Mommy Makeover with Implant Exchange*

This patient of Dr. Decherd's not only had several babies, but also had recently undergone weight loss surgery. After losing around 100 lbs., her skin had lost elasticity, and her implant pockets and abdominal wall had been stretched out. After consulting with Dr. Decherd, she decided on a full abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and an implant exchange. Every patient has different goals, and she was pleasantly surprised that a breast lift wasn't imperative for her to achieve her goals for her breasts. Dr. Decherd switched her implants from saline to 485cc high profile silicone gel implants. He was able to work on the inside of the breast pocket to raise the implants for a more youthful look and better cleavage. He plicated her abdominal wall 8-9 cm and removed excess skin. She is very happy with her results and so is Dr. Decherd!
