Before and after bilateral mastopexy and augmentation in a 40 year old mother. As part of her Mommy Makeover, she wanted to get her formerly full and round D cup breasts back!
Smooth round silicone gel breast implants were placed on top of the muscle for the most natural look and to replace missing breast volume. She did NOT want her breasts to look fake! A breast lift raised the position of her nipples, decreased her areola diameter and tucked loose, baggy breast skin around the new breast shape.
Liposuction of a small area of armpit fat (“axillary rolls”) completed her procedure. After her Mommy Makeover, she took a month off work and allowed her family and friends to take over her Mommy duties. If this breast surgery was her only procedure, she could have returned to work in 2-3 weeks and started exercising at one month.
Follow up photos are shown 10 weeks after surgery. She has begun scar therapy and her nerves are starting to wake up. There are several areas of “post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation”, which is very common in dark skinned individuals. She understands it will be a full year before her scars are near their final stages of maturation and up to a year before her sensation returns fully.
