I'm 31yo, 5'2 125lbs. Have quite a bit of stretch marks which are completely pale now, but my skin is pretty lax and thin.I don't feel there's MUCH excess hanging/folding skin on my abdomen, only a small bulge just above my pelvic area.Want to remain as natural as possible.Pretty noticeable breast asymmetry, about a full cup size, which id like to correct with fat grafts from elsewhere(thighs or flanks), and to restore fullness.DO NOT want the scars from TT and breast surgeries, nor implants.
Answer: Options! From your photos you have some mild breast asymmetry and abdominal lipodystrophy, more focal to the anterior abdomen, typically definitively treated with surgery- tummy tuck with breast lift/augmentation. But based on your endorsed aversion to TT and Breast surgery scars, you still have a few options. In regards to your abdomen/flanks employing liposuction with an energy adjunct (ultrasound assisted VASER or Radiofrequency modalities such as BodyTite) to not only address the moderate adiposity but also promote skin tightening may best suit you. As for your breasts, fat grafting would be a reasonable procedure to render improved symmetry, but ultimately requires that you have enough fat harvested for transfer. I would recommend you visit a board certified plastic surgeon in your area who specializes in such procedures and can best determine your candidacy with an in-person exam.

Answer: Mommy makeover Thank you for your questions and photo. you are a great Candidate for your requested procedures. As mommy makeover operation is a combined surgery, it would be better to see your pictures to give a better consultation and quotation. We generally combine tummy tuck, liposuction and breast operations for mommy makeover but first, we need to understand your needs.

Answer: Mommy makeover Dear MegSweets, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from a tummy tuck and probably breast lift. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Non surgical procedure From your photos you have mild breast asymmetry. You can consider breast transfer to help improve this as long as you have adequate fat for transfer. BodyTite combined with Morpheus8 may be an option for skin tightening of up to 40%. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to discuss these procedures and determine if you are a good candidate.

Answer: What nonsurgical procedures would be best as an alternative to a mommy makeover and how much improvement is achievable? (Photo) Breast fat transfer is a great tool to balance breasts, improve symmetry, and gain up to one cup size in volume. In general, 200 cc per breast is typically the upper limit of fat injection recommended by most plastic surgeons. It is not that more cannot be injected; but on average, this has been determined to be the most that can be expected to live during one transfer. Multiple transfers would be required for additional cc's. In general, the abdomen and thighs are preferred donor sites but fat from other areas can be used. The fat must be injected through multiple planes in small amounts to the tissue through one tiny incision under each breast. About 50% of the fat obtains permanence. Thinner patients are outstanding candidates in my opinion, because the fat transferred is extremely resistant. Results are largely dependent upon the skill of the surgeon, his/her ability to remove fat without creating contour deformities, and your expectations. You may be able to avoid the TT, but this will depend upon your exam and the precision with which the liposuction is performed. How flat the abdomen will be will depend upon how much fat is removed from the area as well as how you heal; however, the lipo will not repair the diastasis recti. The great thing about having lipo and TT after pregnancy is that the transformation that occurs in a couple of hours in the operating room trumps any period of time in the gym.
