Are sagging breasts and a loose, untoned abdomen after pregnancy or significant weight loss concerning you?

What is a Breast Lift with Tummy Tuck?
A breast lift done along with a tummy tuck is a combination surgical procedure that is generally a part of a mommy makeover. The reason behind considering them under this procedure is that they cover areas commonly affected by pregnancy.
- Breast lift: Breast lift, also known as mastopexy, enhances and corrects breast sagging, which is common after pregnancy. This happens because the skin cannot fully retract, and extra skin can pull the breast down and cause breast sagging. An anchor-shaped incision is placed to remove the extra skin on the breast, leaving visible scarring.
- Tummy tuck: Tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure to address loose skin on the abdomen. As during pregnancy, the skin of the abdomen stretches to make room for the fetus, these structures should naturally return to their original state, but often do not fully retract. This is one of the common reasons for selecting the tummy tuck procedure.
