Jul 14, 2020
In my experience I believe that indeed you will need sufficient volume to fill out your breast pocket – i.e. fill it up enough so that it gets that “perky” look. We do so many breast surgeries at our surgery center that I have the fortunate luck of being able to size my patients before selecting the final implant that works best for their body and shape. You very well may need 800 cc, but, I believe sizing in the operating room is the best approach.
All the best,Dr. Bekanich
Jul 7, 2020
Personally, I rarely rarely use the SSX. I just don’t think the diameter/width to the projection just makes things look a little pointed and unnatural. Based on the picture you posted I think you would really do great with the 520 cc or 560 cc SSF.
All the best with your surgery!
-Dr. Bekanich
Jul 7, 2020
From your pictures it looks like you are in great shape. This will help you with really getting a great result. From what I can see I believe you would be best with either a mini-abdominoplasty or a full abdominoplasty with a small vertical scar for the belly button skin opening. I think if you take out the fat that the skin will not contract back quite like you might want. Clearly, an in person exam is the best to really figure out your best choices.
All…
Jul 7, 2020
I completely understand what you are asking about. In general I am not a fan of the extra high profiles because I feel that the ration of the diameter to the projection is too pointed looking. Really, the implant recommendations are based on what measurements are taken at the appointment. For your frame I agree that in the 300’s is probably best. I always size my patients before I put in the final implants during the surgery. I have found this to be…
Jul 2, 2020
What you are describing is indeed a very normal procedure that is done. In the past these surgeries were separated into two events. Nowadays, these surgeries are combined almost all the time versus splitting them. If getting your care from an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon you can feel confident that they will know the right volume versus lift technique that is best suited for your body. That really is the key – knowing what can be done…
Jul 1, 2020
In my experience I believe you would benefit from a larger implant. You may need some fold work based on how things look with your arms down and from the front view. For sure you would need an in person physical exam to help determine the best surgery approach for you.
All the best with your surgery,
-Dr. Bekanich
Jun 23, 2020
Based on your picture from the front it looks like you do need a lift with a secondary augmenation. From your side photo they look more lifted. Sometimes when we pull back our shoulders the breast can look more lifted than it really is. An in person exam is really what you need if you are looking for a true second opinion. With your skin tone my experience is that over time your scar will blend in well.
All the best in achieving your…
Jun 17, 2020
You can likely take up some of that excess skin softness look with a larger implant and/or higher profile. From your front and side picture I believe things look really good – also, considering that you don’t mind having a more natural look. A lot will also depend on the exam, capsule quality and technique that you and your surgeon decide on.
All the best with your surgery,
-Dr. Bekanich

Having the implants sit closer together to give more cleavage is an option for sure. However, moving them in also means moving them out – meaning that the diameter (how wide the implant is) will be evident both towards the center chest as well as towards your arm. If they move the nipple more towards center you would not need to have a wider implant, but, that is a little more involved. What you don’t want is for your nipple to be sitting on the side of the implant and…

Tummy tuck for sure with liposuction along the sides. You do have a little weight on your abdomen, but, a lot of that will come off with removal of that lower portion. Everyone gets the best result if they are closer to their goal weight. However, if your upper abdomen is pretty thin and most of it is lower then it doesn’t matter as much. With two kids you will gain a ton by having muscle repair so I would not skip that if I were you. I think you…
Jan 16, 2020
Since you are starting on the smaller side the best implant for you is silicone, under the muscle and of modest volume. Because you are thin no matter what you will see the shape of the implant. Sometimes patients will then want to have a textured anatomical (shaped) implant. I think if you pick a modest size that you can get a very similar result with a round implant.
Good luck with your journey!
All the best – Dr. Bekanich

I think you would be a good candidate for a tummy tuck. While pregnancy does change the skin causing often times permanent damage to the skin you can remove some of it to make a large difference softness to the skin – i.e. the wrinkles. It won’t take away all the wrinkles as the underlying skin has internal damage to it, but, it will make a huge difference. Liposuction around the waist/hips always adds the final touches that make a fabulous result…
Jan 3, 2020
In my experience I feel that I could get a great result for you with a body lift (360) rather than having a Fleur De Lis component added. I agree with you that it seems from the pictures that you do not have an extensive amount of excess skin and fat above the belly button. An in person exam is the ultimate deciding factor however. Perhaps consider getting a second opinion before deciding. I think this will help a lot. Good luck with everything!

Based on your photos I would recommend having liposuction to the upper abdomen, lower abdomen, waist, hips, sacrum and back bra rolls. Then use that fat for the transfer for the BBL. In the pictures your skin looks like it is in good shape so I think it will likely tighten well after the liposuction. But- to fully address any concerns about a little loose skin on the lower abdomen I would recommend adding on an “alveolar abdominoplasty” (skin only) so that you can obtain the…
