I lost 75 lbs naturally then had 2 kids. I am interested in a breast lift (if needed), breast augmentation, & tummy tuck. Am I a good candidate for these procedures? Do I need a lift? What is the best way to get upper breast volume back, and to correct my asymmetry?
Answer: Mommy Makeover Hi Vivid! Congratulations on your weight loss! 75 pounds is no small feat! Without seeing photos or examining you in person, I can't comment on your candidacy for a breast augmentation (+/- lift) and tummy tuck. Given a significant weight loss plus 2 pregnancies, I'd assume that you're likely a great candidate. As far as asymmetries, most women have some amount of asymmetry to their breasts which can be corrected during this type of surgery.

Answer: Surgical plan Thank you for your inquiry! I recommend scheduling a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself and we can create a surgical plan based on your specific goals! The only two options for adding volume to your breasts would be using implants or with fat transfer.

Answer: Mommy makeover Hello. Congratulations on your weight loss. It is difficult to provide answers to those questions without photographs. Having said that, many patients who have lost that much weight would benefit from a tummy tuck along with a breast lift. Whether or not to include a breast implant depends on your existing breast volume and your personal goals. Increased upper pole fullness can be achieved using breast implants, fat grafting or a combination of both. Another option would be auto- augmentation , a procedure that involves transfer of tissue from the lower portion of the breast to the upper of the breast. Good luck.

Answer: Mommy Makeover Given your significant weight loss and having two children, you are likely a good candidate for a mommy makeover, which includes a breast lift, breast augmentation, and tummy tuck. A breast lift can address sagging, while augmentation restores volume. To correct asymmetry and enhance upper breast volume, implants or fat grafting can be used. During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your skin elasticity, tissue quality, and overall health to recommend the best approach for achieving your desired results.

Answer: Need Pictures, Sounds Ideal While pictures and, ideally, an in person physical exam would be the best determinant, it sounds as if the mommy makeover would be the best procedure to meet all of your goals. Typically after childbearing and weight loss, breast skin must be tightened with a lift. The lift will likey fix any breast asymmetry. However, the lift really only reshapes the lower pole of the breast. In other words, it will not restore upper pole fullness. Only an implant can restore upper pole fullness in an appropriate manner. After childbearing and weight loss, the tummy tuck is likely the only way to get the abdominal contour that you need.
