Mommy Makeover Before & After Case 1168
Before & After
Case Details
This is a beautiful example of a mommy makeover on a mother of twins who had extreme diastasis recti. This 35-year-old beautiful mom desired three key treatments, and one is a breast lift. Number two is a tummy tuck, repairing her abdomen, including the muscles, skin, and fat. The third is 360-degree power-assisted liposuction. She ended up not doing the liposuction for this mommy makeover, so the focus will be on those first two procedures.
The breast lift is just a beautiful result where the nipples were raised, resulting in more perky, more full breasts to accomplish her goal of restoring her figure. The most impressive outcome of this case is the severe diastasis recti. You can see the abdominal muscles in the front of the abdomen severely separated, causing her intestines and other internal organs to bulge out. She can do nothing to improve that short of surgery, so Dr. Stoker performed a diastasis repair. This is a multi-layered procedure where He probably brought in her abdomen about four or five inches to tighten the waist and give her that snatched appearance. He got rid of all of that excess skin, lifted and tightened her pubic area, giving her a profound result.
The other key thing to know about diastasis repairs is that it's not just a cosmetic procedure. When the muscles are not in the appropriate position in the front, patients are much more susceptible to a lower back injury. Lower back pain is one of the most common things people suffer from as they age, so it is a major reason to deal with significant diastasis recti. For her, the appearance alone made her one thrilled mom.
