Mommy Makeover Patient 33**

About This Patient

This 55 year old patient requested Dr. Parker to make her breasts smaller and lift them. In addition, she asked to have her abdomen flatter and more contoured after having had 3 children. The patient had undergone saline implant breast augmentation and an inverted T breast lift years ago. Over time, her breasts enlarged and sagged. She is 5’7″ tall, weighs 150 pounds, and wears a 34 F bra. After examining the patient, Dr. Parker discussed options with her. They agreed-upon explantation, or removal of her implants, as well as a lollipop breast lift. They also discussed tummy tuck options. The patient wished to recover as quickly as possible due to work constraints. Dr. Parker explained a Parker Tummy Tuck could be performed without tightening her rectus abdominus muscles since the muscles were in good shape; this would make her recovery quicker and easier. Several weeks later, Dr. Parker performed these procedures. Regarding her breasts, Dr. Parker removed a 510 cc implant from the right breast and a 470 cc implant from the left breast along with performing total capsulectomies. He then lifted her breasts into a more youthful position with a lollipop lift. At the same time, Dr. Parker performed a Parker Tummy Tuck, including liposuction of the entire abdomen, removing her loose abdominal skin but did not tighten her rectus abdominus muscles. The patient bounced back quickly from her surgery and likes her smaller, uplifted breasts. She is also very pleased with her improved abdominal contour.
