Patient Details
This is a 33-year-old mother (5'7, 128 lbs) of three children, all conceived and delivered over 4 years through vaginal deliveries. Each baby weighed more than nine pounds, and she breastfed each child. She complained of bulge of her abdomen with separation of her abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) and hanging excess skin, as well as considerable breast drooping. She runs 3 times a week, weight trains 3 times a week, and is at her ideal body weight. None of these have had an impact on her abdominal or breast contour. The patient underwent a tummy tuck and a breast lift.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Technique: Repair of Diastase Recti with long plication and excision of skin excess.
Breast Lift Technique: Central parenchymal pedicle, inverted T incisions.
