Tummy Tuck Case #273

This is a 40 year old mother of 2 who was dissatisfied with her figure following pregnancies, nursing, and having lost 60 pounds through diet and exercise.  To achieve the results seen here, I performed a tummy tuck, liposuction, as well as a breast lift with autoaugmentation.  This technique (sometimes referred to as an “enhanced mastopexy”) involved releasing a “flap” or section of the patient’s own breast tissue from the lower portion of her breast, followed by a repositioning in the upper portion of the breast. The “flap” is passed beneath a small strip of the pectoralis or chest wall muscle to stabilize or hold it in place. This provides patient with extra fullness and avoids the use of an implant.  Click here to learn more about this breast enhancement technique.
