Mommy Makeover Before & After Case 1373

This patient began her transformation with a significant weight loss of 130 pounds, which brought welcome changes but also left her with excess skin and areas of decreased elasticity. She sought a Mommy Makeover in Los Angeles to address concerns about her abdomen, breast volume, and body proportions. Her goals included feeling more comfortable in her body and regaining confidence after such a dramatic shift in her appearance.

For her Mommy Makeover, she underwent breast augmentation using 450 CC cohesive silicone gel implants placed under the muscle through incisions at the areola, which helped to restore youthful proportions to her upper body. Power-assisted liposuction was performed to contour the waist and hips, enhancing an hourglass silhouette. An extended abdominoplasty and pubic lift addressed excess abdominal skin and improved the contour of the lower abdomen and pubic region. The belly button was carefully shaped to produce a natural, aesthetically pleasing result. The patient expressed satisfaction with the low placement of the incision, which remains hidden by most swimwear.

Her long-term follow-up, three years after surgery, demonstrates durable results. Visible scarring is minimal and well-concealed, allowing her to wear clothing of her choice—with the confidence she had hoped for prior to surgery. She is now planning the next step in her body contouring journey with an inner thigh lift to address new concerns that have emerged as her fitness has increased. The initial procedures provided both physical improvement and helped her achieve personal milestones in self-image.

Dr. David Stoker, board-certified plastic surgeon at Stoker Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles, performed these procedures with attention to the patient’s natural anatomy and long-term goals. His training and experience in body contouring allow him to offer patients tailored solutions for complex cases following significant weight loss. Dr. Stoker believes in placing incisions discreetly and using techniques that balance safety with the improvement of form and function.
