Mommy makeover candidate? (Photo)

First, congratulations on your weight loss; that is quite a feat. You would be a good candidate for a mommy makeover, which is a generic term used to describe a combination of surgical procedures that can improve body parts commonly affected by having children. This classically includes the breasts and abdomen, but can be different for each person. An abdominoplasty, liposuction and fat transfer to the buttocks (BBL) can be performed together. The closer you are to your ideal weight at the time of your surgery, the better your results will be (with a lower risk of complications).Meet with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals. Best of luck!

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photos I would say you are a great candidate for a mommy make over! An abdominoplasty would be performed to take off excess skin and fat from your abdominal area. You may add supplemental liposuction to remove fat in other areas to create a slimmer, tighter, and more contoured body. Also, a breast lift would be performed in order to lift your breast and create a beautiful and youthful shape. Please have an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

 

Thank you for sharing your photos. Based on your photos and history I would recommend a full tummy tuck with muscle tightening combined with liposuction to the flanks, back, and inner knees. I would recommends staging the breast lift and arm liposuction by 6 months to allow yourself to completely heal. Consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is recommended. Best wishes!

Based on your photos, you look like a great mommy makeover candidate. Combining procedures in this manner can have a dramatic impact on your appearance and put the finishing touches on your weight loss efforts.

There are a few things to consider regarding the timing of your procedure. First, have you reached your target weight? If so and you’ve been able to maintain this weight for at least a year, then you are ready to move forward with surgery. If not, you should wait until you have completed your weight loss efforts and have been able to maintain your target weight for a year before undergoing surgery.

Second, you will want to talk to your plastic surgeon about whether it is more effective to complete these procedures in several stages. You are looking to undergo a fairly extensive amount of plastic surgery, so it may be more effective to have these procedures spread out over several months.

Hello MommyOfTwo89,
It’s a pleasure to answer your questions! Based on your pictures I would recommend getting a VASER Liposuction with fat transfer to the buttocks (Brazilian Butt Lift) done first, an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) 6 months after you’ve completely recovered from the initial procedure, and a brachioplasty, 3-6 months afterwards. Abdominoplasty is popular following massive weight loss. After a 3-staged Mommy Makeover, you will achieve firmer and slimmer arms and abdomen, along with a fuller, beautifully rounded backside. You are most likely a good candidate for a tummy tuck if you do not smoke, are in good health (your weight is stable and your Body Mass Index (BMI) is under 30), and you are finished having children. However, based on the figures you’ve shared about your height and weight, your BMI estimate is 35.2. I would anticipate that you must consider a weight loss program before undergoing tummy tuck surgery. Good luck and may God bless you! Dr. De La Cruz. 

At
5’0 and 180 lbs, your BMI is 35, which puts you at a higher risk for
complications.  I recommend you lose
additional weight to approximately 170 lbs before you undergo surgery.  For your breasts, I recommend The Bellesoma
Method to 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 and the ability to breast feed are maintained.  After this, I recommend abdominoplasty with
mesh reinforcement if you are not planning future pregnancies.  The mesh creates a more hourglass figure
while compressing the abdominal wall, which results in early satiety and helps
maintain a reduced weight.  Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Thank you very much for this interesting question. Based on the photos and information that you provided to us, my first recommendation is tummy tuck with muscle repair to correct the sagging skin excess and fat tissue, getting a flat and stronger abdomen plus abdomen, waist, laterals and upper and lower back Intense Liposuction, to improve your body contour and get better curves, especially in your waist area, also a Dominican Butt Lift (DBL) reshaping your gluteal countour trough liposuction and transferring the fat that we get to your butt molding and improving your gluteal volume and projection.Finally, I recommend you to be treated by a board certificated plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Thank you for your question. Based on your information and photos you appear to be a great candiate for a mommy makeover. I would recommend a breast lift with or without implants, a tummy tuck and a 360 liposuction along with brazilian butt lift to optmimize your overall shape.Combination procedures are safe and very effective in the right hands.  The surgeon has to be an expert in each procedure and must have a lot of experience in performing combination procedures and can minimize the operative time.  For example, we work in a team and would take around 4-5 hours for the complete operation.  This allows us to get better results with less surgical time and less trauma.  Our patients are typically wlking the same day and tapering off of pain medications by 4-5 days.  By a week, our internattional patients are generally touring around Cartagena enjoying the  sites of this UNSECO World Heritage City.  Patients progress to unrestricted activities by 2 months, just as the final results are settling in.
Combination procedures can give powerful results but safety is key.  You definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Hello and thank you for your question. Congratulations on your weight loss.  Based on your photograph, you are a
great candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction.  This can be done
through a low and short incision, all completely below the bikini line.  The belly button can be designed to look
natural and have no scars on the exterior. 
Your muscles can also be plicated resulting in a flat abdomen.  A breast lift  with implants can be performed at the same
time for improved shape and contour of your breasts. Make sure you specifically
look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this
surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.  The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

MommyOfTwo89.  Congratulations on your weight-loss, however I would first continue on this track until you can lower your BMI closer to 30. This will allow your surgeon to be more aggressive with redundant skin removal and make the operation safer as well. At that point I would consider staging your mommy makeover. Do the BBL first, followed up six months later by the Tommy tuck and breast surgery. Again, a safer route. Be certain to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!
