I have been wanting a breast lift (already have implants) since I finished having children. I had a tummy tuck years ago before wanting children. When I got pregnant I went from 190 to 250 lbs. I've since worked hard to drop down to 180 and would like to continue to 165. I am 5'8". I would love to just get liposuction if possible of the upper/lower abdomen, sides, hips, love handles and back but I am curious if I'd need another tummy tuck at this point. Pictures attached and any advice welcome!
Answer: Considering options Congratulations on your weight loss! From your photos it appears a breast lift is indicated to remove excess skin and raise the nipple position. For the tummy I think you'd have a nice improvement with liposuction alone. Once you have reached your goal weight visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation.

Answer: Tummy Tuck or Lipo Thanks for your question. From your pictures, you seem to be a good candidate for 360 lipo, which is lipo of the upper and lower abdomen, the upper and lower back, and flanks. I recommend scheduling a consult for a full evaluation. Make sure the surgeon you choose has extensive experience with mommy makeovers and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic

Answer: Breast lift with TT or just lipo HI Emily, I agree with the need for the breast lift. I would need to see your tummy with your arms down. For now, it looks like liposuction can help you but if you want a really tight abdomen, you may need a mini type of tummy to tighten the lower half of the abdomen. Hope this helps a bit. Best, Dr. Christine Rodgers

Answer: Bellesoma Method and tummy tuck with mesh reinforcement Your breasts are too low on the chest wall. You would benefit from a breast lift using The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, 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 not injured during your previous surgery. At the same time or later, you can undergo tummy tuck, 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: Tummy tuck or liposuction Dear Emily27436, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
