Age: 43 Motherhood Makeover
This mother of two was interested in a “mommy makeover.” We performed a two stage procedure. The first stage was a breast reduction and liposuction. The second stage was a full abdominoplasty. Over the course of these staged procedures, she lost 24 pounds with diet and exercise. Note the dramatic overall size reduction. Her breasts are now perky rather than burdensome and matronly in appearance. She went from a size 14 to a size 6 and recently told me she was able to fit into a size 4! This case illustrates the improved overall results from staging procedures as well as the benefits from diet and exercise.

This mother of two was interested in rejuvenation of her post-pregnancy body. We elected to perform a liposuction of her trunk and extremities, a bilateral breast enhancement as well as a mini tummy tuck (the removal of skin on her lower abdomen only). She is seen here at about six months after her procedure.

This mom was interested in body and breast contouring procedures. She didn’t like the sagginess or width of her breasts. She didn’t like the excess skin on her abdomen. She had a full abdominoplasty as well as some liposuction about her posterolateral flanks. We also reduced her breasts, lifted them and placed a moderate sized implant mostly for superior fullness and more breast projection. Note the improvement in her abdomen and the improvement in the appearance of her breasts.
Age: 41 Motherhood Makeover
This mother of three children was interested in liposuction. She is a large framed woman (at 186 pounds) with significant cellulite and only fair to good skin. We decided on performing a large volume liposuction and a skin tuck on the lower abdomen. The “after” photos were taken one year later (at 166 pounds). She is very pleased with her results and is now interested in a breast lift and augmentation for more youthful and elevated breasts.
Motherhood Makeover
This patient desired a post-childbirth makeover. We performed procedures on her breasts and abdomen to obtain the desired result.
Breasts: She desired larger and fuller breasts. Her left breast was larger than her right, and her breasts were relatively high on her chest wall. We opted for a bilateral breast augmentation with silicone implants (325cc on the right and 300cc on the left).
Abdomen: She had a small amount of excess fat on the mid to lower abdomen. In addition, she was not pleased with a poorly healed vertical scar on her lower abdomen from a former emergency surgery. We performed a small amount of liposuction on the mid to lower abdomen. Also, we performed a skin tuck on the lower abdomen with a removal of her vertical scar (and her tattoo!) with an “easily hidden” horizontal scar. Her abdominal scar is a bit red and enlarged in the midline (this scar will improve with time and silicone strips use). After five months, she was very pleased with the results.
Age: 28 Motherhood Makeover
This mother of three was interested in body contouring and a breast reduction. Because of her excellent breast tissue, we elected for a liposuction breast reduction and liposuction of her trunk and extremities. We expected her skin to retract because her abdominal fascia was relatively strong; however, we discussed that she might need an abdominoplasty (at a later date). Indeed, she is very happy with her results (although imperfect) and therefore did not request additional procedures.
Note that her breasts are much smaller than they were before — but don’t look as small (in this photo) because of the extensive liposuction of her trunk (which makes her breasts appear bigger). If we had performed liposuction of her trunk (without a reduction of her breasts), her breasts would look huge in comparison.
