About Mommy Makeovers
Sometimes after childbirth, women will lose breast volume, which makes them very unhappy. They end up with less breast and more belly—it’s very upsetting, for obvious reasons.
A mommy makeover can add volume to the breasts and restore a woman’s trim, youthful belly, which is often as helpful to her spirits as it is to her body.
FAQ
Does breastfeeding cause the breasts to sag?
We’re really not convinced that breastfeeding causes the breasts to lose volume, but certainly some process does take place after childbirth where women lose volume.
Is it safe to have 2 surgical procedures at the same time?
As long as the surgery does not take more than 4-1/2 to 5 hours, research shows that undergoing more than one plastic surgery procedure at a time is no more dangerous than having a single procedure.
Will I have scars after the procedure?
Any time incisions are made, there will be a scar. Mommy makeover patients typically undergo a tummy tuck and some type of cosmetic breast surgery that may or may not include breast implants. One of my primary jobs as a plastic surgeon is to make incisions as inconspicuous as possible and minimize the appearance of scars.
Are there advantages to combining breast augmentation and a tummy tuck?
Yes. Working through the tummy tuck incision, I have open access all the way up to the rib margin. From there, it’s only about four centimeters to gain access to the breast region to place breast implants.
Isn’t that approach to breast augmentation the same as a TUBA?
No. If I try to place breast implants with a TUBA, I’m working through a very small incision at the level of the belly button and without the advantages that a surgeon might have with laparoscopy because it’s all being done through one incision.
Why is the tummy tuck incision approach easier on the patient than a TUBA?
Basically, the TUBA uses a rigid sigmoidoscope to create a tunnel to gain access from the belly button to the chest. Then there is a lot of blunt pushing and pulling of the implant to obtain the desired placement.
There is almost no precise dissection of the tissues in a surgical manner. A TUBA involves a lot of ripping and tearing. There is also very little ability to control bleeding in a TUBA procedure.
That’s why I don’t do TUBAs. By contrast, using a tummy tuck incision and a standard lighted retractor, I can see the entire surgical field and perform a controlled surgical dissection in a stable environment. This helps avoid complications like bleeding, infection and breast implant asymmetry.
