According to Sydney plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Sackelariou there are many benefits to breast augmentation and abdominoplasty after having a baby.
After pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding, women often find that their breasts have lost their youthful appearance and this may be accompanied by a loss of tone in the tummy.
In the appropriate patient, breast augmentation is an ideal way to restore the youthful fullness of the breasts. In this case study, the breasts were also lifted without the need for breast uplift surgery with its associated scarring.
Abdominoplasty, commonly called a "tummy tuck," combined with liposculpture to the waist, or abdominal liposculpture alone, can flatten the tummy and restore the waist.
The combination of breast augmentation, abdominoplasty and liposculpture following pregnancy and breastfeeding work together to give a more dramatic effect. These procedures can be performed during one operation requiring only a single hospital admission; reducing recovery time.
