pills and local tumescent anesthesia, no drains and a dramatically less stressful recovery than a full tummy tuck. If, however, you have diastasis (assessed by physical exam), then you would need a FULL abdominoplasty with plication of the rectus muscle. But it looks like your muscles are flat and tight from your photos. I hope this helps. Thank you.

Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for a mommy makeover! As far as your breasts, the procedure will really depend on what your ultimate size goal is. If you generally like the size of your breasts (ie, do you like they look in clothing in a supportive bra), then you may only need a breast lift (mastopexy). For these patients, I do a tissue sparing technique, which essentially an auto-augmentation, conserving all of your breast tissue, but lifting the overall breast and bringing the nipple-areola to a higher, more aesthetic position. I typically use some type of absorbable mesh with this procedure to maintain the results over time. If your goal breast size is larger than your current volume, then a lift/augmentation with implants is your best bet. A tummy tuck will both remove the excess tissue of your lower abdomen as well as tighten your abdominal muscles that have likely stretched during pregnancy. I would typically perform liposuction of the flanks and upper abdomen and do abdominal etching to give a svelte, contoured, and athletic-looking result to your abdomen. Fat grafting to your hips would be a personal preference, although might not necessary after your flanks are contoured. I commonly add in liposuction to the inner an outer thighs, because who doesn’t want a thigh-gap! Best of luck in your aesthetic journey!

Thanks for your question.
You look like a great candidate for a mommy makeover! Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!

Assuming that you were a young healthy person, there should be no reason why you can’t proceed with the procedures that you wish. You should consider the following first. If you are breast-feeding you should wait six months after the last time that you breast-fed prior to considering having your breast augmentation with a breast lift. This helps to decrease the risk of complications with your implants and gives your breasts a chance to stabilize in size. From your photos, I don’t see the need for a tummy tuck, although a physical exam may clarify that, and only a small amount of liposuction should be needed and you may wish to reconsider your fat grafting to your hips, as you’re overall contour shape look excellent. The procedures that you requesting can easily be done all of the same time and this helps to give you only a single surgery as well as a single recovery and also helps to decrease your costs. Consult with a certified plastic surgeon. Best wishes.

Thank you for your photos and question! Based on your photos, you appear to be a great candidate for a mommy makeover procedure. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. I have included a video in hopes that it helps to answer some of your questions.

Hi from Istanbul!Thank you for your question. According to the information you gave us, and if it is more than 1 year after giving birth you are suitable for tummy tuck, breast lifting +/- implants and a bir fat transfer to hips dips. Breasts can be lifted up without implants if you don't want to make them bigger in volume.Best Luck!

Thank you for your question and for providing your history and photos. Based on the information you've shared, I believe you could be a good candidate for a mommy makeover, which typically includes a breast lift with implants, a tummy tuck, and possibly liposuction with fat transfer to the hips.

A breast lift (mastopexy) can elevate your breasts, while breast augmentation can increase their size and improve cleavage. Keep in mind that breast augmentation will add volume to your breasts, which may be an important factor in achieving your desired look.

A tummy tuck could be an option if you have excess skin and fat in the lower abdomen or if you have a weakened rectus muscle, which is common after pregnancy. However, based on your photos, it might be possible to achieve your goals with abdominal liposuction alone, depending on the degree of skin laxity and muscle tone. If liposuction is sufficient, you could potentially avoid the more extensive tummy tuck surgery.

Liposuction combined with fat transfer to the hips can help create a more contoured and balanced figure. Most plastic surgeons recommend performing all these procedures together to achieve the best overall result and to consolidate the recovery period.

If you are undecided about whether to proceed with a tummy tuck or just liposuction, starting with liposuction might be a good approach. It could provide the contouring you desire without the need for a more invasive tummy tuck. If additional tightening is needed later, a tummy tuck could be considered.

I hope this helps to answer your questions and provides some guidance on your suitability for a mommy makeover.

Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

It seems you are and excellent candidate for a mommy makeover. A breast lift can reposition your nipples and improve the areolar appearance as well as remove some of the extra breast tissue on the outer breast. You can then add a breast implant for upper pole fullness and a more youthful-looking breast.

I think the only way the appearance of your middle abdomen, around your bellybutton, can be significantly improved is with a tummy tuck. From your photographs, it seems your hip contour would be improved with liposuction here and the lower back. Your thighs already have a very nice contour. It would help you to consider the options if you see a board certified plastic surgeon and make a plan!
