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 The best way to get upper breast volume back and correct asymmetry is 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. If you desire additional volume then fat transfers can be performed. At the same time, a tummy tuck can be done. If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: The best option for you! Hello For the abdomen, if you don't have rectus muscle diastasis, it seems that a full tummy tuck may not be necessary. Good results can be achieved with Vaser liposuction and a mini tummy tuck. There is sagging and asymmetry in the breasts. With a breast lift and implants, you can achieve both a firmer and more shapely breast. Volume asymmetry can be corrected by fat injection into the smaller breast during the same session, using an implant of a different size, or by removing tissue from the larger breast. Both surgeries can be performed in the same session.

Answer: Lift and augmentation Based on your photos alone, a breast lift and breast augmentation may be suitable for you reshape and resize your breasts, making them perkier and larger. A more aggressive lift and larger implant may be used on the smaller and saggier breast to improve symmetry. For the tummy tuck, if the majority of your fat is located just below your skin (subcutaneous) then it may be suitable. However, if the fat is visceral, then diet and exercise is a more effective option.

Answer: Mommy Makeover after Weight Loss Congratulations on your weight loss! By your photos, you look to be a great candidate for a mommy makover. I would recommend a breast lift to resture the natural position of the nipple, correct the asymmetry, as well as reducing the size of the areola. Whether or not you need an implant depends on your size goal. If you are overall happy with the volume of your smaller breast when wearing a supportive, non-padded bra, then I might recommend a breast lift (mastopexy) with an "auto-augmentation" which conserves all of your breast tissue and gives you more upper pole fullness. I typically use an absorbable mesh during these surgeries to maintain the shape over time. If you would like to be larger in volume, then you would need a lift with the addition of an implant. A breast lift (with or without augmentation), tummy tuck and liposuction of the flanks, abdomen, and sides of the breasts along with contouring of the front of the abdomen can safely be done in one step. I highly encourage you to seek out a board certified plastic surgery to get you the best results, as safely as possible. Best of luck in your aesthetic journey!
