Tummy Tuck Case

Details for Case #5603

This 47-year-old mother wanted her pre-pregnancy figure back. She was tired of her large and saggy breasts as well as the excess skin on her stomach. Wanting to smooth her body, she scheduled a consultation with one of the talented plastic surgeons at Marina Plastic Surgery Associates.

Because she had so many areas of concern, her surgeon recommended that she undergo a combination of procedures, often called a mommy makeover. For this particular patient, her mommy makeover included a breast reduction and lift with the Laser Bra and a tummy tuck procedure.

The breast reduction in combination with a breast lift would address the size and sagginess of her breasts. In a typical breast reduction and lift procedure, a flap of skin is removed from the breast and discarded; however, in the Laser Bra procedure, this skin is treated with a CO2 laser and then sutured internally under the breast to create a natural bra. This procedure helps to support the breasts more over time.

Her tummy tuck addressed the folds of excess skin and fat on her abdomen and after the procedure was completed, she was left with a flat stomach. This woman’s results are dramatic; her breasts are now at a perky 36 C+ and her stomach looks smooth and even. She was asked what she thought of her body after her breast enhancement and tummy tuck in Los Angeles and replied that she was very happy with the results.
