Hi I have loose skin on my upper abdomen. I went for a mommy makeover consult with a great surgeon. He felt I was too thin and didn’t have enough laxity to justify such a huge operation. Fair and appreciate the honesty. So what can I do? He didn’t suggest any lasers. He leans more surgical. Does anyone have any suggestions. I am 40 this year and have a 2.5 year old and 11 month old. So I had back to back babies. 5’2 and 113 lbs. Thanks.
Answer: Bellesoma Method I have seen patients like you before. One reason is the breasts have moved down with the pregnancies. Unfortunately, you have not provided a photograph of your breasts. However, there is a breast lift technique I recommend called The Bellesoma Method. This will 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 (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. This pulls the upper abdomen up and is somewhat similar to a reverse tummy tuck but it does not cross the midline.

Answer: Loose skin From the photos it appears there is some loose skin when you are bending forward but not when standing upright. This is true for most everyone. You could consider a reverse tummy tuck where the skin is pulled up with the incision under the breasts. There are pros and cons to this procedure. You can consider Morpheus8 which is performed in the office. It combines RF technology with microneedling to improve overall tone and texture. The results will depend on the quality of the skin.
