Mommy makeover: Can I get away with just a mini tummy tuck and breast implants only (no lift)? (photos)

A
Affectionate205599May 9, 2023

Hello! I am 32 y.o mommy of 1. After losing all of my baby weight I am 150 pounds, I lost a lot of volume in my breasts and have loose skin on the lower half of my abdomen. I wanted to get a mommy makeover but wanted to know if I could do a mini tummy tuck for my abdomen and if I could acheive volume with an implant only, no lift?
