Suitable candidate for MM - what do I need done? (Photos)

Thanks for your question. From your pictures, you seem to be a good candidate for a mommy makeover - tummy tuck and breast lift with implants. I recommend scheduling a consult for a proper evaluation. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Dr. Moises Salama, board certified plastic surgeon.

Hello! In your case, our recommendation is a breast lift with implant exchange, a minor implant, in proportion to your body dimensions and abdominoplasty with muscle repair. In a second round 360 liposuction. Thank you for contacting us!

Hi! I think you are a great candidate for a MM. If the implants are too heavy and bothersome, we can definitely do an explant and breast lift. It all depends on your goals and expectations. Depending on the implant size, the removal and lift will make your breasts look significantly smaller. They will be perkier and lifted, but smaller volume. How smaller? It depends on how large your implants are right now and how much breast tissue you have. A good start, would be explant, breast lift and see how you feel with that new volume and shape. If you think they're too small, we can always add implants in the future. In regards to the abdomen, I think you are an excellent candidate for TT and MR with liposuction to the flanks. I do not like to combine lipo 360/thighs with MM due to the extent of the surgery and the recovery. I consider it safer to stage them. Hope this helped!

I would begin with your breasts. I recommend explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated 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, a tummy tuck can be performed. 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. The safe operation time is 6 hours. After these have been completed, you can consider liposuction.

Best Wishes,

Dear kiwi85,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. BAsed on your photo, it looks like you would benefit from tummy tuck and breast lift. 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.

You might consider just removing your implant s and doing a lift. A GG is just too large and heavy on your neck and shoulders and will not stay lifted. You would probably do well with a tummy tuck and liposuction. I would suggest doing liposuction first to your abdomen so more fat can be removed.

Hello darling , unfortunately it is not recommended to do all these procedures together, you could change implants and reduction and after 6 months tummy tuck and lipo 360
you are 12 years old with the implants it would be good to change them for smaller ones.

Hi,
For the most accurate advice, I would definitely recommend a consultation. In looking at your pictures, it seems that you could achieve a good result with a breast lift with or without implants depending on your goals. Implants would give you more fullness in the upper portion of your breasts but sometimes your own tissue can be rearranged to achieve this.
Your BMI as well as your medical history will be critical in determining if you are a good candidate for lipo and TT, based on your pictures, I believe you would be on first glance. A TT is best performed when patients are complete with child bearing and have reached a stable, healthy weight.

There are several concerns. Doing all of those procedures in one sitting may be too much (increased complication potential). It would be nice to know the size of your present breast implants to determine if smaller implants are necessary vs a straight breast reduction (all reductions include a lift automatically). During an abdominoplasty, there is no lipo 360 (no liposuction of the front of the abdomen as it may interfere with the blood supply to the flap), however, liposuction of the sides and lower back is performed to give you a snatched waistline. You might be able to add the upper lateral back liposuction but it would depend on your surgeons comfort zone and your medical history.
Best wishes.

From your photos it appears you would be a good candidate for the procedures that you mentioned. The implants can be removed and downsized to a volume that is more comfortable, or they can be removed without replacement. A tummy tuck will repair the diastasis and remove excess skin. The liposuction would help contour and enhance your natural curves. The next step is to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation.
