Current Stats: 33F, 5'6" 168 lbs My ultimate goal is to wear a bikini which I've never been able to do. At my fittest, I was 140-150 lbs so that's the goal I currently have set but I always had stubborn fat and loose skin above my belly button and when I bend over due to struggling with weight issues since childhood. I most recently weighed 220 lbs and am now 168. Am I a good candidate for a MM? If so, what would be a good target weight or other goals I should keep in mind beforehand?
Answer: Mommy makeover Thank you for submitting your question and including photos! There isn't necessarily a target weight that you need to aim and achieve. As long as your weight is stable then you would be a good candidate for a mommy makeover procedure. I would not want to operate while your weight is increasing or decreasing. I recommend scheduling a consult appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself so we can create a surgical plan that is best for you and your goals.

Answer: Perfect Candidate for Transforming Mommy Makeover! Sincere516755, Thank you for your photos and excellent questions! You are a great candidate for a mommy makeover. Ideal candidates are women in good health, who have completed their families, are at least 6 months postpartum, and want to restore or improve their pre-pregnancy body shape. The stubborn fat seems to be located mainly in your midsection. Mommy makeovers improve the shape of your breasts, and most likely a tummy tuck with liposuction will improve your midsection. Keeping your body mass index around 30 would be good. Every surgeon has different cutoffs regaurding BMI. ESJ Aesthetics will accept anyone under a BMI of 34. All your questions can be answered underneath the "Mommy Makeover" tab linked below!

Answer: Good Candidate for Mommy Makeover Thank you for your question and photos. You have lost 50lbs and congratulations. If your weight is stable, then you are ready for a tummy tuck, and a breast enhancement procedure. Your breast are not visible, but with a large weight loss, you likely will require a implant combined with a breast lift. This can be done in conjunction with a tummy tuck. Good luck.

Answer: Good job!!! Hello Sincere516755!It appears, you are definitely a candidate for a MM, if you want one! You have already done an excellent job achieving a healthier weight and it appears you have been working out--that is fantastic. You are young and well on your way to your goal of 140-150, and that seems to be reasonable and achievable. At our office, we suggest scheduling your consultation when you are at or close to your goal weight and we chat with you ahead about what a good goal weight is. This is important for the surgeon to see exactly what you want to address and for the best outcome. An abdominoplasty might be a reasonable procedure to explore at that time. Ask your surgeon where he anticipates your incision being, but likely you will find a bikini you feel confident in. Good job and best wishes.
