Still planning to lose weight once I recover from mommy make-over. Ideally it would be great to do this b/f I have the procedure done but the drag of my front is affecting my back. Will this mess up my new stomach and breasts?
Answer: Weight loss before or after mommy makeover It would be best to be within 10-15 pounds of your target weight before surgery so that if you lose another 10-15 pounds afterwards your results will not be ruined in any way. Of course, it depends also on your size/age to begin with. If the "front" is too big and inhibits you from exercising and therefore getting to your goal you need to discuss this with your surgeon. In that case you may need to proceed knowing that a revision procedure will need to be done. There is nothing wrong with staging procedures as long as both the surgeon and the patient are comfortable with it. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Will weight loss after Mommy Makeover mess things up? Most Board Certified Plastic Surgeons would like their patients to be about their goal weight before surgery. One would rather not operate on someone, have them lose 100 lbs., and then have to do that operation again. There is a significant increase in complications in heavier patients. This includes a very high increase in the wounds, (that will be on tension in a Mommy Makeover), falling apart. Each Plastic Surgeon has their own "window" where they feel comfortable enough operating. Talk to your Plastic Surgeon. Together you will make a safe plan.

Answer: Weight loss after mommy makeover will not mess up the result. Many patients use abdominal contouring surgery as a psychological start up for further weight loss. Unless the weight loss is profound should have no significant effect on the outcome of the previous surgery.

Answer: Weight loss after Mommy Makeover - Will this mess up my new stomach and breasts? Weight loss can have less than favorable effects on the appearance depending upon the amount lost and intrinsic tissue integrity.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Weight Loss After Mommy Makeover Thank you for your question. I typically recommend that my Mommy Makeover patients be within 10-15 pounds or their goal weight, and have been stable at that weight for at least 6 months. This will give you the best aesthetic outcome. If you do plan on losing more than 30 pounds, I strongly recommend that you do so before your procedure.
