I am a mother of 2. Highest weight at delivery of my second was about 215 2.5 years ago. Through diet I'm currently 130-135. Do I look like I would be a good candidate for a mommy makeover? I wonder how flat I could expect my tummy to become. I would also like to go somewhere around 550cc or more?, and I would like to have lipo on my inner and outer thighs, as well as my bottom. Based on photos are these requests achievable? I understand prices vary, is there a ballpark price range I can expect?

Answer: Mommy makeover after weight loss Thank you for your question and photos. It appears you will do well with a full TT. However, I would recommend you undergo a full TT with mesh reinforcement to help give you a flatter tummy along with a cinched waist appearance for an improved feminine silhouette. The mesh will also help you maintain your current weight as it acts like an internal girdle. I would also caution you against using >350cc breast implants. Please know that 550cc implants are very large and can increase your risk of complications associated with implants. Breast implants are not life long devices and require maintenance to keep them looking aesthetically pleasing. Risks and complications related to large implants can include: irreversible soft tissue damage, skin stretch deformities, chronic pain, nipple numbness, capsular contractures, malposition, double bubble, extrusion, etc. I hope this helps you make a more informed decision. Best wishes and kind regards,

Answer: Will I achieve good results with a Mommy makeover? Thanks for the question and photos. I think you would be a good candidate for tummy tuck surgery as well as breast augmentation surgery.Generally speaking, pregnancy can take a toll on a women's body. In order to help reverse some of the effects of child bearing, many women choose to have a "mommy makeover". A mommy makeover can involve ANY of the areas affected by pregnancy: most commonly a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and breast augmentation and/or lift (mastopexy). Other commonly requested surgical procedures include liposuction surgery and/or genitalia surgery. Generally speaking, the “ideal” patient for mommy makeover surgery is one who has completed pregnancies, is psycho socially/emotionally/financially stable, has an excellent social support system surrounding him/her, is capable of arranging enough recovery time, does not smoke and who has reached a long-term stable weight. When it comes to cost of surgery, there may be many “variables” involved. The specific surgeon's credentials/experience level (or lack thereof), the specific geographic area you are looking at, the different operations available, the location of the procedure ( quality of surgery facility), type/quality of anesthesia provider, type of breast implants… are some of the potential variables involved. You will find average costs of surgery listed on this website, and on individual plastic surgeon's websites as well. In regards to outcome of the planned procedures, more important than costs of the procedures will be careful selection of your plastic surgeon. I would suggest starting with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons. Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. ***Ask to SEE lots of examples of their work AND preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done. Be very careful with your decision-making. You will find, while doing your due diligence, that there are many different “specialties” who will offer their services to you; again, I strongly recommend you concentrate on surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. You may find the attached link, dedicated to mommy makeover surgery concerns, helpful to you as you learn more. Best wishes.
