I had a baby 13 weeks ago. I'm 5'7 and 120lbs. Prior to pregnancy I had abs, perkier breasts, and no saddlebags. Now 3-months postpartum I have no volume in my breasts, saddlebags, and a wrinkly ballooned midsection that's discolored. I also have a series of fibroids that need removal. Am I a candidate for a mommy makeover (with mini tuck). Are there less invasive procedures/things to consider that may reverse these issues? Can you combine laparoscopic myomectomy with a mommy makeover?

Answer: Full mommy makeover candidate? Can fibroid removal be done simultaneously? (Photo) Recommend that you address the fibroid issue with your gynecologist prior to scheduling a TT. Liposuction, combined with the TT, will allow you to have stubborn fat resistant to exercise and diet removed from unwanted areas. A TT with muscle tightening will create a flat abdomen and would also provide the benefit of placing your incision along the lower pubic region. The TT also creates a more youthful belly button. If the waist was smaller at one time, the waist can likely be reduced to those same measurements or smaller provided the muscular and fascial integrity has remained the same. I make the scar as low as possible so that it can be concealed by a bikini. Most patients need 1 to 2 weeks before returning to a sedentary activities and 6 weeks before strenuous activity.

Answer: Full mommy makeover candidate? From your photos you appear to be a good candidate for the Mommy Makeover. You will want to wait until the later of 6 months post partum or cessation of breastfeeding before having surgery. It is recommended to wait to have a tummy tuck until you have finished having children. If you have, I recommend a full tummy tuck versus a mini for you. The breasts can be lifted and you can elect to have implants if you want more volume. Liposuction can be added to the procedure to address the hips and flanks. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.
