Mommy makeover or just breast augmentation? Do I need a Tummy Tuck? (photos)

HI,

From your photos, I think that a breast augmentation with mastopexies will give you the best look for
a more youthful appearance for your breasts.
You do have some loose skin in the abdomen and perhaps a mini tummy tuck with an umbilical float will remove some of the excess skin and also tighten up your muscles in this area.
You are in good shape and hopefully, you should have a good result with the surgery.
Please visit with a few Board certified plastic surgeons in your area to discuss your goals, your medical history and get a physical exam and see what each doctor may offer.

Best Wishes,

Dr. Christine Rodgers

I would recommend a full tummy tuck with Hi Definition liposuction and augmentation with lift to get the best results.

Thank you for your photographs. Your breast skin shows stretch marks, indicating reduced skin elasticity, as well as some ptosis of your breasts. Adding the additional weight of an implant to the breast would likely cause your breasts to descend more. Therefore a breast augmentation with a breast lift would elevate your breasts to a better position and tighten the skin over the implant, giving you with a more youthful, uplifted breast. The size of your implant would be decided between you and your plastic surgeon. Your abdominal skin also has stretch marks with loose skin below and above your belly button. A full tummy tuck, with repair of your muscles would address this most effectively. As always, an in person physical examination would help to determine exactly if these would be achievable. Seek a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to fully explain all your options. Best wishes.

Thank you for your question and photos. You are a candidate for a breast augmentation with lift an abdominoplasty. An abdominoplasty is an excellent surgery that will help tighten the abdominal muscles, which have most likely have separated from having children and excise any extra skin. It is also best to have an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question regarding getting a mommy makeover and for including photos. Congratulations on becoming a mom, now to focus on you for a little!

For breasts, selecting the most appropriate breast implant size for breast augmentation is a personal decision that ultimately you have to make. An in-person consultation with implant sizing is best.
​
It depends on your height, weight and breast base width diameter. You will want the implant to fit you and help accomplish your goals.

There is more than 1 type of tummy tuck. A full tummy tuck would get rid of all excess abdominal skin and repair the muscle if needed. I would recommend a a consultation with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon for a complete evaluation. At this consultation, be up front about your goals and ask for realistic expectations.

Best of luck!

Overall I think you would be the ideal mommy makeover candidate due to your body habitus and the fact that you are at your goal weight. The lower abdominal excess can be corrected with a mini-abdominoplasty, however you may require a full abdominoplasty to fully remove the stretch marks and to correct the rectus diastasis (muscle separation).
For your breasts, I would recommend a lift with implants. The implant will give you your upper pole fullness (cleavage) back, but you will need to reshape the lower pole of the breast to give you the best aesthetic result. This will likely require an anchor style, or "inverted T" type of incision. Specifically, I think you would benefit from a high profile or extra high profile implant in order to truly fill out your breast pocket.
Whichever method you choose, make sure to pursue treatment from a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in an accredited operating suite to ensure that you are receiving the best and safest possible care.

Dear rpartee,
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.

I would suggest meeting with a board-certified plastic surgeon, being measured and examined, and discussing your options. A mini-tuck might work well for you.

I think you would benefit from a full tummy tuck (a mini won't likely address all your laxity). Small breast implants with a periareolar lift would help shape and fill out your breasts with minimal scarring.

Hello! I would recommend a full tummy tuck to get rid of the loose skin on your abdomen, and also tighten the underlying abdominal muscles. As far as your breasts go, an implant will not eliminate sagginess. The only way to restore your breasts to a perky chest position is to have a lift. You MAY be a candidate for a Benelli or donut lift. An implant can be added for additional volume in the upper pole of the breasts.
