Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 26

This is a 37 year-old stay-at-home mother of 3 wanted to reverse the changes of childbirth. She wanted to restore her breast volume and improve her abdomen She wore a “B” cup and wanted to a full “C” cup. She also wanted to improve the appearance of the loose skin of her abdomen. She was dissatisfied with the aged appearance of her belly button that occurred after numerous surgical procedures. Her search for an Orlando, Fl plastic surgeon led her to Michael Diaz, MD, a Melbourne, FL Mommy Makeover Specialist.

During her consultation Dr. Diaz took a detailed history and evaluated her breasts and abdomen. She had loss of volume with some loose skin. Her abdominal skin was loose with a flat and misshapen belly button. There was excess fat in the are of the love handles which was blunting her natural curves. Dr. Diaz developed an individualized Mommy Makeover surgical plan that would address her desires and goals. She modeled implants and liked how 400cc of volume made her look and feel especially in her favorite tops. Her surgical journey included a breast augmentation using smooth round silicone gel “gummy bear” implants as well as a tummy tuck with liposuction of her love handles. 

Her surgery was performed in an accredited outpatient surgical facility, allowing her to recover in the comfort and privacy of her home. During her procedure, Dr. Diaz placed the implants in the Dual Plane sub muscular pocket using the Keller Funnel, a short scar breast implant delivery device that allows silicone gel implants to be placed with a shorter scar using the “minimal touch” technique. High Profile implants were used to improve the upper pole and overall volume while avoiding making the breasts excessively wide.  Her abdominal wall was tightened by repairing the separated muscles with a 2 layer “corset” which helped narrow the waist. Her original belly button was reshaped and repositioned in a more youthful location. The love handles were improved with liposuction as well. 

Her surgery was performed in an accredited outpatient surgical facility which gave this patient the opportunity to recover in the privacy and comfort of her home. Her recovery was smooth and on schedule. She was seen often by Dr. Diaz and his staff, ever vigilant to intervene should any problems arise. Soon after she was able to return to her activities. She was able to were a “C” cup bra which fit snuggly. She enjoyed her new contours and how she looked not only in tight fitting tops but swimwear as well. She is very happy with her result.
