Which one: Mini TT or Full TT?
Which one: Mini TT or Full TT? (Photo)
Apr 27, 2022
Mini tummy tucks usually address the abdomen from the umbilicus to the pubic area. In my opinion, the best way to get a flat abdomen would be to repair the separation in the muscle all the way to your breast bone (sternum) which most doctors consider as a regular tummy tuck. Just tightening the muscle from the umbilicus down would not give you a good result. When you see your plastic surgeon, make sure you understand what he/she is doing since different doctors may use different names for...

Apr 27, 2022
Deciding which type of breast lift to have depends on breast measurements and shape, how much of a lift you desire, and what types of scars you are willing to accept. As my colleagues who have already answered mentioned, all breast lift options are not interchangeable. When you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon, ask them to explain why they recommend a particular lift. Sometimes less of an incision is not always better because you may not get the look you are desiring.

What procedure would need to be done to achieve lifted 'perky' breasts?
Breast Lift
Aug 2, 2015
You would require a breast lift to place the nipple in a more youthful position. You may or may not require an implant depending on the cup size you desire and how much upper pole fullness you want. As always, a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is the best option to answer your question.

To lift or not to lift
Jan 30, 2015
After reviewing your pictures, I would definitely recommend a lift and augmentation. With an augmentation alone, the breast will be "falling off" the implant and be unattractive. As always, a physical exam with precise measurements are needed to verify an opinion based on photos alone.

Recent breast lift

It is very difficult to evaluate your results without first seeing a preoperative photo and physical exam. In my experience, massive weight loss patients have poor elastic skin properties and the skin tends to stretch more than those patients who undergo a breast lift without such significant weight loss. You should discuss your results with your surgeon and voice your concerns.

Saline versus silicone implants
Jan 27, 2015
In my practice, women choose silicone over saline implants when they want the breast to feel more natural and they are concerned with visible saline implant rippling. Based on review of your photos, it appears you would have enough tissue that visible rippling would be unlikely. The more natural breast and fatty tissue you have, the less you will feel the implant. Ultimately, an examination in person would be necessary to confirm this opinion, but I do believe saline implants are an option...
Liposuction or Tummy Tuck? Which of the two would give me the best results for my stomach?
Lipo versus tummy tuck
Jan 27, 2015
Thank you for your question. This is a very common question with patients. After reviewing your photos, I would recommend a full abdominoplasty with liposuction of the flanks and back. A mini tummy tuck would only address the area below the umbilicus and would not give you the result you desire. Also, you have too much skin laxity for liposuction alone. Please seek consultation in person from a board certified plastic surgeon who does all of these procedures to get the best and most accurate...

Time off Work
Jan 27, 2015
Typically, I have patients out of work one week if they have a relatively sedentary job or two weeks with a more active job following a breast lift. I do not allow patients to begin to exercise for two weeks. These are guidelines, but ultimately it depends on how well you are healing. Best wishes for your surgery.

Breast Augmentation
Sep 3, 2014
Based on your photograph, I believe a round or shaped implant would give you excellent upper pole fullness. Measurements and the relationship of the nipple to your inframammary fold will determine the need for a breast lift. Your arms are elevated in the photo which makes it difficult to see the true nipple position. As always, it is important to make a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. I hope this helps.
Do I need a mini or a full Tummy Tuck? Or do you have other suggestions?
Mini or full tummy tuck

The photos you have submitted suggest you have abdominal wall weakness that extends above your umbilicus. A mini tummy tuck will not adequately address your concerns and may actually make your tummy look worse. Your hernia could be repaired at the same time as the tummy tuck. I would only do a full tummy tuck for you. Actually, the scar for a full tummy tuck is just a little longer than a mini. I hope this helps you make a decision. Remember, always go to a board certified plastic surgeon...
Is it okay to have liposuction prior to having children?

It is absolutely fine to do liposuction before pregnancy. It will not adversely affect your pre or post pregnancy care. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon. Best wishes.Dr. Liszka

Tummy tuck

When I look at your pictures, it seems to me you have lost some of the benefits of your abdominal wall repair especially above the umbilicus. There may be no muscle separation, but there could be some stretching of the abdominal wall fascia. To improve your result, you would most likely require another operation to tighten the abdominal wall and maybe address any skin or fatty excess as well. As you know, that would require a physical exam to evaluate. Hope this helps.Sincerely,Thomas...
