Do I need a Mommy Makeover? Or would I need a combination of lipo, TT, and breast aug? (Photo)

Hi. There may be different definitions out there but in general a mommy makeover refers to some form of breast enhancement done along with abdominal enhancement, as those are the 2 areas that often see a lot of changes after pregnancies and childbirth. In your case, based on your pictures, I would say that you are a good candidate for breast augmentation mastopexy which means implants in addition to a breast lift, as well as abdominoplasty and liposuction of the flanks. Those procedures can be done separately, or they can be done together which is what I would refer to as a mommy makeover. I think it is worth inquiring with the surgeon that you end up seeing about the rectus diastases, but I do rectus plication in about 99% of the abdominoplasties that I do because I feel that it is a very important part of the contouring benefit of a tummy tuck (by tightening the abdominal wall), so I would strongly recommend that. I would recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon with good experience in all of these areas, especially doing them together.
Good luck and take care,
Dr. Howell

Based on your photos, I would suggest a breast augmentation combined with liposuction of your abdomen and flanks (lower back). I would also suggest a mini-abdominoplasty to tighten the lower abdominal tissue after the liposuction. This could all be performed with one procedure. Good luck!

Hello, I am Dr. Salvador Garcia from Guadalajara Mexico, my recommendation for you is to perform a Tummy Tuck, with internal corset (muscle repair), this can be with non-absorbable suture if you have a desire to get pregnant, I also recommend performing 360 lipo , and in your breast put implant below the muscle and reconstruct with an inverted T Matopexy or peri-areolar Mastopexy.

You are young, never had children, and from the picture you have pretty good skin quality I do not see why you would need to undergo a rectus diastasis repair if you have not had children. I believe you would have a great result with liposuction of your abdomen and waist possible back bra roll. If you wear the garment for 12 weeks after surgery, 24/7 with lipofoam, most of your skin should be retract. If not, you can have a minimal skin excision where you had your C-section scar. At some point you will need a breast lift but perhaps wait till after you have children, if you are planning on having children.If you do not plan to have children, you can undergo a breast lift with fat grafting to the right breast for symmetry

Dear EKBekb,
Thanks for your question. Based on your photos, you may be a good candidate for a mommy makeover with breast lift +/- implants, tummy tuck, liposuction. You would have to ge in good good general medical health and meet other general criteria. I recommend you see a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in body contouring and mommy makeovers for further information.

Thank you for sharing your pictures. Based on your description, you are indeed a great candidate for liposuction and a tummy tuck to address the abdominal area. This would help contour the abdomen and address any concerns related to the scar. As for the breasts, the decision to pursue breast augmentation entirely depends on your aesthetic goals and the look you're aiming to achieve. It's important to have an in-depth consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and tailor the procedures to your specific desires and needs.

I think the main issue is the term "Mommy Makeover". Every mommy makeover is different and there is no specific definition for a mommy makeover. You should seek in person consults so that you can have a discussion about what procedures are right for you.

Thank you for your question regarding whether you need a mommy makeover or a combination of liposuction, tummy tuck, and breast augmentation.
After examining your profile view, it appears that your abdomen protrudes not solely due to fat but because of weak rectus muscles. In this case, liposuction alone will not resolve the issue. I strongly recommend a tummy tuck to address the weak rectus muscles and achieve a flatter abdomen.
Regarding your breasts, breast augmentation is a suitable option if you desire it. A breast lift may also be considered in conjunction with the augmentation to further enhance your results. It's worth noting that body proportions may change after a tummy tuck, so you may wish to make a final decision on breast augmentation after the tummy tuck.
Considering these factors, I would not recommend abdominal liposuction alone. Instead, I highly recommend a tummy tuck, and if desired, breast augmentation and a breast lift. Combining these procedures can yield more comprehensive and satisfying results.
I hope this response has addressed your question regarding whether you need a mommy makeover or a combination of procedures. Best of luck with your decision.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Thanks for your question! Unfortunately, without seeing you in person, I can't give you an exact answer. I do think you will need a lift in conjunction with your implants. Whether or not you need a tummy tuck would need to be answered in person. Best of luck!

Dear EKBekb729,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

From the photos you shared, a tummy tuck with liposuction will definitely improve the contour of your abdomen. It is hard to know whether or not you have a diastasis that needs repair without an exam, but since you have never had children, it is unlikely you have one. It is also difficult to tell if you have lower abdominal skin excess or stretch marks. If you don't, then liposuction alone may achieve your goal. If your goal is to have larger breasts, then a breast augmentation will achieve that goal, although it looks like you have good breast volume and a breast lift alone will re-distribute your breast volume into a more youthful position.
