Want to improve look of breasts and remove excess skin - Am I a good candidate for a Mommy Makeover? (photos)

It is important for patients to be at a safe BMI prior to surgery. As BMI increases, complication rates increase as well. There are calculators online you can use to determine where you are at currently. I generally require patients to be at BMI under 30 prior to most surgeries.

Based on your photos, you look like an excellent candidate for a breast lift (with or without an implant, tummy tuck and liposuction 360. I would recommend scheduling a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. I have attached a video and hope that it will help to answer some questions.

Thank you for your question regarding how to improve your breast and abdomen with a mommy makeover. A mommy makeover will significantly improve your breast and abdomen. First, I would concentrate on weight loss. Further weight loss will improve the results of your tummy tuck and abdominoplasty. Further weight loss should ideally reduce more visceral fat or inner abdominal fat.
This will make your tummy stick out less. Once you have lost more weight and your weight has been stable for 3 to 4 months then I would suggest a mommy makeover. Your mommy makeover will consist of an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck, breast lift or mastopexy, and breast augmentation. Let’s focus on what your tummy tuck during a mommy makeover would entail.

This would entail elimination of excess skin and fat of the lower abdomen, re-creation of the belly button, mons or pubic or FUPA region, and rectus abdominis muscle plication. During the breast portion for your mommy makeover, I would suggest breast augmentation. I would suggest augmentation with breast FDA approved breast implants. The size of the breast implants will be determined by what breast size you want to become. This is done through extensive time with you in the office sizing and viewing the different size implants. Based on the size implants you choose, as well as the shape of the breast you desire, these factors will determine the type of breast lift that will be required. I would anticipate you either need a lollipop or an anchor breast lift or mastopexy. During a lollipop and anchor mastopexy, an incision is made around the areola and down the front of the breast. With an anchor mastopexy, the incision is extended underneath the breast to ask achieve a fuller lift. I hope this helps explain your optimal results. So in conclusion, lose weight, maintain your weight, and then seek a mommy makeover with a tummy tuck, breast lift, and breast augmentation. I hope this helps to answer your question regarding a mommy makeover. Good luck.

Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.
