Before and after a breast reduction and lift as part of a Mommy Makeover in a 40-year-old woman. Her breasts had changed after having children; she did not recognize herself when she looked in the mirror!
Mommy Makeover procedures do not always need to include breast implants – the most appropriate combination of procedures considers our patient’s goals for her body once she had finished having children, completed breastfeeding, achieved a stable weight and has help with her children during her surgical recovery.
A breast reduction removed excess heavy breast tissue and reshaped her breasts to become more perky and shapely. At the same procedure, an abdominoplasty removed her lower abdominal “pannus” (overhang or apron) and repaired her rectus abdominis muscles back together in the midline.
Liposuction permanently removed unwanted fat from her axillary rolls, upper and lower abdomen, pubic region, anterior flanks, and upper inner thighs. Follow up photos are shown one year after surgery.
