Female Patient aged 29 undergoes a Tummy Tuck
Patient # 688 Age: 29 Height: 5'10" Weight: 190 Sex: F
Procedure: Breastlift/Abdominoplasty Breastlift: Vertical (Lejour) Before Bra Size: 36DD After Bra Size: 36D Children: 1 Pregnancies: 3 After Photos: 15 months. This 29 year old, 5' 10" female patient presented for abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and mastopexy (breastlift) after a 70 pound weight loss. At the time of her surgery, her weight was 190, down from a maximum weight of 260 pounds. She had 3 pregnancies, and delivered 1 child. Before surgery, she had marked laxity of abdominal skin and muscles; the abdominal skin was stretched out and musculature was weak. She had pronounced stretch marks around the abdomen (more visible on the side view). Her breasts were sagging (ptotic). Dr. Zevon performed a Lejour (vertical) type mastopexy and abdominoplasty. After surgery, the shape of her breasts and abdomen are improved. The orientation and position of the areola on the breast is changed, with the nipple/areola pointing directly out, not down. The appearance of the belly button (umbilicus) is improved. Her bra size before surgery was 36 DD; after surgery, her bra size was 36D. Overall, her body contour is more aesthetic. The after photographs were taken 15 months after her surgery.
