Mommy makeover - what procedures would you recommend after 75 pound weight loss? (Photos)

Question

I am 40 y/o 5’2 158lbs. Ive struggled with having excess weight around my midsection my whole life mostly due to PCOS. I have recently lost around 75lbs. Would I get good results with a ex tummy tuck? I would also like my breast to be lifted. What procedure would you recommend for both?

Hello, 
Thank you for the question and congratulations on your weight loss!! The best surgery for you would be a circumferential lower body lift (includes a tummy tuck), liposuction to areas of your body, and a breast lift. 
I wish you the best

You would benefit from a few procedures and I recommend starting with your breasts first. The technique I recommend is a breast lift using The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. This will also lift the upper abdominal skin. After this is done, you will need a circumferential body lift and it can be done in 2 stages, doing the abdomen first and then the back. The abdomen may be able to be done at the same time as the breasts.

Best Wishes,

Yes! Based on your photos you are a good candidate for an extended tummy tuck. This could be performed in conjunction with liposuction 360 to help improve contour and remove some of the residual fat. For your breast you should consider a mastopexy (breast lift). Depending on your goal size you could consider adding an implant or fat grafting to increase the volume and add some cleavage. 
To optimize your long term results you should be as close to your goal weight as possible!

Hi and thank you for your question.
Based on your current body shape, I would recommend liposuction, a tummy tuck, and a breast lift to address excess fat, loose abdominal skin, and breast sagging.This combination is typically the most effective way to achieve balanced, natural results. I hope this helps.

Congratulations on your impressive weight loss!  From the photos and descriptions of your concerns you appear to be a good candidate for an extended tummy tuck with liposuction for contouring and a breast lift.  This will remove excess subcutaneous fat and skin as well as correct abdominal wall laxity.  The breast lift will remove excess skin and lift the position of the nipple for a more youthful breast appearance.  When you have met your weight loss goal and are able to maintain it, schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you.
