When Twyla, a 43-year-old mother of two, realized her dedication within the gymnasium wasn’t delivering the outcomes she wished, she turned to New York plastic surgeon Kevin Tehrani, MD for an answer. What adopted was a complete Mommy Makeover that included a tummy tuck and a breast elevate with added quantity courtesy of her personal fats.
Mommy Makeover Decisions
Not all Mommy Makeovers are the identical, and Twyla’s was custom-made to suit her physique and targets. Her process included repairing stomach separation, performing liposuction 360 for full-body contouring, and utilizing her personal fats to boost the form and quantity of her breasts as a substitute of choosing implants.
“I had just been in the gym for so long and I wasn’t getting the results that I wanted,” Twyla says. She walked into her session open-minded, letting Dr. Tehrani information the plan. “Other than telling him I wanted to keep my thighs the way they were; I trusted him to sculpt me. For my breasts, I didn’t want humongous breasts. I didn’t want an implant either, but I wanted a change in shape that looked natural and reminded me of what I had before kids. He recommended transferring some of my natural fat, and I love them now.”
As Dr. Tehrani notes, the planning course of is at all times tailor-made: “It’s a discussion I have now with all patients, even if they didn’t come talking to me about their breasts, because I want to let them know, hey, this is an option…It may go away, and you may never have that option in the future or as much of an option in the future. So, it’s a discussion that we have as a comprehensive consultation.”

Utilizing fats to volumize the breasts is rising in popularity, although it’s not at all times the primary possibility individuals consider. Twyla says she’s glad she selected it: “I didn’t feel any pain in my breasts. It was seamless.”
Dr. Tehrani notes that whereas not each little bit of transferred fats survives, what does turns into everlasting. “We always over-inject because 60 to 80 percent of the fat survives long term. That fat behaves like fat anywhere else in your body, if you gain weight, it gets bigger, if you lose weight, it gets smaller—but it stays exactly where we place it.”
Shaping All of the Approach Round
A giant a part of Twyla’s makeover was lipo 360, focusing on her stomach, flanks and again collectively. “Our bodies are not piecemeal,” Dr. Tehrani explains. “By treating the entire circumference, you get more shape and better tightening.”
Paired with a tummy tuck, tightening her stomach muscle tissue made a dramatic distinction. “When I came for my consultation, he was able to take two fingers and literally put a hole in my belly. Now I hit a wall. My abs are back, and I can feel my muscles strengthening as I work out,” Twyla says. “I used to drag myself to the gym. Now I feel like I’m working out with purpose.”
For Twyla, the actual takeaway isn’t about chasing perfection, it’s about feeling like herself once more and making a alternative only for her. “I did that for me,” she says. “You have children for your family, but this was something I chose just for myself. And I wouldn’t change a thing.”
