Mommy makeover candidate? (Photo)

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.
