I am pre-diabetic so am I a candidate for this surgery? I really miss my self and need to know if I am being realistic with my goals for my physical look. I want a flat and tight stomach with an hourglass shape. I would also like for my breast to no longer look like the ears on Droopy dog. I'm 43 years old with 2 small children and I am not having any more children. I have been through a lot with my health(colon cancer survivor) and I just want to feel better about myself again.

Answer: Mommy Makeover Candidate Thanks for your question congratulations on being a colon cancer survivor. Your overall health is the biggest factor in determining suitability for surgical procedures. Being pre-diabetic does not necessarily exclude you from being a candidate. Treatment for your colon cancer, however, may have an impact. For example - did you have abdominal surgery and have a scar on your tummy? Was there chemotherapy or radiation treatment? Abdominal and breast surgery can be safely combined as part of body contouring makeover. It would be best to see a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive expertise in body contouring surgery and discuss your health history, surgical history, and partner with your surgeon to make a plan that can deliver safe results that meet your goals. Best wishes on getting a great result.

Answer: You should be fine with surgery as long as you control your sugars with diet and exercise You are a great candidate for a mommy makeover. You will need a lot of liposuction, a reduction/lift, and a tummy tuck. I would not do all of these together but you can discuss with your doctor how you want to approach your surgeries. I hope this has helped.
