Patient Details
The before and after results featured in this gallery showcase a 29-year-old mother who desired comprehensive body contouring after pregnancy and cesarean delivery. Despite maintaining an active lifestyle, she continued to struggle with loose abdominal skin, stubborn fat around the waist, and changes in her breasts that could not be improved through diet or exercise alone.
Following one pregnancy and C-section, she experienced abdominal skin redundancy, excess flank fat, loss of breast volume, breast sagging, enlarged areolas, and noticeable breast asymmetry. Her goal was to restore her pre-pregnancy figure while maintaining a soft, natural-looking appearance.
To achieve these goals, Dr. Mihail Climov performed a customized Mommy Makeover combining advanced breast surgery with body contouring procedures.
Procedures Performed
Patient Goals
This patient wanted to:
She specifically requested 385 cc implants, seeking fuller breasts that would remain proportional to her body.
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of procedures designed to restore areas of the body most affected by pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight changes.
Rather than addressing a single concern, a Mommy Makeover simultaneously improves the breasts and abdomen while sculpting surrounding areas for balanced, harmonious results. Combining procedures also allows patients to undergo a single recovery period instead of multiple separate surgeries.
No two Mommy Makeovers are exactly alike. Every surgical plan is tailored to the patient's anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals.
Why Dr. Climov Chose a Subfascial Breast Augmentation
For this patient, Dr. Climov selected the subfascial breast augmentation technique, positioning the implants beneath the breast fascia while preserving the pectoralis muscle.
This approach offers several advantages for appropriate candidates, including:
The patient received 385 cc Allergan Natrelle INSPIRA SRF silicone implants, providing increased projection while maintaining soft, natural contours.
Breast Lift with Donut Mastopexy
Because pregnancy had caused breast descent and enlarged nipple-areolar complexes, a circumareolar (donut) breast lift was performed simultaneously with breast augmentation.
This technique allowed Dr. Climov to:
Preoperatively, the left nipple was positioned lower and the areola was larger than the right. Careful surgical planning helped achieve significantly improved balance and symmetry.
Extended Tummy Tuck for Pregnancy Changes
Pregnancy frequently stretches the abdominal skin beyond its ability to naturally contract. Even after returning to a healthy weight, many women are left with loose skin that cannot be corrected through exercise.
An extended abdominoplasty removes this excess skin while tightening the abdominal contour and extending correction beyond the front of the abdomen to improve the waistline.
For patients with flank fullness, combining tummy tuck surgery with liposuction creates a much more complete body contour.
Flank Liposuction for Better Waist Definition
Power-assisted liposuction was used to remove stubborn fat deposits along both flanks.
This additional contouring helps create:
Treating the waist together with the abdomen and breasts creates the balanced silhouette that many patients seek after pregnancy.
Results at 2 Months
These photographs were taken 2 months after surgery, when much of the initial swelling had already resolved.
The patient demonstrates:
While healing continues for several months after surgery, early improvements are already clearly visible at this stage. Final scar maturation and soft tissue settling typically continue over the first year.
