I'm 4 weeks from surgery now. I was supposed to have breast augmentation with mastopexy, lipo of waist and love handles, and reversed tummy tuck. However, during surgery the doctor did not tuck the upper abdomen and avoided the mastopexy. The lower abdomen tuck is OK. The implants, however, are still very high and my breasts seem to be hanging down the implants, with nipples pointing down. The upper abdomen is loose and the love handles are still puffed and soft. Will I need revision surgery?

Answer: Revision after mommy makeover Without seeing photos, it is really hard to tell. For the time being, it is too soon to undergo more surgery, but it sounds like you may need more done once everything has healed. You should give it six months.

Answer: Majority of Changes in the body Occur Within the First 6 Months Following Mommy Makeover Surgery Wound healing following mommy makeover surgery is a dynamic process that continues for up to a year following surgery. During this period, swelling slowly resolves, muscles relax, wounds regain their strength, and implants settle as gravity works. The majority of these changes occur in the first six months following surgery. After only four weeks, it’s impossible to predict whether or not you will need revisional surgery. This is especially true in light of the fact that pre and post-operative pictures aren’t available to help with this assessment. It’s concerning that both breast lift surgery and reverse abdominoplasty surgery were scheduled, but not performed. This is bothersome because you appear to have significant amounts of redundant upper abdominal skin and sag of your native breast tissue. This situation will require close monitoring. It’s therefore important that you stay in close contact with your plastic surgeon. Your surgeon should be able to evaluate your progress and take appropriate steps if they prove necessary.
