Mommy Makeover

• Mommy Makeover

This 60-year-old woman was unhappy with the sagging appearance of her breasts and the resulting excess skin and fat on her abdomen after having success with her weight loss journey.  Like many of us, no matter how effective our lifestyle changes are and how much healthy eating and exercise done there are still times when excess fat lingers that just won't disappear and loose skin that will never tighten, just like for her.  She also did not like the bulging appearance and stretch marks of her abdomen.

During her consultation with us here at The Cosmetic Surgery Clinic she decided on two surgeries at the same time which has been affectionately termed as a "Mommy Makeover" which includes an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) along with breast surgery.  In her case, she had a breast lift (mastopexy) and her abdominoplasty was done with a Fleur de Lys approach to remove skin and fat from both the horizontal and vertical dimensions.

She is very happy with her results!

For her breast surgery, she underwent a Mastopexy (breast-lift) with Volume Reduction plus liposuction.  The reduction and liposuction was done to achieve the smaller size of her breasts and the mastopexy helped to elevate the breast tissue to a higher position on the chest wall and reposition both nipples. 

Her breast size, shape and nipple position are greatly improved as seen in her "after" photos.

Many people worry about the nature of the scars and healing for Fleur de Lys abdominoplasty surgery.  As you can see in her "after" photos just 4 months later, the scars have healed nicely and are of no concern whatsoever especially when compared to the incredible amount of skin reduction and body contouring that has been achieved... which she is so very happy about! 

While there is still redness to her scars this will continue to fade over time.
