Cedar Rapids Mommy Special Plastic Surgery
A mommy makeover in Cedar Rapids, IA is a very powerful procedure to address some of the changes that occur with the breasts and abdomen after pregnancy and lactation.
You will have a great improvement in your abdominal contour with a tummy tuck combined with hip and flank liposuction. With respect to your breasts, a lift will make your breasts appear more youthful.
Breast lifts will remove the excess skin and move your nipple up to a more youthful location but will not provide a lot of consistent fullness to the upper part of your breasts. A breast implant can improve the upper pole fullness.
Another good option would be to have a lift combined with injection of fat into the upper part of your breast. The fat that is removed from the abdomen, hips and flanks can be processed and injected into the breasts.
Weight loss before or after tummy tuck and breast augmentation
I am so sorry you’ve been through such a frustrating process. Although in an ideal world, we would all be at our goal weight before surgery, we don’t live in an ideal world.
You have made a determined effort to lose weight – I think it is a good time to start plans for your surgery and see if with moderate exercise and fewer calories you can shed a few pounds before surgery.
The reality is that almost everyone in the USA wants to lose 5 – 10 pounds and never does – Always see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
Is Liposuction an essential element for a Mommy Makeover / Post-Baby Tune-Up® ?
It is very important that your treatment be individualized to just what you need and can benefit from. The reality is that the procedures you mentioned (tummy tuck, breast lift, and breast augmentation) can often produce a very dramatic improvement.
On the other hand, liposuction and procedures that just remove fat, while they should produce an improvement, the improvement from liposuction is not usually a dramatic improvement. So, I think liposuction is a very-optional part of the Mommy Makeover / Post-Baby Tune-Up® combination.
You should focus on what you most need from mommy lift in Cedar Rapids, IA — your plastic surgeon should guide your decision. The tummy-tuck can be done without a drain — in my experience, this allows less discomfort and quicker recovery, as well as a proven reduction in the incidence of seroma, which is the most common complication reported from abdominoplasty.
I would recommend a breast augmentation with a small breast lift to help you achieve better symmetry and shape. The size and type of implant would be determined based on your measurements and your desired results from mommy tuck.
For your abdomen, I would recommend an extended abdominoplasty where we liposuction your back and hip area to offer the best waistline to hip ratio and then perform a tummy tuck. Some women prefer the fat removed be used to contour the hips also. You are an excellent candidate and I wish you an amazing surgical result.
Modest droopiness of the breast can be camouflaged with a breast implant in eliminating the need for a breast lift
Hard to say but the nipple looks like it is on the lower 1/2 of the breast so a lift may be needed.
Combining surgeries
What patients want to hear: “Why yes, of course” The reality: increased anesthesia risk due to extended length of procedure – increased DVT risk due to length of procedure – Post-op positioning issues due to sitting in flexed position (required for tummy tuck), putting pressure on fat grafted area of buttocks, leading to re-absorption of fat and poor result in buttock contouring. Personally, I would not combine these two procedures, for these reasons. But there are surgeons that do.
From observing your pictures and from reading about your goal, you will benefit dramatically from tummy tuck and full lift ( key hole ) of your breasts. I do not recommend combined tummy tuck and liposuction because of the high risk of severe complications.
1. Leave it as is.
2. Add small implant to the left breast.
3. Reduce slightly the right breast.
Always consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive.
Smoking and Aesthetic Surgery
I typically like my clients to cease smoking 8 weeks prior to the planned procedure. Our office reserves the right to test nicotine levels prior to surgery if there is any doubt. Smoking hinders the circulation and may play a role in incision brakedown.
Additionally, smoking decreases the lungs’ effectiveness to clear mucous which can be somewhat problematic after mommy surgery. There obviously is NO SMOKING during the recovery period.
One month minimum no smoking before and after these elective cosmetic plastic surgery procedures. I agree with most other comments listed. A month before is my usual plan for my patients.
Should i stay home after the mommy makeover in Cedar Rapids, IA?
A combination breast and abdomen surgery is a lot of work. There is little chance that you are going to want to go home afterward. However, even if you stay in the hospital it is recommended that you get out of bed and walk around so that you don’t develop a blood clot.
